I don’t believe in a God or a supreme power; But I trust (and can fully give) in the love that many people (I know), get from their faith in a God or Supreme Power or spirituality or what ever they have faith in. I am an atheist; but for me ‘Love’ is an emotion for which I don’t really care the source/belief/idea/imagination from which … Continue reading Love at the time of Tolera(nce)
What if after death you find God exists? Would you believe in him? As an atheist and humanist these are questions I often get from friends and always I answer them and it is kind of getting boring, anyway I am writing this post so I can direct them here next time. For the people who ask this question I will make a few statements that can in … Continue reading What if after death you find God exists?
It is sad to note how much people get fooled by those who claim to change things around by moving a few stones or drawing a few columns and by claiming to read the movement of stars and planets that they say constitute your destiny. Yes I am talking of the con artists who come out and take advantage of vulnerable good individuals, trapping them … Continue reading Godmen, Godwomen and other Sidekicks to God

How would study of religions be different if we take out God out of the equation? This poses two questions. Firstly why do you need it without God? And secondly why is religion relevant to be studied? Let me try to answer the second question first.

From fears, to laws, to cultures to wars, religions have played a major role. The future is also much the same and we are seeing more and more people trying to identify them with religions and trying to communicate with others through it. This in due course can create a vast gap among people and if more people are open to learn religion in a new light the more things can get closer. I strongly feel that this would be a better solution that promoting an outright rejection of religion.
Now for the first question, when you remove God from the equation, the whole thing becomes a philosophy which can be Continue reading “Religions should be studied without God in Mind”
‘I need a priest’ said the Atheist. ‘Why’ the man asked. ‘God is on the phone’ said the Atheist ‘and I can’t understand him’ Continue reading Atheist
The world has been debating the existence for a long time and not just the existence, but also the form, powers and character of God and how you reach him or her. I have always felt rather amused by the seriousness man takes in defining something he has not seen and is more a manifestation of his beliefs and upbringing. Now I will get a … Continue reading God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages
