God - A question or an answer

God is mystery to all of us. Most of us are raised in a religious environment. And in our life God's introduction comes 1st then reason. And soon enough we start believing without questioning and never ask any question on God's existence and most of us never will.But today let me raise this question and hope you will also feel free to ask this question to yourselves I have asked this question to myself many times and concluded that there isn't any God. Now when I look at the definition of God it clearly shows that this is an evolved concept and it is not anything great its very simple concept yet powerful to convince a primitive mind. 
And when I concluded that there is any god it's not because of misery/crime or anything related to life and condition of our small tiny blue ball. It's because we don't need a creator. Concept of God came into existence because as Human curiosity we always asked questions to ourselves over and over again, What is aim of our life? From where we came? and so on. 

And people answered these questions with God, because its simple and its abstract. It hide all complexity and give a very simple answer to a how number of questions. Easy to accept because as Humans we always assumes that things need a creator. And within this answer we also dozed a question on creator of ultimate creator. There isn't any explanation on how god came into existence, what he was doing before we came into existence, what is his purpose and more. So because of this only I previously said this is a good answer for a primitive mind but when you go deeper you can feel that it's a shallow answer. 

God is unwanted entity, we can simple assert that Universe is eternal because there was no time/space existed without it. Universe is the beginning of time and it will be end of time. But this answer will not give you a comfort of having an invisible being who cares for you and who can change things for prayers. So many of you will find it difficult to accept because of comfort as well as a deep sited faith.

Slave of our own brain


From last few years I am having debate on god at my work, facebook and with friends. And few years ago I was unaware of the fact that people still believe in creationism. While having debate on God someone asked my how we came into this world and I answered that with evolution and that guy was start laughing as evolution is joke and asked Why Monkeys don't evolve to human in later stage of their life. And I tried to explain him how we are two branches of different source but for him creationism was truth and is truth because that his brain accepted due to his earlier strong believe in his religious book. And that person was graduated in Science stream so was fully aware of evolution.

So with his all knowledge about science and questions which arises in our life he still not able to change is thinking. And this is a case with me too. I am an atheist from a long time and I also want that people should be allowed to act freely until and unless they are not harming other. But still for few things I feel little reluctant due to environment in which I born and brought up.

I feel little reluctant about gays, over exposing girls, girls who smokes, girl who uses swear words in public and many more things. I want to change my thinking but still there is a part in me which feel little disturbed when I see those things happening around me.

And that I also seen with many others they also want freedom to everyone but due to their mindsets they feel disturbed from many things. And not able to change it.

It seems we are slaves of our thinking, we are living to satisfy our brain. We are free till our brain/thinking allow us.

If you think its different with you then try to observe your behavior and if you get hurt because of someone else's lifestyle then you are part of Team Slave.

Life? Why?What?Aim?



Life :: Why? What? Aim?


Why there is life?
What is purpose of life?
Any aim of human life or life in general?

These question generally comes into everyone's mind. And based on upbringing of one's or his knowledge he  try to find out answers of these questions.And a larger bunch of humans never got these questions as daily needs are enough for them.

These same questions are raised by many humans a long long ago. And few dark bright minded people answered these questions and widely accepted answers are still with us, passed from generations. And all those answers are linked with concept of God.

Without touching concept of God we will not able to go through all possible answers of these questions. And I am referring it as concept of God as its mere a concept, no logical reason and evidence available for it. But you are free to assume it a God or almighty or whatever you call it. 

Lets head back to dark days of humanity. We were not that much evolved in science but still biologically evolved. At that time answers are like

                     Why? God created this universe and put human on it.
                     What?  To test our moral character, good one will get eternal bliss and bad one will get eternal punishment.
                     Aim? Life's ultimate aim is to get united with God. After our death soul carries on with rebirth cycle to achieve its ultimate aim sooner or later.

These were answers from dark days. But still these are widely accepted as they are easy, they give us a good feeling that death is not just an end. And as we never want to die its a good way to feel good.

But with these answers few other questions popups like 
                      Who created God? [Eternal is answers from various religious books no other option]
                       Who created evil? [Satan is answer or ultimately God as he/it is ultimate creator]

This list a going to be huge and I know you will be able to find out question yourselves. 

But apart from these question I am not able to grasp why our soul needs Nirvana/Moksha/Eternal Bliss or whatever. What it will do after that? Are there any more challenges? Are there any rewards? What kind of rewards? How God will treat souls? Why fear of hell is required? Why greed of heaven is required to motivate good in humans? 

And these answers came from books which were not aware about our beloved Earth/Sun and Universe. And still they talk about creator of this world and also claim that these books are word of God. 

So for me these answers are garbage and I am ending it here only.

But now I have to find alternatives answers. So here are they

                     Why? Life is here because of favorable condition on this planet and we human evolved in millions of years. 
                      What? Only aim of life is survival of species. For that our own survival and reproduction is required. And you can see proof of this around us. Every living being is involved in these only. But as humans  we controlled reproduction to achieve a longer survival of our species. 
                    Aim? Aim of life is to achieve higher inner peace. Means to satisfy our needs. Or we can say that we are slaves of our brain. There is no diving aim and for my god loving/fearing friends its a bitter truth.
