"I don't know.."
Is it possible to say '"I don't know" in whether you believe in something, it's either you do or you don't right?
God. It's a such a small word with so much power, but why? Why does God exist? Or does he even exist?
The whole concept is so complex that no one can answer everything about this 'God', everything mostly remaining a mystery. However, there are those which rely on the Bible, the Quran or the Vedas to provide the answers in the name of God - but these books were written by human beings, just like us.
So maybe there is no God and we're just creating religion.
But is it a bad thing?
I'm a hindu. And yes, I do hesitate even stating that, because frankly, I'm just a bit doubtful of the religion. Confused maybe, so that means I'm agnostic?
But never an athiest. I want to believe the existence of God, not know, just believe. Whatever the religion, they all stem from the one God and its this one God which I do believe in. And I also believe that this is the source of mental power to us individuals.
The fact that I believe God is there in times of grief, providing me that extra reassurance, makes me feel better.
The fact that I believe God is there when I'm suffering, providing that extra support, makes me feel better.
The fact that I believe God is there under times of pressure, giving me that extra confidence, makes me feel better.
The fact that I believe God is there when I'm lonely, giving me that extra comfort, makes me feel better.
The fact that I believe God is there when I'm afraid, giving me that extra strength, makes me feel better.
It is the belief in God which makes us feel better not the existence of God.
I know many people don't believe in God.. their reason being - "Where's the proof?"
And honestly, I thought the exact same way especially being a strong science supporter but sometimes we need to stop searching for the proof and just indulge in the good. I don't think there was an Adam or an Eve or a 'really juicy fruit' which they ate because they listened to a snake (which was Satan). And also, if they were the first people to inhabit Earth, how did anyone possibly know the every detail of their actions as if they were there watching right down on them? God didn't write the Bible, did he? Where are all the dinosaurs and large creatures which roamed the Earth (as shown by fossil evidence) in the bible?
It doesn't make much sense to me. In fact, my belief is that God did create man and woman BUT by evolution. God created the physics of the universe. He initiated the Big Bang (as well as the science behind it) which led to the formation of our universe, our Earth, our countries, our plants, our animals and our people. It is he who developed all laws of physics such as gravity, energy, motion and mass so that we could make sense of it. But still, I know that there is so much more we haven't yet discovered.
Christianity may not be a religion which I completely believe in but it is one which I do respect. However, their belief of a heaven and a hell serve good purposes in our society and although there is no proof that it is true, there also isn't any proof that it is false either. And such an idea cannot produce proof for either side.
Those that have a belief in God, look towards him in the grief of a lost one, assuring themselves that their lost one hasn't just 'disappeared' but gone to a better place where they watch upon you. Although there may not be heaven, the idea, is what is soothing and is what creates mental strength.
The contrasting creation of a hell is what creates a warning to those who sin in life. It is a motivation to continue to be faithful, loyal preventing any sinful acts. Although there may not be a hell, the idea, is what forms a pleasant society to live in.
So maybe the creation of religion is a good thing.
It serves a purpose, more to some than others. It definitely does to me.
DON'T THINK. JUST BELIEVE.
DON'T THINK. JUST BELIEVE.
