I think most of the people pass through a real tough state of confusion about their belief in God. I am not talking about being religious /belief in a religion. I am talking about your belief/faith in God.
What does really God do? And why?
Why should I believe that God exists, I mean can you give me a convincing reason for this? When I raised similar questions, some of my friends said I am becoming an atheist and advised me not to think much about it because that kind of thoughts will not lead you to an answer but to vagueness.
Some say that there is a cause/reason for everything(hmm,I agree). To be precise, for every effect there should be a cause. So the cause of the origin of this universe is credited to “God”. And also the existence of it is also caused by him. And he decides everything! That means that there is no freewill. And we the little creatures have nothing of our own to do in here. Everything is predefined and predecided!!! Does it make sense? This thought makes me feel like nothing and nothing at all. So I am not in this side, since I am something and I have something to do with my life. Let me see there is some logic which is really reasonable to believe in God.
Many a times I felt like religion is more of with regard to the society and the living, than the real truth God. It’s good to preach and give us a base for our moral and ethical values. But over that, it’s essentially a blunder; most of the core ideas are misunderstood. It’s shameful to see these people fighting about these “misunderstandings”/ dogma.
Actually I feel that there is some ultimate power. May be its some fear of something which have influence on everything; me, you and everything, which are beyond our complete knowledge. But does it mean that, the things which cause/ happen without my influence/knowledge is done/ controlled by a single super power. My reasoning regarding this is, there is no such single power which (pre)decides everything. Every event happens as a result of many other things which are directly and indirectly impacts on it. Since we are not aware of these all things, we assume that there is someone who controls each and everything.
Why people believe that “God” is love and so…Why so many people believe that way? Anyway, I am not gonna believe that way, until I am totally convinced!. I will someday find the truth by myself. I have to.
If you were not told about God, would you by yourself realize the existence of God?
