In God' Defence

One who says he does not believe in God appeals to the most refined senses in us. More often than not an atheist has a very simple and strong logic to support his belief: he does not want to live his entire life with such a profound lie as God and the whole edifice founded on His existence. This logic can not be faulted. If there is no god, a life based on Him is a condemned life!

If you ask me, non-existence of God is the best revealed secret of modern time. We all know this. We live with this painful truth without arguing, without complaining!
Geeta says , “ना सतो विद्यते भावो, नाभावो विद्यते सत: “, meaning essentially that whatever exists needs no proof (its abundance, obviousness is its proof). With these words, Geeta finally puts paid to any hope of resurrecting Him by humanity. He is finished, dead, gone for good.

Its heartwrenching, living in a world where there is no God. Where death is final and virtues and sins are merely words! As if its not bad enough, they come to us with their strong egos and poorly hid faith, claiming their superiority over us for having known that God does not exist! They say they are superior to us for they have renounced someone/something that never existed. And here we are-inferior because of our stubbornness in refusing to let Him go out of our life! We are weak because we would never brace ourselves to say, "Ok, so now we are strong and wise and we don’t need you and so we abandon you!"
Such vanity! Such selfishness! Such a crooked sense of victory and joy in the unmanly act of deserting, now that He is no longer useful!

I have strong issues with atheism and God is one of them.
