I have always believed in God!!! As a child, when left alone, I would pray for God to be with me. And I was never left unheard. Then for me, there was only one God… the Almighty. I had the least idea then that, as I will grow up, I will be forced to believe that different people have different gods. But what I dint understand was when God made us all alike with two hands, two legs, two eyes, two ears, one stomach, one brain, one heart, one nose…then why should we pray different Gods??? Nevertheless I kept my faith in Him and wished everyone did the same.
With increase in my maturity level, I got to interpret that the world was divided, as in literally segregated, on the basis of who prays who???? There were Priests, Sufis, Monks, Fathers, claiming to be the gods own messengers, forcing the world to carve up on the basis of their religion, caste, creed, faith. I could not understand that the so-called gods-messengers could actually create a rift amongst his very own people. And so my belief in god abridged.
The final blow came when a little look around me made it evident that God had left this place long ago and its now being ruled only by some hard hearted bozos who think of their religion and god to be the supreme. So much so that they are ready to kill the believers of other gods. Now I don’t believe in god nomore. Not after understanding that believing in him is the cause of the death of many. A little peep into the world of today is perfect enough to understand that Darwin’s theory of survival of the fittest is no more applicable. Its survival of the cruel, brutal, selfish….which is making rounds these days.
Now all I kinder in me is a wish that along with me there should be many who want to believe in something, something untamable by human mind and yet predominant in its existence. I believe in that thing, which the ever-inquisitive human mind can never conquer. No electronic machine, scientific equipments, religious rituals, holy sacraments can ever defeat in what I believe. Cause now I believe in the ultimate power of truth, love, trust, and faith, HUMANITY!!!!
