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!!!!

Hi friend!
So, ultimately, you believe in God :D
I too agree with you, each and everyone of us has an role to play in His cosmic play...to make this world a better place, or, as you've said to bring God back to earth :-)
Your posts and poems(read a few) are thoughtful! Liked them!
Keep them coming :-)
Also, possible check out the poem in my link below...you may like it :-)

i perfectly agree with you Donna ...
we are all here to hold hands together and do whatever little or bog we can to make this place more worth living ....
however the trouble is coming together as a unit in love and anothers' good seems to be an uphill task for many ...
let me tell you from my experince, it surely is! most poeple dont entertain the idea of wroking towards others' good
After a perusal through the stuff you've written, I find myself a bit flustered. Your allusion to "something not tamable" or "predominant" is nothing but God. Because man hadn't understood God or religion in the holistic sense, he started making his own versions and inculcated them in his preachings. It is a well established fact almost all religious texts have undergone dramatic changes over the years, which has given birth to misinterpretations. As a result, violence and hatred for other communities has crept in. In a gist, God still remains to be believed in, but erroneously.
@sylvius
flustered??? well all i can say is dat its a difference of perception... what I call Humanity.. u might be calling GOD... But the tooth and nail of it is... PLEASE STOP THE BLOODY COMMUNAL RIOTS IN THE NAME OF GOD!!! cant we all just live in peace and harmony.. is it really difficult??? Im really sorry if ive hurt your sentiments smewer by not calling my beliefs as GOD... but in the end all that matters is that we believe in something substantial and worth....
@deeps
you got my vote when you say that people are selfish... but its also true that millions of DROPS make an ocean... cant we all just try for once to understand the essence of humanity.. so much so just one good deed a day!!!! well we all can TRY!! cant we??? its not difficlt to love...
