Atheism states that nothing exists but natural phenomena or what we may say as matter. This definition means that there are no forces, phenomena, or entities which exist outside of or apart from physical nature, or which transcend nature, or are “super” natural, nor can there be. Humankind is on its own.
One of the first questions Atheists are asked is, “If you don’t believe in God, there’s nothing to prevent you from committing crimes, is there? Without the fear of hell-fire and eternal damnation, you can do anything you like, can’t you?”
Well it’s a debate for many atheists and the religious but I won’t take this chance for bash the religion or just praise the atheism. Just will present my thoughts in a very unbiased tone.
Actually the reason for the evolution of religion was nothing else other than people needed a force which could keep them from being evil, or just keep the evil in them in control. So won’t say that to create this ultimate force was wrong, or the force doesn’t exist. It’s just that the force is not really there other than the minds of the people who believe in it.
The whole concept started up quite well and healthy but as everything deteriorates with time, with more and more people making it their professions, more and more people making it a taboo, more and more people making it a political issue has made religion compulsory for us to survive in this society. Come on tell me, where can we find a school forms, hospital forms, passport forms, license forms without religion to be mentioned. Even the most prestigious business school of our country requires religion as a mandatory field in their admission forms.
But did we really need to have a force to govern us and keep us from doing wrong. Can’t we just imbibe the goodness in our hearts and pass it on to the future generation. Just to stay in harmony and without the religion ruckus will be so nice and easy.
This should not surprise us when we consider that among the societies of our nearest primate cousins, the apes, social behavior is not chaotic, even if gorillas do lack the reading capabilities of the religious scriptures, the young chimpanzee does not need an oracle to tell it to honor its mother and to refrain from killing its brothers and sisters. Of course, family squabbles and even murder have been observed in ape societies, but such behaviors are exceptions, not the norm. So too it is in human societies, everywhere and at all times.
See just when I was writing this blog, I got to know that there was 2 bomb blasts in the city with over 150 people injured and 45 death causalities. And as always was found that religious activist groups are guilty over this. I feel so sorry for these people and will like to ask these religious and politically motivated cult clans that what did they get out of this. No idea how can they help there religion or whatever they call it “jihad” or something by splattering blood of innocent people. As it is said “These activists truly don’t belong to any religion, all they belong to is the category of highly inhumane”.
Thereby I guess this society has made me move to be an atheist, made me believe that this religion is now not giving us what we made it for. On the other hand it is merely making us to kill mankind and the god within us.
