CONCLUSION - God does not exists
The other day I saw a puppy getting crushed under the wheels of a car and that was a painful sight. The puppy did not die immediately as the wheels had crushed the lower half of the poor animal and it was yelping with pain and the onlookers could do nothing but watch. The poor animal's eyes were pleading and the yelping kept on going... Till, the puppy died.
There were so many of us and yet we were helpless. There's this other incident that shook me really bad. This happened right in front of a prestigious school in my neighborhood. Three young girls were being escorted by their auto rickshaw driver and while crossing the road a speeding van hit them and crushed one of the girls beyond recognition. There are many more incidents like these which involves the adults death, but incidents like these really makes me think if the two, the puppy and the girl were candidates BAD enough for GOD to take them away in that violent manner? Or should I take solace from the fact that there's no such thing as God or else why would this happen?
If GOD exists, does he write the books of life and death of each individual living being? Or did he create FATE and let each one of them be lead by that fate? What was the purpose of those deaths happening right in front of me, if there was a purpose set by God eh? Why and How could I be a witness to these incidents and still believe in GOD?
Now many may come up with explanations which would center around fate, karma and all that similar jazz, but what is the purpose of a life being taken away in that horrible manner? The bitch had five puppies and is she supposed to thank God that he had spared 4 of them? What about the parents of the young girl? Are they too supposed to take comfort from that fact that it's only one of the two kids they have has been taken away in that gory manner and oh! Yes maybe pray to God to keep her soul and also thank him for sparing the other.
There are so many people on the net who express their sorrow in loosing their dear ones in accidents like these. There are also so many poems by lovers who have lost their lovers and express their sorrow in this medium. Do you think they would have poured their heart out in their prayers with God first then come on to the public to express their sorrow? If yes, then why come on to the public forum at all? Fishy? Fishing? Well because God let this horrible thing happen and it's God we would pray for comfort after your loved one is taken away?
This is not similar to the way explanations are given on Lions being carnivorous. They say it is so to keep the balance. That I agree but does it mean that the lives taken away in that horrible manner and that too of innocent young beings can be because of the equilibrium is to be maintained? Why give them that painful and violent death? Apparently the car or van drivers were not donning the roles of carnivorous animals... then?
Then it is FATE?
The following are the comments which I have received from members of a different blog site with my counter comments:
Comment 1
It's true, nobody can see God dear Linus, but do you need more proof about his existence?...only look around, see yourself...all of us are the best proof of a divine miracle of life, made for HIM!
My comment
HIM? Oh now IT”S got a gender now. I never said I would believe in God’s existence ONLY if I see him physically…
Thanks for your comments
Comment 2
well..God is a belief. Those who have the utmost belief in God, create religion. God is like talisman for those who think of god only on hard or tough times. Human beings need something to hold on..or to cling to during tough times. It's as basic as that. Until science proves 'God is a myth', nothing wrong in having belief in God.what say..
My comment
Humans created religions because they believed in God?
Science is not trying to prove God is a myth… it’s only trying to remove the “blind” from faith in order to arrive at a logical conclusion. Many thanks for the comment, you comments sometimes make me feel as if the cat’s got my tongue ;-)
Comment 3
Linus u stirred up my mind. I was just surprised by u'r comment on my post. Really we people have turned so selfish. We thank God because we were safe but what about the others who were less fortunate. Sometimes i also feel suspicious over his existence then my faith in him come emerging strong by these small small incidents of life. I do not beleive in religion nor i am mad following rituals. But to be a part of the society to bind our kids to humanity they must be binded with some sorts of rules so we follow religion. But some Minac people have finded the religion as the path to earn their bread. And regarding GOD i must say there is someone who has created all of us. Because who has created all of us also know how to run his world.
My comment
Something or Someone created us, ok fair enough but that someone knows how to run his world? HIS WORLD? Anyway I think it’s a shoddy job he’s doing if he exists. Thanks for the comment
Comment 4
Interesting question. The answer about existance of GOD is YES and NO. GOD is a concept. If you belive then yes and no otherwise. e.g. Electicity, Oxygen and wind movement cannot be seen by eyes but it still exisits. A visible Currancy note like a hundred rupee note is currancy for some having purchasing power OR simply a piece of printed paper/rectangular piece of paper for an ignorant person. It all depends on individual belief and level of understanding.
My comment
Who ever questioned the physical aspects???? I never said if I see IT I will believe… The point was even if the high and mighty exists… what is he doing to his own creation? As for the “ignorant” part…I think it’s not my ignorance that has led me to ask this question, it’s quite otherwise… and it’s a pity that one who cannot answer a question can blame it on ignorance. Thanks for your comments
Comment 5
I forgive you for your ignorance. Probabily someone has told you that GOD has 'so many hands, legs, eyes, and so on..resides at a particular address and the job-profile etc.AND YOU ARE ASKING FOR THE PROOF. So far as proof is concerned ,let me tell you that you should ask the same only after understanding (The subject of God')what are you asking about. Can you give me any proof of your 'great great great grand father's Existance ?' God is omnipresent; and you thought how can that be possible? It's too deep a thought and too vast a subject to carry on. I conclude by saying that your doubt about God is a great quality of yours and indeed the first step towards spirituality. Even I'm not qualified to discuss about your doubt.
My comment
Ignorance??? Ha ha ha…. What’s with this God having multiple limbs etc… that’s funny… about my great great great great grand father, each of those fathers have told their sons and in turn those sons have raised their sons and I am part of it… and how can I question that existence? My father told me about his father and so on…. You have problems with your family tree or something???? Thanks for your comments
Comment 6
Linus, i can only say that u are attributing ur(human) limitations to god. That's all. Pain and pleasure are the two sides of life. When the latter comes we accept it with glee and when the former comes we accuse god. Both are wrong. Equanimity towards life's troubles is necessary because no loss is real. No death ever occurs. Only the body dies and we weep. the soul doesn't. don't ask me how! for u when the body dies mebbe that is the end. Then don't pray for the dead or remember them or ask for their souls to rest in peace. If people keep on living what will happen to the world. Everyone's time comes to an end. It was man who invented the locomotive. Before that death never occured due to accident.so curse the man who invented the locomotive and caused others to use it and that led to accidents. What can god do? He made Eden Garden, it was Eve who ate the forbidden apple...what can god do?
My comment
I never have prayed for the dead.. who would I pray to? Only the body dies and we weep? Who cares about the soul? even that is never experienced... It's not about the balance between the living and the dying, it's the question on the way they die... Man invented the killer machine? The locomative? and what was god doing? busy being a bad supervisor? eve eating the apple is just because the so called God created temptation too... why would he do it? Doesn't it sound sadistic to lay a trap and watch? as for accidents... don't tell me people were not dying by drowning or other such things... Thanks for your comments, was wondering what was taking you so much time...
Comment 7
What ever is made/born/created is destined to die, that’s the circle of life. Now to attribute this to God’s desire or call it an accident is all up to once belief. To lessen our pains and for solace we relate loses to god’s wish. To deliberately kill a being is definitely a cruelty. A hungry cat pondering upon a frail pigeon, if cat does not eat the pigeon it will die. What can be done in such a situation? should a pigeon be saved and let the cat die or vice versa.
My comment
I was very clear in my blog on the cat family and balance between the living and the dead... the gory end at the hands of a predator was never the question. Thanks for your comments.
There are many more comments that I have received which I am unable to publish them here considering the size of this blog.
