from the time i started thinking on my own rather than following commands pointlessly, i never felt the need for a hypothesis called god. all i wish for is that the many random(maybe pseudo :-s) variables that affect me give me the output i want, which everyone calls luck. nothing so far in my life countered logic except maybe the fact that so many people are willing to blindly follow the huge mythical overlay without reasoning. some dictionaries define me as agnostic. its just that i dont care about this whole god thing because my life runs the same either ways.

ps:i’m not able to post this comment in my Firefox 2 and Chrome, it says invalid email though my email is correct, so i guess hav to use a dummy id

this is almost exactly (oxymoron) what i believe. God what manufactured by the weak to satisfy their hope for divine vengeance against the oppressor. Nothing more nothing less.

Cool Post after a long time ..
cool post dude .. this is wht a blog is meant for .. others plz .. take some note from this. Stop being a IIIT news reporter.

coming back to your post .. (dont mind if comment goes longer thn the post )

# the Childhood part was great .. even i used to pray for getting a rainy day ..
# i still believe u r son of god. for me ROOT is GOD. atleast in IIIT.
# for me Osho is still a preacher of Open Sex .. will read more abt him .. later
# its not always tht only good ppl suffer .. c i am happy
# all in all .. God and Evil may exist .. i have never seen them .. niether i can prove their presence. But a belief can do miracles for ppl .. confidence makes a lot of difference.
# but one things for sure .. all incidents happening are not based on some random function .. some thing or other manages .. otherwise what will you call Luck .. and now tell me tht Luck is all bullshit .
# i guess the P.S is meant for A R & company

U r my GOD
Take it this way ….. $title
U remember the day when I said that My life wud be different from that moment….u can never understand that, noone can….its not that U cant but smthings are to be felt …… can U sit alone on a Sunday evening in a place where the setting Sun is throwing rays thru a slit …..it all comes down to wat a person is … may be u can live without God but take smone like me who used to cry at every stupid thing when I was a child and start talking to God and urging him to take me out of this shit and I wont repeat nething like that…….
He helps …… we cant make out…..jaanu believes a lot in God….her faith makes me do that…dont know Y …. My mom is still trying to send me to temples there are a lot on the bank of a river in my city…. but Y doesnt it give me a feeling that I shud ….. I mean I do go there and believe me I m not saying I dont believe in him but I cant say mom that God is with me all the time …. doesnt sound gud to them …same thing very religious background grandpa have temples in villages… :O .

Ofcourse the Bottom line I believe in is
“Be Good”
thats wat helps…and abt the gud people suffering …..my book will give u smthing abt it…..

Well gals are more far more matured ….. equation was rite.. boys = gals -3 years

ok C ya bbye

a different god
Sunil when you say you dont believe in God,I think you mean you do not believe in the God as others do.God has different meanings for different people.I am not talking about the hindu-muslim-christian thing here.

God need not be an unknown unseen unfelt effect.It can be anyone,the paan shop walah,your teacher and so on so forth...

Ramakrishna paramhansa worshipped his wife...strange isnt it? but to him she was God...through her he realized other Gods

God can be what you want him to be..that is why he is God...

I find rituals and ceremonies boring but my mom has an innate fascination for them..I have found that trying to explain to her things like science, logic etc are pointless..I just go through the steps as my mom tells me...

To me God dosent mean a temple and an idol,it means someone/anyone who is willing to counter odds and fight for what is right(what is right is in itself a loaded question)

If you ever get really really depressed...so depressed that you begin to think about ending the pain of life...AND you decide that no..there is some purpose to life...then right at the bottom of the pit you will realize who is your God

I think God is akin to a distributed system,a central request processing server(more on this later),several GUI for client interaction(different relegions),a backend database for maintaining logs of right and wrong(karma and dharma) and a mixture of several technologies including RPC for remote invocation,xml for meta data and COM/Corba,maybe even soap ...

we went to a mosque recently right? I prayed there...but my client was not registered with that GUI(since I am not a muslim),however the GUI does not reject my login,it instead transfers it to the central processing server,which is a kind of master server...this goes through the logs finds out which GUI(relegion) I can login to...and forwards my request to it...
Depending on the request,it is bounced around until it finds a server(God?) capable of processing it..and is put in the wait q....

The best part of this? Anonymous(atheists/non believers) logins are also permitted

A strange God? yes but he is My God

Re:
Good post.. I agree with what Jayaram says… temples are just stress-reducing machines and idols just help in concentration.. God may or may not exist, but you certainly benefit if you believe in God. It gives you increased confidence and even in the most picklish of situations you know that you have someone to turn to.

I went through this phase of atheism too, but now this is what I think.
