Is there a god?

Every time we plan to buy a pack of biscuits worth ten bucks, we look for the best brand. We choose the biscuit of our liking based on whether the manufacturer is trustworthy or not. I wouldn’t buy my biscuits based on recommendations of celebrity brand ambassadors. The same is the case when we buy cars or houses. For that matter, we do not spend a pie without properly knowing what we are buying. But as believers, do we every try to verify the authenticity of gods? Do we at least try to see if a god is real or not? Not really. No one tries to verify anything related to gods.

What is God? No one really knows. Where is god? No one really knows. Has anyone seen a god? No, no one in their normal senses has seen a god. Yet everyone believes in gods. Some believe in a unitary god, some in multiple gods. But irrespective of the type of belief, everyone blindly believes in some kind of god/gods.

The only proven way to verify the existence of a god is ‘spiritual’. I mean, the use of some pure spirit of sorts. Intoxication is a known resource that induces apparitions, messages, bliss, and nirvana. It is one kind of hallucination. Once in a state of trance induced by some sort of spirit, people will be able to experience, communicate and interact with the supernatural. Others do not EVER ‘experience’ god, but believe ‘blindly’ in that entity.

In my opinion, human beings postulated the concept of god because they were cowards and were afraid of taking responsibility of their lives. By ascribing the copyright of the world’s design to some unknown entity, humans conveniently transferred the responsibility for their own lives to a god. How funny is that! What is funnier is that even after so much cultural, scientific and philosophic advancement, humans continue to believe in this fictional character to be the almighty. I believe, the fault lies in our genes. Other animals don’t have this problem. Their genes are programmed to perform in certain ways where there is no scope for cartoon characters. From birth to death, they fulfil their functions and take full responsibility of their lives. They live beautiful lives. No fights, no wars, no jealousy and no sadness or madness. On the other hand, humans who believe in a supreme being fight wars just for the sake of their ego, and wallow in an ocean of their own tears.

What can we say? A world without gods would have been better? A world without gods would be more human? Whatever we say, the fact remains: that human believers are cowards. So, wake up. Take responsibility of your own lives. Be yourselves. Be human.
