Can you ignore the power of God?



When you do  the wrong things or engage yourself in evil deeds,  you try to cover up the same with a hope not to be exposed. Once you ascertain the situation and feel confident that no one is able to catch, you get relaxed. You become somewhat addicted to performing many wrongdoings. Gradually, a time will come that you will always give preference for wrong against right. It becomes your habit. But one thing you will never understand that you can be spared by everybody, but not by God. You  cannot  sneak away from Him. He is watching you all the time, whether you know or not. But these types of people do not believe in the power of God. They disown the theory of God’s illuminating power. They don’t accept that if you pray to God wholeheartedly, He will assuage you.  As per them, the traditional notion of God is simply theoretical. They say that human beings can create their own destinies by their  own power of work, diligence, intelligence and deceiving others. They think that if they perform wrongly, God cannot do anything. Our societies term these people as atheists.

Most of us, of course, are believers of the existence of God. They may not openly accept, but they always take His shelter before performing any important work.  A logical debate always crops up that one can accept  the power of God, but  for that matter, he need not to be religious or a believer of any religion in toto. One can accept the nitty-gritty of his religion and can focus on the creeds of the same and remembering God in all his endeavors. The atheists argue that some of the great people of the world did not believe in God. In support of their statement, they say that very many heinous crimes and some of the worst deeds are committed taking the shelter of God. The iota of the truth is that people do all  evil deeds in churches, temples, pilgrims and holy places.  These non-believers of God argue with logic that how can we continue to accept  God as our trouble shooter when there is no scientific proven theory of  His existence.  They say as the child grows, he leaves his childish clothes and so, why can’t we leave our psychological, emotional and mental dependence on God?  They say that the concept of worshipping God by performing Pujas, taking His blessings and remembering Him in distress and happiness is all creations of our ancestors. 

Just to make the people frighten and not to deviate from the path of moral living, this type of mythological and psychological dependence was created.  For example, if there is a heavy rain with thundering and lightning, the elders in the family start praying to save everybody from the disaster. And after a passage of time, when the calamity stops, the believers get elated that God has stopped the disaster. Those who worshipped a particular God or religion, formed a group and the members of the same group would help each other to engage in conflicts with other groups of different religions just to get the major share of various resources starting from food to shelters including clothes.  As per the Indian history, where the religion and casteism is very much predominant, the  nepotism, favoring  and forming groups with the relatives, friends and close associates will be always there.  This religious bonding is always encased in the name of God  to take the advantage. The atheists make a protest to this behavior. Though their numbers are less, but whenever they get a chance, they express negative feelings of Godhood in their forum.
Now-a-days, it is quite common that one religious  group and its sub-groups are cleverly getting engaged with other religious groups and sub-groups  in quarrels, fights and sometimes killing the people making the existence of God  maligned.  The stronger religion has a larger follower  and act their power on the weaker religions. These weaker  groups are less in numbers and the oppressed one.

Fanaticism, blindly supporting, unquestionable dogma and unflagging faith have become the benchmark of any religion. People become fanatic and depend on a religion and if someone passes some odd comments, the situation turns into hatred, fighting and sometimes creating violence. If you study all the religion’s main creeds and read the preaching of the noted spiritual masters like Buddha, Mohammad, Mahavira and Jesus, you will not find any differences.  These masters always see oneness amongst various religions.  Some of their mean minded disciples and followers only created differences and subverted their teachings to bring division and quarrel. Almost all the differences, fighting, less friendship is because of wrongly construed of various religions and its tenets. The fundamental crises between the Hindu and the Muslim and the rise of IS and the killing of various rationalists in India and neighboring countries by the Hindu and the blasphemies are because of misunderstanding of the religion and religious books.  No religion, ever teaches to kill each other. On the contrary, they teach to remain together and to show respect for all religions.  In fact, religion must be a central focus for human beings evolved. Instead of that, it now acts as a threat because of these fanatics and their over enthusiasm. 

So today a religion, which is otherwise a sacred thing, gives rise to a threat to the civilization. It is not centered on the humanity, but is focused on the fanciful of some obtrusive religious leaders who drastically misinterpret the religious outlook.. Under the shelter of religion, they carry out their evil deeds, kill the humanity, destroy the civilization and increase the rampant nepotism. Ultimately, these religious miscreants spread their wrong activities in the light of religious cum political improvisation and become a hero for their followers. Many environmental and social scientists vehemently objected these types of activities and term this as a violation of a moral code of conduct and ethical living.  That is why; some people are completely averse to accept God and His presence.  They feel that in the name of God, when people can carry out all wrong doings, what is the need to accept Him and seek His blessings?  Under this logic, they don’t believe in the power of God and His presence. Do you accept this philosophy?
