And he only exists in your mind.
Hi Robert,
You are an atheist, and Vol believe in God. In your dimension of existence there is no God, in his God is on the first place. So, you can't change eachother.
Please stop before this
Athiest's vs Believers
“Atheists “Versus “Believers”
" Atheists " are more spiritual than "Believers" .Atheists carefully think about the various spiritual questions :Where we would go after death? Where were we before birth? What is the purpose of our existence ?what is the purpose of the universe'existance?Is their a reason behind existence?. The "atheists”, mull over these questions and in the end when they find no proof of a higher power they decide not to believe in it."Believers" on the other hand do not think as deeply about these questions and just go ahead and believe in the concept of god simply because everyone is doing the same ,in short they blindly follow tradition ."Atheists" questioning attitude and close analysis of spiritual questions makes them more spiritual than "believers"
Their is a reason as to why I have written both these terms under inverted commas, the reason is that I do not believe that anyone can be a believer or an atheist. One may pray once or twice ,thrice or many times, one may do this day after day ,but their comes a time when he asks himself whether all this praying is serving any purpose or is he only wasting his time ,he does questions the concept of god and whether such a power actually exits or not .Human mind is prone
to doubt only that some people doubt more than the others , Without actually experiencing something through ones senses belief is not possible.
Similarly, being an Atheist too is not possible, man's strongest instinct is fear, his fear of the unknown ,various uncertainties in life means that he would never be able to rule out the possibility of existence of an intelligent higher power .Greed is yet another powerful emotion among humans ,
he is never satisfied and he wants more for the sake of his greed he is ready to bow down in front of even an entity about who's existence he himself is not fully convinced(god).
Another reason as to why belief in non existence can never be that strong ,is necessity ,reality is nothing but a mental construct(please read about Romantics,Nietzche,Hiediger,and the post modernists) ,reality is constructed by a person according to his necessity and his level of knowledge. Their r some stages in life when incentive and need to believe is very high ,for example an old man ,he knows that he is going to die, the idea that everything is going to end after death(the atheist idea) is a very uncomfortable one here one needs hope so incentive to believe in an afterlife ,god etc is very high.
The question arises that are Atheists really rational? Believers are irrational because they believe in a concept(god) without any evidence of its existence ,atheists in fact are just as irrational as they declare something to be non existent simply because of the fact that they cannot find evidence .If something is hidden from us ,can it be taken as non existent ?.
Believers are intellectually lazy because whatever they can t explain they ascribe to God and stop looking for answers ,Atheists too are intellectually just as lazy because when they can’t find an explanation they jump to the conclusion that God does not exist ,and stop thinking further . Though the atheists like to trumpet themselves as thinkers Atheists are just as unthinking and unquestioning about their “ unbelief “ as the believers are of their “ belief”. U r no thinker if u don’t question your beliefs.
Believers think themselves as morally superior than others ,in that sense believers are chauvinists ,Atheists on the other hand are arrogant as they consider the believers (overwhelming majority of the world population) to be bunch of fools and regard themselves as rational thinkers ,as people with monopoly over rationality.
If a person has to make a choice between what s/he ought to be --- Atheist or believer ,it is infact no choice at all one is just as bad as another . So it is best to suspend judgment ,perhaps “Agnosticism” can be another option ,or “scientology” but these two are no option at all.
