It's a big dealA new question has cropped up. Is it due to vanity that I do not believe in the existence of an omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient God? I had never imagined that I would ever have to confront such a question, wrote Bhagat Singh (The freedom fighter)
And when read Bhagat Singh’s essay titled: Why I Am An Atheist? I questioned my own faith in God like an ardent believer and often resort to God with the hope that, she (God can be a woman as well) would wash my sins off, if I’ve sinned* at all. And who do God entertain? Like I wondered as a kid how are those marwaris so rich after conning people in the name of Goddess Laxmi. I saw them coming to temple everyday. When I scored less in school, I asked God why even after praying am scoring low, and those people are growing richer:) Aries kids are stupid anyways, I heard Hanuman was an aries too, and wanted to eat the Sun as a kid:)
Then, they kill in the name of God too. Gujarat of 2002 remained the greatest example of it. Why let humanity kneel in fear? Why let the whole universe tremble?
But who decides the wrongs and rights? Let me answer Bhagat Singh that I found an omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient God inside me. Vanity has nothing to do with this, conscience has! That decides everything, and answers us too.
Bhagat Singh later explained: 'Belief' softens the hardships, even can make them pleasant. In God man can find very strong consolation and support. Without Him, the man has to depend upon himself. To stand upon one's own legs amid storms and hurricanes is not a child's play. At such testing moments, vanity, if any, evaporates, and man cannot dare to defy the general beliefs, if he does, then we must conclude that he has got certain other strength than mere vanity.
Can we chain humans in the name of God? Some say God is Love apparently? Why do we hurt them then? Or expect so much because we thought we love them. I only felt let Humanity be the other name of God or Love or whatever.

Just loved these lines: मस्जिदें हैं नामाजियों के लिए अपने घर में कहीं खुदा रखना... Masjiden hain namaaziyon ke liye apne ghar mein kahin khuda rakhnaa
*Sinned: Sir Charles Napier, upon taking the province of Sindh said “I have sinned.” But he only meant, now I have sindh:)
