Why more and more people are becoming atheists
To a good extent, the following meme highlights one of the reasons why more and more people are becoming atheists.
Though the person who may have conceived this meme may be an atheist — it is not necessary that he may think that God does not exist.
What is true about the person who may have made the above meme is equally true about the person who has prepared a list of some errors in Hindu scriptures on wordpress.com in his post titled “List of Errors in Hindu Scriptures” vide https://wp.me/p6U1aw-Kl.
Though there are some anomalies in the observations made by him; by and large — he is not wrong about some of the observations made by him.
The same is true about the person who may have made the following cartoon.
Though to think that some snake may have frightened Eve to eat some apple so that she could cling to Adam is preposterous, I will explain why it is wrong to doubt whether God exists or not even though it is true that Eve should have not clung to Adam after eating that apple.
The reason why some people doubt whether God exists or not, crops from the fact that though the Bible tells us that all of us are offspring of Adam and Eve — it does not tell whose offspring were Adam and Eve!
The other reason why most of the people who doubt whether God exists or not — doubt simply because we can’t see Him.
The fact is — if we can’t see something, it does not imply that it does not exist.
Is it not true that the eyes of anybody who may look at the Sun during a solar eclipse with naked eyes — are likely to get damaged?
If we believe what was speculated by Indians during the Vedic period — God is much more luminous than the Sun.
If even the luminosity of the Sun may damage the eyes of somebody, just imagine — would the eyes of anyone who may look at God, not get damaged?
It is quite possible that HE may have made HIMSELF invisible only due to this reason.
What is true about our inability to see Him; is also true about our inability to converse with Him.
Though it is preposterous to think that He may have four or eight arms as most of the Hindu deities have — it is also preposterous to believe that somebody may have been able to converse with Him.
The people who believe that somebody may have conversed with Him do not seem to bear in mind “How small is the Earth as compared to the entire universe”.
There are lots of people who have claimed to have conversed with HIM at some time or another in their mother tongue.
We should not mind if some people question that it could have been possible only if God should have been able to not only understand their mother tongue — it should have been possible for HIM to even talk with them in their mother tongue which is quite unlikely.
To think that somebody living on the Earth could have conversed with God in Sanskrit, English, Arabic or some other language spoken on the Earth is as preposterous as to think that HE may have created only the Earth — not the entire universe.
It should have been possible to converse with HIM in a language spoken on the Earth only if HE would have created only the Earth — not the entire universe.
Besides it, it could have been possible to converse with HIM only if the Earth had not been so small compared to the universe, as shown in the following picture.
SO WE SHOULD AGREE THAT THOUGH GOD MAY EXIST, ANYONE CAN’T SEE HIM NOR IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONVERSE WITH HIM IN ANY LANGUAGE SPOKEN ON THE EARTH.
Of course, though it explains why we can’t see HIM and why we can’t converse with HIM — it does not explain whether HE exists or not.
WELL, IN THE SAME WAY AS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY WE CAN’T SEE HIM AND WHY WE CAN’T CONVERSE WITH HIM, I CAN ALSO EXPLAIN — WHY WE SHOULD NOT DOUBT WHETHER HE EXISTS OR NOT.
I am going to explain why we should not doubt whether HE exists or not in my next post under the title “Some Undisputable Proofs of the Existence of God” on medium.com itself, within a day or two.
In the meantime, if you like — you may read my book “Existence of God” which was published by Partridge India in the year 2016 and is available on Compatible NOOK devices and the free NOOK apps.
The following review of the book forwarded by Page Turner Press and Media may inspire you to read the book.
“The author weaves words together like a fine thread, formulating ideas, and relating scenes or images together exceptionally. The voice is pronounced and consistent, which is vital in any celebrated literary piece. These are the qualities that set the author apart from all other writers.”
Though a book should not be judged by its cover, it may not be so in the case of my book.
So I am exhibiting the cover of this book below.
