Do you still believe in God and/or religion?

I am not worried about whether god exists or not. What bugs me more is the human interpretation of what a god is. As a reasonable person, it is hard for me to accept the god as a savior, creator, provider and the destroyer of all the beings in this universe. The chaos, unfairness, evilness and the cruelty we the “god’s children” have, alone is a proof  that god is irrelevant on what goes on in this universe. Questions like if god created everything why would he create evil with it? And if he had power to change everything why are so many children, poors, and unfortunates are suffering and dying in this world? 

Some of you drew out an interesting point saying there were so many things that are unanswered such as when did it all start and how was this world created….this only means that his interpretation of god is his  unknowns. Just because there are few things that are beyond human comprehensions, it would be wrong to call everything beyond that a god’s act. According to that theory, for some, god may start just at 2+2 and for other it may start at Particle physics and for another it may start at String Theory.   

So my conclusion is either God does not exist or if he does exist he must be one helpless mofo just like us. One who is part of this nature and cannot change or control the nature. The important thing is to learn to live like a human being. In this modern age if you need a Bible or Geeta to tell you not to kill, not to steal, lie, hate, or anger…the basics of life ..i have nothing to say to you. I know those basics of life already and do not need to worship anyone to recite the same that is already a common sense for most people of this world. 

Some of you claim to call the peace you find with meditation a GOD…….would a pot smoker find the same god as you do when he is high in his coke? Some of you need god to REFUGE to when you are feeling down or scared.

Some of you have probably labeled me as an atheist already for what I have typed so far. But I do enjoy reading religious scripts and actively participate in or festivals. I enjoy reading those scripts as I believe they represent the human interpretation of what GOD was and the way of life meant back then.
