When i was a kid (or when i was in Nepal), i used to believe in God. I did however have reservations on religion but i still believed in God. Its been a year in US now and having met people from other cultures, the existence of a supreme being doesnt make sense anymore. 

I think that believeing in GOd instills in a person faith, confidence and positivity to get through good times and be appreciative of the bad ones. I want my children to have these qualities so i dont want to tell them that GOd doesnt exist. Moreover, i cant imagine what my parents/relatives will make of me when i talk to them about this. It isnt going to be pretty. 

It does give me great discomfort to think about all this. I must admit i feel less confident and more pessimistic these days. I want to believe in God but my logic doesnt give in anymore. In fact, i get irritated when i hear things like "God COMMANDED you to.." "GOd will PUNISH you if..", "We are SERVANTS in from of Him" "(on Christianity): "Jesus died on the cross for you"(THere are many who have made a similar magnitude of sacrifice). 

I think that God and religion are ancient theories that havent been discarded yet. And it hasnt due to the fear in people of what might happen if they didnt. One of my teachers once said "if there is no god and you believe in god, there is no harm but if there is god and you dont believe in god, there is harm". i feel this and cultural and social stigmas lead people to be religious and not question their beliefs. 

I wanna know what you guys make of this.

Chaurey you are right. Budmash needs to stick to the topic here. Perhaps he's reading my other threads to find an evidence where I changed my stance somewhere.

Well, if and when he finds something to validate his unwarranted and false statement, he should open a new thread and we can discuss about my changing stances and philosophies there. 

ki kaso?

Along with Prachanda, it seems that Rethink has other disciples also. Chaurey being one of his chamchas. The guru is looking for backup to Chaurey. And considering that Chaurey doesn't have a philosophy of his own, he is ready to bark from one tree to another tree.

I am on topic. The topic is God and religion. Rethink's god is a dice. And the poor guy can't decide on which face of the dice to worship because the decision is too random for him. Becharra. The poor guy couldn't figure out the face of a dice if it stared at him right in the face.

But that's ok, I am enjoying his comments. What else can you expect from someone whose philosophy comes out as randomly as diarrhea does?

I'm looking forward to more of his verbal diarrhea in his posts to come. LOL. Random outbursts of verbal meaningless diarrhea. LOL.

Budmash

I can't expect any proofs for your statements or beliefs. Feel free to say anything you like and laugh your ass off coz I see you are good at that.

Just like your blind belief in god, you probably believe that I made statements where I have changed my stances. 

LOLs on you partner.

As far as backups go, I am steadfast in my belief on reality so I don't need any backup. Whereas you have a big backup of God so consider yourself a blessed moron 

On a serious note, if you want to inflate your ego by arguing with me with non-sensible accusation, start a new thread and leave this discussion for relevant responses.

ouch! someone took it to the heart real bad..LMAO! oh so sorry little idol worshiper! i hope your god shows you how to not drift away from the topic next time...HAAA

Jaisa Guru, waisa chela; dono narak mein thelam thela”

Haha desperate times calls for desperate measures.

Picking out Nepali Ukhaan to persuade the crowd is a tactic used by your Maoist gurus.

Unfortunately in my world of reality, there is no need for Guru and Chela, it's all about understanding and acknowledgement of the truth.

By the way, now that you have shown that you cannot support your own statements and accusations, let me tell you that there is a huge difference between understanding what 'randomness' is and making 'random' statements.

It's okay to be uncertain and ignorant about the world around you. I won't hold that against you. The most honorable thing for you to do is stop this nonsense, and gather any pride you have left and stop saying things you can't comprehend.

evidently he thinks he holds the keys to "narak" and decides who should go there...as judging by his dumb Hindi remark. so now tell me where is this place called "narak" can you provide an example of someone who has been there and come back? 

Jaisa Guru, waisa chela; dono narak mein thelam thela!

@homeyji: You said you are a fool. Yes you are a fool for believing that you could discuss philosophy or spirituality with idiots like these two. Your problem is that you have no discrimination amongst people. Not everybody can handle this subject matter, you moron. Why would you ever discuss such a sensitive subject in an open forum with no rules?

You are a jackass for being so naive!

 "Why would you ever discuss such a sensitive subject in an open forum with no rules?"

Yep. Freedom of thoughts and expression must be a foreign concept for you two religious fanatics/fundamendalists. You need to find a Closed Forum with the rule of saying "yes my lord" to anything being written by any jackass. 

Homeyji doesn't even realize how he's being played for a fool. This is a game without a referee. Anyone can play foul and no one there is to call it out. LOL. And Homeyji is trying to play by the rules when the other players are fouling. What a joke?

Freedom to foul at will, push other players at will. Freedom to make fun of the referee with no 'red card' or 'yellow card' in the game? LOL. What do you expect? The jungle with wild animals has more rules than this thread does. At least the animals are ruled by their instincts based on their species. These two morons are worse than wild animals.

And stupid Homeyji is trying to discuss philosophy and spirituality in such a forum? You're dumber than I thought, moron.

there you go...there comes the true color.

LOL@ Homeyji, why did it take you so long to realize that all these idiots were doing were making fun of you and that they don't take this topic seroiusly at all? For them it was just entertainment. And you were sitting there talking all this logic and reasoning. LOL. I had figured out the game these two were playing a long time ago. If you look at all their useless comments in previous threads, it doesn't take a lot of imagination to see what their real lives outside of sajha must look like.

LOL. And you were discussing philosophy and spirituality with these two? I'm dying laughing here, Homeyji. If you look at most topics on sajha in general, you should have known that most of the people who come to this site can't handle a serious topic like this. Wake up and smell the flowers, my friend. Go to some other site where there are serious intellectuals!

Jackass!

Rest in peace Budmash.

@homey, I mean it's obvious that you're a pretty smart guy. What I don't understand is why it is that you didn't see that these two don't respect anything other than their opinion that changes by the minute? Why didn't you see what I saw: that these two have no values or principles? Were you blind, idiot?
Why didn't you call their verbal diarrea for what it is? Why did you tolerate so much for so long from these two?

I have no respect for people like you who don't stand up for themselves and don't fight back!

Homey, I'm talking to you. Where are you, you coward?

it's spelt "diarrhea"

@homey, don't you get it? This was a rigged gambling match. These two came with nothing and will leave with nothing. But you had everything to lose. Why did you play in such a game? Do you have a gambling problem?

scream out at user "bittertruth" ...if you have any balls

@homey: See? Most of the conversation on this thread, goes right over the head of these morons. Homey, someone like you can't talk down at the level that these fools function. I feel sorry for you that you didn't understand that through all the posts that you made. You were casting pearl before swine.

Why waste your valuable words on fools of this caliber? I'm sure it's pretty clear to you by now what they really want and what motivates these idiots.
