Why I am an Atheist-By Bhagat Singh

A 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. But conversation with some friends has given me, a hint that certain of my friends, if I am not claiming too much in thinking them to be so-are inclined to conclude from the brief contact they have had with me, that it was too much on my part to deny the existence of God and that there was a certain amount of vanity that actuated my disbelief. Well, the problem is a serious one. I do not boast to be quite above these human traits. I am a man and nothing more. None can claim to be more. I also have this weakness in me. Vanity does form a part of my nature. Amongst my comrades I was called an autocrat. Even my friend Mr. B.K. Dutt sometimes called me so. On certain occasions I was decried as a despot. Some friends do complain and very seriously too that I involuntarily thrust my opinions upon others and get my proposals accepted. That this is true up to a certain extent, I do not deny. This may amount to egotism. There is vanity in me in as much as our cult as opposed to other popular creeds is concerned. But that is not personal. It may be, it is only legitimate pride in our cult and does not amount to vanity. Vanity or to be more precise "Ahankar" is the excess of undue pride in one's self. Whether it is such an undue pride that has led me to atheism or whether it is after very careful study of the subject and after much consideration that I have come to disbelieve in God, is a question that I, intend to discuss here. Let me first make it clear that egotism and vanity are two different things.

How to Stop Terrorists....

Once in U.S. history an episode of Islamic terrorism was very quickly stopped. It happened in the Philippines about 1911, when Gen. John J. Pershing was in command of the garrison. There had been numerous Islamic terrorist attacks, so "Black Jack" told his boys to catch the perps and teach them a lesson.
Forced to dig their own graves, the terrorists were all tied to posts, execution style. The U.S. soldiers then brought in pigs and slaughtered them, rubbing their bullets in the blood and fat. Thus, the terrorists were terrorized; they saw that they would be contaminated with hogs' blood. This would mean that they could not enter Heaven, even if they died as terrorist martyrs.
All but one was shot, their bodies dumped into the grave, and the hog guts dumped atop the bodies. The lone survivor was allowed to escape back to the terrorist camp and tell his brethren what happened to the others. This brought a stop to terrorism in the Philippines for the next 50 years.
Pointing a gun into the face of Islamic terrorists won't make them flinch.
They welcome the chance to die for Allah. Like Gen. Pershing, we must show them that they won't get to Muslim heaven (which they believe has an endless supply of virgins) but instead will die with the hated pigs of the devil.

God's Love..

God loves us.

Well Sir,a brain surgeon will tell you that a specific part of the brain controls love that we experience.So, isn’t it arrogant to think that the love generated by our little brains is the same thing that an omnipotent being experiences? If you were omnipotent, why would you limit yourself to something that could be reproduced by a little clump of neurons.

"We must feel something similiar to God's love."

Its like saying a pebble is similiar to the sun because both are round.

God feels love,hate,want,anger,forgiveness.So God has feeling like people.

What sort of arrogance believes that God is like people.??

Free Will..

People believe in God.People believe that god is omnipotent.People believe God has given us many traits,one being free will.

Free will....yes that's interesting.God is omnipotent.Means he knows the future.Means all our choices are already made aren't they? So free will must be illusion.No wait,theists will argue,God lets us determine our own future by our free will.So God does not know the future?Again,theists argue that God must have some kind of benefit in mind when He gave us free will.What kind of benefit?God thinking of benefit? Boy,thats absurd.

Free will is nothing in the view of current Gods.This has to change.

The last posts in journal were from another website so don't worry too much....

Woke up at 8 in the morning.....and the hunger was killing me...took about 8 slices of bread, 200 gms of butter,a nice hot cup of tea and a mango drink to end it.No college today since end sem exams are going on and the day is usually spent studyin or fooling around.Not much to write today or for the next few days so don't think i'm in a coma if journal entries do not come up for a long time.

MUMBAAAAIIIIIII!!!!!

Something happened at Mumbai,something which failed to surprise me.The terror attacks,the killings,the shootings.Human life has become so cheap that for the point to get across a life has to be lost,some innocent bastard has to die,only for what?For an enigmatic idea which knows no limits of sanity,of being human.An idea which would have been justifiable if it wasn't put forward in a platter covered with the blood of people who knew nothing about it,who had nothing to do with it.The idea is of a free Muslim world,of a Muslim world where the rich culture of theirs thrives untouched by any foreign element which may stain the beautiful facade of it.

Ideas,Ideas,Ideas..............so many people in the world,so many ideas.Needless to say if all of those started bringing forward their ideas in the way these few Muslim groups have,the world would be dead by now.Dead in the sense of being human,of being truly righteous,of love.
Why would anyone commit such atrocities,such barbarism without a feeling of remorse,of guilt?
One answer-religion.It is the single most effective tool designed for making excellent killers.In the name of religion people are ready to lay down their lives,lives which have lost lustre,which have lost its spirituality,its state of being unique and is now only paralleled with just plain existing, living preordaned lifespans and then dying for a cause which has no meaning.
The human brain has a capability to think for itself,to find out and see what the truth is like,and blind faith was and always will be an extremely disrespectful,humiliating and undignifying gift to the creator of the human brain.
Killing some people to prove a point has never been the answer.I don't know the future(which appears bleak)but atleast for now please stop.Please.

The first post......

My first post on this blog which shall(hopefully) go on till I get bored....
