Standing with their hands folded & the closed eyes & the lips moving in a silent murmur.....a most common sight of devotees in temples. Thats what sets me thinking. Who are they prayin to??? To a non-existent god??? Well personally I dont glorify religious superstions; on the contrary, i'd like to make a pretty strong statemnt against it.
Since the beginning of time, spirituality & religion hav been called on to fill in the gaps that science didnot undersatnd. The rising & settng of sun was once attributed to the sun god & a flaming chariot. Earthquakes & tidal waves were a wrath of the 'gods'. Science has now proven them to be false idols.Since the beginning of history a deep rift has existed between science & religion. Outspoken scientists like Copernicus were murdered by the church for revealing scientific truths. Galileo who claimed that it is the sun which is the center of the universe & not the earth was kept under house arrest. It was difficult for the church to believe that how could god put sun in the centre of the universe when it was the earth which should be so dear to him!!???!! Religion has always persecuted science.
If religion continues to promote pious myths as absolute fact, scientific progress would halt & mankind would be doomed. All the holy books carry a similar requiremnt & same penalties. They claim that if I dont live by a specific code ill go to hell. I cant imagine a god who would rule that way!!! Since long woman have been treated as outcasts & considered as a source of object by these religions.The holy books are simply man-written scriptures.Frm a rational perspective this idolising of god is as absurd as any cult. If sumbdy like him/her(mother earth as they say) truely exists then why are we all living in hopeless misery?? Or should I fall for the words of a priest who says that the god is simply tryng to test our patience?? A testing time huh?? Thats a white lie! A lie to cover up all the other lies. But the truth remains that there is no god.Where is god?? Is he hiding behind the mountains?? Or has he built a wall so high that he cant jump over it?? Science takes time to bring out ideas. It tests and validates them. It doesn't attribute everything to fantasy and claim to have all the answers. The Origin of Life is a controversial affair, no doubt. But theories, proofs and explanations do exist that support the scientific version of it.
Richard dawkins's international bestseller "The god delusion" has argued that theres no evidence of god's existence. Agnostics argue that the whole religion buisness may be irrelevant but a 'god calld god' does exist. Gone are the days when a statemnt like that was simply swallowed & digested(with no indigestion problems apparently) lol....Now is the time when we question not only the existence of god but also of our own existence.Are we trying to imagine that god must have simply waved his magic wand & the earth got formed???Just answer one question...if you think the entire universe and everything in it is too complicated to have come up on its own then how did the super complicated God who created all this come into being ?
"My god is bettr thn ur god"....how many times hav we heard this statemnt before?? & wat exactly are the number of senseless holy wars that hav been fuelled by that sentence?? I demand an answer. An answer to an unanswerable question!!!
NOTE: The above views & statements are entirely my own & hence my intention is not to hurt anybody's religious sentiments.I can be an atheist or I can be sumone given to a pooja a day.Either way its nobodys buisness, unless as a public personality I use my piety for self promotion(as many politicians do) *winkz*

WHY OH WHY!??!?!?!?????
Why are you scared of being alone?
People here have hearts that’s already torn,
Why are you troubled to see the end?
Look around you will definitely find a friend.
Why do you need a hand to hold?
Try and face this world being bold.
Why do you strive to be the best?
Just be yourself, just as the rest.
Why do you need a shoulder to cry?
Accept that this world is simply a lie.
Why do you build up trust with infinite ease?
People in future will definitely deceive and cease.
Why do you stare at the stars all night?
They are lonely too pinned up there tight.
Why do you tremble in pressure or pain?
People will not see them as they are insane.
Why do you crave for the lost dream?
It was just a flick that made you scream.
Why do you simply feel rejected?
Abiding by ones virtues has always been complicated.
Why are you scared of being loved?
Everyone don’t betray, so stop being cowed.
Why is loving someone else not your case?
Everyone has a broken heart beneath a laughing face.
Why do you stare at your cell waiting for a call?
You are simply wasting your time my doll.
Why do you constantly check your e-mails?
To get depressed after your search fails.
Why do peoples slaughtering words hurt you?
They have been doing this, this fact isn’t new.
Why do you exhibit to this world your softer half?
Practicality rules the world so they will just laugh.
Why are you staring at Hippocratic faces?
People here have been hiding them since ages,
Why are you even trying to be an advocate of God?
Your words will be killed brutally by Satan’s sword.
Why can’t you gather strength and get up again?
Life’s blows are recursive and easy to sustain,
Why can’t you fight and try and change your fate?
If not sooner then, then why not a bit late.
NOTE: The above laid out poem IS NOT a piece of my imagination & IS NOT self written.
