Who is a theist? Who is an atheist? Who is God ? Have these questions ever knocked on your head ? Well they did on mine. I didn't pooh-pooh them outrightly but let them to come in and surface inside my head. Let me pour it over here whatever struck on my head on this and whatever I could reason out and resolve on this.
If you are to answer the above questions, normal replies would be - A theist is a person who believes in the existence of God(s). An atheist is a person who doesn't believe in the existence of God(s). God is a supernatural being conceived as omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient and originator of this Universe. But do you really think definitions end here ? Are these definitions absolute ? Well sorry if your answer is affirmative, as I differ with you here. These are few questions I'm looking the answers for in this session. So refract all your straying thoughts from all frivolous things and converge them towards the foci point under lens of thought here.
Life exists on earth. This Universe is one creation. Everything is made of matter. A very genuine question that strikes our brain many a times when we are in pensive mood is – from where all this came ? Who created all this ? Well science give some answers. Even if we don’t ignore it or ridicule it but still you can’t buy it completely. Dubiousness will always follow it. Science says it’s formation is the result of gigantic fission/fusion reactions that took place millions of years ago. But science couldn’t come with a satisfactory answer as to from where the content/matter (gases and solids) which reacted originated. Do you think science can answer it, ever ? Well your immediate reply would be No. But science has always come up with miracles and what is not expected. So we can’t deny it completely. But more imperative thought is - would it be the day we all would stop believing in the sovereignty of almighty called God ? Followers of atheism would get another concrete reason to pooh-pooh the concept of God. Also, some of theists would shift from theism to atheism. Well probably is almost null that it would happen. Also science says – Energy can neither be created or destroyed, but can be transformed from one form to another. Question arises, if it can’t be created but can be transformed, means it exists. From where it came into existence? We can’t see energy as it has no physical existence but we all are testimonies of it’s applications. Infact we all apply it in our daily lives. Can science ever answer from where all this energy came from; which is transforming from one form to another ? Well the answer is the same as above.
There are actually different sets of people. If we format the above definitions (in paragraph 2) from our brains for sometime, what would be your reply ? You'll take a complete different view on this, like I did. Let us first understand what is God. Is God some person ? How he looks ? Where he lives ? GOD I feel is not just acronym for G – Generator, O – Operator, D – Destroyer but something beyond it, if seen on a larger canvas. I think we all believe in his existence or we all are theists or nobody is an atheist in this world. Strange ? Well I can explain how. God is not just a material thing. He is beyond the scope of physical and chemical composition. He is not just an idol but a feeling.
Every good/pure/pious feeling is God. Where goodness is, God exists. Breaking barriers of theism and atheism I believe, everyone believes in his existence. Some worship him while others practice him. Practicing him is more important than to just believe him or worship him. An atheist philanthropist is any-day better than a fanatic-theist. Some find him in idols some believe he is within. In case of former does it matter if he believes in God or not ? Infact, he is the one who is following God in true sense, though his feeling behind this is not to please God.
