Sure most of you have already heard/read the book by Prof. Richard Dawkins.

Do you consider yourself atheist? or not-atheist? Is (the idea of) God a delusion?

An illuminating read - have read it twice.

You might also try End of Faith by Sam Harris - Dawkin's gifted disciple.

Agree with you sandhurst! will look for end of faith.

 

 

 

 

Hajur, i know for sensitive issue to discuss here, in Hinduism back long ago before Moeslem comes into reality, inside the Kaabah was laid 9 stone with centred with holy marked stone of Shiva Lingga, represent the 9 cosmos planet circled the Lingga stupa of The Sun God post paganisme.Shiva is the Lord of Universe that rules entire bhumi, heavens and cosmos.Thus Shiva as the neophytes controller must be worship as God. There`s based on quantum physic and  non-methaphor, Hindu`s mandir as where as it basis must be put it back  as per order. By right Moeslem is Nur that brings lights during the so-called emancipations of women, civilized, human inherent at the present times or so forth, Hindu`s has the prema facie to retain the domain mandala square mention{the Kaaba} back....

 

Jai Siva , Jai Pasupatinath,

Religion is a fairy tale that has been told for ages, and will just be a myth in times (Future). Some believe it so blindly and find it worth dying or killing for.

 

God is not important but his/her massage and teachings are.

The teachings should not be taken as a law, but as a guide line to live your daily day happily, and make your life better.

 

Every topic can be argues, some more easily then the others. Every one wants to prove their point on what they are saying. Not all are as good at arguing and proving their point then the others.

Those who are not good at proving their points follow those who are better.

 

When an ordinary incident is cooked throughout times, sometime it becomes a ledged, and a myth and it may as well be a part of a religion. This depends on the person who is telling the story through out the time, his ability to argue and prove his points.

 

Some may find this example of mine very offensive, but it is a fact.

Example:

Just take an ordinary stone from anywhere, and put it under a tree in a public place, and put some Sindoor and a mala on it. After few days you will attract worshippers there, one day there may even be a temple. If you even give that stone your own name, your name will be worshiped and called with respect.

 

I am not trying to offend our religion, but it is just to argue on my own point about god is not important but his teaching, to make our life easy. If every one paid the same respect as to that stone you planted, then perhaps our daily life would be easier then it is today back home.

 

Every single person has their own point of view, as they live and experience life their own way. A word and teaching can be twisted in many ways, for the benefit of ones own good.

 

It’s all in the mind.

 

Just a thought………

God is Neutral. God is Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent. God is Formless. God is Universal. God is Love. God is Truth. God is Bliss.

The enlightened man will no longer pray to an image because he knows that God is Cosmic Energy and he knows that the Truth is changeless. An image is just a point of focus for the unenlightened man. The various religions have been modified to suit the various sects and time. This modification has not stopped.

God is in the mind. When you start practicing sense withdrawal (pratyahara), it will lead you to concentration (dharana). This will then lead you to a state of meditation (dhyana) and finally to self-realisation (samadhi). Then you will realise that God is not a delusion.

god is there, who are we people to call god a delusion?

there could be countable atheists in the world, most of people who claim to be an atheist are self lier. dont fake it people.....afterall none can prove god's existence but its there being good is how u discover it .....peace....just an opinion!!!

The Five face Linga

 

In this beautifully propotioned pancamukhalinga, the face of the mantra Vamadeva/ Uma is flanked by those of Tatpurusa/Mahadeva on her right and Sadyojata/Nandin on her left......

An excerpt of Prof. Dawkin's interview

Act of god:

Being God isn't easy. If you do too much, people get dependent on you. And if you do nothing, they lose hope. You have to use a light touch;

if he makes it look like an electrical thing. If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

All Organized Religion is Man Made.

There is no God as humans perceive.

However there is something out there which human history has defined as God.
