. . . G O D . . . . . .

Hmmmm...

Offlate, my past time has been browsing. Whatever paradise, whatever junkyard, are coming on my way, I am glancing, scanning, reading thru them. Most fascinating among them have been these Orkut profiles. They shed away so much of information about the way persons wants himself/herself "to be" or "NOT TO BE" seen... Columns such as 'about me', 'here for', 'religion', 'passions', are so educating and entertaining. Among them this 'religion' gets my special attention. They are the common 'Hindu', 'Muslim', 'Christian' to 'Atheist', 'Religious Humanism', 'Unitarian Universalist'... blah.. blah... blah...

These Atheist profiles throw out some sense of arrogance or a sense of carelessness in them... Either they are too demanding that it is this way... or they are too casual to convey they dont care... This doesnt seem to do anything with individual responsibility... but an attitude such as 'let me be ME'...

Having done full circle with this Theism to Atheism and back... God seems to have occupied the throne of my thoughts... again... And the end of it all... worst come to worst, I guess anybody can be an agnostic, but not an atheist...

I'll try to put those thoughts that made me complete the circle... and the reason that makes me take this opinion...


I had read it or heard it somewhere... that atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons... Now, the question that I came across... in a reading -> Has anybody seen an electron? I dont know... Whatever scientists claim to be an electron is just the effect or consequence of its existence, but not the electron itself. Are they sure of its shape? Are they sure of its size? Are they sure if its position? I dont know if there are exact answers... As far as my hunch goes, nobody is sure... what we could get is just a probability of these values...


During one of those High-Octane thought involving lunch breaks with 3 more brains, for some reason, I ended up counting 4 plates in front of me...
:-O
And I realized that I had counted '4'---'Plates'... All the while... in all these years... I had never realized that 4 does not exist... Neither does '3', Neither does '2'... or neither does '1234567890'... None of these numbers exists... And It took me some time to realize this shock... and a lot more time to breath out of it... I can never show a '7'. I can either show a design such as '7' and call it 'Seven' or All I can show is '7' boxes or '7' plates or '7' phones. I can never show a '7' or THE '7'

I am able to accept this 'number' that does not exist, does not have shape, does not have form, that does not give me any way of direct proof of its existence... Majority of the population has no problem accepting/believing that these numbers exist in usable form... and I bet even the self proclaimed Atheists also don't have any problem in perceiving these numbers in their thoughts and daily life... even though these numbers don't exist. How is this possible? How is that we could use something so frequently in daily lives, that does not exist, that cannot be proved to exist??? ... and still make sense out of it... just because it just makes makes things in life easy and accountable in some way...???!!!

Hmmmm... weird....
God... are u just like a number... It doesn't matter if I cant prove that you exist, but you do, because I call you so frequently in my day-to-day life and you make sense for so many things around me...!!!
