A lot of people belief in God is so connected to their culture and religion, that disbelieving in their religion/culture, would result in a total disconnect from God.

In fact, a lot people go through a phase of Deism after leaving their religion, only to be lead out of it, slowly but surely, into Atheism.

This however definitely not going to be my path.

Sometimes when I really think about the issue, I wonder, how would I view myself or human beings, if I disbelieve in God.

Our sense of self is connected to so many beliefs with no real "evidence" for it, in the sense of scientific or philosophical or logical evidence.

The sense that I exist. What is this "I". Why do I regret past actions, why do I care about future actions.

Why do I feel connected to my family. Why should I feel gratitude towards my parents?

Why should I love? What is love? What is loving...what is this I that love.

Why should I feel pride? Why should I feel shame? Why should I want honor? Why should I believe in honor?

What type of praise should I deny? Should I acknowledge mundane praise but reject holiness subsection of praise?

What is praise? What is being praised when someone does something great? Is the body and motion of the body in that action? Is the brain cells working together that are being praised? What is this me that I see constantly? Is it located anywhere? Is it the body? So if you cut off my legs, would I be losing a part of that "I". If I lose some brain cells, would I be losing part of that "I".

What is justice? What is morality? What is right, what is wrong, what is good what is evil.

You see, I came to the conclusion, if God is a delusional concept, then so are all these. Our sense of I, our sense of praise, our sense of pride, our sense of beauty, our sense of justice, our sense of honour, our sense of greatness, our sense of morals and ethics, to me, these are metaphysical, and must have come down from a living metaphysical eternal reality.

At the very least, they are highly questionable, very improbable to being justified in belief in these things, without belief in God.



I see it. I know it. I'm not a delusion. My pride is justified. My shame is also justified. My regrets, my looking towards the future.

An exact objective measurement to who I am exists, even if I don't know it, I know there is a objective measurement to me. It's not universal, it's rather particular to a perfect judge. Without his eyes sight and vision of who I am, my existence would not be possible.

It would be a delusional concept, with no grounding. I live through this being, I see through this being, I know through this being.

Blood is important and binds people closely, but spiritual origin, is more important, and makes this being the closest of all beings to me.

I will love this being with all my heart. I will revere it with all my heart. And I will look towards till my soul eyes break all veils, and reach the source of grandeur and my soul becomes suspended in honour of it's sanctity and holiness.

I won't say I don't care if Atheist believe or don't believe. I think our relationship with this being is healthy for us. Recognizing it will help us recognize who we are. Forgetting will make us forget who we are.

Just like it's unhealthy to disconnect from family, friends, etc, it's unhealthy to disconnect from the closest of all beings to us, the most caring for us.

I don't believe God interferes in the physical world, but I do believe he interferes in the spiritual world. And in that, I pray all of you will one day realize your souls existence and it's spiritual realm, and that God will help you achieve certainty in him and in your own souls.

This God is of no relevance to me then.
