Is There a God?
Many of us believe there is a God out there somewhere, still many others don't care to think about the subject at all and go on living our lives in whatever way most benefits us. No matter what the view, it is understood by all that we are going to die someday. I know that isn't a topic we like to talk about, but it is true. The day will come when we will say goodbye to this world and all that is in it.
This thought should raise some questions in our minds. "What happens next?" is a good one. And I am prepared to say that without that question there is no reason for God. If this life was all that there was, of course I would want to acquire as many possesions and "pleasures" as I could. But as rationally minded human beings we must utilize the resources we have and look into the possible scenarios.
(1) Maybe there isn't a God and when we die we are no more. There is no such thing as a soul and we just lay in the ground until we are eaten by worms. "Oh well, we were wrong about God."
(2) But what if there IS a God or Judge and we have to appear before Him and be held accountable for our actions here on earth? There will be no more procrastinating, no more time to "not think about it"...Time will be up, will you be excited and anxious to see the Judge or will you be frightened and worried?
The reason I go through this scenario is to show that we cannot run from the truth forever. As much as some of us want to believe that we will not be accountable for the way we live our life, sheer rationality tells us that there is only one alternative that covers us in both cases.

Here is what I believe: There is no god, there is no messiah, there are no prophets plugged in to some divine will. There are no saints or holy men. If there is a heaven or a hell or any other kind of afterlife, we can’t know anything about it while we’re in this life, so it’s useless to speculate and foolish to believe. Faith is an empty box. To believe in Christ is to believe in a rabbit’s foot. To believe in the Buddha is to believe that pro wrestling is real. To believe in Mohammed is to believe that the groundhog can predict spring. To believe that the Ten Commandments came from some god on a mountaintop is to believe that television psychics can talk to your dead grandmother. Allah, Jehovah and the Trinity are elves and Tinkerbells. They are no more than desperate hope given a name and anthropomorphic shape by the imaginations of frightened men
I know, I have read your blog Omar. Again I want to reiterate, that there is not one thing on this blog that was not first researched and found to be true. Also, I want to say that these feelings your showing are proof that there was some intellegent creator. Because human thought/independence cannot be explained by evolution (which is what you must believe in if you don't believe in God). Stay tuned, My next blog will be about evolution and how that has been reputiated.
