OH MY GOD!

OMG – Oh My GOD...very often we hear from the mouths of people of all countries of the world. GOD yes GOD, the three letter word has been the controversial word over centuries ever since human beings started using it. In fact, they created innumerable GODs everywhere all around the world and divided the people into groups/religions. In the name of GOD and religion millions of humans were butchered, assassinated and murdered mercilessly. Still there is no evidence to show that GOD has punished those cruel people.

GOD is defined differently by different people. For some Christ is the GOD, for some others Allah or Buddha or Rama or Shiva or Vishnu or numerous others are GODs. At the same time for some there is no GOD at all. They are the Atheists. Even in Hinduism itself there are millions of GODs. Every year, month and day people celebrate festivals in the name of GODs. Festivals like Christmas, Easter, Muharram, Eid al-Fitr, Diwali, Durga Puja, Vinayagar Chaturti are celebrated every year with gay and gaiety spending lots of money to buy new clothes and food. Processions are held around for few days. Fireworks go up in the air creating noise and environmental pollutions. People offer flowers and foods, gold and money to their GODs. Such believes in GOD are growing day by day as we progress technologically.

Because of such blind believes billions of people have, a section of people commercialize GOD and make money and enjoy. GOD-men are plenty in every country, not to say in India. They are everywhere in India. In general, they are versatile speakers and preach Vedas, Bible or Quran to common man. These men and women live comfortably in posh bunglows with thousands of followers who are indeed their devoted fans. They do travel widely to preach their ideas to convince the ignorant and poor people by providing some basic things they badly need. Thus they make more and more followers and become a popular figure in the world. We have enough proof some of them who preach spirituality are bogus and immoral. They are jailed for molestation and rape of women devotees and murdering them. I do not know how people believe such spiritual beings who are virtual criminals.

By the name of GOD heaven and hell are created in the minds of people in order to make them disciplined. It is said that people who do good will go to heaven and those who do bad things will go to hell. This concept is injected deep into the minds of people around. Even educated class of the society believe it as truth. But they fail to understand the nature of heaven and hell. Numerous stories have been popularized all around the world generation after generation.

Even today no one could, I think in future even, prove that GOD is one who controls the Universe and the planet Earth where we live. Is GOD human or alien or a force or energy? We do not know. Some claim they know! I believe GOD is unknown to all of us, although most of us believe otherwise. Some of the fake news spread in the weak minds of mankind has established the concept of GOD. I think it’s the fear we all have is the root cause to accept this concept.

Fear in life is a universal phenomenon. If someone is ill or die or not attaining what he or she wants lead to believe in GOD. By passing on all the sins we have committed, to GOD we believe that we will be excused and allowed to enter the heaven!

One of the famous scientists of our time – Stephen Hawking said – “We are each free to believe what we want and it’s my view that the simplest explanation is that there is no GOD. No one created the Universe and no one directs our fate. There is probably no heaven and after life either. I think belief in after life is just wishful thinking.”

Some say that Google is the modern day GOD, omniscient, omnipotent and trustworthy. In other words Google is the global GOD.   - NARA
