You know what I really don't get? When religious fanatics hate on atheists. Now I'm neither a religious fanatic, nor an atheist. In fact, I believe that there is a supernatural force that governs us and this world. I just choose not to put a name to it, like God or more specifically, Shiva or Jesus or whoever.
How can religious fanatics hate on atheists? Isn't that in itself blasphemous - questioning the intelligence of their God and his creations?
Now suppose there was a God and he was the creator of the universe and all of us. He's either the creator of all our ideologies, thoughts and behaviours too or he has given us free will.
So when an individual is an atheist, his atheism stems as a creation of God or is a product of his free will. Either ways, when you question this atheism, you're questioning your 'God'.
How is it alright for you to accept or reject, love or hate someone in accordance with whether their beliefs are in tandem with yours? It intrigues me, every single time, when people say that you'll be condemned to Hell because you're an atheist or you're gay or haven't preserved your "flower" for your to-be-husband or whatever. What are these religious fanatics even trying to create? A zombie-world full of like-minded people with no originality, individuality or free will?
Sometimes, it seems like these people want to hold on to these "religious beliefs" and make them universal only as a desperate attempt to keep the values and traditions of their culture alive. So many of these rituals related to God just stem from what our ancestors and culture have propagated for years. If you just wanted to believe in God, you would, without trying to grasp onto various rituals and traditions.
If people saw this from a more neutral perspective and stopped shoving their faith, belief and religion down everyone's throat, the world would be a happier place.
