Why i believe God exists [and think you should, too!]

1. Because it's obvious?
Yeah, it really is! Think about it-What really are the chances of the Big bang explosion JUST happening? Imagine a really, REALLY long, winding road. Now imagine standing at one end of it, having never EVER traveled on it, not even knowing how long it is, properly, and being asked to guess the EXACT number of curves on it. What would you be ready to bet on getting it right? And then imagine being asked to describe each and every curve EXACTLY right, with details like angle of variation from previous line of travel, surroundings, amount of grass growing on the verge, etc etc. NOW what would you bet on it? Even provided you're drunk as an owl, aren't the odds glaringly obvious? Thats exactly what the Big Bang theory is. An infinitely long road from one single point to a universe...with each curve being an event in that chain...and each event having infinite possibilities...you get the picture. And, of course, the fact that the existence of the single point is ALSO suspect! Yeah, right. And people who believe in a MUCH more logical concept, a creator? Hell no, THEY are the fools! Look, people, when i look around at the world, and see the beautiful, greased machine that it is...perfectly self-preserving...unchanging even in constant change...the only discordant note in this beautiful, complicated chorus US humans, the probability of it all occurring by chance is SO impossible it simply vanishes for me. What IS it with people that the simple idea of something bigger and better than them is unbearable? Ha?

2. Because my ego ain't SO inflated...
that i can't take the idea. That, in my not-so-humble opinion, is the biggest issue people have with God. HOW can i agree that there is someone out there who's so much better than me that if i live for a thousand years, or more, i'll still just be a tiny, infinitesimal point in front of His almighty hugeness? NO chance! I'd much rather bury my head in the sand and spend my life denying that i ain't the best thing in the world. I control everything! Yeah, i ain't a big fan of the whole "You build your own destiny" thing either. There are, and will always be, uncontrollable elements in your life. Loads and loads of them. Of course, no one says that you stop trying to make your life better than it is and blame it all on Fate...but if it ain't there for you, you ain't gonna get it. However much you struggle. All the facts are right there in front of you, dude! Just look at 'em.

3. 'Cuz the Holy Books say so.
No, the idea ain't as absurd as it looks at first. What many non-believers say about the great religions is that they were just invented by some really smart ancestors so that people would live their lives well, and being afraid of an after-life and a greater power and so on, would be more afraid to commit crimes and be anti-social. Also, as an added bonus, the mythical ancestor would get a free fan-following, people listening to whatever he said, and loads of cash [or kind, depending on the time-span] for doing nothing but sitting around blessing people. And, maybe, it would generate employment in the future, what with all the people needed for building temples and all the priests, etc. All fine, but i see two holes in this theory. First, the scale of what some of these Books say is so vast [for example, the Hindu culture lists 330,000,000 SUB-Gods alone, and yeah, they all have a name and function. Would YOU sit around making something like that up just for those motivations?] that it is really tough to imagine anyone who had the brains, the patience, and the TIME for writing all that as human anyways. A person that smart? And getting power at that scale, with people doing whatever you told them to, it would take someone of such pure spirit not to go crazy with the power that he really would deserve to be called a God. [Evidence that their power didn't drive them mad? Read some of those Books!]
And second, if there was such a person, who was so sweet and kind and compassionate that he thought about all the future generations till the end of the world-why would he lie about what he was saying? Maybe, just maybe, honesty was another of his long list of qualities? Think about it...

4. 'Cuz atheism, or even agnosticism, is a REALLY lame excuse...
for running away from what you KNOW you're doing. A flimsy, lace curtain you hide behind, because you realize completely, that if all, or even ANY, of the religionists are right, you are majorly screwed after you die. Because hell, in none of the religions, is an attractive place, and heaven, in all of them, is definitely not where YOU are heading! Because you don't want to learn any kind of control over yourself, want to do everything that is morally discouraged in life, want to break every rule in the Book, and then want to believe you won't even be punished for it. But, trust me, you're screwed anyway. Try telling an angry patrolman on the streets that you don't believe driving drunk is illegal and just see what you get. So, cuz there ain't any running away from THIS court of law, you're much better off finding out, and following, the rules don't you think? And even if it ain't true at all about the afterlife, all you're really losing from staying away from alcohol, drugs, tobacco and crime is a huge load on your conscience, a screwed up liver, and every kind of cancer you can think of. And some that you can't. And if, by chance, it is, and you insist on doing things they say you shouldn't... Make sense to you? Sure did to me

That is mostly it. I ain't saying you should become a Vaishnav [like me], or a Christian, or a Muslim. Not yet, anyways! That is entirely your pick. After all, you never know which one might be right! [Actually, they all are, but that's another long story for later...] So i ain't some religious fanatic just waiting to get up and riot all because you call God something different...or don't believe in Him at all...nope. I'm just stating my opinion...and hoping it gets YOU thinking...please comment.
