God and death 💀

Below events are not dramatized in any kind!

"............God could have helped it, I don't know why he didn't!...."


It was a pretty normal day for me!
I was busy doing my thing, when suddenly mom came into my room tears rolling down her eyes, and broke the news to me! A very dear member of our large family passed away! It was so sudden, and unexpected that I couldn't think of anything to say! It was a road accident! And nothing could be done!

While talking about this incident a fine gentleman said "God could've helped, I don't why he didn't". 

I actually liked the question and inquired further,
 " so why didn't he?"

"It's not like only ( a particular religion) people die, others die too, everyday, from many different causes!"

"But that doesn't answer the question why didn't God help"

"Having hope helps, believing in God helps"

"that still doesn't answer the question"

" That was because the other party came in a wrong way, but ultimately we have to have faith in God" 

" Why aren't you answering the original question?"

I accepted this wasn't and won't go any further than this!

.......So, the actual answer to the question? "Why God didn't help?" I don't know!
If I have to answer that with my limited knowledge, I would just say there isn't a being who is concerned with our lives! 

But the thing that I was concerned about was the rigid barrier!

- If we presuppose/accept something to be an absolute fact, it can't be subjected to further reason!

Let me explain,
If I firmly believe I can pass a particular exam, 
(let's say 4th class maths), and I fail, I'll try to reason it as 
- my marks were cut by mistake
- something went wrong in the evaluation process
- my teacher has conspired against me
- isme modiji ka hath hai
I may go through all the logically possible conclusions, and even accept many of them as the probable ones! But I just wouldn't accept the one , in which I may haven't prepared enough for the exam! 



Although it is the most logical and probable deduction, I wouldn't accept it! Because the "I believe I can pass the exam" belief is an absolute fact in my mind! I cannot question it, I cannot reason with it, I cannot bend it to suit my understanding. It is my barrier.

Just imagine, if I can break that, I could question myself, 
"did I prepare for the exam well?" 
"No"? 
"Maybe I can next time"
....................and I can possibly pass the exam!

So, I asked myself again, " why God didn't help?" 
I'll let you think about it.......

Some thoughts on Religion

1) genesis, creation - the beginning : what about the beginning of the universe? If god wanted just to create earth then why all the universe? Is there no life any where out in the universe? Do they also have the same god? Are they wrong or are we? If life is intelligently designed.then why is there lots of vacuum or emptiness in space? It only points out to wasteful or bad design 2/3 of the earth is covered in water, and we can't live there. Humans are not the strongest beings, nor the biggest! We get infected by the smallest of organisms! What of all this points to an intelligent design?  2) there are so many religions. Are all true? Or all false?  Can your's be false? If all are true then are there many gods? This is where Pascal's wager doesn't make sense! [Pascal's wager  is an argument in philosophy presented by the seventeenth-century French  philosopher ,  mathematician  and  physicist ,  Blaise Pascal  (1623–1662). [1] ...
