ISN'T GOD STILL ALIVE.

Bitter as it may sound Friedrich Nietzsche’s prophesy,

‘“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?”’

 is becoming troublesomely true in our own time. Of course he was regarded as a mad man but I think we are the mad people because we have refused to see what danger religion and other supposed word-views (science inclusive) have brought forth to humanity. We worship religion and not God and because of this, where as one religion has produced fanatics who were deceived into believing that God will do everything for them, another religion is producing lunatics who were deceived into believing that their killing of ‘innocent’ people glorifies God and another world view rationalizes that God is a mere opium of the people, an escapist entity for the weak mind and very many others.

 It is hard to imagine the life of God in between these madness that we perpetrate in His name. We have kill God when a pastor will have 2 to 3 private jets and bend his followers into believing that it is the reward for worshiping God whereas Christ ordered his followers never to have ‘extra tunic’. We have killed God in our heart because we kill and maim God’s Children in the name of Allah whereas Prophet Mohammad teaches that

 ‘“A true believer is one with whom others feel secure,”.

We kill God when we believe that to believe in Him is a mere refuge of the lazy ones.

To be honest with you, we have killed God in our heart but luckily enough, He lives. God lives in the beauty of the lilies, he lives in the sounds of the birds, he lives in the cries of innocent new born, he lives in the stillness of the ocean, he lives in the heart of men and women who love and are ready to live all their life loving without any strings attached. He is dead in the heart of those who take for themselves what is meant for everyone, those who sit on other people’s way to success, those who trivialize his name for their own gains etc.

We read from many books and the Scriptures that God is love. In view of this, I tell you that we need Love more than we need religion and we need God more than we need religious men unless Religion strictly identifies with love and religious men with God, in thought, words, actions and inaction.

Make your choice today. Kill God more or raise him in your heart and in the heart of others by being a unifying force and not segregationist or any kind of fanatic.
