I like to believe
that I have faith but no belief. Let me explain, to believe in the existence of
God and to not believe in the existence of God are two side of the same coin if
you ask me in that both parties are firm in their respective beliefs and will
brook no challenge to their positions. But my point about having faith and no
beliefs is that you simply don’t know for sure about the veracity of the claims
and counter claims made by both sides in fact can anybody tell for sure. You implicitly
repose your faith in an unwritten rule, a kind of unseen rhythm that regulates
the ebbs and flows of life. But to believe in an almighty God who will always
be benevolent towards us has proved to be patently false. How would you make
sense of all the misery and strife surrounding us? Where is real justice? Most of
the time, those who have professed a belief or propagated a religion, have done
so with no meagre assistance from threat, intimidation and this constant fear
of the unknown where a divine retribution awaits those a private code and
public taboo. Even the staunchest of atheists, at the time of personal tragedy
have been known to rush back to the same Gods who they have denounced all their
life. What absurdity is this? As a human being you are entitled to meditate
upon the deeper questions as to are we the sum and sub total of our consciousness?
What happens after we have turned into ashes and dust? What is really about the
ultimate truth? Questions galore and your mind reels at enormity of the burden.
But what a stupid and dumb people we are that we can’t swallow our pride and
just say that ‘we don’t know one way or another’. It may seem like a caravan
but you are on an inner journey of and on your own.
