We created God rather than he created us : The Brainwash

I still remember when I was a little kid, I used to believe in those fairy-tale and fantasy inspired stories of God. We all do believe in God in our childhood or rather forced to do so. I have done quite a research and found out that how we all are brain-washed by our parents, relatives and even by teachers(very rarely) about the existence of God and religion.

For example, my mother had all the answers to those question on which even world renowned physicist are striking their head, such as :

• How the universe was created( it was not Big-Bang! ).
• How we all are born (I know, right ?).
• How he comes to save us whenever evil starts taking over the world (like its very peaceful right now).

Those awesome stories of Gods and Goddesses, at least they were awesome in my culture. It just took 10 years of science classes to learn the reality of those mythical stories and fantasy characters (Although I still watch GOT! ). I remember, when I started questioning each and every ritual, my temporary nickname became "Question Bank"!

The more I researched, the surer I became that that god is pretty
much a made-up thing used to take political power, used to control and restrict the freedom of citizens. But then it came to me that probably it might be one of the biggest business as well!

As I started collecting various information blocks written down by great researchers, it all started making sense! When you dig deep down to the first few human civilizations like Mesopotamia and Indus Valley Civilization, you will find out that we didn't have much understanding of our surroundings. So there were a lot of things that we couldn't explain at that time, such as fire, rain, winds, death, lightning, etc. Now keep yourself in such a situation, where lightning and heavy rain causes destruction and you don't know why it's happening! You don't have any clue what the hell it is, the spark, the terrifying sound and the crash. It must have been horrible for them, so they started fearing from these elements of nature. This is when the concept of God first came into existence. Since then, the human race named everything that it didn't understand as a God, for example, Fire, Sun, Moon, and OMG, even Stars and Planets!

That is how the very existence of God seems to be created. When we fast forward time a bit after great civilizations, we see another change in the God's perspective during the time of power struggle, yes, the time of Kings. It was due to natural calamities, as after these civilizations, migration was at its peak so the experience of the natural disaster became more frequent. It is even written in many holy books that Earthquake is a way of God to tell his children about his anger and punish them. When we observe it carefully, we will find that the natural disasters were used by various people of that time to yield power by saying that it's God's anger that we are seeing in the form of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes! Again, there wasn't any knowledge of tectonic plates and its movement back then so It was very believable back then.

The same trend of brainwashing continued, and after the advent of Abrahamic religion, the trend of Polytheism changed to Monotheism. When you research about great Jesus Christ and Muhammad, they never said that they are the prophet or messenger of God. They never said to form a new religion out of their great teachings! They were great personalities and I respect their teachings. They gave the message of peace. But after their death, again, those power thirsty people used their teachings to manipulate people, converted it to a religion, and motivated to revolt against their evil kingdoms. Although started with a holy purpose of revolting against those evil kingdoms for peace, it became a tool of power and chaos.

This trend now continues as politicians use our feelings of blindness towards our faith and hatred against other faiths to manipulate and polarize. It has become a tool for them to acquire vote bank. Now, just imagine about all those little teen brains, which are consistently being fed by these myths. Myths like their region are true one and rest of them are evil. Myths that inspire people to kill for their god or religion. People are murdering one-another in the name of religion and faith. Radical Islam and Radical Christianity is on rising. I am not targeting a single religion here. I am talking about every religion. There are so many hate killing done by Muslims(as terrorists), Christians(killing of Indian engineers in the USA) as well as Hindus(Killings in the name of beef) in their respective majority areas so I am not targeting any religion here!

If you are an atheist than there is a point, never argue with anyone. Why you ask! Cause it’s a total time waste. We are about to cross the Information Age and enter into the AI age. We are reaching Mars and Saturn. Hell, we have even teleported a Photon from Space to Earth. But religious pundits and priest still preach that how God created this universe in six days and rested on seventh ( I mean, anything? ).  I got frustrated many times arguing with my friends and family members about the very existence of God. As it's quite difficult to argue with blind followers, I never won the argument cause they still think lightning strikes because God is angry(I mean, wad daa feuk ?).

As you can see, that Brainwashing to believe in God is very critical part of our society. Most of us have to go through this process. Some loose their reasoning to keep that belief while many get influenced by other factors such as power and politics. Although the conditions seem to be improving. We can only hope for the best!

This article explains the existence of God from the viewpoint of an Atheist. I am a complete Atheist. Although I do follow Hinduism. Well, you can read about it on Wikipedia: Atheism in Hinduism, but simply put, Hinduism is the only religion that allows Atheism!

This article also tries to explain that why I think that,  we created God rather than he created us? I broke this article down into four posts:

• The Brainwash
• Power, Politics & Religion
• It’s a plain Business
• Conclusion

But first of all, I would like to acknowledge that this post contains my views, you may have yours as well and I am not trying to manipulate or change them, I am just trying to explain mine, you can explain yours as well in the comment section.
