Think Rationally

For the well being of humanity


Most of the people who are theists say

You will undergo tough times, you will fail, you will have to face problems in life, If you do not pray to God or if you do not believe in God”.

This is an Empirically wrong statement or belief.

Some of the great leaders who were either Atheist are Agnostic are listed below

Bhagat Singh was an Atheist.
Jawaharlal Nehru was Agnostic.
Karl Marx was an Atheist.
Vladimir Lenin was an Atheist.
Che Guevara was an Humanist (can be considered Atheist).
தந்தை பெரியார் ( Periyaar ) was an Atheist.
etc., list goes on.

The above mentioned leaders are dead already. Many died for a cause, fighting for Freedom, few were assassinated and the rest were natural death (Eg; Nehru). They were great leaders, and yes of-course when you have responsibility, you will have to face problems, when you face problems you will have to undergo tough times, when you undergo tough times, you may fail.

Let us see other leaders who were Theists or bound to some religion.

Mahatma Gandhi followed Hinduism with Jainism.
Lal Bahadur Shastri followed Hinduism.
Galileo Galilei was an theist.
Sir Issac Newton was an theist.
etc., list goes on really big.

The above mentioned leaders are also dead already. Again they were great leaders in their respective fields. Many died for a cause. Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated, others might be natural death.

You cannot deny the fact that they did not face problems, they did not undergo tough times. Because we know the history of those people.
When you sit and think deeply, you will understand that God is just an Metaphor.

Live rationally rather than blindly following a blind belief. Because that blind belief will take you to do stupid things in the name of God, just like how we get lot of Sex Scandals in the name of God men, Superstitious beliefs and practices, Curses, etc.,

God has now turned into business and nothing else. It may turn into something more worse if we do not think and act. We humans have brains to think rationally, Go ahead use it to the fullest.

Question everything, Everything that your religion says you to do so. If you don’t get answers, keep exploring, that is what Rational means. — your homo-sapient friend.
