I really feel sorry for wasting your time. You have put in so much of effort without even realising that the list of 'religion' that you have listed above is most inaccurate. Please study your subject first, become truly knowledgeable and then proclaim that you are 'highly' knowledgeable about the topic. You were probably looking for the graphics to go with your article. A picture or symbol that would go with Atheism. That is how you found my blog. I am glad you did and used the image. It is lovely picture. Next time, do your home work before blasting out at anyone on their blog. Remember you are a guest when you are commenting on their blog. Thank you and have a smashing day/evening. Dear Erin,

Your input is highly appreciated. I would say my ability to express my view was not to the mark and it came across differently. It seems you are under impression that I do support the conventional understanding of 'GOD' which is most of the time equated to religion. In any case, you seem to have missed the point. If you were to look at other articles of my blog here and elsewhere, you will understand that I am against the blind faith part of it. What bothers me is believing in one way the only way and all other ways are wrong. Even if someone says 'Science is the only way'. I beg to differ. Science has not yet proved its worth. This is in no way defending religion or those who believe in GOD. The list you presented of dominant religions and your comments, are were academic. Limited to western perspective and 'scientific' way of deduction. If human is the one race, then why do we have so many nations? So many languages, so many cultures? The myriads of social differences. Within a nation, being one nation, why there are many different political parties? Religion may not have proven if GOD exists. However science has also failed in proving GOD does not exist. You are knowledgeable, you say and I am flattered to see such knowledgeable person taking time to point to me the various belief systems that exist. Question is, of those all that you have listed, how many have you studied closely, with an open mind. Just because you cannot try the principles of religion on monkeys and mice in a laboratory does not mean it is invalid or unscientific. Definitely I disagree with the fanatic approach to ANY religion. Especially when it becomes a cause of friction amongst the humans. However if a belief system can bring about some comfort to human race and help them in their difficult times, I don't see any harm in it. The first step towards wisdom, not knowledge, is a step towards understanding the beauty of life. This wisdom brings more harmony amongst humans and other living beings. In more scientific terms, it brings balance in the eco-system. However, for reasons of religion or science, when this connection is broken, you only see disaster. Science has unfortunately not been able to avoid such disaster. In fact at times it has aggravated it. Mindless application of science is not really 'friendly' thing to do. My main theme in the article published above was to mock at pseudo intellects, who for name sake, fashionably go around saying 'I don't believe in GOD'. Without having sound reasoning or any rational arguments in the support. Most of them simply quote from popular literature on subject. It is such mindless controversy and arguments that I dislike and hence the topic 'Even Atheist needs GOD' ... something they can deny to exist. Else these pseudo intellects will have nothing better to do. They won't have an anchor to stir up all the commotion and impress the parties with their twisted arguments. In my humble view, it does not matter if GOD exists or not. What matters is how blind is one to one definitive faith, be it religion or science. If one is not open to accept and open to learning, then there is no point in discussing GOD. For that matter even science. The fad that goes on in name of religion, science, GOD and Spirituality is pathetic. No one is original. The closest that I follow and appreciate is the people of Quantum Theory. However it seems of late even they are heading for a collision and division amongst themselves. Dividing in to two schools. Birth of one more religion? For years I have taught people to believe in their own self. Above and beyond all the existing schools. Taught them to set themselves free from existing regimental thought process. I can go on, but I leave it here. There is no point of difference or point I need to defend when I see you have clearly missed the essence of my article. Nonetheless, your input is really brilliant and I appreciate the effort you made in writing this reply. Thank you. Hope someday you will come across some more of my blogs here and elsewhere and would get some gist of what I am saying. Peace be with you. Dear Erin,
