The True Atheist
When someone says ‘I do not believe in GOD’, they directly support the existence of GOD. The modern day mouthpiece of atheists has made it very clear that Atheism is a lack of belief in GOD.
In reality, atheism should not be generalized because people have different reasons for not believing in GOD. Let’s analyze ‘disbelief’ through three well known characters. The Fox, The Flamboyant Intellectual and The Confused Lover.
The Fox
The fox is habituated to bite off more than what they could chew. Like every creation of GOD, the fox also had the ability to achieve greater things in life. However, the fox chose not to transform their ability into a capability. They wished for the sun and the moon without working a sweat.
GOD acknowledged the wishes, but withheld the grant as the wishes were meritless. To please GOD and to make HIM heed, the fox went on pilgrimages and showcased dedication through rituals. GOD understood the intent and HE remained unmoved.
The fox having splurged resources without returns was frustrated and depressed. Hence found comfort by blaming GOD and HIS ecosystem. Eventually the fox walked away from HIM, crying ‘sour grapes’.
The Flamboyant Intellectual
The flamboyant intellectual is a self-proclaimed knowledge collector. They gathered knowledge to pamper their ego. Little did they realize that what is known to their mind is a drop and the unknown is an ocean. They kept their ears closed and made it a routine to question everything around them. They fashionably challenged GOD’s existence, but called themselves a free spirit. They claimed to believe in ‘themselves’.
‘Self’ of ‘themselves’, Will of ‘freewill’, Spirit of ‘free spirit’, they all refer to the soul. The soul is a fragment of the Supreme Spirit, which is GOD. Practically, one cannot possibly love themselves or believe themselves by disputing belief in GOD or HIS existence. The theory ‘I believe in my free spirit, but not GOD’ is like loving and endorsing the peanut, but hating and rubbishing the ground nut.
The Confused Lover
The confused lover is in touch with their soul without realizing what it is. Despite their self-proclaimed ‘lack of belief’ in GOD, they love themselves and every creation of HIS. Like ‘belief’ even ‘disbelief’ has a substance.
The confused lover is a victim of the ‘Gods of religion’ and the rituals that tag along. They have been severely bruised by the concept that was prescribed to them. Their trust was abused and their love was betrayed. They had the capability to find GOD, but they were misled by elements such as the fox, the flamboyant intellectual and Godmen.
The disbelief of the confused lover is not driven by hate, but by disappointment in not finding love. Involuntarily this disappointment motivates them to wander in search of the truth. To be precise, they are in transition from the ‘Gods of Religion’ to ‘Religion of GOD’.
Of the three characters, the confused lover is a true atheist. True atheists have always been on GOD’s side. However their situation in life never allowed them to feel the truth or acknowledge it. They have been in love with GOD and following HIM without calling HIM GOD. They will realize GOD through all their senses, should they allow themselves to be channelized and guided.
