The Issue with God’s future…


Umm..I don't know what to say, well to say the truth, I had completely forgotten about this blog. With all the pressure of ninth grade board exams and other activities (which include writing my second book), it took a month of sitting at home due to COVID-19 to find this. Anyway,  I have come up with an essay on an interesting and quite controversial topic, god. 

 DISCLAIMER: The following are simply my thoughts on this topic and I simply share it with you all. However, everybody is free to have their own views.

The Issue with God’s future…

“Is man merely a mistake of God? Or God merely a mistake of man?”
-Friedrich Nietzsche

Countless books have been written on this subject and thousands have sacrificed themselves in the war for religion. But is this right? Can you force a religion on someone? I don’t think so.

So, what is the future of religion? Looking ahead in time, how will people regard God? Or rather, will people regard God? Questions are many, and answers have to be found. For this, let’s look at mankind’s history. Whenever science was unable to explain something, religion told it to be a work of God. Even then, people place their faith in a community which till a few centuries ago told them that the Earth was flat!

There are still a few unsolved mysteries which are said to be God’s work. But at the rate science is evolving it won’t be long before they are cleared. And then where will God be? Especially if nobody will believe in his controlling their lives. Now, let’s look at another angle. Maybe God exists, maybe he doesn’t. But if believing in him gives people the hope of happiness, courage to live and strength to strive; nobody has the right to deprive them of their faith.

However, there are some people who kill others and start wars in the name of religion. That, I believe, is something which won’t happen a 100 years from now. For that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I predict God’s future. Improved education and moral teachings would put an end to such barbarian acts of our time. Most of today’s fundamental questions will be answered which will lead to a lot more people becoming atheists and denouncing God.

There is another point which, I regrettably have to mention. It is painful when I remember that humans, fully matured humans perform some horrifying, irrational and inhuman ‘rituals’. A few examples are ‘Grishneshwar Temple Drop’ or ‘Self-flagellation during Muharram’. I certainly pray that the chains of time will bound these acts securely and that they won’t take place in the future.
At the end of it all, Jon Stewart perfectly concludes my article when he says…


“God gives us hope in a world torn apart by religion”
I hope that you find my views logical and practical. To frankly speak, whatever the truth may be, I feel that it is not an issue to fight about. As I said, even if god does exist, I am sure he does not like the actions terrorists do under his name. With this I bid adieu to you all.
P.S.- As I mentioned above the Corona Virus is a serious problem and not to be taken lightly,  I request everybody to please follow the Government guidelines and maintain social distancing

Best Fiction Books of All Time

   Origin of Fiction Writing -  Fiction writing has been a very important part of human culture and will continue to be so. Taking an exact point in time and saying that this is where fiction writing was born, however, is a foolish task and anyone who tries to do so is wrong. Books were initially taken with great seriousness, the only place where a common man saw books was with priests and scientists. Thus it was natural that they assumed anything written in a book to be the truth. A change in this attitude was observed around the earlier centuries of the first millennium when Classic Sanskrit and Tamil Sangam literature was born. Stories and poems were written in the common man's language and people started getting used to the idea that books could be a work of imagination too   Fiction Writing has been around for ages and yet has kept evolving. New genres keep coming up along with fresh styles of writing. Some books can take more credit for this than others, t...

An Essay on "My Most Disastrous Day Ever" in 250 words.

                  Who would want to have a disastrous day? I don't think anybody would. But whether you like it or not, everybody has one, even if not serious but a mild one. My most disastrous day was when I was taken to our principal's office.                                                  Now you'll say, 'not a big deal' but I had maintained a clean slate up till then. I was then in my fifth grade. Our yearly exams were going on and 'April Fools Day' was coming up. So I had a few tricks up my sleeve. I was going to put sand in my friend's bag as a prank. Back then, I didn't understand that this deed would bring nothing but trouble to him. As you might have guessed, I was caught and upto 3 different teacher's severely scolded me and as a bonus also told me in advance that I would by taken to the principal aft...
