Two sides of the same coin

Religious people do not annoy me.

Atheists do not annoy me.

What annoys me is those who hide behind either of the aforementioned titles and do whatever they feel like doing.

For example; beating your wife for not wearing a veil or looking in the direction of another man. No religion in this world at least condones such actions. In fact, religions are opposed to physical violence in relation to a woman, as that very woman is a daughter or a mother, or a sister or perhaps all 3.

Likewise, wearing the title of an atheist does not afford the luxury of committing countless travesties simply because the law permits it and you don’t really care about religion.

Furthermore, both parties are guilty of bashing each other. God and religion bashers, if you’re all so self assured about the “fact” that God doesn’t exist, great! I applaud you. But use your time for a better purpose, like working to save the economy or curing cancer or getting the reliable field of science to find a reason behind Autism. Do not question what kind of God allows for such evil to exist in society. Find a way to rid evil yourself.

Religious people, if you’re so sure about the “fact” that God exists, great! Pray for strength and patience. Do not pray for the apple to fall out of the tree, pray for the intellect and strength and perseverance to reach the apple. Do not impose your religious views on your fellow human being. Behave as your religion recommends; set an example to your community. Actions speak louder than words.

The problem is; both sides have drifted so far from their core principles it seems as if they’re trying to be proven wrong. Atheists constantly claiming that God doesn’t exists for a variety of reasons almost seem to be looking for an answer that would prove them wrong. Believers vehemently protesting God’s existence without having understood the texts they are referring to seem to be waiting for the killer blow that proves them wrong.

Both sides have valid points. Either side may be right. But just as wise men think alike, fools seldom differ.

Just a thought…

What’s with the renewed outbreak of Atheists out there?

Seriously, we’re breeding them like animals in battery farms, which somehow bothers me as much as obesity. However, before I continue, I want to clearly state that I have nothing against Atheists; I just take offence at them religion bashing at every given opportunity as opposed to going about their Atheism in a live and let live manner. Granted, there are a bunch of nut jobs on team Religion Atheism bashing, but they do not run around coming up with theories increasingly ridiculous about God’s existence, which by the way is what Atheists do, except they attempt to disprove God.

“Have you seen, heard, felt etc. God?”

“No, but I believe”

“Then you are ignorant”

Somehow it is weird that certain Atheists claim that Religious people are afraid to entertain the thought of  God not existing simply because Religious people believe “ignorance is bliss.”

Well I take offence with that. Atheists have opted to dismiss the existence of God without actually attempting to look for answers. It is highly convenient to point fingers at the sky and as “What kind of God would let Justin Bieber exist?” I ask that question to sometimes. Some people have gone so far as to sue God, just for the fun of proving that God is defenceless. However, Atheists by pursuing logical arguments have forgotten that there are questions that even science with technology at its disposal cannot answer. Nor do Atheists actually attempt to believe.

Also, it might be noteworthy that while Atheists are being bred like chain production, masses are embracing religion and belief in a higher power.  So who is really ignorant because from where I stand, those who are strutting around arrogantly dismissing God seem to be ignorant. This therefore leads me to question; if “ignorance really is bliss’ why are Atheists running around stressing out so much?

I understand the sensitivity of this topic and I understand that it might seem as if I’ve trivialised the whole discussion by painting a biased picture, but all I ask is that; if we cannot understand each other and would rather not try, the least we can do is accept and live and let live.
