Were religions meant to simplify our lives and make us more God like? Had we been anything better without any of the religions that are currently breeding on earth? Eons have passed, things evolve with time. Have these religions developed with passing centuries or have humans become more God like? OR should I ask, have these religions degenerated with passing gurus or have humans become worse than parasite? Doesn’t that sound more apt now? Hell, it does to me!

I am a self-proclaimed Atheist, very much like the next door self-proclaimed baba or imam. I could be worse than those leaders but I would consider myself better for that I have led a fully conscientious adult rather than a crowd of senseless humans. I have no God to appease to, I don’t have any tie with any Guru who could have initiated me into a sacred circle, I haven’t signed up myself to any sacral institution for unnecessary donations or fines, and I don’t have a religion that could scare the living daylights out of me reminding me any coming Judgement Day. I judge my own ways in life, I put fine on myself for mistakes committed and I donate in my hand made Piggy banks, which from no angle looks like a Pig.

For all this, I am free. Free from tiring devotion, nerve wracking spiritual initiations and fear inducing religious guidance. I owe nothing to the God, who is well-known among humans for I do not pollute the river with chemical painted enormous sculptures, I do not kill the animals at the name of Allah, I do not disturb the olds and infants by endless ringing of bells in temples and I do not create chaos in ethereal by anticipating any doomsday. Also I do not foresee any fascination for his immortal enemy, Satan, just that I anticipate Sat-urday every week.

People must think that living as an Atheist is so endless, senseless, and beingless existence. Since I don’t have any authority figure to fear from unless I want to sin and I don’t have any supreme power to look up to unless I am in distress. If seen objectively, and if I err minutely or sin degradedly, won’t I be stealing from myself? What? Of course, my dignity! Didn’t that thought or that word at least come across to you yet? Oh yeah, I could understand God must have not told you that apart from his name, Yours too could hold dignity.

Ask me. Living an atheist’s life is like living in heaven with no anticipations no fear no judgements no rebukes and no fines too! I thanks as I wake up, to myself, that I survived the night’s dead sleep. I seek comfort from Me when I am not in good condition. If God existed, what would he think of me? Upset with me that I didn’t choose any religion to live by when he had sent sooo many avatars of himself.

What if I had chosen any one to abide myself by....?

Then I would have been like YOU!!!
