I have been perceived by many among my circle of friends, colleagues and family as a Freethinker, which I don’t deny as I am very well a freethinker of my own kind. With all due respect to the religion believers, let me get one fact right. There might be several reputable sites over in the internet that states Freethinker as a religion by its own, but this is not true. Freethinkers do not indulge themselves to be the children of God; in fact Freethinkers question the existence of the path towards God. Actually we take a very liberal approach when it comes to God. We are nice people; we don’t want to engage in a heated argument about religion and the path to meet God. We respect and adhere the believe and faith of others. However, let me warn you. Do not take the opportunity to question our liberal thinking because you are in for a fatal blow. Remember, Freethinkers take an easier approach because we do not have faith or believe in religion. You as the religion believer take the more difficult approach as you need to answer questions posed by us on the practicality of one’s believe.
I for one person do not believe in religion. I might have belief in God, but who is God first of all. Has anyone seen God? And why do we always regard God as a male? Why not a female? Nevertheless, you cannot negate the fact that there are scenarios and situations that cannot be explained by science. These mysteries can be found and read all over the internet. Most are dramas for entertainment purpose, but some are really true. For instance the Hindu idol Ganapthy drinking milk from a spoon. How on earth do you explain that? The climax of this mystery is that these Hindu idol Ganapathys around the world refused to take a drop more of milk pass noon on the 21st September 1995. Guys, I saw this phenomenon myself. Ecstatic!! Sathya Sai Baba takes out a Linggam (Idol of Lord Shiva in Hindu Mythology) from his mouth. Ok that one of course is untrue. In fact, there was a documentary by the British Broadcasting Center (BBC) about the whole fallacious act.
Nevertheless, there are circumstances that go beyond the theory of science. God is very objective for me. If you ask me do I believe in God, I would answer your question with a question, for instance do you believe in weather? When you discuss about weather, they say its Mother Nature so just let her do her wonders or disaster. Again in here, we are being sexist by generalizing Weather as a female. We never learn do we? So for me, God is just a word that human kind created so that we can all depend on God when none are to lend a helping hand. Most might raise an eyebrow reading the last sentence just now. Most might argue that I don’t pray to God only when I am in trouble or when I need something to happen, I pray to God all the time. Crap! You might be praying to God all the time, but when you want something to happen your way, you just pray harder and promise to give God something if he helps you through your troubles. This is bribing my friend. You are no better than our PDRM. You create the word God and then proceed to bribe him as well. Why don’t you just promise to yourself that you will get yourself some cool gift if things happen the way you wanted? It’s a false world you are living in.
Already God is beyond reality, and then we create religion. Religion my friends, I am totally against. Reason being of the wars and hypocrisy we see today. Israel is one religious affair which has been going on for ages. Jews claim Jerusalem is theirs, Christians claim it’s their holy city and Muslims claim Prophet Muhammad was there and 3 largest religions in the world come together to fight each other in the name of their religion and their God. Funny that when we have judicial system that takes into consideration the logic, practicality and motif behind a scene, we flush those aspects down the toilet when it comes to religion. We are living in one world with 2 different systems. The religious and the legal system. Just like in our Boleh Land, the syariah court and the civil court. Things are going to get out of hand if this is applied. In fact, this is already out of hand and almost way beyond repair.
Hypocrisy of the religionist is another aspect that makes me puke and hate the sight off. Now being a person who have read several Holy Scriptures / book which in some cases translated in English, I can assure you that from the different religious point of view, none teaches human kind immoral stuffs. They all teach us to be good, kind, caring, loving and all the 16 moral values we memorize for our Moral subject in SPM. However, to my surprise we do see religious fanatics that say aloud about the don’ts of ones’ religion to a field of believers but at the backyard of their homes’, they do the total opposite. You promise in the holy matrimonial culture to be one for one and yet you wag your tail when you see another opposite sex. You preach about not receiving or giving bribes, but you do the opposite behind the scenes. Who am I referring to? It’s for me to know and for you to find out.
I just cannot lay my faith on God or religion for that matter because of one thing only. I am unable to speak or see God. I would rather have faith on humans of which I can feel and speak. I would rather trust you who are reading this now. I would surely trust and lay faith in my parents who brought me into this world in the first place. You and I are living species in this world that can provide advice or feedback if we go through difficult times or even offer materialistic help when needed. These are tangible characteristic that I can see and feel good about when offered. Help doesn’t always come your way, you need to seek for help and who do you seek help? Not God, you seek help with the ones close to you. In your terms, they are your God. Flip back a few pages in your life history right now and remember who helped you when you really needed it, was it God? No, it was the person next to you when you were in a classroom, when you were in a lecture room, when you were in the living hall watching television, the person next to you at your office. These are the people you thank and remember for the rest of your life.
Allow me to share an experience my mom conveyed to me recently. Now my mom is an extremist when it comes to religious faith. Luckily she takes an approach of, it’s okay if you don’t have faith, just don’t ruin other people’s faith. I for one follow this carefully. Well, my mom and sis went to a devotional center recently to be involved in a religious talk of some sort. Everything went fine and they both left the center after the talk and headed home. Upon reaching home, my mom realized that her gold chain was missing. Knowing my mom or any women for that matter, she started to feel bad and was down questioning God why do you do this to me and all that drama. However, my sis taking the more practical approach, persuaded my mom to get in the car and start looking for the chain at the center, and so they did. Upon reaching the center and trying to look for the gold chain, my sis somehow found it on the grass field where the car was parked. With a happy and joyful look I presume, my sis gave the chain to my mom. The climax of the story is when my mom received the chain from my sis. Guess what, my mom thanked God. After the hard work my sis went through persuading my mom, and trust me it’s not a simple task to do so, my mom actually thanked God. I guess she did thank my sis, but she thanked God more.
The essence of the story above is thanking the people who helped you. Remember, the term God in this story would be my sister. Why? Do you need to be an old man with long white beard and an orange or white cloth covering his body to be God or claiming to be God like Swami Nityanandan? No such rule. If someone helped you when you really needed help, that someone is God to you. Be it a man, women, transgender or animal. A phrase in a recent Tamil Movie comes to my mind here. This was from the movie Dasavatharam by Kamal Hassan. Towards the end of the movie, the lead female actress and the lead male actor have this short conversation below:-
Note: The movie was taken in Tamil Language, but the below conversation is a translation in English
Lead Actress : …… But please, just don’t say that there is no God.
Lead Actor : I never did say that there is no God …. [5 seconds silence….].I just said it would be nice if there is one.
At the end of one’s life in this world, he, she or it doesn’t bring back what they possess materialistically back to the grave. They leave everything to the ones still living in this world and the one thing that matters most is the good old memories they fed you with. The memories when they came to you to lend a helping hand or even a shoulder to cry when times were difficult for you. Memories my friends last forever. God on the other hand, we would never know.
