Does God exist or not? Man has been posting this question for thousands of years. The question itself is the child of a confrontation between those who believe and others who don't. But what's the truth? Before answering this question, one needs to understand how the concept called God has cometo play such a dominant role in man's life.
Let us begin with understanding our gods, the Hindu God, the Muslim God, the Christian God to mention a few. Everyone of these gods is omnipotent. They're supposed to have performed miracles and saved humanity from crises in the distant past.Believers who look upto them will tell you their gods stil have the capacity to perform such feats. So, psychologically speaking, it seems man is ready to bestow anyone with the status of a god if He/She can save him from trouble. Also majority of the believers are reminded of their gods only in the times of misery coz we always look upto some1 for strength and support whom we consider is stronger than us .. Hence, it wouldn't be wrong to assume gods are the children of misery. For a happy man who celebrates every moment of his life would hardly require any god. Even if he prayers or performs some religious rites daily, he does so with the reason being that his life should go on smoothly and not have ups and downs even when everyone knows that there is no escape from them.One has to face them at some time or the other..He needs God only when life metes out a raw deal. So, ironically, it won't be an exaggeration to say, gods and Maoists thrive on the same soil: the soil from which the plants of poverty, famine, pestilence greed and war sprout. Gods can profit from their business because everything is in a state of flux.
