WHY GOD IS AN ATHEIST
WHY GOD IS AN ATHEIST
SUB THEME – Questioning the Question of God
Look, before raising the question of whether God exists or not, our primary question should be: who do we consider God to be? “In popular discourse,” where people view things not just in a single dimension, but let’s say in two or three dimensions, they understand and associate the idea of God more or less with faith.
Or, if they still don’t grasp it on the first or second level, then the idea of God is essentially about who they believe in. Because the initial question is whether we say that God created the world, or whether we say that the world existed and came into being due to the Big Bang or whatever scientific theories you’re studying in geography. And then, afterward, God controls it. Or you might say that God created the world, and that shifts the debate away from existence and towards whether you believe in God.
It’s also possible that God exists for someone—like someone might say that God created the world but isn’t controlling it—while another person might say that God didn’t create the world but still controls it. And in both of these hypotheses, it’s not necessarily the case that if one aspect is proven, we’ll believe in God. A person could say, “Yes, God exists, and He created and controls the world, but I still don’t believe in Him or His creation.”
And that’s why, if we talk about the universe, then this question will metaphysically step aside from debating God’s existence. Instead, we’ll connect our own existence to it and ask the question: what do we actually consider God to be?
Humans consider God as something to believe in, and the person who believes in gods sets up boundaries around themselves. Whoever creates these limits, that becomes their faith. And I think having at least one boundary is essential; otherwise, a person might just keep running freely in an open field inconsequentially.
So when we say “God is an atheist,” it means that all these boundaries are human-made, and they do not exist in reality.
Once we die, everything will come to an end. We might experience things, we might create and achieve great things in the world, but in the end, we’ll die. And even if the world remembers us, it won’t matter if we don’t know what we’re being remembered for. We won’t be aware of it. And eventually, when the entire world ends, nothing will remain, and it won’t impact anyone else.
So whether God exists or doesn’t exist, it isn’t really the question; the real question is whether you believe in God or not.
And even if God does exist, there will still be people who don’t believe in Him. For instance, even if you prove that God exists, that He created the world and controls it, some people will still say, “I don’t believe in God.” So the form of God is found in faith, and faith can manifest in many ways. My faith can be personal, it can be private, it can influence others, or it can even be restrictive.
My boundaries can be set, and I might say, “You need to shrink your boundaries to fit mine.” Different religions grant different levels of freedom, and some are more restrictive than others, but there’s no religion that truly says, “You are completely free.” Religion comes from the Latin word religare, which means to bind or tie back.
“God is an atheist,” and that essentially means that God hasn’t created any boundaries or limits for anyone, including Himself. If you look at any scripture—whether it’s the Mahabharata, the Gita, the Bible, the Quran, or anything else—you’ll see that everything changes with time and has been adapted through different versions.
There are no fixed rules set in stone. For example, there’s a famous saying that “truth is one, but sages express it in many ways,” and interpretations evolve over time. When the age of Kaliyug arrives, things change, and so on. Ultimately, the boundaries you set are your own, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it’s essential in some sense.
So in the end, God is an atheist, right? We’re considering God as an entity, metaphysically, but ultimately, it’s about whether we choose to believe or not. It’s like seeing a wall and deciding whether to believe in it or not. Philosophy, in the end, even questions human existence itself, so you can raise questions anywhere.
But the real question is: why are we asking these questions at all? There are so many questions, but why do we ask them? We ask about God because we want to know who created the world and us, or we ask about God because we want to know who controls and regulates it.
We might say, “God created it but doesn’t manage it,” or we might say, “It came into being through science and is now controlled by natural laws.” But ultimately, we ask whether God exists or not so that we can have something to believe in.
We all need to believe in something—whether it’s that we were born into a family and trust our parents to care for us, even if we know that exceptions exist. That’s still a form of faith: we trust them with our decisions. And so, in the end, we create our own boundaries, and that’s what it comes down to.
So when we say that God is an atheist, it essentially means that God hasn’t set any boundaries for us. Whether God exists or not, He remains, in a way, a non-believer or a nonconformist. But the truth is that if God exists, He does not have to compete with anyone like humans have to. So whether He conforms or does not conform, it doesn’t matter at all.
GOD IS A HERETIC, THEN.
He doesn’t impose any specific beliefs. That’s what this idea means, and it shows that this debate can be pointless in a sense. The debate is pointless because we often don’t ask the fundamental question: why are we asking these questions in the first place?
Most people want to know if God exists or not just because they want to be heretics or conformists. They have already decided their alternative and come to read this article with a predisposed notion. This isn’t about philosophers, but about the general public who are debating whether to believe or not.
But why do we even need to believe in something? If we need to set boundaries, we do so based on our own existence and our environment. In that sense, God’s existence isn’t the core issue—it’s about whether we choose to believe.
If your father exists, do you believe everything he says? Not necessarily. If your mother exists, do you believe and follow everything she says? Not always. And even if you exist, do you follow every thought that comes to your mind? Sometimes you do, sometimes you don’t. So why should we believe in God? Ultimately, it’s about the choice we make.
MAYBE CHOICES ARE THE ONLY GOD THAT EXISTS FOR THE TIME BEING.
And if you really want to ask this question for its own sake and consider God a supernatural entity who will solve everything, then my question to you is: why do you think that any supernatural entity exists?
Have you ever seen any supernatural entity? And if you haven’t seen one, then why do you think God can be one? And if you have seen one, what makes God different from those?
And if you still consider God a different supernatural entity with more monopoly over His power, does a supernatural entity have the capacity to do everything right, tell everything right, and solve all your problems? Does it really have that capacity?
Secondly, when we say that God is an atheist, it also means that there is no God that follows a religion. We can believe in God, but whom should God believe in? Does God believe in us? I don’t think God believes in us. And if He does, what compels Him to believe in a species like us? He might pick animals, plants, or birds.
And now I will tell you why I asked this question: does God believe in us? If we talk about worldly things, as I gave you an example, you believe in your parents and believe that your parents will think right about you and will always be by your side.
So your parents must also believe in you. Your parents must also think, while raising you, that in old age, their child will be their support. So your parents believe in you, and you believe in your parents.
So if belief flows only one way—that we believe in God as a supernatural entity and God does not believe in us—then what kind of faith is this?
Then it is not faith, but a kind of dependence created to escape fear from worldly things. And that answers your question of why God is an atheist: because He does not fear worldly things, because He does not belong to this world.
