Religions

They are great tools to keep people together and make them serve for one big aim. Some of them created kingdoms,empires and countries. The idea of another world is too fantastic for people who haven't found happiness in this world. At the same time it is a great solace for the poor,wretched people. Listening about real justice,equality,happiness,eternity,pleasure,joy briefly all these utopias so fantastic for silly people. This may be why people believe without ask about facts. Religions such a big hope,aim and common point for people to assemble. Belief was a great motivation during the age of wars. Under the name of god,fighting for one's country was an honorable and glorious death for a man. It worked well to recruit armies without any opposition and make people obey the rules

that declared by the emperors and the kings. Religion also was the answer for all unknown things. Earthquakes,tsunamis,volcanic eruptions,storms were punishments of the gods for the sins of people.
People feared,prayed and gave some gifts and sacrifices to make their angry gods happy again.
There are historical evidences some primitive people such as Aztecs,Celts..etc even sacrificed humans to get rid of bad spirits and misfortune.
Today,in the age of knowledge and communication,these fair tales are to simple to believe. Especially,who has a real self-respect. When people stop worshiping those imaginary things,they will see this life is a unique opportunity that you could ever had. Live your life and stop serving to make your imaginary lords happy. It'd be better to stop fighting and killing each other for those imaginary things.

what is God?

When I say "I don't believe in god" in a conversation,people often say : "What do you think about the universe?", "how did whole universe come to exist?,by the chance? " Well,they expect me to answer their questions. Okay but when I ask the same questions to them,I receive only one answer. "God created!!!"Of course it is not a satisfying answer to me. Indeed,how did god decide to create the universe? How did god find that power to create it? Is there anything which encouraged god to create the universe in this way? ......etc. I can ask infinite questions about this subject. And there is not a clear answer to my questions. Obviously The God is a supernatural,omnipotent,immortal thing which you can't ask or interrogate about it in believers' minds. They don't even try to ask themselves about status of god. He is such an untouchable object in their mind. Such a taboo which is not enough to explain existence of universe. In this case believers cannot ask me about existence of the universe,life...etc. Because I don't know. Maybe nobody knows. We people are too little,too small to answer the questions about this huge universe. We can't evaluate whole universe with the rules which we met on this earth. Earth in the universe is like a piece of sand in the desert. We may have a lot of way to understand the universe. Now we are just trying to find the answers one by one. Everyday inch by inch. This is why science exists.We will learn a lot of things and a lot of thing will be changed in the future. It is too early to accept unchangeable taboos to answer the questions.
