Need of a God



To believe in the existence of a God is not only necessary because it is a fact, but also because it is a necessity!
Why ?
Because if humans stop believing in a God, nothing can stop them from sinning in their solitude.
It is the concept of God which keeps you from sinning when nobody's watching, otherwise, sure so many people appear 'good' to the world, as part of the culture, due to their ego and super-ego, no one wants to be labelled a 'bad' or 'wrong' person - but when it comes to the deeds which are unknown to the rest of the world, what can stop you from sinning if not GOD ???
Today, many people curse religion for all the corruption they find among people... but if there have been no religion, the level of corruption had been far greater than today.. because once you stop believing that there is no one to punish you or to do justice with you, then you would never bother to stop yourself from sinning while no one's watching. Many people argue to it that do we not have our conscience with us? which stops us from wrong deeds and distinguishes right from wrong by itself? But I do not agree... Even though on a primary level our conscience does tell us to do good and refrain from evil, but unless there are strong motivational factors, a human would not want to listen to his conscience.
A very clear example of this fact is that rate of crimes are high in countries where law and order forces are weak. If people know that they can easily get away after committing crimes, they would resort to crimes more often. People stop themselves from crimes because they know they might end up in jail... me or you, if we come to know that no one will punish us or label us bad if we rob a bank, then surely we would go ahead and rob a bank sometime in our life if we're in bad financial crisis or maybe just for fun or to be richer. . . If there had been no religion and no belief in an all-Powerful God, then everyone would think this way and will resort to sins.
And it is only this reason that so many sins and crimes are taking place in the world today. So many people who label themselves with the name of their religion, have atheistic believes deep down because in reality they don't have a true belief in God or religion. Their belief is only confined to their tongues, something they have been taught and fed all their childhood, but they do not actually believe them the way they should. It is just like the belief in death. Every human on earth knows that death is a reality, but how many of us strongly believe in the fact that it is nearing us ? How many of us keep death in mind while making important decisions ? All our lives we are forgetful of death despite of the fact that its such a huge reality... Why is it so ? It is because even though we believe in death, we never give proper time to understanding it, and when you do not know and understand a thing, you can not have a strong belief in it. When you never ponder over it, when you never care about it, when you prefer to know about other things and neglect to ponder upon death because you think theres a lot of time for that... then how can you accept it and have firm belief in it?
Same is with religion and God, just a so-called belief is not enough, we will have to give proper time to understanding these issues, investigating them, questioning them and once we're sure they're the Truth, only then can we really believe in them. A true and informed belief in God is one that can transform man from animal to angel, nothing else can do that.
If there was no faith in God, the world's 99% population will be corrupt and 1% will be non-corrupt but still those one percent also wont be angelic, unless only in comparison.
People say that there are a hundred religions out there which means that the existence of God is just a man made theory. If thre are a 100 theories regarding a phenomenon, even in science, only ONE can actually be TRUE. Therefore, the number of religions and their various beliefs does not mean that the TRUTH does not exist in any of them.
And the method of choosing the right religion is same as finding the right scientific theory: through investigation, going through the toil of research and experiment!
No one can be born on a certain religion, you have to impose it on you after investigation only! because only then can it become YOUR BELIEF. Otherwise believing blindly staying on what you're parents were on is against human intellectual standards and religiously useless.
