Buddha taught that believing in Gods was not useful for those who are seeking to realize enlightenment. Those who do not believe in God are called Atheist. Those who believe are called Theist. And those who are not sure of God are called Agnostic.
The world is not a place which has sunshine and rainbows all the time. It has dark clouds too. People who believe in God seek help from him to overcome the troubles. Those who don't they may believe in Fate, Destiny, Guts, Law of Karma or even in nothing. But if they do not believe in God they must not accuse him for the miss happenings.
That is the point today. Atheist are not staying atheist contrary they are turning "Anti-Theist". They accuse God for not being the true one. The concept is a dangerous precedent to social harmony, tolerance and even to the anti-theist person or jiva or pudgala.
What is the truth? Did Buddha know it? Is God there? Law of Karma works? What goes around comes around? All I know is you have to believe in something, it's OK if you believe in your Guts even.
Swami Vivekanand gave the concept of Daridra Narayan, it means service to poor is service to God. Certainly my God are the poor people in a manner, and to many as well. But do we do enough?

My quest for finding the truth will continue. I meet people and I ask them there belief in God. I believe in Soul of Universe, Law of Karma and an ardent believer of what goes around comes around. If I accept all this, people ask me that Law of Karma needs a Governor. That Governor has to be God. I maintain silence like Buddha. My discoveries for the truth goes on. People even argue that the biggest religion is Humanity and once you support Daridra Narayan you have to accept Humanity. But accepting Humanity is compromising Nationalism. Once you accept Humanity there are no boundaries. Nationalism demands the people of my country and there problems comes first. There interest is supreme than humanity.
Let me quote Rabindranath Tagore, "We should fight against that education which teaches us that nation is above the ideals of humanity". I don't completely agree or disagree. I would say instead, "To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society".
So, what is truth? Anti-Theist or Theist or Agnostic or Atheist or Daridra Narayan or Humanity or Nationalism or Law of Karma or Soul of Universe or Guts or Destiny or what?
