These days, I am reading this book by Christopher Hitchens, GOD IS NOT GREAT. I know many would be offended by the title of the book itself but I found it to be pretty logical and interesting.

I sometimes do and sometimes do not believe in God. The times when I do believe in God's existence are the times when I am scared, very very scared. These are the times when hopelessness prevails all around me. These are the times when I am under-confident.
But when I am confident, hopeful and motivated; this belief kind of fades away; and the questions start haunting me! The rational ones. The logical doubts, like this book says...

"God did not create man in his own image. Evidently, it was the other way about, which is the painless explanation for the profusion of gods and religions, and the fratricide* both between and among faiths, that we see all about us and that has so retarded the development of civilization."

...I am not an atheist, neither am I a believer! I have my doubts and questions. I would like to find the answers. Why do we need a religion? Why do people believe in god?

...I'L write more ... some other day..... :)

*Fratricide is the act of a person killing his or her brother.
