41. 100 people say 101 different answers about their concept of God to my last question, why?

Being an Atheist, I am neutral to all religions. I can accept God if everybody give the common answer. Please help.
42. In your belief, what to pray, when to pray, where to pray, whom to pray, will it be answered in this life?

1) What to pray if He knows everything?
2) When to pray if He is always within you?
3) Where to pray if He is everywhere?
4) Whom to pray if He is duff and dumb? That is if He has no ears, brain, conscious, mind, or passion?
5) If it will be answered after death, what is the use.? If the doctor says to take the medicines in this life and the cure will be in next birth, will you agree?
43. For what reason God created Man on Earth itself when other planets are available in different galaxies?What makes the Earth different from other planets?
44. Was your God naked before he created cotton, silk or elastic on earth? Why he had created atheists?

How can your God wear underwear without using elastic or cotton? Atheists are creating problems to God and his believers by raising such difficult questions. Why can’t he remove us from earth?
45. What prevents God creating people in all planets and make them worshiping him?

Then He can be more proud and happy. Moon, Venus etc. are vacant.
46. Theists, can you define God? Is it real or imaginary? Atheists, can you agree with their definition?

Without knowing definition, how can we say it exists or not? Tell me please. I am neutral to hear from both of you.
47. Do you believe in Kummanandy? You will ask what is it. Do you believe in God? Why can’t you ask what is it?

Define God not more than five sentences in your belief. Then only one can decide whether to believe it or not. Is it not the correct way?
48. Who is important, Police or God? Why did the police give protection to God in Temples?

You say God protects and saves you and go to temples to pray. But in temples, the police protect and save God? So, tell me Theists, who is important, Police or God?
49. If God appears before you and ask your left hand thumb, will you cut it and give him with a smile?

People say faith has no need of logic. That is why I ask this question.
50. Krishna said He is the father of Universe. But He starts war to kill Kowravas. Is it the father’s dharma?

Kowravas also are his sons as He is the father of Universe. Why He should wait and see them becoming wicked, and killing them in war? If He is Almighty, He can very well change their mind and convert them good people. If Krishna has a Boss, wouldn’t he put Krishna in hell for this crime?

I don’t care if it rains or freezes
Long as I have my plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through my trials and tribulations
And my travels through the nations
With my plastic Jesus I’ll go far

Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
I’m afraid he’ll have to go
His magnets ruin my radio
And if I have a wreck He’ll leave a scar

Riding down a thoroughfare
With his nose up in the air
A wreck may be ahead but he don’t mind
Trouble coming He don’t see
He just keeps his eye on me
And any other thing that lies behind

Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Though the sunshine on His back
Make Him peel, chip and crack
A little patching keeps Him up to par

When pedestrians try to cross
I let them know who’s boss
I never blow the horn or give them warning
I ride all over town
trying to run them down
And it’s seldom that they live to see the morning

Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
His halo fits just right
And I use it for a sight
And they’ll scatter or they’ll splatter near and far

When I’m in a traffic jam
He don’t care if I say “damn”
I can let all sorts of curses roll
Plastic Jesus doesn’t hear
For he has a plastic ear
The man who invented plastic saved my soul

Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Once His robe was snowy white
Now it isn’t quite bright
Stained by the smoke of my cigar

If I weave around at night
And the police think I’m tight
They’ll never find my bottle though they ask
Plastic Jesus shelters me
For his head comes off you see
He’s hollow and I use Him for a flask

Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Ride with me and have a dram
Of the blood of the Lamb
Plastic Jesus is a holy bar.

["Plastic Jesus", circa 1969, sign-on song of disk jockey Don Imis
Attributed to Ed Rush and George Cromarty, members of the Goldcoast
Singers, who adapted it from older Black camp-meeting song.
