Mahabharata says, Gandhari cursed Srikrishna for his causing Kurukshetra war and hence destroyed him and his tradition. So Gandhari was powerful than Krishna. Then why should the Hindus worship Krishna? 62. What are the abilities of your God? [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<fb:share-button href="http://rationalthoughts.org/2010/03/23/my-100-questions-%e2%80%93-part-7/" type="box_count"></fb:share-button><h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>61.</strong> <strong> Hindus, if Gandhari could curse and destroy Krishna&#8217;s tradition,  was she not more powerful than Krishna?</strong></span></h1>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Mahabharata  says, Gandhari cursed Srikrishna for his causing Kurukshetra war and  hence destroyed him and his tradition. So Gandhari was powerful than  Krishna. Then why should the Hindus worship Krishna?</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>62.</strong> <strong> What are the abilities of your God? Can he make currency notes from  paper, if he can feed 5000 from 5 breads?</strong></span></h1>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">I am very much  interested to know the abilities and disabilities (if any) of the God  you worship</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>63.</strong> <strong> Help me to answer my child&#8217;s doubt: What is the qualification to become  God? How God has got his position?</strong></span></h1>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Because of  his innocence, my 10 year old child wishes to become God. He is ready  to sacrifice or learn anything for this purpose. But I don&#8217;t know how  it is possible. I don&#8217;t know what the present God has done for his  getting  that position. But it is not the child&#8217;s mistake to wish to get such  a position and thereby helping the whole universe. Everybody should  get equal chance to reach in a high position. Why the present God is  so greedy to his chair?</span></p>

<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>64.</strong> <strong> Tell me theists, how the God became a God. Was He/She having any  qualification  for that?</strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>65.</strong> <strong> Will you care if an ant prays to you for saving it? If not, then how  can you expect God will care yours?</strong></span></h1>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Big ones have  no time to listen the little ones. That is a truth we know. Still most  people pray. Is it not the first wonder in the world?</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>66.</strong> <strong> Do you agree that God is the cause of all the hereditary diseases?</strong></span></h1>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">It is  scientifically  proved that some diseases are hereditary. People say that God is our  forefather. So what is wrong in saying that he is the reason for such  diseases?</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>67.</strong> <strong> Why God has created wicked people, waiting to see them more wicked,  and cut their head finally? Is God Mad?</strong></span></h1>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Sisupal is  an example. If God has created him as a cruel person, it is God&#8217;s  mistake.  God could have changed his mind in the initial stages. It is God&#8217;s  mistake  waiting to see him more cruel and wicked. Lastly God has killed him.  That is also a mistake of God because killing is not a remedy for  eradicating  cruelty from this world. So my conclusion is, either God is Mad or Hi  is a pacca fool. What you say?</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>68.</strong> <strong> God will kill us as a farmer reaps the harvest. Farmer  sows to reap. God creates to take back.   What is the use of pray?</strong></span></h1>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">God is like  a farmer who destroys everything he sows. Our cry will not reach his  ears. Then why the hell religions ask us to pray?</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>69.</strong> <strong> Religious God creates lakhs of seeds for one to take birth. Is it not  enough to prove his inefficiency?</strong></span></h1>
<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>70.</strong> <strong> Answer this if you believe in soul. What happens to a soul inside the  operation theatre?</strong></span></h1>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">After giving  sedation, when the body is operated, can you explain what happens to  the soul inside it? If the soul is watching the operation as a third  person, why it could not able to remember it afterwards? Soul and mind  are one and the same, existed only when the brain is active. Is it not  the truth?</span></p>

Gita  has the concept of four castes (Chathurvarnyam).  So who has created  the other castes and religions?</strong></span></h1>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Hindu God  Krishna  said, &#8216;Chathur varnyam maya sritam&#8217;. OK, agreed. But who has created  the other castes in Hindu? And who has created Christians, Muslims etc?</span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>52. Theists  say God is beyond Logic. Then, how they have decided God&#8217;s existence?  Was it imagination or Logic?</strong></span></p>

<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>53.</strong> <strong> Theists say &#8220;God bless you&#8221;. But we see non-blessed in every  religion. Why?</strong></span></h1>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Did that God  has no power? One or two persons say &#8220;By God&#8217;s grace I passed the  examination&#8221;. But another 24 or 36 persons failed in that examination.  Are they not fit for God&#8217;s grace?</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>54.</strong> <strong> Don&#8217;t you know that killing will cause pain to animals? How will you  justify killing animals for food?</strong></span></h1>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">We have enough  vegetarian food in the world. Then why should you kill (or make others  killing) animals for food? If you are a believer of a kind hearted God,  stop the sin of eating his own children. If you are a rationalist, think   that pain is same to all creatures which have mind and brain (Excluding  plants) and stop killing your dear domestic animals for food.</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>55.</strong> <strong> When will people become civilized enough to stop eating meat while  Religions  failed to make them kind-hearted?</strong></span></h1>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">There is no  use of religion if it is not able to teach you to stop eating meat.  If God can not stop pain in the world, what is the use of pray? Are  you tiger or lion? Are you not civilized enough to avoid the painful  killing of animals for food? Will you agree if somebody eat your meat  telling that it is tasty and telling that God had created you for his  food? Why can&#8217;t you stop that dirty habit of making your stomach a  crematorium?</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>56.</strong> <strong> Why should human eat meat and make the stomach a crematorium? Why no  God comes to save the poor animals?</strong></span></h1>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Plants have  life but they don&#8217;t have brain to know pain. So please don&#8217;t compare.  Pain will be the same for humans and animals. What is your justification   in eating meat? If it is your taste, then human meat also may be tasty.  Dear Theists, please think that killing is a sin and desist from that  habit. Dear Atheists, please think that your cattle, goat, rabbit, etc.  believe in you. They come to you when you call them. They think you  are his owner and you will protect them. But you put the knife on its  neck! Are you lion or tiger? If it is painful to you, it will be the  same for them as well. So please desist from the habit of eating meat.  I want to know your justification in killing animals. Please keep in  mind that everybody will see your answer. So give the answer logically.</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>57.</strong> <strong> How can you claim your religion is good if it has not prevents you from  killing and eating innocent animals?</strong></span></h1>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Those who do  not believe in any religion may also give their justification in eating  meat. Pain is the same to all living things which had a brain to feel  it. Then why do you follow that cruel habit?</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>58.</strong> <strong> We know great people worked for humans. Do you know anybody worked for  animals which cannot give fees or fame?</strong></span></h1>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">I am not  talking  about dog lovers etc. But about such great personalities who give  importance  to all animals from ants to elephants. I hope a religious person cannot  think so.</span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>59.  Hindus are running behind everything to worship it. Do you agree with  these words of Swami Vivekananda?</strong></span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">Hindus could  not survive without worshiping something, he said. Was he right? </span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><strong>60.</strong> <strong> Why Muhammad couldn&#8217;t follow Jesus and Budha couldn&#8217;t accept Hinduism?  What was wrong with Christianity/Hinduism?</strong></span></h1>

		<description><![CDATA[Rama killed a sudraka who was in meditation, Sreeramakrishna performed rituals using meat. What ignorance? Harichandra also tried to kill a brahmin boy to escape from illness. See the ignorance of the religious beliefs. Why can't they think that killing is a sin?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<fb:share-button href="http://rationalthoughts.org/2009/12/10/my-100-questions-%e2%80%93-part-4/" type="box_count"></fb:share-button><p>31. If liberation is after death, how scholars came to know that? The dead never come back to tell it. How then? Religions tell to believe what they say. Even if nobody can experience it by searching it day and night, you will have to believe it. Religions tell to believe the non logic and untruth. 90% of the world believes what religion says. No creature under the sun has such a mis belief like humans have. Is it not a surprise?</p>
<p>32. Rama killed a sudraka who was in meditation, Sreeramakrishna performed rituals using meat. What ignorance? Harichandra also tried to kill a brahmin boy to escape from illness. See the ignorance of the religious beliefs. Why can&#8217;t they think that killing is a sin?</p>
<p>33. We take the essence of cane sugar and throw away the rubbish. In case of religion, people accept full. Why? Everything in nature, even if it is made by God as some believe, have essence and waste. But, when I point out the waste things in your religion, you will become angry. Is it good?<span id="more-94"></span></p>
<p>34. You are not sure about the shape and character of God and not sure about hell and heaven. Still pray blindly?</p>
<p>35. The nature of God is creating unnecessary and killing at the end. Then why should one pray?<br />
If our actions can please such a God, then the actions have a meaning. But from the well known Habit of God, it is evident that he will certainly kill all his children. The creation and destruction is a play of that cruel God. If anybody try to please him, he will be angry. He doesn&#8217;t like someone interfering that play. He likes the Atheists because they wouldn&#8217;t try to divert him. Am I right?</p>
<p>36. Before creation nobody had sin. Religions say God is Almighty. Why can&#8217;t He create people with good qualities?<br />
Dear Philosophers, Scientists, Rulers, Living Gods, Priests, Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Sikhs,&#8230;&#8230;.If your God had created people with kind heartiness, helping mentality, common sense, etc. when He starts the first creation itself, nobody will have sins. He is capable to do so since He is Almighty according to your Religions. In that case He need not strain to make hell and heaven. And need not take pain to take different Incarnations or send Sons, prophets etc. It is His mistake and we are not responsible for our sins. If I argue like this, what answer you have in support of your various beliefs?</p>
<p>37. Why some people are getting angry when I question their religious books/beliefs by simple logic?<br />
Bible, Gita or Quran contain 1 % truth and 99% false.</p>
<p>38. The basic concept of God in Bible, Gita &amp; Quaran is He is the Creator. If He was full, what was the necessity?</p>
<p>39. Why did one depend &#8216;Faith&#8217; to believe ones own religion while depends &#8216;logic&#8217; to criticise other Religions?</p>
<p>40. Can you answer the following data about God in your belief?<br />
1) Name of your God:<br />
2) Shapes/Forms like Man, Animal etc:<br />
3) Forms like Heat, Wind etc:<br />
4) Passions like kindness, love etc:<br />
5) Passions like angry, sadness etc:<br />
6) Abilities like Omnipresence, Omnipotence etc:<br />
7) Works/Duties like Creation, destruction etc:<br />
8 ) Knowledge like Science, Maths etc:<br />
9) knowledge like Languages, Astrology etc:<br />
10) Incarnations/sons/prophets like Krishna, Jesus, Muhammad etc</p>

		<description><![CDATA[ Is it not a mistake of Creator not placing devotional interest in the minds of creations like sexual interest?

This question has been put forward by a Saint to make us think on the subject and so please answer it seriously.
All people are attracted towards the opposite sex without any compulsion from parents or priests, without going to any coaching classes, without a pray in Churches/ Mosques/ Temples, that we know. If all were blessed with such a strong interest in devotion also, what were wrong?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<fb:share-button href="http://rationalthoughts.org/2009/11/07/my-100-questions-%e2%80%93-part-2/" type="box_count"></fb:share-button><p><strong>11. Is it not a mistake of Creator not placing devotional interest in the minds of creations like sexual interest?</strong></p>
<p>This question has been put forward by a Saint to make us think on the subject and so please answer it seriously.<br />
All people are attracted towards the opposite sex without any compulsion from parents or priests, without going to any coaching classes, without a pray in Churches/ Mosques/ Temples, that we know. If all were blessed with such a strong interest in devotion also, what were wrong?</p>
<p><strong>12. Do you think that chanting God&#8217;s names will give you benefit? Please tell me how it works?</strong></p>
<p>In every Religion, we see chanting OR holy bath OR pilgrimage OR fasting as a custom. But we know frogs are also chanting something. What is the difference? The people living nearby holy river Ganga take bath everyday in it. Are they benefited? We see people die in accidents while they attend pilgrimage. We see beggars fasting almost every day. Are they also be benefited?</p>
<p><strong>13. Life is not Christian, not Muslim, not Hindu. Body also has no religions, then why do we fight for religion?</strong></p>
<p>God has not given anything special physically to identify a Christian from a Hindu or a Muslim from a Buddhist. He was able to do that if he desires so. He has given a trunk to the Elephant, wings to the birds etc. to differentiate them from other species. But see people all over the world quarrelling each other claiming that their religion is good and other religions are small. What nonsense?<span id="more-52"></span></p>
<p><strong>14. What is the difference between the life of a theist and that of an atheist</strong>?</p>
<p>We see good &amp; kind hearted people leading a peaceful life among non believers and rough &amp; worried people among believers, and vice-versa. Can we tell any specialty or achievement in a believer? He spends more time and money for his rituals but what he gets in return?</p>
<p><strong>15. Do the departed souls need food to survive &amp; shelter to live in peace? If so, how they receive our offerings?</strong></p>
<p>In death anniversaries of parents, people offer some food believing that souls will receive it. Since the souls have no physical body, do they really need food? It is a known fact that if we offer food by chanting some slogans, even our living father sitting nearby, is neither getting it nor his hunger being stopped. Then how his soul will get it in the sky after his death?</p>
<p><strong>16. Who was ruling this Universe before the existence of your God?</strong></p>
<p>If you believe in Karma theory, how it is possible to take birth in the first time, since there was no Karma in the previous birth!</p>
<p><strong>17. What were the hobbies of your God before he starts creation?</strong></p>
<p>Unnecessarily creating people, not providing sufficient infrastructure and killing them at the end, that is his hobby after the creation. But can you explain what was he doing before the creation?</p>
<p><strong>18. How can we believe that we can influence God? Is it fair to influence him?</strong></p>
<p>Please help to clear my doubt. I don&#8217;t know even to influence my Chief Minister or Chief Justice. Then how can I believe that I can influence God by doing some rituals? Moreover is it fair on my part?</p>
<p><strong>19. ‘One caste, one religion, one God’- What is the one cast? What is the one religion? What is the one God? Is it yours or mine?</strong></p>
<p>Narayana Guru&#8217;s above teaching was criticised by Brahmananda Swami Sivayogi. Do you agree with Sivayogi?</p>
<p><strong>20. How the 18 chapters of Gita were finished before the short interval of war? Was the war stopped for 1 or 2 days for teaching Gita?</strong></p>
<p>I am surprised how Lord Krishna explains all those hard philosophies to Arjuna in the middle of kurukshtra war. Anybody thinking like me will get the answer please?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<fb:share-button href="http://rationalthoughts.org/2009/11/04/my-100-questions-part-1/" type="box_count"></fb:share-button><p>1.<strong> We select everything by checking them good or bad. But why did we select Religion without a check?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong><br />
2. <strong>Is God having a necessity for the creation?</strong><br />
Creation starts when necessity arises. But God is Almighty, religion says. He has no necessity for anything. Then why did he create the Universe? Is he Mad? Or is he a fool?<br />
3. <strong>Why should we pray to God?</strong><br />
How much long we pray, God will never come and take us to the other side. It is our duty to walk and reach the other side. God will never come and brush our teeth. It is also our duty to clean our teeth and mind. Then why should one pray?<span id="more-20"></span><br />
4. <strong>God didn&#8217;t help Jesus or Arjuna in trouble, then how can He help us?</strong><br />
Jesus Cried of pain when he was punished in the holy cross- &#8220;Oh! God, help, help&#8221;. But God didn&#8217;t answer his pray.<br />
In Hindu Mythology also Krishna didn&#8217;t help Arjuna in his last hours.<br />
Then how can we believe that God will help us?<br />
5. <strong>How Nishkama karma possible as mentioned in Gita? Can there be an action without a wish?</strong><br />
There will not be a Karma(action) without a Kama(wish). If one pours water on an inverted pot, we call him Mad. Even a Mother&#8217;s love to her child had a wish behind that is to get happiness out of it. We are taking breath unknowingly, but sill it has a Kama &#8216;to live&#8217;. Similarly, to every action there will be a wish behind. Then, how did Krishna, the Hindu God advice Arjuna to do the war without thinking the result? He was cheating Arjuna, actually. Krishna had a wish behind the war. That was to make the Pandavas ruling the Kingdom, Hastinapura. What nonsense! Krishna can have a wish but others cannot! Any scholars of Gita can give me the answer to this?<br />
6. <strong>What is meant by liberation? And who needs it, the Body, Mind or the Soul?</strong><br />
From the books of Vedanta, I could understand that Liberation is Mukti. But Mukti is from what? Please note that I do not believe in Rebirth. Also, the Vedanta says Body is not eternal, it is Naswara. Mind is also Anatma according to the theory of Vedanta. And the Soul is always liberated. So I am confused. Please help me to know which of the three needs liberation?<br />
7. <strong>Why did Jesus, Allah, Vishnu or any Gods could not invent a Computer, Mobile phone, Train or an atom Bomb?</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong><br />
8. <strong>How the sacrifice can please God? Is He a sadist?</strong><br />
Almost in all Religions, sacrifice has an important roll. Christ, Mohammed, Budha, Rama are examples. Fasting is a common sacrifice in Hindu and Muslim Religions. Is it not a Ragging? Smashing ones own head also can please God?<br />
9. <strong>Which Religion can convert an Atheist into a believer?</strong><br />
Friends, I am an Atheist. I could not follow blind beliefs. Someone help me to convince me logically or by their prayers that there is a Creator God. Atleast they help me to shift the black mole in my left arm to my right arm by their prayers. I heard their God can do such miracles. I will be thankful to them and am ready to accept their religion.<br />
10. <strong>Why the Omnipotent God needs a prophet, son or incarnation to save people?</strong><br />
Why can&#8217;t he change the world by a fractional thought?<br />
Why can&#8217;t he make the world free from all sins?<br />
If he did either of these two, then he need not take pain to send his son, prophet or take different incarnations again and again.<br />
Shall we conclude that God is not omnipotent?</p>
