subject: To Believe or Not to Believe in God: The Most Important decision for Man [print this page] The Most Important Decision for Man: Choosing between Belief and disbelief in God
To Believe or not to believe in God, This is the Question.
There can be no more important and no more decisive decision for man to make, in his entire life, than the choice between belief and disbelief in God.There is Absolutely no one proof for the existence or the non-existence of God. Proof in either way would simply result in mankind going on their knees or complete denial.
A State of no-proof for either position leaves the entire responsibility for man to decide. But this state throws man right into the clutches of suspense. It put man inside the suspense of doubt.
It has led so many people nearly four billions of humans today, not counting the forefathers, to reject belief and reject the existence of a God.
It has led the other party of humanity today, nearly three billions in a state of uncertain belief.
The whole stake of the dilemma is the very point of lack of proof.
Imagine that there is a proof for God's existence, then all humans would believe, worship this God, pray to this God and the game is over.
Imagine the opposite, that there is a proof for the non-existence of God, then all humans would deny God and the game is over.
But, This is not the case. No proof and no one individual person can either assert or deny with evidence.
Furthermore, and what complicates the question even more, those who believe, find pretexts strong enough for their position in the same universe where those who disbelieve find. in the same universe, strong arguments in support for their position.
It becomes even more complicated when skeptics enter the picture and annihilate the question altogether by insisting precisely on lack of proof to suspend the issue once and for all.
Further, there is no one solid argument in support of wither postulates, God exists or does not exist.
Atheists and agnostics do not refrain from annulling the arguments of those who believe.
From Tut Ankh Amon, who believed in one God, God of the sun, Aristotle, who asserts the Necessity of God as a Prime Mover of things', to St. Paul and St Augustine, and Thomas Aquinas, passing By Descartes, Pascal, Leibniz and Kant, considering God as a Moral Necessity', these argue for the existence of God. No one solid argument is offered by these thinkers.
On the other hand, from Ramsis the Second who took himself for God, to Buddha Siddhartha Gautama, to Confucious, to Nietzsche, Russell, Sartre and the Cambridge scientist
Stephen Hawking, who declared the unnecessity for God for the Big Bang Hypothesis and that Matter has produced itself by itself, and a host of other thinkers, they all rejected the existence of God and completely so, fighting against it with their tools of their craft, whether philosophy or science.
Religion, all religions whose main thesis is God is, do not offer one proof for the existence of God.
Belief or disbelief is left entirely for every individual person. The three major religions assert with certainty the presence of one God. God the creator, God the eternal, God All Mighty and God the Merciful.
It is rather that the three major religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, although maintaining strongly the existence of God, they all give the choice to humans to make their decisions to believe or disbelieve in what these religions have proclaimed.
We are indeed facing a great dilemma of oppositional paradox where there is no evidence is provided but a decision has to be made.
Our claim that a Decision has to be made is furnished by the evidence that every person faces the question whether or not God exists and every one is obliged to make a choice and take his, or her, final decision.
We enter life without a decision and leave it having made the decision. Before dying every single person must make this decision, by obligation. No one escapes it.
Skeptics or annihilators or the doubtful or those who did not make a decision, they all have made their decision, they denied God for they did not accept his existence. These leave this life having made their choice not to believe in God.
In religion the whole idea of being for humans is based on this very question whether man believes or disbelieves.
The decision of man to choose freely between the two options consists in man's purpose for being.
Religion asserts that humans on a last day shall be put to death only to be resurrected to account for their own decision, whether to believe in God or not.
All humans shall be judged according to this very criterion.
Then two great categories of humans shall be formed, those who believe and those who do not.
According to the decision of every individual he, or she, shall be rewarded or punished. If man believes, religious texts assert, then he shall gain eternal felicity and those who did not believe in their worldly life shall be habitants of Hell fire to abide therein for ever.
All hangs on the choice between belief and disbelief in God in this world, according to monotheistic religions.
Well, should this be the case then man's decision of choice is the most important decision in his entire life.
But most humans do see this. They are busy with their worldly affairs, but they all have to make a decisionat one timein their lives.
