God and middle men

I used to be an aestetic during skool life and ne er questioned anything. I can confidently blame people around me including a bitch (was a teacher) who voiced their opinions rite on my face...like i asked teh castrated bastards wat they thot or not...hell they jus walked and started talking like it was their damned business. This caused my drift from my religious beliefs and led to articles like teh one written below :

Science vs. Religion

Science is a term used in its broadest meaning to denote systematized knowledge in any field, but applied usually to the organization of objectively verifiable sense experience. The pursuit of knowledge in this context is known as pure science, to distinguish it from applied science, which is the search for practical uses of scientific knowledge, and from technology, through which applications are realized. One of the major branches of science is Physics.

“Physics is a major science, dealing with the fundamental constituents of the universe, the forces they exert on one another, and the results produced by these forces. Sometimes in modern physics a more sophisticated approach is taken that incorporates elements of the three areas listed above; it relates to the laws of symmetry and conservation, such as those pertaining to energy, momentum, charge, and parity.”

This is the exact definition of physics in an encyclopaedia or any other book of knowledge. But according to me, physics is nothing more than a number of questions punctuated in between with complex words like those mentioned in the above piece of information. The definition of science given above is also utter nonsense. Physics is closely related to the other natural sciences and, in a sense, encompasses them. Everything around us involves science in some form or the other. A good science student is one who has mastered the art of questioning thoroughly but also has seen the true face of science in whatever he or she is doing.

Regarding the topic that I have chosen to type about, science and religion are totally different aspects of life. Even though I am not an atheist, I don’t believe in many customs in any of the religions present today (not that I believe in people who PREACH* science also.) Many customs prevalent today are quite senseless and so unintelligible that those who follow any certain religion do it very blindly. Most people who do many a ritual during the course of a year do not understand what they do and they do better not do such rituals. They just follow the instructions of a man who draws money from them in the name of God.

Some of the other silly customs are not to lie down during the evenings and also not to keep the door open during evenings. Our elders just show us a very old picture of a person donned in a dhoti and attired with a lot of jewels and a light behind his head and say he is God. Have they seen him before for themselves? They also have been showed the same picture and been told that he is God.

The imagination of God by an aesthetic is almost equivalent to a blind man’s vision of another man, as no one has seen God before. In the temples they tell us to say something in Sanskrit in front of a stone carved to a specific shape indicating it as God and giving the stone a specific name.

On the other hand, science is very, very, very, very, very, very, very different from religion. There is no place for blind belief in science and everything has to be questioned and analyzed before accepting it. An air of skepticism should always be floating over a science student. Everything that is said by a person has to be experimented and doubted before even believing it. One more important point about science is to understand the fundamentals thoroughly even before talking about science as they lay the foundation of the entire skyscraper that is science.

* (Those who preach science are those who just teach science but do not answer those students who ask any questions to them! I guess they themselves don’t understand what they are trying to convey)

Knowledge is not Science!

Use of bombastic terms is not science!

Information is not Science!

What is around you that you don’t know and which you want to know is Science!

My irritation and rebuttal to such talks mentioned before the aricle were these verbal outbursts and visual displays of atheism. But one thing was that i began doubting religion and customs. Even though i accepted the presence of a central being as God but then lost interest in customs and beliefs. Sadly, those who do follow customs r a dying breed now. The neo priests hav other aims when they decide to take up this line of work. Invariably most priests become totally money minded and extort as much as they possibly can..alrite i do agree they do need to make a living but then their actual intentions shudnt waver so much...my bitter experience in a temple where in i gav for archanai..the priest subtly hinted tht i needed to put some money on teh plate by saying "vaera onnum kadaiyaadha?"...i ignored this and walked out..the bitch (God forgive me) called me back and asked me to put some money on the plate. He even had the audacity of citing a similarity wherein we spend money when we go to a hotel. He was able to lower himself to this level to literally asking me to give him some money atleast. Even though some of the money goes to the temple i hav noticed that all teh money from the plate going into a separate bag only..i cudnt help but wish i had given all the money to teh handicapped beggar sitting outside teh temple..lol wat difference wud that make in this case? Stuff like births and deaths in a family automatically signal for mobilisation of funds to pay these priests...lol nowadays priests also go on foreign trips to serve in temples present out of India...thats quite some money involved..their entire sty is sponsored by flithy rich and religious NRIs...
