Do you believe God and evil power exists? Explain?
Existence of God and evil power are religious concepts imbibed by the majority of people from the culture or environment in which we live. We often observe that the majority of individuals follow the religious beliefs of their parents or grandparents. Most of us do not engage in comperative studies on this subject but rather blindly follow the faith in which we are born.
As for my religious journey, I was born into a monotheistic family but I later shifted towards an atheistic ideology, and later shifed to agnosticism. Currently, I identify myself as an agnostic, which means that I am skeptical about the existence of God and evil powers.
Now, let me explain why I consider myself as an agnostic rather than atheist. There are many aspects of life that science cannot explain, and it often happens that things mentioned in religious scriptures from centuries ago are discovered through scientific studies later on. On the other hand, when I witness the sufferings people encounter in terms of health, finances, and other worldly struggles, I find it hard to believe that God can be unjust or do injustice to anyone. Therefore, I doubt the concept of God and evil forces.
Have you ever felt any supernatural power? Describe.
I have never personally felt any supernatural power, but I have heard numerous stories from people, including some in my own family, about supernatural events. Additionally, one can find claims of supernatural occurrences on platforms like social media, such as YouTube.
To understand what supernatural power refers to and why it is experienced by some but not all, we need to consider the individuals claiming these experiences. I have observed that those who claim to have witnessed or experienced supernatural powers, like telekinesis, telepathy, astral projection, precognition, or elemental control, often possess religious mentalities and beliefs. It seems that their lack of scientific knowledge about these phenomena makes them susceptible to deception and manipulation by others or their surroundings.
Last year, I was disturbed by the claims made by someone who published a YouTube video on necromancy. Necromancy is a supernatural power wherein someone claims to have the ability to communicate with the spirits of the deceased. The video took advantage of the emotions surrounding the suicide of a famous actor named Sushant Singh Rajput. The media in our country began character assassination of his girlfriend and blamed her for his murder. Exploiting the sentiments of people, someone posted a video on YouTube claiming to communicate with the actor's ghost and attempting to ask him about his murder. This video got millions of views online, and those who lacked scientific temperamen and those who were superstitious believed it showcased genuine supernatural power. However, I had doubts about the credibility of the video right from the start.
Share your perspective about the power of God and Evil
Having mentioned earlier that I currently consider myself as an agnostic who is skeptical about the existence of God and evil, I am open-minded about this debate and willing to understand the helplessness and limitations of the human mind and knowledge when it comes to certain phenomena that cannot be explained scientifically and are attributed to God in the case of good and evil.
I believe that evil is somewhat a result of our actions or events occurring in our surroundings. Regarding the concept of evil, I find appropriate logic in almost everything, and it doesn't bother me much. However, when it comes to the powers of God, science is yet to explain everything, which has led to skepticism growing within me about it.
