There are countless reasons to believe in God. For someone not to choose is out of pride and usually because of not receiving something prayed for in his childhood. Almighty, the creator has given free will to whether believe in him or not. There are people who believe god as a fictional character, a fabricated hero to make people believe to adopt a sense of responsibility for the human race. And then there are those who believe as God as one created this universe and is in everything from material to spiritual and everything moves as per his wish. There exist people who do not believe in the existence of God but still believe in creating peaceful ways to be adopted for the smooth running of the human race. But there are others who want to see the world to run according to their own whims and principles. They even try to express/manipulate the religions according to their own philosophy and propagate for the better results in Jannat i.e. in Heaven or promises to receive on Doomsday which no body, in present generation or many generations to come may ever see . As the believers say that God did not want to be called dictator to have forced man to believe in him or his creations and never forced any one to take this or that type of life style or food leaving all such choice on him as per his/her suitability and will. One is forced to think that bestowing animals with crooked nails and sharp teeth might have been purposefully given to be meat eaters. Such type of species can’t be expected to be grass or fruit eaters until and unless some other explanation comes in. The bigger fish swallows the small ones and bigger trees never allow smaller ones to grow under its shade to create a balance which some way or somewhere is felt necessary in the existence of universe by nature. In a way, the theory of existence of one or another seems to have been in existence in its own territory because same law of existence is applied differently when human race help to grow their kids in its own care. Like God created light and absence of it pushes us to darkness. Similarly good and bad, noble and cruel, failure and success, happiness and sorrow etc. have to happen in order to explain their respective existence and philosophy in the absence of each other.
God has created humanity with the ability to choose. This means that we are not forced into a relationship with Him. He allows us to reject Him and to commit evil acts as well. He could force us to be loving or to be good, but then what kind of relationship would we have with Him? It would not be a relationship at all, but a forced and absolutely controlled obedience. Instead He gave us the human dignity of free will. God didn’t create human as robots but he gave a choice to eat fruits that came from the Tree of the Knowledge for Good and Evil (to choose) which create their respective consequences thereafter. God did not force Eve and Adam to eat Apple which opened the Pandora box for the evils in future for man kind. These are just the titbits. Unless you understand and be able to take decision other than what people tell you because even believers don’t understand what they preach sometimes. Why good one suffer and the other doing opposite gets all the worldly benefits giving some strange precedence making them to follow for the race to come. Parmahansa Yogananda had tried to explain in one of question answer session “It is impossible to define God and since he is the author of this cosmic drama every page of this book of cosmic drama is filled with inexplicable mysteries which will ultimately be solved in the last act of the cosmic play. Only devotees who are in tune with God are allowed to read this final page which solves all mysteries of life and death and can understand the mysteries of human life and of the cosmos and are in a position to know the cosmic plan and the divine wish in regard to nations and human lives. I have witnessed many wonderful powers of the holy men of India. When I asked them to use these powers to stop evils in the world, they replied: “When you are in tune with God and when He lets you know about His cosmic plan, you will do exactly as we are doing.”
