Love me some Nietzsche! Humanity created the idea of God and have exploited it ever since. God can't help you; you have to help yourself.

Unfortunately, for those staring into the abyss that is God will find nothing staring back. noway

Alright so we don't have God.
So what next?

Meantime we still have to pay our bills, right?
so what's there to keep us going?

The Ten Commandments,
the Greatest Invention since God!!
What did the fool Nietzsche have to say about that.

To OP, please...
share with us your real point;
for rhetoric(s) we have many other forums - poetry, general...

The OP is Hindu , so I don't know how he is even posing the question?
Maybe if the site had a majority of atheist & agnostics. noway

To the OP- Nietzsche gave me a headache the first read & the second read, I just laughed,because God's reply to Nietzsche was/ is " I never knew you " (look it up :wink: ), so Nietzsche must be staring into the abyss.... while screaming for him.

laugh laugh laugh maybe he's screaming at God. Here's a cute story I heard long ago and it stuck with me.

:angel:

A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help.

Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, "Jump in, I can save you."

The stranded fellow shouted back, "No, it's OK, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me."

So the rowboat went on.

Then a motorboat came by. "The fellow in the motorboat shouted, "Jump in, I can save you."

To this the stranded man said, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."

So the motorboat went on.

Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, "Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety."

To this the stranded man again replied, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."

So the helicopter reluctantly flew away.

Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, "I had faith in you but you didn't save me, you let me drown. I don't understand why!"

To this God replied, "I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?"

Thought it may interest you to know that 'Hindu' is loosely defined;
depending the age group of Indians one meets.

There is Vedanata - Sanskrit based enquiry on existence 'I am So am' variety
in fact 'soham' is the Sanskrit word

There is of course the Hindu ritualism - propagated by a sect in the Brahmin community - now a political weapon to counter 'conversions'

Buddhism took birth in India, Sikhism, Jainism

Then there is the Theosophical Society - meditative

You may recall OSHO - the Guru who suggested 'exhaust the sex within' & retain the joyousness

Lot of spiritual healers - lot of followers

Yoga, Transcendental Meditation - actually Y, TM is not considered as
mainstream Hinduism - it's for the Gurus.

So as they say, when one believes in everything; in a sense it comes down to nothing.

I was curious why a few people start a post with one-liners. OP could've shared some of his thoughts & formed proper base for discussions?
Not doing so is like tossing a pebble in a pond & watching the ripples.

Exactly.. Some people are making a statement & not trying to have a discussion. Then the discussion begins with the 2nd or 3rd poster.
IF some one is brave enough to post to a vague, obstact and or contraversal comment. :wink:
Most wait.. for a majority concenses, & then post. laugh

Everything alive has a probable cause, the birds have their purpose, the ants and the bees all have their purpose in this grand design. Nothing on this earth is by accident, to suggest there's no infinite intelligence, God, Supreme Being or whatever word/s you'll choose to use is not only an insult to human intelligence but its bluntly observing nature and assume or conclude that nature has no infinite laws that govern her purposeful, precise and definite measures.
