Holy books provide a proof that god doesn’t exist

In: Atheism

16 Dec 2008

Judaism, Christianity and Islam all originated from the common geographical area. Bible makes reference to Judaism and Moses and Quran acknowledges existence of both Moses and Jesus. However none of these three religions make any reference to Hinduism or Buddhism in thier holy books. It’s a proof that these books are not a word of god. They are written by humans who had no knowledge of the existence of religions and cultures outside the limited geographic area in which they were living. Hindu scriptures talk about various avatars of god including the forthcoming avatar of Kulki. Why is there no mention of Jesus or Mohammed? If Jesus and Mohammed are indeed son/messenger of god (as proclaimed by their respective books) then Hindu books should have carried a references to them. After all that is also claimed to be the word of god! So Hindu scriptures are as false as the books of any other religion.

The very basis on which today’s religions stand – the holy books – fail to pass even a simple test then what remains for today’s religions to prove the existence of the god? The book says there is god. The book says I am word of god. How do I believe that whatever the books says is true? The only way to believe the writings of a book as true is to verify the writings against facts. The book needs to be testified for its authenticity. Just because a book says, I am true, belive in me, we can’t believe it to be true. The claim should be verifiable. There are lots of things in the holy books which are scientifically impossible and unverifiable. If the claims of a book can not be verified, it can not be taken as true. If a book can not be taken as true then whatever is said in the book becomes false! So if false book says there is god, then it means in reality there is no god! Because had there been any god and indeed he had written or inspired the writings of these books then those writings must have been 100% accurate, verifiable and true! Which they are not. So no god, no book of god.

Egyptians, Romans, Greeks all had their own gods in ancient times. They don’t follow them any more. We all know that they were just characters of folk lore. With changing times, as people became more intelligent, hey shunned the old godly figures. Nobody worships Zeus, Artemis, Poseidon, Isis or Anubis today. They have become part of mythology, not a religion. Same thing will happen to today’s godly figures – Jesus, Mohammed, Ram, Krishna etc. May be 200 years. I guess (and hope) that in the next 200 years religions and gods would be a part of history (That is if human race doesn’t itself become part of history at the hands of some nutheads starting an atomic war for the sake of some almighty god)
