The theory of relativity applies among the other important things to the belief or disbelief in GOD.God can be the idol that we worship everyday in our houses and temples,for some the word can have many other definitions, for still others there is nothing called God that exists and that the whole world is besieged by the laws of science. Thus this clichéd notion of the God doesn't culminate in the two classes of the believers and the skeptics but has a plethora of ideas behind it. For those who are devout believers of the God i.e. Vishnu,Shiva,Jesus,Allah,Guru Nanak,etc, they have blind faith in their God and it is a felony if one doesn't believe in God.The chanting of mantras,poojas ,fasts,etc,become the various to come closer to God. This belief infuses in them the support system which acts as a cushion to any shocks that they might face; He becomes the confidant for making all of their confessions. This belief also bring with it its carrot and stick policy of doing good and getting rewarded and punishments for bad deeds. This happens to be for the larger good which makes this world a better place to live. This divine power becomes their guiding light which follows them all throughout their lives. This belief is a constant fuel of hope for life, which keeps people going even in times of despair.
Also there are those for whom God has no image,no name but it is an essence which is with them. God for them may just exist in the light or the rain or their work. They also have their own unique ways of worship whether it is a total dedication to their work or just being a good person.
Some also take the middle-path of convenience of changing parties according to the changing circumstances. They are blind believers in some cases and non-believers in others. They use the belief as their defense and support mechanisms and on the other hand the rituals and duties that come along with it are considered ills of orthodox thinking.
Last but not the least are those who don’t believe in the existence of God and state that the world is run by the laws of science. Their mechanism in times of despair is time. Time is the greatest healer and that is what they would rely on to face the tough side to life, they scientifically gauge the right and wrong and accordingly.
It is not about who takes which path but about where they reach treading that path. Whatever path one chooses to walk on, whatever one chooses to believe, it should take them to humanity, harmony and truth.

Very nicely dealt with...
Even the person who coined the theory of relativity belived in IT'S existence...
I had also read somewhere.that he argued with one of his teachers during schooldays..regarding the existence of HIM..and defined in his own way why we should be believing in HIM..like students believe their teachers...
He also said once..." I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion. "....
A very deep thought indeed!
kaise sooch sakti hai tu itna kuch? :)
sahiii likha hai!
keep up the good work!
hmmm..well its got d matter alright but try 2 make ur sentences short n smart coz d reader might lose interest as it gets kinda monotonous...also hav cum 2 xpect only poems n prose frm u so kept waitin 4 a rhythm 2 emerge(i know dats my problm)...
hmmmm..the narrative is interesting and u have segregated different types of people here... however ur idea is typecast....what ur not rendering here is irony or maybe that tang ur frnd saha has written about..
ur style of writing is rather introductory than explanatory.... it seems ur findings are rather elementary but i will not be extremely critical about it..cos its a nice effort... but it seems more like a prologue or an epilogue to a writeup... i will point out where it is gud den where it can be improved
its gud that u have written about every persona a person can have..it is gud that u havent elaborated on the characteristcs of the people a lot as it can be a bad read...
and also ur diction is solid...and grammatical errors are few and not serious... the choice of words are gud too...plus it survives well as a body of text having some objective after all.....
the poits where it lack are
the color of the font is too harsh on the eye...note that critically...people get psychologically affected cos of the glaring color... the main thing is that ur personal reserch seems to lack depth...u have not considered intersections of faiths...ur article may seem short of stuff cos of dat.... and some lines in ur text are really arcahic...like "last but not the least"..this line is really mundane..it makes ur article look like a civics lesson... try to avoid long paragraphs..i also suffered cos of dat anomaly initially .. if ur ideas are religious or related to philosophy u must include prose like ur frnd saha suggests... and if u do not want external references u must build metaphors and derive meaning from dem..without that ur article has no factual foundation....after all of dis..i must say dat it is a nice attempt..take the citicism constructively...
