DOES GOD REALLY EXIST?

IDOL WORSHIP: Different minds have different thoughts, but every thought that’s in the minds of mass will ultimately boil down to two fundamental questions

  • Is Idol worship right?
  • Is idol worship wrong?

Once up a time a king who did not believe in idol worship asked his intelligent minister to explain him “What makes idol worship important?” one of king’s Intelligent minister called one of king’s guards and ordered him to bring the painting of king to king’s court. After the painting was brought in front of the court, minister asked the guard to spit on the painting of king. Struck between what is right and what is wrong, the guard responded immediately “How can I spit on my master, my king”. IDOL-YES are those who think on these lines and substitute GOD in the place of King. “We have faith in GOD and his idol both” is one of the many arguments by IDOL-YES.

“GOD is everywhere; he is formless, tasteless, and omnipotent. In such a case there is no reason for a idol, we just need to have faith and honest in our approach, we need not go to temples and go around a stone of a human or some other form to prove that we are having faith in GOD”. This one of many counter argument made by second set of people whom I have called as IDOL-NO

What we observe here is, IDOL-YES define GOD as a form, while IDOL-NO define GOD as formless. As a disinterested observer the question that comes in my mind is

DOES GOD REALLY EXIST?
