IS GOD DEAD ESSAY FOR STUDENT

                       To pose such a portentous question as the above could be only attributed to a cynic, who does not  view God in the proper perspective.  It could also stem from his ignorance of what God actually is. Thus to answer his query it is imperative for us to know who God actually is.

GOD

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

                   God is neither a physical nor an abstract creature nor is he there only in temples or churches or in the idols or pilgrim spots that we so religiously visit. He is but a manifestation of all things good in life and resides in each and every living creature on earth. The Bible, therefore says 'God created man in his own image, in the image of God he him, male and female created he both' It is this eternal truth that Siddhartha set out to find, when he renounced his kingdom. Only to realise on his enlightenment, that what he had set out to seek was but present in himself. It is this path of righteousness, ahisma and peace that gave birth to  Buddhism and similarly other religion. Thus all religious lead us to salvation and ultimately to him our Lord and master.

                         It is this eternal pursuit of man to know God that gave rise to spiritualism and the growth of religion. Each in its own way dwelt  the good and noble things in life demonstrating the victory of good over evil. Thus in the Hindu Mythology we have the great epic of Ramayana which motivates us to emulate the noble ideals of Lord Rama. It very effectively brings out the universal truth of victory of Good over Evil. Similar is this case with other religious like Sikhism, Islamic etc. Thus there may be hundreds of religions but they all lead to one God and that God  is omnipresent and omnipotent.

GOD

                          It is indeed and antithesis of the above, that we find men fighting among themselves to prove the supremacy of his religion over the other. This leads to hatred and the growth of religious fundamentalism, which is posing a grave to mankind. Not only does it preach hated towards one another but it makes us behave more akin to savages. As Charles Colton rightly said " Man will wrangle for religion write for it, fight for it, anything but live for it, It is this skepticism that at times raises the doubt of God's existence.

                          The eternal truth is that, there is only one God and all religious are but a path that we  should follow to achieve salvation. This will not only make our lives happier but also bring peace and prosperity to the strife torn world. Thus as long as there is life on earth,God cannot die. To have any illusions on the contrary would be amounting to inviting disaster and doom on earth.
