AN ATHEIST is better than a theist in several ways.
One, he is sincere when he says he says that he does not believe in God.
Two, he does not harm others in the name of religion.
Three, he does not swindle people out of their money.
Fourth, he is closer to God because he does not use his name for his selfish gains.
Look at the people who believe in God.
Brainwashed by organized religion, they are far removed from two qualities that take one to God-Shraddha and Saburi-faith and patience.
Faith in God cannot come without faith in oneself.
When you have faith in yourself, you are confident of yourself, you are at ease with yourself, and you are in harmony with things around you.
You operate from a state of love, not fear.
Fear is the worst sin.
Fear of the devil compounded by the fear of God, fear of not doing the right thing, fear of losing one's image, fear of this, fear of that, fear, fear...
The theist is fear struck.
He fears offending the elders of the community, he fears God, he fears retribution, he fears transgressions, he fears punishment and he fears the Judgment Day.
For the theist, I mean from the viewpoint of an atheist, God is a terrorist.
He terrorizes everyone.
Do this, I will reward you.
Do this, I will damn you forever.
Looks like man has put all his fear into God and has made him a kind of super cop.
An atheist is not bothered about this super cop.
Do jump to conclusion just because the atheist does not fear God, he has gone on a rampage, breaking every civil and social code.
On the other hand, he has put his mind in a better frame to understand the nature of truth.
Satyameva Jayathe! Truth alone triumphs.
The Truth is not bothered by what name you call it.
If you do not call it, it is not bothered.
That is where the atheist steps in.
This is how an atheist prays: Oh, truth, I am sure you must be there.
Why there, you must be HERE.
I do not know how to pray to you or in what language to pray to you.
I am sure you are listening to me.
You may even be the small voice in me that drives me to say this prayer.
I am afraid of calling it prayer.
It is a just a chat that I have with you.
Listen to me.
Make me live in such a way that I do not hurt anything around me, be it people, animals, trees, plants or anything sentient or insentient.
Also see that I do not hurt myself in the process.
Well, truth takes care of such people.
