I never believed this shit but still i was afraid to say it to anyone or even to like think about it.. When she died I realised I was right all along and my mother who was like praying n all for her recovery was wrong..
I Think you should be Good and honest.. But that's Got nothing to do with a God or Gods or Whatever imaginary idea like that.
You should be Good and honest because it will probably make other people treat you the same...
Yes I think so too.. :-)

Hi, firstly I want to say thank u so much for welcoming me here. It feels so good to finally be able to talk about what I have been feeling for years..I am married and my entire family is so orthodox..They do puja everyday after bath and I keep staring pretending to pay my respects or so when actually I think about something else...
Welcome to the forum, Monalisa. I hope you like it here.
Monalisa Dey Wrote:My problem is I just dont believe the fact that GOD is there and he watches us and we have to be good otherwise something bad will happen etc etc..
For many years I believed it though.. I always did what is right and before doing anything bad I always used to pray to god and say sorry n stuff.. But all of that is a lie because to be frank I do not believe it..
Hindus have a lot of deities and we have several occasions where we sit around the idol of that deity and give him food and stuff and chant mantras .. I have noticed my entire family just keep their eyes closed and they somehow seem to be so engrossed .. I tried that too.. did not work..
Sometimes I feel so guilty.. Maybe I am wrong..
Just recently I lost my dog.. and people say that if you pray to god n be good then he listens to you..
That is not true.. Sometimes I feel that if I talk about this with my husband or someone else, they will feel that I am a freak bcz as a Hindu it is actually a crime..
You're not alone. It can be very difficult to break with a viewpoint you were raised to believe and which everyone around you seems to take for granted as true; whether you're Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Jain, or whatever. You have a right, even if those around you don't recognize it, to freedom of conscience; to believe what you are convinced of and to not believe what doesn't convince you. It's a precious right, but sometimes we're in a situation where we have to keep our difference of opinion to ourselves. That's one of the reasons places like this exist.
i am actually known as a freak here in my country.. people here dont really speak aloud about their reservations and sad to say that I am one of them..
I was feeling so down and thought that may I need to go to psychiatrist to like openly talk about my feelings when I came across this forum..
