THAT GUY ABOVE

Ever Since my early rebellious teen years I have been immensely curious about "that guy above".Questions regarding that guy used to pop up everyday in my inquisitive mind.And I could not ask my dad anything about that guy because dad hated that guy as much as a bat hates light.I used to turn to my mom hoping to get to know something about that guy but disappointingly mom knew a little.But whatever she used to tell was of no help because her answers used to lead to more complex and hard-to-answer questions.And my little bro,he was a kid(and he still is).He never knew what the hell I was talking about and didn't even showed any sign of interest in knowing about that guy.My friends,they were dumb or more precisely I must say that they were more interested in telling me who dave mustaine and james hetfield were or the differences between the sub-genres of heavy metal music.Thank goth,they were atleast good at something worth knowing.But whosoever I met couldn't provide me satisfactory and convincing answers.So I had nowhere to go to satisfy my eternal inquisitiveness.I was just floating in an abyss with question marks surrounding me.But one thing everybody's answers had in common was that "that guy lived above."

Well,I am not talking about any guy who was a tenant in the first floor of our house.I am not even talking about any guy who had a phobia of height and who got up a tree and never came down.I am talking about the same guy who is always belived to be dwelling above in the sky(I wonder why he never changed locations).That guy has a name and he is known as GOD.Yes the same god who is always a male(that's why I call him guy) and who always lives up in the sky.God has always been undisputedly the most important and exciting subject inside my curious mind.

I am an agnostic and I believe its a state of a confused and doubtfull mind regarding the existence of god.I attained that state ever since I hit puberty and started inquiring and reasoning about god.But I proudly tell people that I am an athiest by birth.I remained an athiest untill I came out of my mother's womb.The shadow of religion was cast upon my head as soon as I came into this world.The priest chanted the holy spells and in a fractions of seconds I became a hindu.That's how I was introduced to god.God-the all powerfull,all mercifull,all genorous.God-the omnipresent,the omnipotent and the omnicient.That's all I knew about god in my childhood years.But as I started to grow up and stepped into my early teens I became more and more curious about god.I began to develope a very strong thirst for knowledge regarding god.I could not just accept god like my friends or my dumb annoying neighbours did.I needed to know him better before I could take him for granted.I was thoroughly disappointed by the unsatisfactory answers I got from peoples I met who were die-hard god fans.I had realised that the best place to attain knowledge about god hopefully was my own mind.So I began reasoning within my own mind.That's what led me to agnosticism.
