i would not want my children to grow up in an atheist way, because of the following points which atheism fails to give me a convincing an answer. still awaiting!
1) purpose in life
2) concept of performing atonement from one's wrongdoing (Prayaschittha), and asking for forgiveness there by getting correcting the life track.
murphys management law says 'left to themselves, things will go from bad to worse'. this is what happens if we think, we are a part of evolution, next only to animal kingdom, and are free to live the way we want, as per our mutated selfish genes guides so.
but for a theist children, there is a guidance, and has a purpose to lead a good life and look out for being 'oneness with god'. that motivates them to do good and stay away from doing wrong, or win over other weak by all means, and justify with, survival of the fittest. one can over power a weak women in dark, silence her to stay away from seeking justice, and still lead a life without guilt. they cant tell their children' boy dont hide things from me, god is watching you'.
but for theists,karma fears them not to do bad. even if one did wrong, prayschitta helps the person pointing its wrong, and try not to do it again, and keep on pricking the conscience , and fear of karma, triggers him not to do wrong .. theism gives a purpose in life, set the goal for life to strive moksha, and give an ultimate goal/target for life and life after death. but for an atheist no such purpose exists...its like,
'"common my child, lets be strong, earn, eat, drink, and be merry,cos tomorrow we may die, and after, nothing is ours".
is it a good precedence?
atheist may argue, there is a selfish gene in every one, and its mutated for years, and in its human form now, it has already developed to do good, and be kind, and triggers selflessness.
but looking around the world, and studying the culture of religious pockets, this trend proves wrong. mutated genes are not giving any universal commonality in the mankind. and these cultural pockets of change, is 3000-5000 yrs recent, and genes would not have mutated to such an drastic change, in such a short span.
if life is to be set by 'survival of fittest', altruism and selflessness wont have any place, even if its argued as 'mutated selfish genes'. (will present a separate post soon)
no predator in the jungle ever survived by altruism. no lion ever had a sympathy and let free a pregnant deer.
these are the dangerous positions, an atheism may drive the society. though many of the atheist here have taken up this ism, only after the grown up and matured age by which they would have earned good judgmental skill to fall in to such situations,.. but, this position will prove disastrous, if it enters the minds of growing children...should any one want their children to take up this position?
