This notion of believing in a super entity is nothing new. Mankind has gone through a lot just for bringing the idea on to social level.
But, it is time to ask those who believe in GOD - and I am one of those people myself! - What does it do for the people around us when we claim that GOD exists?
Simply, by telling others about GOD we create an atmosphere of ethical segregation. Those who do not see eye to eye with our interpretation of such notion may either challenge us or simply stay away from us . In both cases a gap is immediately felt between parties involved who don't agree, as well as an illusion of cult formation within those who do agree! Such sensitive scenario, anyway, will result in further isolation or despair among people who could otherwise just live peacefully for today and now.
It is only fair to say that "Amr be Maroof" , if only in form of telling others how to live or think, has always been just another archaic tactic to fail. Today, if we want people to listen to our idea of GOD and feel connected with his existence in their lives, it can only happen through ourselves by being and acting truthfully and piously. Remember the golden rule: DO NOT DO TO OTHERS WHAT YOU DO NOT WISH OTHERS TO DO UNTO YOU!"
GOD only exists for those who have a use for him in their hearts and minds.... Other than that what some say is just hot air about political geography! Nothing more.
