hi
I'm an Atheist. I don't believe in religion or God. But I respect all the religions. If you say that you an Atheist, then you are cornered. Other people definitely think that you are out of your mind.
Religions are for the uncivilized mind as I feel. As a human when you grow, you should understand how to live in the society. If you do not develop that understanding that means you have not grown up. What people think religion is, the rituals and the traditions they have been continuing so far. They don't understand the fact, that the core teaching of every religion is the same. That is to live in harmony. Our people simply do no understand this. They are not critical. They do not think. If people think our society would be better. They do not understand that we come from the same place and go back to the same place, irrespective of our religion.
Revealing my identity of being as Atheist would be a horrific experience to a very religious person. Think of this country. Every morning and evening you hear pirith and prayers all around the country. Feasts of the church are celebrated in glamour. But no person give an iota of attention to their hearts.
What our people do is, to attend a religious place very seriously and take part in all the rituals and come back out of that shrine and go back to the same old style. No body thinks about their life style, their behavior, their language.
People would not give a damn concern for you if you say that you are an Atheist. Because most of the Sri lankans are morons..
atheists are inherently dumb
