ATHEISTIC VIEW ABOUT GOD
By Albert Wilson P. Marbun, 1006659640
Knowing God logically is one of the problems occured in the
world of philosophy that
had been existed since its initial formation. The development of
philosophy had brought great
change to the thought about God that try to break traditional
belief of gods myth. The flow of
philosophy developed more and more; furthermore, it shows
various divinity discourses. In
such case, the thought of atheistic philosophy that asks the
existence of God cynically also
existed. How does it exist? What is the basic that supports its
existence in religious plurality
of the world? Being the minor side of divinity philosophy,
atheists have some reasons why
they dont believe in God.At the initial existence of this
atheistic view, atheists considered that God existed
because of the idea created by human. 19th century Germany
philosopher named Ludwig
Feuerbach, first modern atheistic figure, says that God idea is
just a fallacy. God is only a
fantastic reflection, an image in the mirror of human. Human
ability to project himself makes
him able to imagine unlimitedly, imagine GOD. If he is kind, he
can imagine something
Most Kind. Also, if he is bad, he can imagine something Most
Bad.
Atheists think that if God is present, human wont be free. God
existence in human
thought makes human become a dead object under Gods conceptthat
forces human to adapt
himself with God for being an intact human. God supervises human
because for Him nothing
is hidden, all secrets are opened for Him. This means that God
doesnt let human live freely.
Therefore, God must be decimated.
The last reason, atheistic experts say that God has died. Along
the human life in this
world, many people have shown desperation of facing this heavy
life. They insensibly throw
out the concept of divinity in his life when they feel that
divinity cannot answer their needs.
Its seen from many people who are rebelled and run away from
Gods regulation. God has
been left by human, and human thinks God has died because they
find God cannot help
human life. By this way, human will reach a newer and higher
phase of life. Without God,
human can develop an increase of knowledge and technology which
can answer their needs.
Thus, atheism is a view which cant be acceptedat all by
religious people that believe
in God. There are many contradiction between both sides.
However, there is one thing imply
in atheism. It doesnt fight God indirectly, but it want to show
reverse reaction on the
dilapidation of religions. Here, we surely know what attitude we
must do as religious ones.
