Product Description
God is the greatest dictator, if you accept the fiction that he created the world and also created
mankind. If God is a reality, then man is a slave, a puppet. All the strings are in his hands, even your
life. Then there is no question of any enlightenment. Then there is no question of there being any
Gautam the Buddha, because there is no freedom at all. He pulls the strings, you dance; he pulls
the strings, you cry; he pulls the strings, you start murders, suicide, war. You are just a puppet and
he is the puppeteer.
Then there is no question of sin or virtue, no question of sinners and saints. Nothing is good and
nothing is bad, because you are only a puppet. A puppet cannot be responsible for its actions.
Responsibility belongs to someone who has the freedom to act. Either God can exist or freedom,
both cannot exist together. That is the basic implication of Friedrich Nietzsche’s statement: God is
dead, therefore man is free.
No theologian, no founder of religions thought about this, that if you accept God as the creator,
you are destroying the whole dignity of consciousness, of freedom, of love. You are taking all
responsibility from man, and you are taking all his freedom away. You are reducing the whole of
existence to just the whim of a strange fellow called God.
