WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE IN GOD, Mr. BLACK COAT?

Once you accept the existence of God-however you define him,

First you would look at the crazy questioner, especially at his/her clothes for arriving at from which land he/she comes. And then would start guessing about her/his mental status. After being satisfied about the questioner’s non-violent purpose you would say, “Yes,” generally. 

You would say “Yes” because you do believe that you believe in God!

But for me it’s a matter of large confusion, or a provocative ambiguity sometimes. As I am an advocate, all the religious minded friends of mine consider it their sacred duty to convert me into their army of astikas (theists). While sitting in office or sipping tea in canteen, they ask me a spear-straight question: Why don’t you believe in God? (It makes me more painful when the tea is ordered by me) But I had ignored smilingly in my youth years, the years when you take even the most serious things quite lightly. But as the age grows, you know, the patience start crumbling. It has started in my case, too. So here in this article, I would try to search for an answer for a question about the God’s existence.
