Man's Folly or God's???

"God is either an Abstraction or a Failed Genius of our Times. If the Former is True, then God is Man's Biggest Folly. If the Latter is True, then Man is God's Biggest Folly." So proclaims the well known quizzer Dhananjay Shettigar as a footnote on his mails.

It really drove me to think hard on this. As far as I know, I've never really been that much of a believer. But still, when in distress, I do call out saying "Help me God!". Is this because the faith in Him has been ingrained so deep into us since childhood? Or perhaps its because we live on hope. And the presence of someone supreme gives us hope.

If its really man's folly, then we truly live in a stupid world where most of the unrest is because of religion which boils down to God. Lets tell all those jehadis that the very reason they're fighting for does not exist. And if its God's folly, then since he's a failed genius, theres no reason again to fight in his name.

But whether man's folly or God's, as long as belief in Him gives us hope of good things to come in life, then let man continue to live with this folly !!!
