| Ram Prasad Garu,
I guessed that you believe in GOD by reading your profile description and tell me if I am wrong, otherwise we shall discuss again once the author gives the opinion.

Dear Mr. Zero,
1) How did you jump to the conclusion that I am a 'theist'?
2) Let us hope the author will throw some more light regarding her concept on theism & atheism.
3) Again, I fear we may have to 'agree to disagree' - who knows?
4) Discussions can enlighten persons many a time.
5) However, 'A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still'situation prevails in many cases.
We shall discuss again, when the author gives her opinion.

Ram Prasad Garu,
I understand that English isn't the mother tongue
of the writer and also suppose the author doesn't use 'ATHEIST' for a living or as a profession ( as lawyers, purchase depts and tutors)using it day in and out, also as you said mistakes do happen. (may be she is not used to use this specific term in the foreign language till now)
Yeh, I felt your comments are little bit harsh on the writer....
I can understand your response when you feel your belief is being questioned but the response shoudn’t be harsh,
I got the following message form the article but don't know whether you agree with this
in simple terms the writer said
/**
I REALLY DON’T KNOW whether God exists or not but I choose to believe as NOT, I find people questioning me a lot on this and I don't like being questioned/convinced on my belief, so please don't question me ‘WHY ?’ or try to convince me ‘YES’, so those believers in God n Religion who want's to convince me and people like me ( other ATHEIST's ), don't do that .
**/
I didn’t see the author propagating beliefs (like.. God is not there or why God isn’t there)
If she comes with some reasons as of why she is an ‘ATHEIST’ and why she thinks God isn’t there then I can understand she is propagating some kind of belief..

Dear Mr. Zero,
1) Thank you very much for spotting some spelling mistakes in my profile.
Silly mistakes do happen with everybody and I am no exception for it. I am going to correct them immediately. (Perhaps it is my weakness to give too much of importance to spelling mistakes!)
However, a person who claims he is going to give tuitions to students should know the spelling of that word. Similarly, a lawyer should know the spelling of that word which denotes his profession.
Similarly, we cannot expect a purchase dept. man to use 'perchase' when he had already worked in that dept. for good number of years (This happened with one of my colleagues).
2) Did you find the tenor of my comments as offending the writer?
My feeling is that a 'professed' 'atheist' is supposed to know the spelling of that word (which he treats with great esteem), as that spelling as well as its concept would have been correctly registered in his 'sub-conscious mind' already, which will not permit him to use the wrong spelling. This is the 'background' of my correcting that word.
3) Please go through the article again carefully.
Do not you find 'questioning the whole idea or belief of someone' (some elders who were trying to convince the author about the existence of the so called God) in that article?
That 'indirect questioning' prompted me to make my comments.
4) 'Sharing thoughts' itself is a mild means of propagation of one's own 'philosophy'.
5) Let us discuss further if needed.

One who does not believe in himself/herself is called real Atheist
Now tell me who is real atheist?

Ram Prasad Guru,
Evari beliefs varivi and we must learn to respect them and if you don’t agree with them then explain your point gracefully, please don’t hang on to silly spelling mistakes and question the whole idea or belief of someone. As you said in your comment
/**
Should you not have firmness at least in the word you are using for expressing your thoughts?
It is 'ATHEIST' - not 'ATHIEST'(you have used the latter spelling throughout)!
At this rate, how can you propagate your belief on such an important topic?
**/
First of all if it’s simple to understand from the article she isn’t trying to “PROPOGATE” her belief she is “Simply asking to respect it”.
Secondly as I said earlier I don’t think it’s a wise thing to spot out some simple spelling mistake and use it as a big point ( be graceful and prove your point by expressing proper ideas), the idea is important not the spellings/grammar.
For example tell me how you would feel if I comment,
“ How did you write books in English ( it's mentioned in your profile) when you can’t write your own profile without spelling mistakes ? “
Now these are the mistakes from your profile (if you haven’t edited your profile after seeing this comment)
“Ealier, I made two books on the songs of Tyagaraja - one in Telugu & the other in English.”
It’s “Earlier not “Ealier”
“My Telugu book - TYAAGARAAJA KEERTANAAMRITAM got relesed on 18th June 2005”
It’s “released” not “relesed”
Now do these spelling mistakes make you less Intelligent? And I understand they don’t make you any less and are simple spelling mistakes which most people make however intelligent they are and I want you to understand the same with others....
Sorry, if I have offended you
Thanks

P.S.
A man conviced against his will
Is of the same opinion still!

Dear writer,
Does not matter whether you believe in God or not.
If he exists, he (I am not using capital letter for 'h' deliberately, just to make you happy) exists for all, including yourself. Otherwise the converse is true.
Should you not have firmness at least in the word you are using for expressing your thoughts?
It is 'ATHEIST' - not 'ATHIEST'(you have used the latter spelling throughout)!
At this rate, how can you propagate your belief on such an important topic?

hi vennela garu!

' But later I realized that they are not really open-minded to the discussion. 'NEITHER AM I'. Then there is no point in discussing.
Why can't people respect my belief when I 'ALWAYS' respected theirs? '
mi alochanalu meevi.....but discussions lo open minded ga untey ne we can know something.....aa frame of mind lekha potey discussion turns to an arguement......and as we know 'u can win an arguement but can never ever convince the other person'
meeru last para lo i dont know if god really exist's anaaru kadha.........antey u r not sure kadha.....so u r not an athiest.......emi antaaru?
