Very well said serieljunkie 😊. I agree with you, its close to impossible trying to change someone's belief system, especially as far as God & similar topics are concerned. Infact lot of people have tried to change his attitude, including myself, but has always been a futile effort. So nowadays, we dont bother much. As they say, we agree to disagree 😉.
I especially like your last paragraph regarding atheists and theists, that theists are the people who strategically try to undo the ills of wrong deeds through prayers and mannats (I use the term 'bribe' for the same 😆).
And through experience, I have seen that lot of people who do wrong deeds are the ones who are more religious, indulging in regular pooja phats, temple visits to far off places, etc. On the other hand as I have mentioned, my uncle is one of the most straight forward and sincere people I have met in my life. So I do believe even if he doesnt want to believe in God, its still fine. As at the end of the day, God also accounts for only your deeds and not the number of times you have visited his temples, mosques or churches. I think that would be called Spirituality 😉.
