I was told that nasthika means not accepting the existence of a deity in the murthy. Asthika says asthi - meaning the deity is there and nasthika says na asthi - it is not there. I don't think nasthika means that there is no bhaghavan at all. Corrolory - muslims are nasthikas because they say that allah cannot be depicted but agree that allah exists.

It's important to note that atheism itself is simply the lack of belief in gods or deities, and not all atheists are fanatical or extreme in their views. Fanatical atheism might manifest as aggressive criticism of religion, intolerance towards religious practices, and a strong commitment to promoting secularism. It can sometimes be associated with anti-theism, which goes beyond mere disbelief in gods to actively opposing the influence of religion in society. As with any belief system, it's essential to recognize that individuals within a particular group can have a wide range of perspectives and attitudes. Not all atheists hold fanatical views, and many engage in respectful dialogue with people of different religious beliefs. As with any worldview, it's important to approach discussions about atheism or religion with an open mind and a willingness to engage in respectful and constructive conversations. In shadows deep, where reason reigns, A whispered creed, unbound by chains.Fanatical atheism, bold and stark,A skeptic's quest, in shadows dark. No gods above to guide the way,No cosmic hand in night or day.The skeptic's gaze, sharp and keen,In realms unseen, no gods are seen. With logic's sword, they cut through mist,Dismiss the tales that preachers twist.In fervent doubt, their minds take flight,Rejecting dogma, embracing light. No prayers ascend, no hymns resound,In reason's temple, truth is found.The fanatical atheist stands tall,Against the gods, against the fall. Yet in their passion, let them see,That empathy and grace can be.For varied minds in this grand play,Each seeking truth in their own way. Fanaticism, a double-edged sword,In skepticism, let love be stored.For in the quest for what is true,May understanding bloom and grow.

We no longerunderstand by feeling nature directly as part of nature. We have become themachine fanatics. We are loyal to Rene Descartes, and treat every life form asan emotionless and feelings less machine. Our hormonal communication is takenover by machines. Theparadox is while every organism is striving and struggling to live in nature asnature, we the humans are trying to be machines, the Robots. It appears thatGod is staying in every life form while the same God is refusing to enter us.The pineal gland is not working, as God has vacated it. Rene Descartes blundered,but his Cartesian approach, and mechanization vandalizes, devastates anddestroys nature. We have been cyborging nature with industrialization,urbanization and with many technologies including the GM intrusion into ourfoods. Theismflowing from the Theosphere was part of the Troposphere. We breathed belief innature continuously, and breathing created and governed the emotional routineof life.Nature, when free, flashed brilliant and shattering revelations asenlightenments continuously. It took over the hormonal communication of everyorganism, and created the grand coordination of the hormonal communication ofevery organism. The Biosphere functioned as one single organism. Every organismwas a student in the symbiotic learning from nature. Naturewas the ultimate college.God, the teacher could be smelt and breathing was learning.As God partnered there was no need for any definition and scope clutch. In factone could start from anywhere without beginning with definitions and scopes.Learning was participation in nature as nature. Every organism joined the greatcollege instantly after birth, and there was no definition hurdle. One startedwithout definitions, just breathing was the start. Nowwe have created the economic man, that Darwinian monster, fighting in theSocial Darwinism, to become the successful rogue. To be the economic man he hastaken to Atheism, the euphemism for mechanization of everything. Canwe remove emotions and emotional communication from our and also the hormonalcommunications of all organisms of the Biosphere, without becoming extinct? Butthe fanatical atheism that bludgeons mechanization and removal of nature inevery activity is now in terrible frenzy. Thereis an urgent need to create areas where there is no technology at all and wherethere is no economic tampering by humans. We are now confronting the ultimate paradox,the Atheist who defends technology emotionally! Robotsare creating poems and songs, very precise, accurate etc where no professionaleditor can change. But they do not touch our internal hormonal communication.When machines do the loving and living for us atheistically, where are we goingand where is aesthetics?
