No God, No Knowledge; Know God, Know Knowledge

Atheists often say, “I don’t deny God; I simply lack belief.” That sounds neutral, but it collapses when we look closer—especially if we take seriously the idea of a God who defines Himself as innately known to everyone.

The intention behind the Flying Spaghetti Monster is simple enough: to argue that belief in God is no more rational than belief in a contrived absurdity. Yet, when examined closely, the parody undermines itself.

“Śukadeva Gosvamī said: ‘The Supreme Lord manifested the material intelligence, senses, mind and vital air of the living entities so that they could indulge their desires for sense gratification, take repeated births to engage in fruitive activities, become elevated in future lives and ultimately attain liberation.’”

As of June 1, 2025, Denmark has introduced a new law under which all citizens over the age of 18 are automatically registered as potential organ donors, unless they actively opt out. This system is known as a soft opt-out model: individuals are presumed willing to donate their organs unless they explicitly register otherwise. However, in cases where a person has not made a choice, family members may still be consulted before any organs are removed.

Many people—atheists and theists alike—believe that logic must be a valid epistemic tool simply because it cannot be denied without being used. “Even denying logic requires logic,” they say. “So logic must be valid.” This argument sounds compelling, but it is deeply flawed. It confuses necessity of use with justification. Just because something must be used does not mean it is grounded in truth.

One of the most enduring questions in philosophy is the problem of the one and the many. How can unity and diversity coexist in a coherent way? Is reality ultimately one, or is it many? If only unity is real, how do we explain differences? If only plurality is real, how do we explain coherence, order, and meaning? Without reconciling these, knowledge and life itself become unstable.

In some corners of the devotee community, there’s an unspoken rule—or even open pressure—not to say that a devotee “dies.” It’s sometimes treated as offensive, incorrect, or even sinful. But this is not based on śāstra, nor on the example of our founder-ācārya. In fact, such social taboos often function more as subtle forms of control than as expressions of truth.

It is important to acknowledge at the outset that many people have legitimate emotional and intellectual reasons to be suspicious of religion. Certain prominent theological systems promote the notion that God hates particular individuals or groups, withdraws His love from them, and condemns them to eternal punishment with no possibility of redemption. In such systems, divine love is conditional and retractable — and consequently, followers of these religions are often encouraged to withhold their compassion from those outside their belief system. This portrayal of God as selectively loving and eternally punitive leaves lasting psychological scars and colors the way many people instinctively react to any discussion of God or religion.

Did you know that many common English words are connected to Sanskrit — the ancient language of India?
We rarely stop to consider where our words come from. Language often feels like a tool we use, nothing more. But behind the words we speak lie centuries of memory, culture, and thought.
One of the most surprising and overlooked roots in Western languages leads back to Sanskrit — the language that has carried India’s wisdom, philosophy, and poetry through the ages. And yet, it keeps reappearing, quietly, in everyday English.

Some argue that meaningful debate between the theist and the atheist is impossible. Their reasoning is simple: if one accepts that reality is founded on the Supreme Person, and the other denies any transcendent source, what real dialogue is possible? Aren’t they just speaking past one another, trapped within incompatible presuppositions?
This objection seems persuasive at first glance. After all, if our basic assumptions about reality, truth, and meaning differ, what common ground could we possibly share?
