Good without God is ‘0’ not ‘o’

·       I believe that phrases such as ‘warped judgment’; ‘twisted mind’; and ‘corrupted wisdom’ have not much to do with one’s academic qualification; it is all about believing to refuse. One refuses to believe a certain thing for a certain reason, but one who believes to refuse manages to find reasons; for example, I warn a person (who believes to refuse) of his belief that ‘God is devil’; and he replies, ‘ok fine, the belief of mine is sacrilegious, I go for its opposite: ‘Devil is God’. I write to another person (who happens to believe to refuse as well) that Good without God becomes ‘0’, I intend to imply that any good that is done without God is worth nothing; and he writes me back: ‘This is indeed a true statement that the word good without the three letters ‘GOD’ becomes the letter ‘o’. Those who refuse to believe, in most cases, are the people of good academic grades, therefore, it can safely be assumed that they have no confusion of the letter ‘o’ with the number ‘0’, (despite both are represented by the similar symbols), this is the only warped preference that exploits the possible but unintended meaning. Good without God is always ‘o’ for the man of misdirected judgment as it plays on his acceptance of the evident truth of the trivial sense of sentence.

Warped judgment judges ‘God is no being at all’ as equivalent to ‘no being at all is God’. Even one uses the theory of gravity in a trivial sense to bring to his mind its meaning as a hypothesis; he will not cease to feel the gravitational force since gravity is a real phenomenon not an abstract idea. God cannot be established by the scientific explanation as God is transcendental; however, one can feel that good without God is zero because good without God is always motivated by the desire to have worldly gains: helping poor is for nursing constituency and good manners are the public relationing exercise; one is nice so that he can be dubbed a nice person (a label that becomes the source of a joy); one becomes humble so that he can be proud of being humble. Good without God is zero as good is self directed; it is a kind of investment because one does good to reap dividends. Good actions are defined by intentions not by good deeds; selfless altruism that is helping others not for being helped can only be motivated by the anticipation of being rewarded by God not by human.

Deepities exhibited by the universe do not bother these intellectuals when they attack religion for using metaphorical language.
