Calling out a God is unnecessary. Human beings call for a God because of the things they think they can’t solve out on their own. When things get beyond their control or explanation they lean automatically to a God which is very imaginary. We discussed man as a rationalized being. Meaning, man has the capacity to offer reasonable explanation for something, however, by believing in this STOP GAP God, man is considered to be dehumanized for man becomes irrational. He is deprived of something he must have, the right to think and search freely the truth. It leads him to become intellectually lazy. Hence, God is unnecessary to solve human problems. Science and Technology had solutions to human problems which they think are enough. They don’t need God to solve this; they can do it on their own. What can a prayer do? Can God present himself to us? Can he solve our problems? No, he can’t. Science is enough. Everything is provided for us by science, and what they need to do is to make use of it. Humans are capable of thinking on their own and they need not anyone especially God to hand down all the things that they need especially the solutions to their problem. It can only dehumanize them in the sense that they are not becoming a rationalized being. They are less human in that sense. In the concept of atheism, we need to consider our humanity, because by keeping it means keeping also ourselves sane. We don’t need anyone to shoulder all the things that we are going through except ourselves.
On the other hand, what was written above was proven to be false by religion for not everything is can be solved by science and that God is still necessary to solve human problems. There are some mysteries that are left unanswered by science and that only in religion we can find response to what we are really looking for. It is not true that we need no one except ourselves. No man is an island; man needs someone to depend on. It is expected that we as an insatiable being, look for something that is beyond all the plenitude that the world could offer to us. By looking upon this beyond, we are aware not just as human beings with rational thoughts but human beings with religious or spiritual experience. Science and technology may give us facts and solutions and yes it is true that God can’t solve human problems for he cannot present himself down here on earth to work for human problems; however, as a person with religious experience, God is still necessary simply because after clinging to Him there is a fulfilment on our part, we are satisfied because we become submissive to the one we know who is uncontainable. Lastly, there is unexplainable relief and that we suddenly feel enlightened that the remedy on our problems is right there in front of us. God may not solve these problems directly, nonetheless, He can make us become hopeful for man is a drive towards the infinite.
