Once I spoke to a person who had done MA in philosophy. He didn’t believe in God. One who studies philosophy generally tends to be an agnostic or an atheist. Philosophy leads to confusion. Those who read philosophy don’t become atheists out of conviction, but due to confusion. I said many things to that person, but he kept on arguing. In the end I said: I gave him a formula for why I believe in God. I told him the logical formula that had convinced me. He found it very strange to believe that there was a God.

I said, Believing in God is strange, but not believing in God is stranger still. When I say that I believe in God, I simply say that I have preferred the strange rather than stranger. In other words, believing in God is strange but not believing in God is stranger. This logic gave me conviction. This is what I said. I studied a lot on this subject and this logic satisfied me. This is because I am a very rational person.
