[I hate to start like this but I couldn't think of a better intro]

Some people claim that they are atheists. But the problem with their argument is that they only "Believe" that the God does not exist. It sounds contradictory,because if you take "belief" as the basis then there is really no difference between those who believe that He does not exist and those who believe He exists.
Therefore there is not difference between a christian missionary who is trying to spread Christianity and atheists who are trying to spread so called rational thinking. Both of them trying to put their argument based on their belief and not some proof within the well accepted frame of logic.

Equality is a Myth

I believe equality is a myth. When you ask somebody whether he is xxxx (put maharashtrian,gujju,gult,mallu,tam etc) and if he proudly says I am an Indian, he is differentiating between an Indian and a non-Indian. When somebody says I am a human being first, he is differentiating between a Human being and other living things like animals, trees etc. When he says (rarely I have heard saying somebody so) I care for living things, he is showing scant regard to non living things like water, air, petroleum etc. When somebody (assume for the sake of argument) says that I am all for anything that exists then he is differentiating between things that exist and do not exist, e.g. only conceptually exist, like law, ethics, designation etc. The argument is endless. Therefore I believe that equality is a myth. The only thing that is is important is ability to live with inequality.
