Uday Chopra opens up on personal beliefs about starting 'paradoxical religion'
I always wanted to start a paradoxical religion. I even named it Shunya, a zero religion, where the followers are shunned if they followed the doctrines, but I feared that even being shunned would eventually become virtuous. It was my take on humanity’s need for the divine.

For hope, for fear and the thought that something grand beyond us exists which looks after us, makes our destiny and runs this grand universe which is infinite.

Well, this is not the first time that the son of the late filmmaker Yash Chopra has grabbed everyone's attention with his out-of-the-box content. Earlier, on Friday, he penned down a few tweets about him being an atheist. He mentioned that he did not understand the concept of asking God for things in the guise of praying. He mentioned that asking God for what one wants is 'an act of mistrust'. He mentioned that if God already has a plan for everyone, why are people praying to change that plan?

As a non believer I don’t get the idea of asking god for things via prayer. When people pray to ask for things they want, isn’t it basically an act of mistrust in their god. For if god already has a plan in mind for you, why are you praying to change the plan in the first place?

Creating a thread on the micro-blogging platform, Chopra added that he wonders why people fight with those who disagree with them when they believe their God to be the true and only God. He wrote, "One last thought (well maybe not)if we believe our god(s) to be the one and true and only god (gods). Who is all-powerful and knowing! why do we feel compelled to fight others who disagree with us? Won’t our invincible gods be able to protect themselves against such blasphemers?"
One last thought (well maybe not)if we believe our god(s) to be the one and true and only god (gods) . Who is all powerful and knowing! why do we feel compelled to fight others who disagree with us. Won’t our invincible gods be able to protect themselves against such blasphemers?
