Turning Agnostic

My faith in existence of God has been shaken several times but never to the extent it has, this time.I was always told -do good and God will shower you with his blessings .Though i never did any good but God never punished me too severely .But one of my cousins who never killed an ant ,never said anything bad about anyone ,never shouted at anyone is being penalized by HIM -i guess for nothing .
Why there is discrepancy in God's book of accounts?
When there were no medicines and science was unknown ,average life span used to be far less than what it is today.Justice was done to all then also ...and today also.But if this is the case then why has life span increased over the years.Does this imply that quantity and quality of sins has reduced over the years or does this mean that laws of nature have changed to make this world true to its Puranic designation i.e. KALYUG.
I think to make Kalyug more Kalyug he is punishing good and awarding evil.
Finishing sages and stocking criminal.
It is said God sends everyone in this world with equal rights and opportunities .It is their karma which decides their future.If this is so then why a child born in a poor family always lives a penurious life .Why is he born with less privileges as compared to child who is born in a rich family.
I am sure ,some people will point finger to this .They will say those who were born underprivileged are paying the price for the sins they committed in their earlier births.I say to them-from where did they get to know it.Did God tell them?Even if this logic is there behind all this then i am very sorry to say but this logic is very illogical and this should get changed.
Scientists and historians say that first form of life on this Earth was jelly fish,then came early men but no where in the accounts of history there is any strong proof regarding the existence of God on earth.Existence of God is just a myth,that is why we call it mythology.
Though some satellite pictures show the existence of Adam's bridge between India and erstwhile Rameshwaram but that bridge may not necessarily be God's creation.If we can build seven wonders of the world then why we should we wonder at the creation of this wonder(Adam's bridge).
God is noting but a creation of human fear.The things which are detrimental(beneficial) to our existence are given designation of God.Be it water,sun,trees or air etc.If there is no rain then God is angry but if there is good rain then he is happy.We have just interpreted these events to balance out things.Selfishness is what drives us to believe in God.We never consider mosquito as God.We never consider pollution as God.
We have just maneuvered everything to justify our existence otherwise i do not see any logic driving this world.
Albert Einstein understood this stupidity little early and he was justified when he said-"Two things are infinite in this world,universe and human stupidity".
As the heading of my topic suggests i am an agnostic so i do believe ,there can be some super power but i attach very low probability to that.
So GOD if you are there and you have read this then please do not punish me for what i have written .I wrote it just because i cannot relate to events that occur.I just cannot find any justification ,when,i see clean souls being cleansed.

Everyone's perception makes a difference. And it is affected by a lot of factors each of which is unique for different sets of people. So your interpretation is based on your experiences.

Like you said that it is "KALYUG". I would say its KARMYUG. That is, you get if you work for it. Even animals have to work for their meals. Forget the case of humans.

Regarding the injustice, I do agree with your opinions to a certain extent. We are living in fast moving 21st century. We like things moving fast. But when it comes to punishing, things can't move fast. Consider this case. How many people's life is affected when a particular person is sentenced to death. Basically his family. Now, what is the fault of the family members. So, when GOD has to punish someone, he tries to balance all the equations. And this process takes time. The problem with us all is that we don't have that much patience. So we start shouting.

So what our aim should always be. Always do what you think is right. My dad told me once this thing. Never do a thing for which you cannot show your face to anyone. So follow your heart...You will know what to do...
