Don't you guys think that Religion is somehow at fault for mostly everything that is wrong in the world??
Before you read further, take a minute to understand this first. Something very wise shared by Mr. Javed Akhtar, he says every religious person, is 90% atheist. There are many religions in the world but he belives in one, for the rest he is very rational at finding faults.
Also you'd find them more often than not them passing remarks, such as, How can they believe in this??
Fear is the foundation of religion. Life is uncertain and clinging onto hope thatnsome imaginary guy up n the sky is watcing over us and doing things for better. This is an easy lie to believe in. But for the weak.
There are only too types of people, one who are the herd and one who is the herder.
Education, quality education is salvation of mankind. A person does not need religion to become a good person. Imagine it like this, a child is a blank canvass, pait it however you want to. This will lay the foundation of what that clid will grow up to and will have a lasting almost impossible to get rid of an impression on that child's personality.
To those who say religion teaches a lot of good stuff too and gives peace and helps to contribute to the society as well. Do you not weight the pros and cons of a decision you take that could have a significant impact on your life, do you not?
Well religion is catastrophicly more disastrous then it is good. I creats divisions and groups, and these groups are brewed with hatered for the others. It gives birth to radicalism.
Look and turn the pages of history, the Christian crusades, the Jew and Skih persecutions, and today what Israel is doing in Gaza, Hindus to Muslims in India and Muslims to Hindu in India.
It fuels the war economy, politics and political economy. Think about it, it is pure businesses and what a wonderful one. Frankly if I couldn't do much in life I'd open one as well, rather in fact even if I do good I'd still open one. Endless taxfree revenue, respect in the society, what more could one ask for?
Why do you think we have got 3 Gurudwaras in one fateful blessed chwonk?? Why??
Those who are elder to us have already been colored religious. Whatever logic I may throw the way of my mother, it comes back with a simple response JUST SHUT UP! Dont believe if you don't want to but dont speak ill about any.
The government at the center had no chance to win an election if not for religion. Were they voted to power on merit?? I feel ashamed that such idiots represente us. With absolute majority they couldn't keep the economy steady which was already going on the right track.
Disassociate from religion and when you help someone, help because you can and not for what you'll be rewarded in after life. Don't be shallow.
And if nothing above convinced you, ask why doesn't any religious book tell about Dinosaurs, they are all knowing, what god is, what he does, and what his intensions are, what after life is but nothing on these creatures who's oily mess drive's our cars around, nothing about those haunting giant lizards?? What good is your education for if you'd dumb down where it matters?
