In the Name of Almighty


The easiest thing or one of the easiest thing in the world according to me is convert a religious person into a fanatic, trust me its not that difficult task but there should be one criteria, he should be "religious" to the best of my knowledge no atheist has ever killed a bunch of people or burned an entire city or raped someone because he or they doesn't believe in what he believes in, existence of God is an entirely different debate. Only very recently I came to know the content of the "satanic verses" by Rushdie, astonishingly the book is very very head of his times, decades before religion mixed up with extremism. May be he smelled the rat before most of us! The book is very relevate today.

Religion has to be considered as an interpretation of something unknown, from different Geographies but if One decides to take it seriously then he will end up to be an nuisance to others because today many world religious BODIES are closely mixed up with politics and like the chaos theory which says even the fluttering wings of a butterfly is connected with violent volcanic eruptions, these members elected to the high religious status is confusingly and beyond doubt connected with international politics. So if you are religiously following the words of you religious head who is present today, then there are high chances that you are politically driven. I may sound like a cynical hypocrite but sicne this is a serious issue, I am okay even if my reputation as a "nice man" is hurt, I am stating are some raw facts!

Its a popular belief in South India that St.Thomas visited some parts of South India and have even made some Crosses with his bare hands, he is considered as the man who started preaching Christianity in India but then in the year '03, Pope the head of Catholic Church, considered as the most powerful religious head visited Pakistan and stated that St.Thomas has never gone beyond Western India during his days! "What the HELL?" many Christians who have heard this then would have asked to themselves, there are millions of people in India who believed and still believes that St.Thomas visited India! any one with a business minded or even with common sense can easily understand the reason for pope's shift, his present need may be is to get more people into his religion in the "Western India" now Pakistan!! there are very little religious heads who can act without political pressure and work with doing politics. The example of pope's shift is just some of the example, there are many bizarre stands and claims claimed by most of the powerful religious heads, they some how are not able to stick to the basic rules of a religious head, to renounce, that seem to be last word in the agenda and the first word while giving out advises to the masses, today world extremists are highly motivated through religious texts whether they are interpreting or misinterpreting is a different issue.

One major reason which I think is the reason behind religious hatred is when one follows a religious text he becomes so immersed in it and believes that
"who ever is not with the religion is against the religion."
Sadly a religious text doesn't mention the existence of an other religion, the people who wrote the text would have never dreamed that connecting to people will be so easy though every religious person believes the people who wrote the scriptures knew everything. Had they know "everything" they could have avoided millions of deaths in the name of God. But since it was human beings who wrote things for the betterment of the society (though I don't completely agree with what many scriptures suggest) they never managed to foresee that world will shrinked to size of Giga Bytes and Tera Bytes one day.

These Scriptures should be seen in poetic view and some parts of it should not and cannot be judged with an analytical mind, comparing one with an other and selecting the best wont give a solution. Even if the whole is converted into a single religion the problem won't end.

Religion lies in the eye of the beholder, pretty much like "beauty" if you fight over the superiority over a religion and claim yours is the best it is pretty much like claiming
"the mirage which is visible to my eyes is the only one!!"
Educated people and people with common sense are also not able to sense or look though this prism. Heaven and Hell are not any geographical places located on the outskirts of the Orbit, Heaven and Hell is what we make out of our life now and here, if we are not able to understand this simple concept and live together than we are not worth having our 6th sense. We will easily fall prey and continue to live our life flirting with danger and end our lives being a pawn in the hands of the evil who is not in hell but very much present in our modern society. Fortunately or unfortunately language is the only source of communication and I can tell only to "THINK" THINK AND THINK"

if lord is the almighty he will do things to protect himself there is no need for us to kill our fellow beings to satisfy the almighty.
Another sorry state which is embedded with today's general psyche is punishing your friend for the mistakes done by you, it is considered as the best revenge, I guess the universal or the religious brotherhood has been misunderstood. At least educated and thinking people should understand the politics which happens behind the scenes. Religion should be a very personal relationship between you and the maker and it should never be carried on your sleeves, at least for the peace and harmony of the society. Its up to us to understand the trap, we should not fall prey to the moves of politicians and religious theories. Killing or hurting innocents for god's sake is utter foolishness, God is no racist to separate people on the basis of colour, place of birth or even faith. Hating itself is a human nature not God's way of responding, The almighty has nothing to prove and nothing to show, its always the people who interpret things in the best chaotic manner for vested interest and do things on blind faith, if killing a sect of people is seen as a way to please lord then he must be the biggest racist, sadly that is how many people believe. bombing and killing innocents is answer to nothing but it only raises more question on how religion has indirectly spoiled humanity!! of course through misinterpretation that is why I say indirectly. You can trust a man who says "My Way or No Way" but think twice when a man says "My Way is the ONLY WAY and all the others lead to Hell" If I have an option to label the religious conversions, I will suggest the above caption to label them
