Mother of all religions

Hi,

Musing#19

Like me, many humanitarians worth his/her salt must be really disheartened and saddened by the senseless killings which are taking place in the name of religion.

We have progressed scientifically to reach the fathoms of the sea like the great whales(with submarines ) and soar in the sky Putting the high flying eagles also to shame(with rockets ),but we have regressed spiritually to such an extent that even we are not living as good human beings on this Terra fir ma. All because of religious intolerance.

God created this world. But he did not create these religions. You take any religion and any sane person will agree that religions are creation of mankind over a period of time. God created so many lovely living species, beautiful flowers with enchanting fragrances, seasons, planets, etc. etc.

We will notice that all the creations of God are full of life or they are life sustaining. Whereas man made religions have only snuffed out more lives and they are life threatening.

Religions are similar to the brands created by the marketing honchos. Like every detergent brand claims that by using that brand the clothes will be washed of all dirt and the clothes will reach their ultimate Nirvana by becoming dazzling white. Similarly all the religious bigots claim that by following their religion only every one will be washed of their sins and they will get their ultimate salvation.

In the marketing war fare they go to the extent of belittling the other brands by showing how the clothes washed with other brands become dull or get damaged and still remain dirty whereas clothes rinsed with their brands shine bright, last longer and devoid of all dirt. This we can take even with handful of salt as part of aggressive marketing as this does not cause any great damage to our fellow beings. But adopting the same aggressive method to propagate religion and trying to show one religion as superior to others is causing immense damage and destruction all over. The only thing common in the aggressive marketing of brands and religion is that there is lot of money to be made in both the cases.

We find people following all religions go through the same cycle of birth, misery, happiness, sickness and death then how any one religion can be superior to others.Like all detergents are made up of the same ingredients, similarly all religions also have the same tenets.It is only the religious fanatics who are misleading the faithfuls to fore go the good in their religion and indulge in acts which are contrary to the preaching and practices of their religion.

Let us all get converted back to our original religion called HUMANITY which is the religion of the God who is the manifestation of LOVE.

Let there be only one GOD ....................Love

and only one RELIGION .................................HUMANITY.

To be contd.................
