We humans named our Gods; we humans names ourselves a particular religion based on the name we chose for our God; we humans based our religion on a particular doctrine; we humans propagate the doctrine to the world!! And yet, it is us humans fighting with fellow humans to defend the God that we created!! Don't read me out of context, I am a staunch believer and I believe it is God that created me and is raising me up.. But it is that same God creating and raising the other fellow humans too.. What right does that give me to criticize another person created by my God because s/he calls my God with another name???
Why can't we all accept that just like our religion is precious to us, the others are equally precious to them.. All the doctrines follow the same principle "Love one another, do good to others!" The reward is different based on the doctrines we follow.. For us Christians the reward is in the after life while for some others it is to get good Karma (same again, our karma rewards us with Heaven).. If anyone teaches a religion that teaches differently then please open your eyes and check again..
It is us humans twisting the scriptures and instigating people to do things in the name of religion!! Why can't we all live harmoniously without competing on which religion is supreme?? Why does a religion need supremacy when God is the supreme power?? Why don't we understand that the God you believe in created the other person too; what right do you have to destroy it for that God??
Again, I accept atheism with the same fervour as religion.. There is enough logic to explain the onset of religion and the strong reason of myth and blind belief to follow a religion to ensure a smooth functioning of human kind and to ensure communal harmony.. But choosing to believe in a supreme power is my way of life and belief to keep me sane.. Respect each other's religious outlook rather than propogating your views to a point that gets instigating to counter it!! You need to only live the way you've been believing what your religion asks you to and you'll experience the peace and happiness that divinity grants.. People can claim the same effects through meditation, but hey, whatever works for you!!
Every religion has flaws (another sign that human interference has outgrown the divine powers) and we can work to fix ours over pointing fingers at another one.. Every belief, every practice has an explanation and it is up to us to respect it!!
As someone rightly said, "if the God that created you needs to be protected, He knows how to do it, don't act on His behalf!!" Let us not forget the principle of Love one another because thats the underlying principle that governs any religion.. I don't believe any God asks His followers to hate or do bad to another one, because a Father/Mother can never hurt their child no matter how much they disagree..
In this era where social media is growing leaps and bounds and is used effectively in every manner to propagate lots of ideas and is instigating a lot of people to use the platform to go extreme lengths to pull another God down to put theirs on a pedestal, you who's reading this, please pause and take a moment.. Let us be the ones to end something wrong than carrying the torch and burning bridges still!!! Hindu Muslim rift has been attributed as "Divide and rule policy" of the Britishers and this is taught to each of us in our History class under our freedom fighting struggles.. We are still falling for the same policy by groups taking benefit of the rift even in the current times..
God has nothing to lose or gain with a communal war but many others have too many agenda behind this!! A peaceful community is the ultimate aim of Every religion!! So think wisely about what are you acting on for His name??
