PARADOXICALLY SPEAKING
Wanted !
United Nations Religious Organization (UNRO)
Religions arose to civilize people. That's what they want all of us to believe;
Contrary to what they say, we painfully find that - in today's world, religions essentially teach Hatred against whoever does not belong to their particular Religion.
LOVE ALL - BUT, "THEY" ARE NOT GOOD - is the essence of today's RELIGION. Some may even say : HATE THEM - KILL THEM - even if you don't love our people.
At the minimum, most of them tell Children - look at them, they are going to hell, while, we are all going to heaven. Brainwashing the children is an essential task, religions indulge in. Else, as Grown ups, people may not believe much of what they say.
If Yours is an exception to this, I would be glad to hear that. But, if we as children are brainwashed this way - the world cannot but be full of hatred and bloody wars, FAR, FAR away from the LOVE the religions profess to teach.
Some have made this into school curriculum - convert or kill those, who do not belong to us. Things like that. Approximating to that. History is replete with killing of even very old people, women and children of other religions - in the name of religion and God.
Do you honestly feel that this could have been God's teaching?
Religions tell us the histories of people from the times of GOD - and these are totally inconsistent with every scientific theory of evolution, and far away from any reasonable LOGIC.
Even so, had all those histories from different religions been identical, it would have been wonderful. Even if they were factually incorrect, it would have been easier to accept them as History. But, there are serious differences among religions - on almost every thing concerning WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH- and therefore what should be done when alive.
So, world built by God with so many different religions, differing so wildly from each other - is not the ideal world in which peace and love will rule. So, from one perspective, God doesn't seem to be an ideal creator. Or perhaps, he has other reasons for creating such a world, which he does not reveal in THE BOOK.
In religion, people are ordained to be essentially Blind.
Religion wants you to have FAITH. But Faith in what?
If EARTH IS FLAT,as per your BOOK, it is. You can't question it. No amount of evidence will be accepted by your religion to the contrary.
For instance, many things that Einstein, Newton and other scientists found were normally beyond the human mind's reach. Likewise, what Patanjali wrote as YOGASUTRAS is absolute science.
They, much like religious leaders, had special "revelations" of those things to them - and now they have largely become part of LOGICAL SCIENCE.Yet, some religions fail to accept them as science.
The problem with religion is - where LOGIC clearly shows that - what religion says is very obviously and clearly wrong or unethical; even there, you and I are directed to have BLIND FAITH in such teachings. Else, we go to Hell, they warn.
Today, most wars across the world are essentially religious wars. There seems to be no hope of at least the major religions of the world ever reconciling to each other and living in harmony - without trying to convert (ELSE, KILL ??) each other - constantly.
Intra-religious hostilities and wars are also - another running feature of religious History.
Wasn't there a time when there were none of these religions?
There were Good and honest people in those days, people who honestly searched for TRUTH. Perhaps they found it too. And they seem to have said - YOU, and only YOU, have to search, and inside yourself, and you will find the TRUTH there.
Perhaps that is the WAY. The only way.
Until You and I find the way (and the Goal) within us - we need a way to stop all this HATRED from the people of faith.
Or, there is another middle path.
People with robust LOVE, COMMON SENSE & WISDOM - from different religions must come together, sit in concert, study all religions deeply - and come to some form of common, universally acceptable religion, free from logical pot holes and pit falls, enabling future correction of any currently held beliefs, and laying a foundation for a peaceful and love-filled world here - and a heaven (minimum) hereafter.
It is much like the UNO on the Political plat form. We need United Nations Religious Organization, which functions on the basis of REAL LOVE for all.
PS : I wish to love all people, irrespective of religion. Many readers do. We are all God's children - or so we believe. Many great visionaries say - Have an Impossible Dream - for the world's Good. May this Dream come true.
=Yours
