i am going against my own better judgment to keep away from inflammable topics by posting here, Living in different parts of the world and seeing many different caste culture creed religion and being from a family who fortunately are very broad minded I have been directly related to different religion from marriage etc. I am prolly an agnostic as best as i can define myself. As every one in the world already know, and been said zillion times before, i just repeat it just for name sake, Human being is basically an animal who is born with the tendency to survive, all the so called 7 sins is in our true nature. The ability to think and act based on good thoughts sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. In the past with minimal development in science, tech, maths, philosophy etc etc religious teaching were used to keep the man thinking and build up a sort of good vs evil, heaven vs hell theory. This helped the common man and the population as such to reach and follow a consensus as to what we should and should not be doing, In short all the books taught one and the same think... DO NO HARM TO OTHERS. a person who follows his own religious book will be a true believer and he will do no harm to others. for drawing the example from the books of two contrasting religion as you call them, both koran and bible have all the story and all the teaching almost very identical. In fact the koran has the teaching that those who follow any of the "holy" books to the tee will attain "heaven". So where did we go wrong, we went wrong by the mere fact that deep inside we are all filthy animals. No matter where in this world there will be assholes who will try to use the religion as a cover for what ever economical/political advantage, If there is only one religion in a nation then they will bring in caste/ race/ gender some thing to suit their purpose. so what ever you see now is just a few people trying to play the rest of the world. its not just one religion, every religion has been used as a cover by some one or some group. Just imagine, just because of what one hitler did, will it be wise to call their action as christian terrorism? just like that here are some examples, even from the epitome of so called peace "buddist monks" (all random Google searches just to site examples for the religion in question) http://my.opera.com/DANBUZU/blog/2012/07/12/why-the-genocide-of-burmese-muslims http://indianterrorism.bravepages.com/gujarat%20pictures%202.htm some pics in here are really bad, duly adviced http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Bosnian-Serbs-admit-to-Muslim-massacre-2749946.php now the argument is not, they did it so the other did it etc, every life lost was precious and was dear and close to some one. 1, 5, 300, 7000 doesn't matter as long as this cycle of hate from our own selfs keep building. Cycle of hate propagated by some and fueled by other media who all end up benefiting. Proper education, economic strength, freedom, employment, health , quality of life etc is what we should be promoting and not trying to trash and fight for or against some unscrupulous fellows. But that an utopian society which will never exist, as our human brain is tuned in a way that we need the hate center to be active, against some thing. I guess, Only an alien invasion can save us now by uniting all of us. there is only one question to be asked when ever you see some of these atrocities. WHO BENEFITS? for eg some assholes did 911 as they claim in the name of religion, who gained what? certainly not islam as it became one of the most hated religion in the world, certainly not muslims as they are shunned upon by rest of the world. Huge war lot more death and in the end just few people walk away better than this all started. lastly, go out and meet some american muslims like Biker boy here, he will be one of the nicest person you know and might even be your best friend if you give him the chance. Ask any one around if they know any single muslim in USA who they know in person who wants some thing bad for this country, i bet you wouldnt find even single soul who will turn back on this place who provide them food and shelter. Of course you will find one in a million who is walking around with the wrong motive, but he doesnt define the rest of the one million. i say at least in here, lets just have one religion, RIDING and just keep doing that to clean our souls.
