Everyone is coming up with some strategy to prove that god exists and how he is part of our religion.
The stories are really interesting though. From all these religions, there is a race in between the top 3 to put copyrights over the god and say that god belongs to our religion.
I just wonder if god really exists then what he would be thinking ? He would either be laughing or crying for the human race he created is fighting with each other on some nonsense things instead of creating something beautiful by working together.
But the good part is, every religion has some stories about what their gods can do, and what will happen at the end of the world or how you would go to hell or heaven. This does not end here, they have different offers to cleanse the soul and to wash out all the sins you have done in past. To do that all you have to do is to be a part of their religion. So you kill thousands and then you go confront your sins to god and god will forgive you ? and then what? ready for another crime? or then you would have doors opened to heaven?
Stories are really amusing but when it comes to marketing part that is where I start finding it irritating and abysmal.
I sometimes wonder why animals, plants and all the living organisms other than human have been left out of religion. Each religion should go ahead and claim the different species and categories them based on religion too.
Usually they define god with powers and what kinds of magic he could do. He could lift the mountains, he could walk on the water, he gives you the power of will where you just offer him the prayers and he would do the rest just like that. If you believe, you could lift the mountains. Wow, okey, then I believe in him and I would pray him to give me lots of money. Would I get it then ?
He sends his messengers to the earth so that he could teach humans how to live and fear god ?
You must fear god, you must convert people from other religion, if you do that you would get special place in heaven otherwise you would be drag into the hell? What the hell???
These marketing agents comes to you and tell you that our god is the only true god and other gods are fake or old. If you don't accept our religion you would go to hell to suffer.
There is really a nice saying in one of the old literature,
"
Karmanye vadhikaraste
--you have the power to act only
ma phaleshu kadachna
--you do not have the power to influence the result
Karmaphalehtur bhurma te
--therefore you must act without the anticipation of the result
sangostvakarmani
--without succumbing to inaction
"
Which makes more sense than the message where you just have to believe and pray and god will complete all your wishes.
It is us who are responsible for what we do and it is us who would pay for our mistakes, god has no role in this.
The magician also does the magic but he does not become god because he could do magic.
God can do anything or any sort of magic because he is the one and not because he can do magic.
Initially when god created humans(now there are again different stories of how god created us with different religions but lets leave that part) there was no religion no concept of family and no concept of community. As and when humans started facing trouble in the nature like heavy rain fall, tsunami, earth quake, fire he linked all this to god as it was new for him which he could not explain and it was terrifying him. Which you see common in every religion.So then he started thinking there is a power sitting above us and he is not happy because of our mistakes and thats why he is showing his anger using these mediums of destruction. So now we need to calm him down. To do that we either need to pray or we need to offer him a sacrifice. There are different kinds of sacrifices being offered to the god and mostly those are the animals(You could think how god of thunder, god of fire came into existence). If god created the entire universe, he created us, he created other animals too. Then who gave you rights to kill those animals created by god and offered to him only. Just use your common sense. Suppose you had a fight with your closet friend and then to calm you down, he breaks the gift you gave to him in past and offers that to you, would you be happy?Then how on earth you think that god would be happy with those sacrifices?
Just think this way, if you need a blood, how could your body accepts blood from someone belonging to other religion? If god had created religion, there would not have been any other religion existed. Because every creation of god is perfect and has some purpose. If you can find the mistakes in the messages from so called messengers of god then they are definitely not given by god. If god has a message, it would not change over time and there is no need for any theologian to explain that to us. It would be very simple and self explanatory and perfect in its own sense.
There are scientist who are working day and night finding out the answers of unknowns in this universe and there are stupid marketing agents spending money and time over expanding their religion.
It is totally up to us whether to believe in something that you dont see or have faith in our self and live your live and make it more meaningful than fighting with each other on these stupid things.
I am not against any religion nor I am against god. All I am saying is believe what you believe in and do what you like just dont sell your religion and insult god in doing so. God has and would never have any religion.
It is created by us and god has no role in it. So believe in what gives you positive energy. Believe what you see and dont trust anything blindly.
Life is beautiful, live and let live.
