Some questions... ???

‘Religion is myth which has to be maintained for the masses’
- DAN BROWN

Most of the autocracies by and on the mankind are committed under the cloak of religion. Religion for ages and more so today is been used as a tool for satisfying ends of twisted minded politicians and other mercenaries…they easily make (religious) people like us pawns and masses are ready to give, take and destroy lives in the name of their god. What religion does is that it encourages mob tendencies...Man hides himself in the crowd and commits such horrendous deeds which he can never dream of doing as an Individual.

Some question may already be propping inside your head now…What is this guy saying???
…should religion be denounced altogether???
…isn’t this blasphemy???
…where will we find God then???
…Should we all become atheist???
Well, I won’t give answers here…I am sorry…

All that I’ll convey though is that the abstraction of God as most of us have today is some what twitched.What we fail to understand is that God and religion are different concepts.
Religion is the set of external rules and laws which are very much man made…people like you and me have framed it…and it was done very much according to the need of the times…
But God is not man made…
God can’t be reached following these man made customs...
He is also not some one watching you over some satellite or hidden cameras...
He is one inside u...
Look within he is your very own conscience...
You have 2 be good not because some secret agent of god is watching u but because that inner self is watching...the bigger u is watching...
You need not do certain things and abstain of some just because your religion tells you. What does the YOU inside of you says???
let your individuality rise my friend. Let him speak…he is the God within you…believe me.
Religion asks us to fear gods but I ask. do u think we need to???

I would like to ask here which God will be pleased if you kill, loot or rape people just because they follow the customs and rituals different from yours…or fathers of forefathers of some particular religion had committed some cruelty,injustice or abused yours???
But people still manage to commit these crimes…riots do happen…wars are still fought… this is so because these people manage to hide themselves in mob, in the mob of religious people. They feel that they’ve got the license…this is very unfortunate that your religion which teaches love, peace, humanity and all such virtues gives such sanctions…

So what is the solution???
And again I’ll say … I am sorry…I don’t have it.
But what I do have are questions…these questions need to be asked…asked to yourself today, tomorrow and day after day…

Don’t denounce your religion but still ask yourself…
...Why do I follow this religion???
...Do I need to follow this religion just because I was born in it???
...Should my children be born in a religion or a religion be born in them???

Its not necessary that you come up with answers…in fact u don’t need to….for the time being questions alone would suffice and believe me your God will not be angry at you asking questions.

All this said (rather asked), is without disregard of any particular religion, faith etc. And I also understand that there may be thousand years of legacy behind the customs that you are following but dude that was thousand years back…
