MLew asked:


I am considering enrolling my daughter in a preschool that uses A Beka, but we are not religious and I am kind of against teaching religion to a 3 year old. Are the daily lessons all about God?
Okay, I spoke with the director of the school and she said they do not touch religion at all. Has anyone ever done that and how is it?

Dalip Singh Wasan asked:



Religion started reformation?

Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

If we go deep and trace the history of this man, we come to the conclusion that the man had gone astray and the people who started reforming this man and giving him right directions are really the founders of religion. They prepared codes for the people and the people who started following those codes turned into a separate unit and the people who were not coming to that code were forming a separate unit. At a later stage, more and more people had been establishing these codes of conducts and they started giving these units separate names. Today, we call these units as religions and sub religions.

It is on record that the people who started writing these codes were creating fear in the mind of this man and declared that those who are not following these codes shall be punished either in this world or the world to which they go after their death. These are the people who gave the ultimate name to the most powerful unit as God. They told the followers that God is supreme and we all have been sent on this earth by that Supreme Power. They gave different names to this Supreme Power and they also told us that every person who is created and sent on this earth has got a luck and this luck and destiny is written by that God and this work is done when the man is sent on this earth. They also told us that this luck is written only once and there are no chances to change this because the file on which this luck and destiny is recorded by God is never recalled by God for correction and change. So the man has to suffer or enjoy as per this writing and he is not in a position to get this change. The people who were writing down these codes also told us that there is an authority appointed by God who takes all accounts when we die and if our good works are on higher side, we could be given Heaven and if the number of bad works are on higher side, then we are given Hell. Some people get salvation and they never visit this earth once again.

All these entries in the codes give us guidance and this work is on since time immemorial and it is still on. But we must accept that this man is listening to all, but in very rare cases, this man follows the directions given in religious books and when confronted, he gives an explanation that it is very difficult to follow code of conducts given in religious books.

In due course, in stead of following the items given in religious books, the people started dividing themselves in names of religions and it is also on record that a sense of competition came into being. The religions are running in a race and they are trying to compete and come forward winners. They are utilizing all the methods to win this race. It is on record that they had been killing the people in other religions. It is also on record that they had been converting others to their own fold and if need be, they utilized force and if need be, they killed the people who were not agreeing to convert. It is on record that they had been destroying religious places of those in the opposing groups. It is also on record that all these terrorist and rioter groups are formed and established on the basis of religions which are fighting amongst each other. And in spite of the fact that people are pronouncing religious toleration and secularism, they are still fighting as terrorists and rioters.

If we go deep we find that all the religions are telling us the same things about God, about this man, about the luck, about the accounts taking, about the Hell, about the Hell, about the prayer and other religious discourses. But still they are divided and the people who established all these religions, if come to this life once again, they shall be sorry to note that what they had founded, all has gone wrong and some Devil Type force has started functioning in this man and it has gone astray. At present even governments are not in a position to control this man because they too are siding with one group of the other and their conduct is under doubt in each country.

We have noted that so many people have started explaining the principles laid down in all these religious books, but at the same time we note that these preachers are also trying to establish that the religious book they are preaching is the best in the world which clearly means they are dividing the people and they are not having any desire in their mind that this man should unite. We had seen in history that in India one ruler known in name of Akbar the great tried to establish one common religion in the name of ‘ Din I Illahi’ but he failed because his own people did not allow him to lead that organization. Similarly Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth Guru of the Sikhs forwarded this concept of common religion when he compiled Shri Guru Granth Sahib in which he included works of all the saints and Bhagatas irrespective of their religion, caste, colour and creed. But later on this Guru Granth sahib became the religious book of the Sikhs and the others are not accepting this Granth as their own religious book. So the Sikhs too got a separate religious book of their own and on the basis of this Granth they could declare that they are also a separate religion and they have actually been allowed and recognized as a separate religion.

Today, none of us is trying to establish a common religion. We are separating and going far away from each other. All the people in different religions are at fight and there is no love lost in between these religions and people in different religions. We have introduced some concepts of religious toleration and secularism in each constitution in the world, but all these are paper transactions and people are still at fight and they are killing people in name of religions either as terrorists or as rioters or in wars. Therefore, we can pray that God Himself should come down on this earth and He should set the things right and must establish the world which was in His mind when He was establishing this world.

I was watching Untold Stories of the ER and a the mother of a boy who had lost alot of blood would not allow him to have a transfusion. The show said it was because of their religion, but did not say what religion it was. Luckily social services signed him to a temporary guardian and he got the blood.

Dalip Singh Wasan asked:


Religion – a way of devotion

Time has come when all the people on this earth must decide that they shall be having their religion, but they shall not allow religion to enter in their day to day life when then are dealing with people from other religions. They shall be reciting religious books of their own religion and they shall be following all the religious ceremonies, but they shall see that they are not interfering in the religious affairs of others nor they shall try to establish that their religion and its principles are better than the principles of another religion. They shall ensure that their religion is not standing in their way when they are dealing with people of other religions.

If we read and try to understand we shall come to the conclusion that life principles laid down in all the religious books of the world are telling us the same things, though in different languages and in different styles. There is nothing different in any of the religions and that is the reason, all the religions have accepted that there is one and only one God and all the people on this earth are children of the same God and therefore, though in different countries and in different form, they all are members of one and same family. they are not stranger to each other nor any religion says that it is the best religion on the earth and therefore, all the people in different religions should merge in that religion.

Since we have born in a religion and we have been brought up as per norms of that religion, we are having a right to follow those norms and principles till we are alive, there should be none on this earth who should be allowed to stop us from following our own norms. But time has come when we should try to individualize these norms to us and we may read and recite religious books of our own and we may pray as per norms prescribed, but religion should not go beyond that stage. All are our own people and therefore, when we discriminate, hate, kill or stop or convert someone to our own religion, we are not serving our religion, but we are insulting our own religion and we are actually committing a crime, a sin or a misconduct. We should live in this world as members of one family and time has come when we shall have to allow family bonds i.e. marriages between people of different religions. We shall be developing relations beyond friendship and we shall have to see that others are not feeling unsafe when they are with people of another religion.

It is very strange when people are dividing on the basis of religion and it is further strange when countries are being established on the basis of religions. We should be sorry to note that one section of people turning terrorists and the other sets of people are turning rioters. Both are killing the people who are also members of the same family.

Time has come when we should keep our religion as our individual concern and we should start thinking that no religion is in danger and no religion is having supper power and the minorities are their slaves. All are equal and we should see that this equality is maintained. We are heading toward one country and ultimately the people of the3 world shall have to unite in one country and time shall come when the people shall be having one religion and that shall be a common religion ‘humanity’ and we all shall become members of one family. That is the final goal and once that goal is achieved, this world shall become Heaven and none shall long for Heaven beyond this world.

I picked this book up at someones house when I slept over once and read the first chapter and loved it! I think the main character is Jesus’s best friend or brother or unknown disciple but he’s a real prankster and rude as well, and he is reincarnated in the modern day. From there the book jumps back and forth from retelling the jesus story through this guys eyes, and telling of his modern day adventure and why God has chosen to reincarnate him. I want to read this so bad! Does someone know what it is called?

I am not saying any are good now. But to say that there is no way a religion could be beneficial is not as accurate as atheists likes to think they are.
