Our religion is not our choice

We all know that our religion is not our choice. We have inherited this religion from our forefathers. We never chose our religion. The parents brought us up as per norms of the religion in which they themselves had been trained and since our birth we are following the same, whether we are liking that religion or we are not liking that religion. It is on record that at times people had been forced to change their religion and convert to the religion of their rulers and if they did not agree, there are instances where they had been killed . In India the Muslim rulers had been converting the people to the Muslim fold and we have heard that during the time of Aurangzeb there had been forced conversions and we have also heard that two younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th Guru of the Sikhs had been bricked alive at Sirhind and this was done in times of Aurangzeb. There are instances when these Muslim rulers had been burning Hindu religious books and had been demolishing Hindu Temples and on those very places from where they had demolished Hindu Temples, they had been constructing religious places of their own religion just to establish that the Muslim religion is more stronger that of Hindus. And the present Muslims either in India or in Pakistan , their forefathers had not come from abroad but mostly they are Hindu Conferts. Therefore, the people who are following the present religion here in India and in Pakistan are not original Muslims or original Christians. Most of them are converts.

There are instances where the people are still converting or are persuaded to convert, but this conversion is still going on in each part of the world. When peopkle convert from one religion to another, they change their way of life, but they are not wholly changed and therefore, from these people we are giving birth to a new religion which they call humanity. There are people who are converting as Secular and there are people who are converting as fundamentalists. The fundamentalists are at war. They are converting as terrorists and as rioters and it is on record that they are killing innocent people when none of the religions on this earth is approving these killings. To give birth and to take life of man had been recognized as the realm of God, but these religious people are taking this work in their own hands and thus they are violating the jurisdictions prescribed by God but still they claim that they are near to God.

It must be admitted that these religions would not merge and form one religion. Because of these impossibility, a new set of people is coming out and they are calling themselves as Secular. They are really secular or they are just showing all these changes, is a question which cannot be answered at this stage because people in India are calling themselves as secular, but there are people who are still Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims and Christians and they are at war because there4 are terrorists and rioters and they are killing innocent people. The minorities are turning terrorists and the majority is blamed for riots in India. They are trying to equal the killings and if we count, at least 2,00,000 people might have been killed through terrorism or riots. This is the situation in a secular country and now people have started demanding reservations on the basis of religions and the Dalits are also declaring that they should be allowed to become full-fledged citizens of India.

Religions are taking place in politics and now the people are converting every religion as a political identity because politics give them power and there are chances when the religions shall be political parties. Man may be reaching God through these religions or not, but there are chances they shall establish governments on the basis of religions and all the people in other religions shall be slaves or second rated citizen in those religiously dominated countries. There is no chance that these religions shall play a good role in this world; The people are not following the principles laid down in religious books.

God and Religion have lost their role

Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

If we go deep into the mind of this man on earth we come to the conclusion that this man on this earth has lost faith in God and he is following a religion in a formal way. Most of the religions and people in those religions have taken up their religions as political units and they have started to surpass the other religions. They are coming with new meanings of their texts and they are telling the people that their religions is telling something which is not available in texts of other religions. Similarly they are coming with stories which are in their mythologies and they are telling us that their prophets were more powerful than prophets in other religions.

In fact that this man has traveled centuries when he firstly declared that there is a God who had created this world, this universe and then this man on this earth. They gave all power to God and then they started worshiping and praying before that God. They had been on this path since centuries and we have seen that this man could not become religious nor he could completely had faith in God and left all his activities to God. We have seen that this man had been praying to God but he never left his own efforts. There had been prayers, but at the same time this man had been at work and we have noted that at most of the times this man had been believing in his own efforts and he was just having some help from the side of God. But he had been successful he never thanked God but had been boasting that he himself had been working hard and that is the reason, he could succeed.

The man had been believing in one of their religions on this earth and he had been hating the people in the other religions and it is on record that people in one religion had been trying to persuade others to join their religion and if they had been powerful they had been forcing conversion and it is also on record that the people who were not agreeing to convert were killed . It is also on record that that the religious places of one religions had been demolished and on those very places the rulers had been constructing religious places of their own religions, though no religious books allows such conversions and such demolitions. All these non-religious acts had been there which clearly means that this man had not been obeying the directions given to them by their prophets.

Today when the man has entered the age of science and technology, he has adopted a new way of life. If they are performing some religious ceremonies these are just formal and they try to establish that their religion is still alive. If we conduct a survey of police stations, the courts and the jails, we shall find people of all the religions and we shall find that they all had been committing crimes, sins and misconducts of the same type irrespective of their religions. When they people commit some crime, sin or misconduct they forget to which religion they belong. Similarly when they commit crimes, sins and misconducts, they forget that God is there and He shall be punishing them. It seems the people have got no real faith in God and in any religion because they had been violating all the norms set by God and by the religions and history is full of crimes, sins and misconducts. No religion and even God could not set this man right. Some wise people, some intellectuals and scholars had been writing down explanations of religious texts and some had been writing books on art of living and we have noted that instead of original texts, the people are liking these new books and new philosophy of life. They are trying to follow this new philosophy and they have started saying that old religions are making us fundamentalists and the present age does not like people who are fundamentalists. There is war between these two sets of people and one has turned terrorists and the other has turned rioter and they both are killing the people of the other wing. The whole world has become Kurkshetra and nobody on this earth is safe. No country is safe and that is the reason most of the time of the people is spent in attacking others and most of the time is spent in saving oneself. No body know that would be the next step of this man on this earth when he shall not be believing in God and in religion.

Andrew asked:


In the frames of this article we are going to condemn science and the persons who work on this field, and the wrong statements made by the scientists. Then, we are going to point out the resemblance of art and science and their differences. It goes without saying that criticism is obvious for any science and, specially, for art. But not any critics can be accepted, it is very important to prove the facts and be ready to explain all the points. So, in the article we try to propose the elements of critics and the facts.

First of all, science mistakably regarded as religion and with time got the same status and the same rights to influence on people. On the day of its birth science supposed to develop and become a theory and, by the way, to get the necessary qualities in order to replace the religion and to be ready to give the answers on the questions on which religion could not answered. Using different methods and techniques in XXI century science had enough powers to stand on the place of religion, it turned to be the issue for faith and even for devotion. Such situation developed very quickly and the trust in science turned into unquestionable correctness.

Emile Durkheim was first who stated the science as the theory. Such theory had the opportunity to provide with enough time and proposed official religion but the base for it was science. The presence of great number of science permit the belief in the facts which were proposed by them and it was the reason for quick replacing of the religion on the second place even in the questions concerning the creation of the world. But such unquestionably facts were of double nature. First of all, science is grounded on the experience and it is certainly impossible to make any experiences on the creation of the world and the correct facts are still unknown. Secondly, science and religion are very different in structure and size, so it is wrong to stand these two things as science and religion into one row.
