My rant on Religion

Religion has got me thinking lately.
The wars, the discrimination, superiority complex, racial attacks etc have all upset me a lot. A deep analysis (which has eroded my hours of sleep) led me to concluding that there is only one reason for all this : RELIGION.

What does religion give people : Hope, expectation, discipline, peace of mind, the strength to get out of difficult situation
This is what the people who made these religions wanted you to believe.
What religion really gives us:

Ignorance : If religion doesn't say it we don't do it. If you don't believe in evolution because religion said so I will sponsor a "Lobotomy" for you. Evolution and Intelligent design are not Parallel theories. Sending kids to school would not make them religiously backwards or send them towards the Devil but it will make them better human beings, try explaining that to the Taliban.

Discrimination: Religions have found ways to trouble people from different faith or their way of living life.
Gays can't marry because the Bible says so, Women lose their "right to choice"(more on women later), laws are made because god said so.

Honor Killings and Terrorism : Honor killings have become a way of life in some parts of the world because its a way to assert your religious beliefs into everyone. Terrorism is believed to have it's roots in Islam but the Crusades in the outset of Christianity was where this all start from. Islam has just made it more fashionable.

Religion makes you live in a state of Denial cause your parents have created a belief system that makes you scared of a guy who sits in the clouds looks at your every move. You want to give up this backward belief but then you are scared that if there is a GOD he would punish you at Judgment day.
Logically thinking How can I Man/Woman/UNWORLDLY power monitor 6 billion people 24 hours a day ? at this point everyone would say "He's GOD he possesses powers that no-one else can imagine" this is how ignorant religion has made everyone.

I would love to denounce religion but I believe it takes a lot of strength to not believe in an Invisible spaceman which I don't have right now. And besides I'm too Indian to not believe in a GOD, its the basis of an Indian person's existence and denouncing religion would mean denouncing family, community and the becoming a "Black Mark on the family" so sadly I'm not fortunate enough to denounce religion in the near future.

Sachha Sauda......? Not quite

1st thing, for the ppl who didn't read the disclaimer at the bottom the story was abt fiction and not reality and if it matched i think i am mature enuf to say wat i have to i dont have to grab the other guy's collar to.

Dera Sachha Sauda ---- PART II

I wrote abt this topic when this whole Dera Sachha Sauda thing came forward, but when i thought the deal was done and dusted it, I turned the TV and Saw the following.....

The leader of the Dera Sachha Sauda[dss] was alleged to have raped many of his dasi or sevadar's girls turn by turn. By a shocking revelation a former dasi wrote the prime minister saying that she was called by the Leader if DSS into his room where he was watching porn and then called the girl close and then told her that when she became a dasi she had surrender her body and soul to him. And so he was entitled to have sex with any of his dasis. btw the leader of the DSS also killed the Girl's brother.

I cant still believe how can people still worship a person after an alleged rape case and a Murder
. THis is India and ppl still have a blindfold of faith over their eyes and so they are blind to the obvious.

People have started thinking abt becoming holymen thinking that it's one of the best ways to make money. But wen a holy man goes bad u can see wat happens.
So ppl believe in god and also understand that there can be no substitute in the human form.


for more details keep watching INDIA TV
P.s. INdia tv dont pay me.

The Punjab Problem -Part III, the Saga Continues

With the problems in punjab becoming out of control thanx to the differences between the " Dera Sacha Sauda"[DSS](a new improved sikh secular religious sect) and the SGPC (the gurdwara governing body) Many ppl have been injured and crores worth of property damaged and its just been one day.

The DSS the description i gave u is self explainatory of the doubt the ppl shud have sikh and secular doesn't come in one sentence, doesn't mean we're racist or something but a religious institution is seldom secular.
To emphasize on the point the DSS guru's name is Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, u know where this going, the sect lacks respect for the religion the sect is based on ie Sikhism.
The guru preaches non-voilence and tolerence and secularism, but is that all.....

The plot of the problem :

Some days back the DSS published fotos of their guru dressed up as Guru Gobind Singh Ji(the sikh religion's 10th Guru) and givng Amrit (a punjabi baptism) which was not done according to sikh religion and said he was a guru ...

So the SGPC had to intervene (they r like the big brother over the sikh religion) so they said something and supporters of the DSS came on the streets of Bathinda, Punjab and wrecked havoc, going away from the non-voilence and tolerence teaching, thus putting the reputation of the DSS under even more fire.
------
The DSS was doing a good job by helping the unity of the nation but when it tried to market their sect the crossed the line and lets see wat happens in the meeting of the SGPC in Talwandi, Punjab, the DSS is in hot water and let's hope everything is fine and punjab gets back the peace and the unity between ppl is restored.

The DSS is also being compared now to the Bhidranwale (the sect which made the plot to and killed Indira Gandhi) thanx to their voilent mindset.

P.S. :-may the Akalpurkh or the Almighty bless the people with the right mindset.
