In the name of God, heaven awaits sinners ?
This little blue marble called earth has a population of approximately 7 billion people. Of these 7 billions people, approximately 6 billion people belonged to the four major religions of Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism. The balance 1 billion people embraced not less than 30 type of different religions. And within each religion, there are also various sects or groupings.
With the exception of Christianity, no one single religion command more than 30 percent of the population. So, who are we to say that only our religion deserved the merits of God as the TRUE religion ? In this perspective, why are some of us willingly allowed ourselves to be misguided to commit misdeeds against followers of other religions in the name of God. What perverted pleasures can we derived by dominating and wiping out other religions ?
We go around the world crusading prevention of cruelty to animals and to protect endangered species, but are illogically incapable of appreciating and respecting each other cultures and religions. We glorify death over life, and violence over peace in the name of religion, Is human life of lesser worth compared to animals ? Some of us fellow human beings are indeed a bunch of monkeys swinging from tree to tree shouting incoherent languages demanding to be respected with our demented religious upbringings.
Almost all religion believe in the existence of a single universal God. All religions claimed to preach love and respect, but in practise, religions had been the main causes of all major violences and instabilities in the world. Looking at the various religiously inspired conflicts, it does gave an impression that, religions have lost its spiritual sense of morality, and had been consistently degraded into political movements to achieve satanic agenda.
In my adult life, I do encountered many senseless religious preaching in the name of the so called all merciful God. There are always religious people of various religions trying very genuinely to preach the wholesome goodness of their religions, and with all sincerity trying convert people into theirs. For they single heartedly believed that their religion is the only TRUE religion, and their GOD the only TRUE God. But, when their religious values are not accepted or when they failed to convert people from other religions, they became irrational animals with misplaced angers and hatreds violently venting their frustrations and wanting non believers to die in hell.
There are also times, I had been directly or indirectly preached by followers of other religions and enticed with the concept of heaven and hell. I was told, if I convert out from my religion, salvations awaits me, and I will be rewarded with an after life of paradise in heaven. The beautiful part is, I will be given many beautiful virgins, tasty wine, succulent fruits, and good foods. Whatever I do in the name of my new found God, be it a criminal intent, barbaric act, or otherwise, I shall gain credit points on my way to heaven. The sad part is, if I do not convert, no matter how many good deeds I performed, an unbearable after-life of burning hell awaits me. So much about the peaceful and forgiving natures of some religions with actions inconsistent with the preached words.
As far as I am concerned, religion should always be remained as a private and individual matter. Individual rights to embrace religions of their own choice should be respected and protected at all costs. Each and everyone of us has our own spiritual and material path to pursue. For that matter, be as religious and as spiritual as the good book dictated, but in the best interest of humanity, have the right mindfulness to keep our belief to ourself and in the privacy of our own homes. Most religions are formed many hundreds or perhaps thousands of years ago, what worked then as a political movement to unite people does not necessarily works now in this modern age. We are now in the 21st century, it would be better for the sake of humanity if all of those so called religious people and the followers of all religions appreciate and respect the diversities of other religions. Wouldn't it be better to live a peaceful and material life ethically and respectful of other people's religions ?
Would we be able to go to heaven with lots of credit points to redeem virgins, wine, and good foods by over jealously imposing our religious values on others ? For that matter, would we be able to have a good after life by trespassing and transgressing the religious rights of other people through intimidations, violences, harassments, and threats ? Well, I don't really know whether there is a promised heaven, we will only know after we are dead, and dead man tells no tales. Religion is after all an illogical science of promised illusions and delibrate confusions. A piece of sincere advise, if your religion dictate you to disrespect other religions and encourage you to commit criminal and wrongful acts in the name of your God, perhaps you should seriously assess the teaching of your religions logically and ethically. Let us not get confused by preachings of misguided hatreds and intolerances, or be deluded by the promise of pleasurable heaven to cause harms on others.
So, the next time some body come to you with the statement beginning with “in the name of God....”, please avoid them at all cost ! Let's be practical, do you think God actually commissioned these harlots to spread the messages of narrow-mindedness and ignorance ? If God has a message for you, he will communicate to you directly. The all powerful and almighty God does not need misguided sinners to spread his messages.
Like it or not, religion can be manipulated into a poweful weapon of mass deception. In the name of God, what deceits are human beings incapable of ? In the name of God, evil has become us !
