When Religion Fails The Purpose

Religion , the one word which has contributed immensely in human evolution and the one word which has let to killing of thousands in its name. Religion , the one word which can unite humans and one word which can divide humans.

Nothing has played more sensitive role in human race than religion. People have died for sake of religion , people have killed for sake of religion , people have done unimaginable to fellow human beings in name of religion , people have done totally selfless things which can be said as pinnacle of humanity for sake of religion.

Religion be it be any claims to be divine revelation ,directly from god. In some religion god is said to have manifested HIMSELF as human while in some religion god choose a person or made some special person born as messiah or messenger who brought message of god on earth.

The message of one god which applies to all human beings. God which rates human beings with one eye . God who wants human race to do good , avoid sins and live life as per rules/guidelines which are given in religious scriptures.

So purpose of religion is assisting humans to reach god , live righteous life and attain heaven (as in case of some religion ) or salvation (as in case of some religion).

Now since religion is for entire human race and god views all as equals why do we have fights, killings , murders , riots and such things in name of religion.

A news from pakistan stated that a hindu community was attacked by 150 tribesman. Reason?. A hindu boy drank water from outside of mosque!!!!!!!!!!!!

Similarly when a foreigner entered a well known temple in India , entire temple was washed by milk to clean temple since foreigners are prohibited!!!!!!!!. Similar things had happened when a famous heroine claimed to have entered a temple.

When I was in college , along with my friends I went to a church to celebrate Christmas. I was not welcomed there and people looked at me as if i am from Jupiter as soon as my non christian identity got reviled!!!!!!!!!

Religion fails the purpose if ‘we are better than fellow person because of our faith’ enters the brain. Ego , boasting , differentiating , evaluating , judging is human trait .

Ironically most religion claim to believe in god’s judgment but at first instinct try to judge others on basis of one’s own standards.

When Religion Fails The Purpose , incidents like above occur.
