Folly of creators of religion…
Today when people fight endlessly over the name of religions, I ponder over the initiation of it… I mean people initially were clustered in areas across the world… scholars in each of those areas created religions in order to keep a check on the people… to prevent them from vices and to help them lead a pious life… little did they knw that when people from each of those areas came in front of each other clashes would result from the little ‘opposites’ mentioned in the holy books of each religions…by opposites I mean while sme religion considers a particular animal as holy the other religion eats it and considers some other animal holy which is further eaten by a third religion… so with such small opposites clashes were bound to happen… and with power hungry people around in all ages these ego clashes have now progressed to this present scenario… I personally feel that its now time to come up with a different religion of ‘HUMANITY’ involving all the people of the world irrespective of their present religion, so that we may live in a peaceful world… I know what I think would be considered by most of you as ‘FICTION’… still its human to hope… no religion prohibits it…

God created man. Man's best (or worst, in the sense of being counterproductive) invention is religion.
Hi,
I respectfully disagree with this.
You being a doctor should know. Take the example of all the wonderful drugs in medical science. For example, morphine - when used as a pain reliever this drug is a blessing. But when abused it can cause addiction and even death. Does the devil lie in the medicine itself - no. It is the motive that makes it evil or good. We humans have made god in our image and we fight over Him when we don't agree with each others' versions of Him. If it were not for humans, religion would never have got this bad name. The fault is not in religion, the fault is in humans who understand very little of it.
Religion, still, is the best means for achieving excellence in the human realm; to evolve into something better, to understand the unity of this universe, to realize the ultimate truth that god is one, different people call Him by different names (ekam sat viprah bahudaa vadanti). Hope you think over this deeply.
