Any religion can be a double edge sword

Posted: Jan 31, 2009 Sat 04:44 am     Views: 338    Interacts: 4

Every religion, every philosophy, every social reform can be a double edge sword, and has been a double edge sword. It all depends upon how people use it. A sick mind will always find sickness in any thing, and sublime the Sacred.

Folks, stop this stupid religiosity and stupider nationality.

Live to learn from each other and learn to live, you Chowk zombies.

caste system means only person born as hindu can be hindu,others can not adopt hindu religion as a matter of convinience( like fiza and chand took to islam just to get married).
I have not even heard this Yogi,s name, even if such people are there they are very weak and insignificant compared to taliban which has defeated pak army in SWAT, apart from arms and ammunition islam is also a potent weapon of taliban
Yes christians may be converting poor to their fold but this does not amount to coersion,crusaders converted muslims to christanity only once by force in spain about 600 years ago, but before that muslims had coverted christians by coersion.other than that there is no record of christians converting other religionists to their fold by force or coersion.
Fundamentalists of Judaism do not have any hold even on jewish society as most jews (70%)are athiests and do not even visit synagogue even once in a year (compare muslims going to mosque 5 times daily)They(fundoos) becoming harmfull to others is remote as they can never get hold of state apparatus (like taliban may in pakistan).
Gurunanak.s kirpan is a symbolic tool and identity of sikh,ther is no record of sikhs ever getting in to terrorism with kirpan,yes in 1980's they did indulge in terrorism withAK-47 provided by pakistan
Besides all this there is no record of indiduals converting to these religions just for covinence sake,the way hindus take up islam just to have second wife,but in this game woman is the loser as divine islamic laws are heavily loaded against woman

What about caste system of Hinduism?
What about Yogi Adityanath's brand of Hinduism?
What about Christian crusades and missionaries all over the world - which converted millions of so called untouchables to Christianity? What about abnominal Church practices?
What about Dov Lior's fundamentalist Judaism?
What about Athuraliye Rathana's brand of Buddhism?
What about Guru Nanak's kirpan?
And so on and so forth.
Stop this mask of 'holier than thou'
On the other side what about Rumi and Hafiz and all Sufi saints?
They were inspired by Quran. They inspired millions of Hindus and Jews and Christians. What about thousand of years of living peacefully of Jewish and Hindu and other communities and scholars within Islamic empires?
So on and so forth.
Get over this hate which is consuming your heart and begin to live

Mere proclaimation is meaningless, you have to give examples.I have given ex of Fiza who changed religion to islam for her convenience but got the shock of her life due to provisions of islam only. Religions like Hindu/Parsi/Jews get their members due to births only and no conversion is allowed.Other religions like budhists /Christians/Sikhs/Jains allow only voluntary conversion and never coercion was done.none of their prophets (guatama-budhists,Jesus-Christians,Mahaveer-Jains,Guru nanak-sikhs) never engaged in war or ever prescribed any punishment for the nonfollowers.Besides all lived celebate or noble lives.Mohmed on the otherhand was a criminal who engaged in loot and war. He also handed punishment for nonfollowers and coerced them to follow.Even today Pakistan practices falsehood(qasab was admitted to be national after lot of delay and flip-flops).This was the typical behaviour of Mohmed also.
