This is really a serious matter to discuss. It really arouse concerns in me, about people becoming more and more religious and they are completely oblivious about what it comprehends or it should reflect. I would not say the impact is bad, but I would not say it is doing good either.
Let’s take the current society and people living in it. Everything that we use in a daily basis, starting from our toothpaste to super computers, is going through updations and newer versions. Your iphone will remind you ten times regarding it’s software update. All for what? For the betterment of humans and their living standards. If there is something which hasn’t changed or updated with time, it is religion. 100 thousand years ago, this happened. 200 thousand years ago they did this, did that. Well, I don’t know the religion of my Dad’s Dad’s Dad’s Dad’s Dad’s Dad’s Dad’s Dad. But I know for a reason that he existed. So, I would rather go with humanity than religion.
Once I was dining with a friend in a restaurant. That was actually my 3rd date with her. So I knew very breifly about her that she is very religious and really in to it. She had my utmost respect for that. Most of the days after her working hours, she visits an orphanage which is connected with the church and spends time with children.
Out of curiosity, I asked her a question.
“So, what’s your priority level? God first or Humanity first?” Honestly I was expecting something like “Don’t you think both are same?”. But she had a confused look on her face. She thought I’m putting her in to a real test. After giving it a deep thought she said “of course, my god. What about you?” I said “of course, humanity. Cuz there is no point in yelling out that I believe in my god and smacking your head with this plate for no reason or any reason for that matter” Her confused look sustained. She said “Whatever, for me it’s my god and don’t you dare speak against my god ever.” The voice went out of control that other tables were forced to put their attention towards us.
Hehe. Actually I did not speak anything against anyone. And apparently she was involved with more humanitarian and charity works than me. But, did she miss something? Did she miss the whole point? There lies the issue. It made people blind enough that what they are doing carries less importance and for whom they are doing is weighed more.
Hope it helps u....... And plz mark it as brain list
