I have made my own religion
Everyone has their own philosophy. These
philosophies have come from some theories. Gradually, these philosophies became
their perception. Their perception became facts. And when most people start
following the perception so called facts, we call it religion. If you say
anything against any perception they think that we are against the unknown
facts. Boss I am fed up with the religion and their followers, religion
restrictions and their do and don’ts. Since I have started believing in
religion’s talks I got more orthodox and more superstitious. Now you tell me
who made this religion? If you use your own logic you will come to know the
religion is made by man not by god. Boss it’s us not god.
Who is god? Everybody has a question in their mind
what is, who is and where is god? Who made this word? Let me explain you this hidden
theory of the god. First of all let me clarify you all that I am not a
religious person so following my words will be stupidity. Scientists say that
this universe is made by a particle. I agree on the theory of scientist that
universe is created by a particle but at the same time I wonder that who made
that particle. Now this theory will be hidden forever because you cannot
describe the god. The reason is simple if somebody claims that I have seen the
god or somebody says that I can describe the god that person would be
absolutely wrong. Since, if you have
seen something or if you have touched something it has to be died. I can say
that, every person, everything in this world has to be demolished, has to die
one day. Everything which is born has to die for sure. However, the thing, the
person or whatever you want to say “the god” cannot die because god has never
born. It has never seen, never been
touched, and never been heard by anyone in this world ever. If someone claims
that he or she has seen, touched or heard the god they have seen something
else. Because if they have seen or heard or touched something which they claim
is god, the thing has to be a live and the living thing has to die. However, the god can never die.
Religion is nothing but the requirement of the time.
Some say that smoking is not bad while drinking alcohol is wrong. Some say that
drinking is in our blood but smoking is bad. Some are against killing the
animal while some are in favour of killing the animals and eating it. However,
some people do not mind. Some say that keeping hair is the command of god while
some think it is stupidity. Some say that keeping only beard is the command where
some think that it’s not right. Everybody has their own perception and
according to the situation and time they mould the religion and serve it in the
name of god. In some era smoking was a trend; in some era drinking was a trend.
There was a time keeping hair was a respect. There was a time having wives was a pride.
If you read traditional epics several time people
have mould the religion every time according to their need. The truth and lie
change according to the situation. Everybody has
their own theory. In their theories they think that they are right and other
theories are wrong. I am not telling anyone to believe me but I am just asking
to use your own logic then you will understand what religion is.
Religion is nothing but the
requirement of time.
Some
claim that they are the messenger of the god. Yes, I believe that because god
has created everybody so everybody is the messenger of the god. So whatever you
are doing is the wish of god. Whatever, I am writing is the wish of god. Some people
understood it earlier that they are the messenger of god while some still are
following the message of the messengers. Every word of yours or mine is the
message of the god. God does not do discrimination it’s us. God did not make any
religion it’s us. God is one and nobody can describe it, nobody can explain its
gender, nobody pictures it.
Scientists
are able to do all the magic you have heard of or you have read in the epics
and holy books. Scientists are capable of changing the gender. They can make a
girl virgin again. They can put the animal parts in the man body. So whatever
you have heard or read in the books was true but if you would use your logic
you will understand that the entire thing was science. If Albert Einstein were born in the
era of our god he would have been a god.
If you
believe the things do not believe it blindly. Use your own mind, use your own logic,
analyse the things and make your own judgement. You can decide what is right
and what is wrong. You are capable of making your own religion. If you want to
grab it, take only good things from your and other religions. But who will
decide what right is and what wrong is. It’s you. You will decide what is right
and what is wrong. Some say this book explains
‘this’ while some other say that the same book meaning is ‘that’. Whatever
people understood by their religion they started following it and make others
following it forcefully. The book’s original meaning is lost somewhere. Now the
people know what other people have told them about their religion. Every
country, everyman, every individual have made their own perception about their
religion and they are following it according to their own needs. It’s not only me but everybody has made their
own religion already.
Some think that this number is lucky. Some say that this
day is lucky. Some say that do these things otherwise god will punish you. Some
say that do not do these things or god will punish you. Some say that if you do
not follow this religion you will go to hell. Some say that the only way to
heaven is my religion. Some say that god has said this is compulsory while
other says that other god is wrong but follow our god’s religion. In every book
the god definition is different or could be people describing it wrongly. Everybody
says I am good and others are bad. No doubt who will say that I am bad.
If there is only one creator of whole universe why
would he or she differentiate between their own children? If I have two eyes
why would I love my left eye more? Some say that men have to certain things.
Some say that women have to cover their faces. Some say that men are greater
than women. Some say that women are greater than men. If you are powerful you
can make follow others whatever you want. If somebody would ask if god does not
differentiate why god has made me poor and other rich? God does not
differentiate. It’s us. We have made
black, we have made white, and we have made all the colours. As I never
differentiate between my two hands, in the same way god sees all the colours
same.
Billions of sayings and millions of words to who
should I believe to whom I should say absurd. Some say that there is only way
to god which is ‘this way’. Some say that there are lots of thorns in ‘other
ways’ so, follow ‘this way’. It’s like there is only one river merge into the
ocean and other rivers do not. Some say
that god is in the heart, some say that god is in the faith, some say that god
is up in the sky somewhere and some say that god is within you. Some say that god
is in the idol, some say that god is in the book, some say that god is the
person and all say that we are saying true.
Some say that sins can be washed in a river; some
say that sins can be washed by fasting. One assumes that my whole life sins can
be washed in few days or few minutes. Why would I worry to stop doing sins now?
One question arises in my mind If nobody can listen
to god, if nobody can see the god, if nobody can touch the god who was that ‘angel’
who claimed to be an angel sent by god.
Some say, good deeds lead to heaven and bad deeds
lead to you hell. Nobody has come from death again to tell the truth of heaven
and hell. Those who have come from
death, they said what they have known in real life, what they have seen before
their heartbeat stopped. Sometimes scientist and doctors can be wrong. And we
all know brain works for few hours after death. Nobody actually knows what is out
there because nobody has experienced truly after life.
What is right, what is wrong I do not know? I know, doubt can never make you happy but I
want to know the truth. Everybody has a question in their mind. Logically, the
truth is the god cannot be seen, never be touched, and never be heard. I don’t know
either that you can feel the god or not. But again logically when nobody was
there in world then who was there? That leads me to the unknown truth called God.
When one can point finger on the science, why not
religion then?. If one can ask evidence from every theory and from hypothetical
situations then why not we can ask the same question from the religion.
