Religion is bullshit? I don't think so..

Religion has no exact definition. You can have your own definition of religion as you like. The way you define it is what makes it beautiful, or bullshit. A few months ago a friend of mine uploaded a stand-up comedy video clip in FB with the title “Religion is Bullshit”. Well, that started off a war and people started throwing bloody long comments on each other. There were two groups, first those who disagrees with that, and secondly those who supports the title.

This is what happens when people refuse to look at religion beyond the boundary set by human beings. Some says God created religion, some says religion leads to God, and some even says religion is bullshit. But I say religion is knowledge that leads to self-realization. When one starts to look at this angle, religion will be defined as a tool that is supposed to lead us towards eternal peace. What happens when one sets a boundary to this knowledge?

Knowledge is something that evolves with time and religion should be evolving too. When a boundary is set, this leaves no room for human to think and reason their actions. What happens next is misinterpretation. That is exactly when people think by shooting innocent people, chopping man’s head off, and doing all other nonsense will lead them straight to heaven. Now what do I mean by setting a boundary? Humans who say “I’m from this religion, and I will only follow my religion, learn values from my religion, and my religion is the best”, sets a boundary to themselves. What happens next is, we think that every religion has its own God. Think about it people, if it is true that every religion has its own God, why are all of us created the same way? We have the same number of eyes, limbs, our digestive systems are the same, we eat the same way (using mouth), we walk the same way and we all breathe the same oxygen. Isn’t that enough to prove that God is one?

If religion is to be described as path to God, then all religion will ultimately lead to one God. Learn to respect each other’s religion because when you insult other’s believe/faith/religion, you’re insulting yourself and your own religion. So let us not place a boundary to religion and treat all humans equally. I do believe that is exactly what God wants.

Love all, Serve all.
