Okay a confession here ..

Like I said I am deeply inclined towards Buddhism although I am a hindu by birth .but as I skim through these religious scriptures of all faith ,I just think that though I may not support all views of say one religion ,but in every religion there is deep instructions on human values such as generosity ,mercy ,humanity ,love ,forgivenes self sacrifice ,controlling one 's temper ,etc.
While reading these I just think the world knows nothing about religions ,they dont even follow a percent of their religious teaching .
Because if you say you are christian by belief ,you wouldnt be hurling abuses on others ,
If you are a muslim by belief ,you wouldnt be hurting others
If you are a hindu by belief ,you wouldnt be hating others .
If you do sin, haraam ,or Paap you should call yourself a non believer .because atleast in that case your acts woulnt malign the religions .
Karl marx said once -
Religion has become the soul of soulless conditions,heart of the heartless world .the opium of the world .

Religion tends to lead to self righteous hypocrisy because we cannot keep to the laws that religions set for us, - we all lie, steal, hate on people, etc. We are all sinners. Thats' why you see people of any religion or none hurl abuse, hurt each other etc. It does show that a person cannot be made right or be righteous by following a religious law. In Christianity it is God who makes people righteous through the sacrifice of His Son - this grace from God has no need of religious adherence and rule keeping - man has but to trust God rather than trust his ability to keep religious rules. Religions are heavy yokes with many rules to follow but Jesus says "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
