Religious Piety : Utter Confusion



the earth has been around the universe for quite number of years. millions to be exact. for the earth, there are few familiar stuffs that have been existing for ages. DINOSAURS, EARTHQUAKE, GREENERIES, HUMAN, RELIGION, GOD, and et cetera. since man exist, we created tonnes of stuffs that are controversial, ever-provocative and lack of global benefits. for instance, PETROLEUM, NUCLEAR, CURRENCY, PLASTICS, SCIENTIFIC LAWS, ZOO, VEHICLES ………. bla…. bla… bla…… Eye rolling smile you can start naming few and keep on going with the list. not to forgot to mention about religion. since its existence, it has done little goodness to little creatures on earth. notably, ONLY to humans.
let us ponder of what good religion has given to us :

  1. building of ancient religious monuments
  2. colonialism of territories
  3. birth of numerous religious icons
  4. invasion and evolution of human culture
  5. ~cant name more than this. if you have any idea, drop a comment below. LOL Winking smile~
now, let us list down things that have been in wrong order since the existence of religion:
  • solely unitary and individual awareness, not global
  • religious wars that has no ending
  • practice of taboos and rituals that has no good to human
  • born of caste system and “group of untouchables”
  • existence of man made religious laws that suppress own mankind and other creatures
  • clash of thoughts even at fundamentals of religion among its own believers
  • birth of various and different doctrines that barely speaks the same idea even under the same religion – which is confusing and diverts mutual focus
all these negative outcomes suppress the good ones that came from religion which make religion is thrifty to some (ps : to me too Don't tell anyone smile)

to all of our knowledge, religion nowadays is being spread only at tip of the tongue and there is no emphasis in global goodness.does that mean we need to go for single religion? in that case, which is the best? and how sure the best religion will give global goodness? and…, what IS the global goodness?  a lot of questions out of single thought. hahaah! 

religion is teaching. and it is evitable that, teaching in such way only comes with second hand information passing. and to me, religion does not work like that. the moment you receive and practice religion as per being taught to you, the main vision of religion fails. this idea works for all individuals. 

so to cut the story in short, religion makes clear-confusion, contradicting views, controversial thoughts and mind baffling questions.there is no evident religion that can answer mind’s logical questions like, “why god creates hell if he loves us?”, “what is the main reason for god to create animals and humans in the same planet?” and so on… so, the verdict? is still hanging helplessly in our imaginative mind.


Religion is true only to its devotees and God do exist only to believers. Anyone with mind on his own doesn’t necessarily have to be in any of the category.

  1. I would say religion and teaching r 2 different things. I don’t knw hw 2 define religion but teaching is whateva that allows you to think ,reason, discuss,argue n etc, n not end up being killed even if u were wrong. but religion doesn’t allow that.does it?that’s the reason y all these holy wars took place.ppl started 2 think that their religion/holy book is btr than the other..religion has set a boundary 2 ppl’s mind..whateva goes against the holy book is wrong..n those who do that will b cast out like a leper.that’s wat most religious ppl do.then hw can religion n teaching become the same? Buddhism is a teaching n I hv nvr seen/heard/read any real Buddhists going 4 war wit other religion (do correct me if I’m wrong). The same goes to ppl who follow teaching by swami Vivekananda,Sri Ramakrishna or any sage who only preach love n seva,doesn’t matter from whichever religion.

  2. nice argument.

    in my opinion, religion need to be given thought without mere following the holy books.religious icons' preaches. why?
    reasoning and questioning is normal humans' consciousness level. stopping that equalizes us to animals. when u question, u will get a clear picture of the subject. exmpl: muslims need to fast during the ramadhan month. that is the rule. but knowing why it is so gives the whole idea a vivid picture. a.k.a. more understanding

  3. but, things go wrong when people think too much on religion (as i do). it is not out thinking skills that need to be blamed, but the 'loop holes' that in most religion that doesnt answer minds logical statements and seem to be preposterous.

    conclusion? religion creates ideas. ideas creates thoughts. when the thoughts are not being answered, the minds logical acceptance defied. when that happens, religion fails.
    same like good old Inertia Theory. when u cant accept the logical part of it, the theory fails.

    anyway thank you a lot mad indian snake. more arguments creates positive thinking (i bet u r thinking right now)
