Humanity and religions. Humanity of atheists.
■ I was travelling by Frankfurt-Chicago flight recently. I met a Polish person on my next seat. When I talked to him, he said, ‘I’m atheist. Seeing the kind of immorality in Christianity I took myself out. “
●Then we were talking about humanity. He uttered a great statement at the time that; “If you want to be a good person, you don’t need religion or God. "
How great is this sentence!
I’ve said this before. But since I’m a religious person, this statement of that atheist Polish person is more important than I said. So I’ve quoted it here.
■ Then the question arises – why here the religions are often mentioned when writing about humanity? If humanity can grow without religion what is the need to mention religion so often?
□ There are two reasons behind it, one good and one bad.
☆ 1 good reason is that basically as we wrote before; religions were created so that humanity could develop. Then these religions taught humans humanity. Today a large class of humans believe religions. If good/right education of religions is followed by humans of all these religions, humanity will get a huge support. [ Humanity is for a purpose so that the whole world can be happy, satisfied and rich. ] – For this good reason we mention religions. It is possible that humanity flourishes by becoming righteously religious.
☆ 2 Religion also has to be mentioned for a negative reason – Religions that were created for humanity; they have had fierce fights and gross bloodshed due to the struggle that has taken place for centuries. Millions of people died. It's happening in present era also. If you’ll study your religion well and remove negative parts, that religion will be useful to the world. If you also improve your religion and follow it correctly; it will be useful for world peace. Wrong concepts like Hate other religions and a wrong desire that the whole world following your religion and your religion can rule the world – it has created so much religious struggle…We have to move forward by avoiding all these things.
■■ For these two reasons religion discussion comes in our humanity talk.
● It is definitely possible for the remaining large numbers that do not have faith in any religion; can also make themselves a better human being.
☆ The group level movements need to stop are - the desire to use power over others with immoral capturs, use and exploit others with power, invasion to win the world, invasion to win another country.
☆ At the personal level end to your excessive selfishness and desires. Stop corruption...etc.
Do this – honest working, be generous, live a good life by thinking about others – you can become yourself a better human being through different exercises, whether you’re religious or not. …
here’s the limit of writing today.
