Religion-
A Tool or a Weapon
The word religion means different things to
different people, it has the power to unite when it is in the hands of the
right people, it is lethally divisive when it is in the hands of the wrong
people.
Religion is used as tool in community development by
philanthropist whereas it is used as a weapon by terrorist in destruction of
societies.
When Religion is interpreted by the Matured scholars
it has the power to awaken the spiritual quotient, whereas when it is
interpreted by the people who have either misunderstood the scriptures or has a
vested interest, religion becomes a weapon.
In today's modern world religion has become a
subject for discussion & debate where anybody can blog or record their
views on it, but such views do have a negative impact which turns to be endless
arguments or hate speeches.
We as responsible citizens should use religion for
what it is meant for and not to succumb to the misinterpretation and the pseudo-science
behind it.
Since religion being a personal affair based on
faith, we should neither impose our faith nor prove other's faith wrong.
Instead of handing over a particular religion to the
next generation let us give them the freedom to either choose to be religious or
not.
Today's diverse world requires a unifying force and
not a divisive politics, as a global citizen we should support each other for
our needs and not to keep opposing our faith.
If religion has evolved for human well-being let us
use it for the same, remember when we are in medical emergency, we ask for a
blood and not for a blood from own religious group.
Let
us give our blood to save the life and not to use religion to see the blood
stains
