God Only Knows !!!

Consider a time long long ago. Ur in a place where ppl grew happily around u, got educated, earned their livelihood. U notice that to get companionship or say to befriend a person around you, you need to have some qualities, you should preferably have something in common to be represented as one’s friend, u need to be , if not anything, of a certain class. And let’s say if things are going south or you have some scores to settle or some help to seek you’d always wanna rely on these so said set of ppl u call friends.

Now consider u fall in none of the category above sayin,
-U suck on ur social life front,
-U don’t have a good image with which people’d wanna recognize u as their friend,
-More importantly u don know how to speak or to say present ur self, or say ppl don value ur words for reasons best known to you.

In such a desperate scenario what wud one do to seek companionship or say draw ppl close to oneself??????
ANYTHING!!!
Right?

Now thinking of it I’ve got my own reasons to believe that, there was indeed such a time long long ago, there were such men and there must have been such a desperate situations that must have bought them to come up with one of the most Ridiculous and to some extent most destructive idea ever thought of… The concept of RELIGION.

I have nothing against religion as such, but what really bugs me is ppl blindly following what they listen and see in the name of religion. I wonder how ur so said "evolved brain" doesn’t stand in way or question wen one says- it’s right to immolate a widow on her husband’s pyre, to kill others in name of holy war, justify polygamy in favor of men but forbid the other way round, why women are loaded wearing all possible things which yell loud and clear saying “I AM MARRIED” and men get to go off the hook. Who gave away the rights to some individual to decide what’s immoral and what’s not- what wud please ones god and what wud bring his wrath?, on what basis is one belief termed holy and other satanic?. The way I see it, these mere individuals are imposing their stupid point of views in name of religion for the equally stupid masses to follow. They are very aware that their words/ opinions/ point of view is not worth a dime without the façade of religion they cover it with. The whole idea here is to sell you an idea of god which scares u to the extent that u’d need to pray to 3,000,0000000 gods to stay safe from the equally diverse no. of problems u cud possibly face if u choose to go otherwise, there’s a day allocated to each god on which ur supposed to please him, ur required to pray a specified no. of times in a day etc., etc., just for him to love you back. If you wish to extend ur services by becoming his special SON den go do all the mindless things they say is written in ur GOD’s holy book.

If reading all this has made you to write me off as an atheist, then ur wrong. As I mentioned earlier I don have a problem with religion or believing in GOD, my problem is with ppl who use religion as a tool to turn men against each other and more importantly the ease with which ppl are- uh… wha’s the term- “BRAINWASHED” which I doubt them having any in the first place. Each individual may have a different concept of god which he’d like to follow, which if intended can give birth to a religion by itself. The idea here is to think for yourself if, what ur told abt god makes sense to you, the idea which makes u so scared of him that u actually need to be reminded by the same ppl that “HE LOVES YOU”!!. All I’m saying is continue following whichever religion/ belief / concept of god you find apt or connect with, but don let it to override ur sensibilities.
