Religion

The world seems to be in a turmoil. people are fighting in many countries, and it seems to be religion that is the root cause of all these turmoils and tribulations which are causing so much of unhappiness and distress.
But Religion, you can not ban it. You can not live away from it.
So, This is high time, we try to understand what is religion.
Religion is only a way of life.Religion is an attempt to try to understand and interpret the great phenomenon that is known as God, the creator. Each religion has its own interpretation about God. And praying God for anything and everything gives a kind of solace to the people.
In attempting to find comfort, the groups of people living in different parts of this earth, formed their own ways of life.
But, when the people were not satisfied with what they had, they began to wander capturing the weaker people, and then all these turmoils began. They taught their way of life, calling it as religion, to the people they won over with brute force.
It is high time people realize that living in harmony with all the sects, whatever their religion be, is the real religion, a true Dharma. For being born on this Earth, let us protect this earth for future generations to come.

There is no stupidity than thinking any religion as superior to others. And surely it is a crime to force one's religion on others.
But, as the Earth is divided into several countries, it is better to adapt a uniform code of law , for each country, which should be followed by the countrymen.The law should not be based on any religion. Religion is an individual choice, and should not come in the way of administration of a country. The administrator should be impartial and should work in the interest of all people.
