Last 5000 years of world history never brought a day without human beings fighting each other. All these years human being had the opportunity of being guided by one God, demigod, or son of God or at least one prophet or other.
Ever wondered why in spite of the presence of such luminaries amongst us, still we couldn’t stop fighting!
Why do human beings fight each other? Are these fights for beliefs, religions, caste, language, status or for geographical hegemony? Were these fights for greed, lust, fear or survival? Were these fights for economic reasons like scarcity of resources or abundance of wealth? If you see there was not a single day in human history which was without war. However the deaths due to undeclared war is also humungous.A cursory look at human history will show how religions which were supposed to domesticate us from our wild ways is one of most prominent reason of human fights.
What is the use of religions when there is no peace in this world?
Here people misconstrue religions as God whereas religions shows the path towards achieving God. The turmoil happens when religions try to become God. The race among religious believers is so fierce that everyone wants to show their religion to be the best.
The real question is if human beings believe religion is the path towards God, then we need to answer are religions creation of God or human beings!
If God has created religions then why they are so different in their approach?Why different religions are always at loggerheads?If the basic purpose of religions are paths to reach God then why the different paths so bloodied? God being so intelligent, will he create a system like this where the very purpose of existence of religion is defeated?
Now the real question is whether God has created religion or vice-versa!!
However one thing is very clear even if God is responsible for human existence he has never told us. Just imagine a world without religion. One of the major cause of human quarrel will no more be there!
Even if religions are there, they should be allowed to be practiced indoors only i.e. either in a place called temple of in peoples home.
However God would have been happy if we lessor mortals have used more of our hearts than temples or homes!
