The Impact of Sound Religion
April 4, 2007 - 06:46 AM

As we all know, the impact of religion on the life of human society is evident. And the complications we had been thru due to different religions are also there. While such theatrical events are going hand in hand, our nature as human being, which is inherently spiritual, needs a sound religion which integrates our physical, intellectual and spiritual needs. I believe that the fundamental aspects of major religions of the world are one, but their difference lies on the social aspect of them. Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jew, and others are few of the many religions that contribute for the continuing and ever advancing civilization. While such harmony between religions and their founders and respective adherents is there, why do the adherents create such gap between themselves. We do not need other power or energy to create bond between a given domain, as a matter of character of this universe, it is simple to create that bond; for this cosmos is like a magnetic field in which those who have similar and related belief system or though integrate within themselves. However we seek other kind of assistance to create absolute love and unity to those who donot belong to a given domain.
May i hear your comments on this aspect.

A deeper glance in our lives today reveals that there is a critical problem facing by human beings. Our increasingly knowledge of" material " have put aside the quest of heavenly qualities that I call " virtues". Religion essentially deals with satisfaction of the soul in an intimacy or in an inherent relationship with GOD. The greater majority of leaders who rule the world have ideas on spiritual issues and theories for a better governance. But the Light that always remain us of our spiritual not earthly essence, is always overshadowed by fleetings concerns. The result is what we witness worldwide. Real spititual Leaders of Religions will never fight each other , for the oneness light that glitter in their hearts. There is not confusion in spiritual matters while it will dwell for those stick on earthly matters. The need for a sound Religion is indispensable for the growth of the mankind towards his origin. Our scientific and technological knowledge is permanently increasing in some aspects where the conscience ( the faculty given to human to judge the evil and the Good) is totally overshadowed by the power of the pride.
There is one Religion and thousands of religions. The former is the intrinsically Light that make us intuively think of GOD.It has nothing to do with space or time . It shines in everyone of us .It doesn't need the help of a priest , an iman , a lama or whatever .All of us have It and we should put It on to be with of God. The latter on contrary , is the blundered fight organise by those
of us who think that they are more enlightened than others. The worst evil of our time is our belief that Religion and Science are contradictory powers. While fundamentally they are not.Only time will help to clarify it.

Following the thought of ether3, i would think it honorable to make distinctions here. Religion and religions. Every human being is religious in that there is deeply an inherent desire to search for great values in themselves which are what out creator, whatever we may deem it to be, has enshrined in us. This values dont need to be taught in a structured institution. By the very fact of being human, we find ourselves moved to this being. Only divisions and fights come when we start to advertise our religion as what is true and the best. The founders of all the world religions understood this and when we look at what they proposed to their disciples goes beyong religious affiliation as to great values that help one to be WHOLE.
If we follow, their spirit and shed off their rule then can we get into sound religion.

Sound religion talks about nothing but "LOVE" which will bring ever awaiting peace to this world, sometimes people keep doubting how possible peace will be on earth, but don't doubt me it is by loving everything God has created heartedly will bring that light of love to shine on us.
I think all religion preached all about Love in different understanding/idology which has costed many not to get the real gospel required of us by God which is absolutely loving one another  the sound religion I know!

religion if taking in its real sense, is the revelation of god for his creatures. so no question arises of sound or unsound religions, creator knows the best for his creation, like a mechanic knows how to maintain his car! so we have to adjust within a religion by accepting the values and principles of the religion. when god is one, no quesiton arises, that he will call his creature to kill his fellow human being, but in certain cases when the later croses his limits and becomes an aggressor!
all the religions teach peace and harmoney, the last of them being islam, prophet mohammad, never agresively killed anybody, he made peace treaties with jews even, with christians on the other side. they lived in peac and brotherhood, because allah says in quran, no compulsion in entering islam, so any body on his will can enter islam, and prophet was told that: u do your job of preaching, whether one becomes muslim or not is allah's will.
therefore, all revealed religions are sound for human beings, if we observe them in true spirit.
