LET'S pRAY

There is a worrying trend of converts being more fanatical than others. I just do not understand this whole issue. The most irritating thing is when people who convert, start condemning their renounced religion and start criticising family practices etc.

No one knows or has ever seen God. All the religions that we have today ultimately point to a single higher power who dictates our lives.It is just that the paths we choose to reach that higher power are different.

God and religion is necessary to enrich a person's live. But when your whole live is just revolving around your religion, so much so that you hurt others with your words and actions, then you are not fit to call yourself a devotee. If you sit and spend your day criticising other religions, then you are not spending that time in learning what your chosen religion has to offer.

At uncertain times like now with all the terrorism, the most important thing is unity among everyone. When religion comes in to divide people, that is when we start falling and failing.
Let's pray.

actually.. religion has now become the opposite of what its supposed to be. instead of bonding, it divides.
