So now I have a major tomorrow. But I can’t get myself to study because I do not force myself to do things I don’t like. So instead I would like to explain why I hate religion.
Drawback no. 1-
Religion gives a chance to correct yourself. That is you can change yourself anytime. One would think that is not a bad thing to do, like someone can revert back to “good” ways (whatever he thinks these good ways maybe) anytime. Every religion offers you with a lot of ways for redemption like going to Mecca or bathing in Ganges or visiting Akal Takht. A person indulges in “evil” activities (again abstract… I don’t have the critical skills to define abstract things… you may assume them to be anything you like… like robbing someone else in anyway… like government officials), and bathes in Ganges on Kumbh or whatever. What he has now. A feeling that all his sins have been washed away with all the loiter by Ganges and he can peacefully return to his usual selfish ways. I mean who gives these people mental satisfaction of being on the self proclaimed path of nirvana when all they have done in their short and pathetic lives is live foe sake of consumerism. Can holding a religious gathering at your place once in a while and mumbling few lines of Ramayan shift-delete whatever you have done in your past life. These people must be banned from making pilgrimages to Haridwar. Infact religion must be banned from taking a refuge in someone’s heart.
Look, all I am saying is someone who wants to do something good in his life won’t need to donate huge amount of money to some temple. So stop trying to hide yourself behind religion and accept responsibility for whatever you have done. If you are to justify yourself even then or don’t think you have done any wrong, then I got no problem with you. For all of you posing themselves as Hanuman bhakht, stop doing it. Religion is just giving you another way to spend your money for entertaining yourself. So you can just purchase some clothes instead or get a good meal once in a while(that might even be of some use).
I think all of you know what other drawbacks are- religion kills people, does more damage than nuclear weapon, disfigures you mentally instead of physically, makes you irresponsible for your actions like it was all destined to be. But I wanted to discuss just this one, cause it has been bothering me quite some time now.
