I wish to be reborn in a world where there is no God. I am tired of explaining to Christians that Jesus would never have said, "Do not worship anyone other than me." I am amused when I see Jesus, the epitome of simplicity, made to live in multi-million-dollar churches, each trying to outdo its neighbour. Do you think Jesus lives there? If He lives anywhere, it would be in the poorest of slums, among the poorest of the poor. People remember everything other than the three most important words in the Bible -- God is love. I am tired of explaining to Muslims that Allah would never have advocated jihad. It is sad to see Muslims trying to find the formless Allah within the confines of a mosque. His very form -- or lack of it -- suggests He is to be found everywhere, not just in the confines of a Babri Masjid. Who is to understand or listen? And finally, I am tired of explaining to Hindus that the Upanishads say Aham brahmasmi and Tatvam asi. Roughly translated, it means God lies within you: You are God. Idol worship was introduced in the Vedic age to make it easier for the common man to grasp the concept of God. Lord Ram's life shows how an ideal man -- maryada purushottam -- should live. Rather than following the ideals expressed, people seem to think that building temples to Him is the best thing to do. When will they ever learn? Man always wants better things for himself. And he thinks that by worshipping -- or, should I say, bribing? - God, he can achieve what he wants. Pathetic! Man only understands the principle of give and take. In his weak-minded interpretation of God, he reduces God to his level. All that God wants you to do is live a good life. Instead of doing that, people sing hymns and bhajans at the top of their voices... They think God will hear them, and reciprocate their efforts with what they want in life. Pitiable! I want to live in a world where there is no God. Let there be no worship or places of worship. Indeed, let there be no religion. Let there be no believers. For, every believer can turn into a fanatic with the right amount of provocation. Until man has the sense to understand God, let there be no God. Indeed, a Krishna, Jesus or Allah would be willing to die a thousand deaths if that would bring peace to this world. Let us kill religion so that humans can live. Yes, I want to live in a world where there is no God. In peace. Tell us what you think of this diary Be part of an exciting venture!   Write a Diary!
