First of all, I am not trying to say that my perception of why there is so much conflict in the world today is right.It's just that to my eyes, today it all boils down to religion/faith today. Let's not talk about WWII or the holocaust or anything like that, 'coz we've been reading like hell about why these things happened why they were necessary/unncessary, they've been anylyzed over and over again and i think we can pretty much make sense of those things. The issue was mainly does your faith/religion have anything to do with what's going on? When Jihad was declared, was the religious motive necessary?? and is that enough? Are the Mulsims fighting Hindus in everyday life as we can see ourselves just becaue they belive in different GODS? If so wudn't it be better if there was only one religion? Sunnis and Shiite what's up with them? it all seems crazy n' the solution cud be one religion but it's not.. So what is it that keeps us tied to our faith sometime beyond rationality.. not that GOD/spirituality belong to the rational world .... why do i think that depite all the superstitions we are born into, I still respect and love my religion?? Even though our religion obviously disparages women in a million way, I still like to belive that it's chaging and it's good for me??? is it arrogance or do I have a blind, blind faith?? (I am not trying to use religion and faith synonymously, they are different; faith is what every religion is based on, it's sth u can have without having to acknowledge "GOD" and all of us might have our own little definitions it doesn't matter--- we understand what I mean) I don't know.. i am just taking out what on my mind n' heart and trying to understand 'coz in a way it's very important to me, i dont' wanna die without knowing anything... Also, if god and religion are so unreal and made up just for our own purposes why is it still there? why still so strong? Why didn't it fade out as so many other things during our civilization? JUst a thought.
