RE:The problem with VM
by Joseph Maprayil on Aug 29, 2006 02:49 PM

Dear Shankar/Indian,

Your outbursts against Sameer's posting are mean and ridiculous. All religions have theirown short comings and drawbacks. Since religion is man made, same is the case with Gods too!

Being educated people, do any one of you (incl Sameer) think that there can be many gods (or any god?). Now consider that there is a god. Can different people can reasonably have different gods? If it is so, there are big fights going on in heavens (or in hell, as some gods must be there by now). There is then no harm their followers fighting and killing each other.

Accept that god exists. It is only natural that people of different culture, language & demographic background have different images of the god (Now this image is not a physical one, Sameer!). West Asian Gods cannot be like Indian Gods just because of the fact that the people are different. So a better way would be to see your own god through the native gods. Like chanting Hare Krishna Hare Rama Rama, I can offer obescience to Jesus or Jehova or Allah.

Best thing is just do not have any gods. If you have one, do not fight and finish each other. Once humanity is gone, so would be gods.
