What has religion given ?
by eclipse on Apr 25, 2007 11:45 AM

Although it holds no relevance to the topic under discussion I have always observed many people abuse each others religion. Islam seems to be the favorite now a days but I do not understand what has religion given all of us? Like someone pasted numerous lines from the quran that involved violence. Is it not the fact that Bhagvat Gita is a book based on two great wars that killed millions ? Is it not a fact that Bible(old testament and the new) contains multiple instances of violence? It is upto the sane mind to chose love or violence.
Even in India the knowledge about religions is so poor. I have seen the movie "The ten commandments" on HBO. It has been shown over and over again in India. The climax of the movie is that when Moses comes back from the hills he sees some of his people worshipping idol of a cow. He destroyes the idol in rage and orders that all the people who commited idol worship be killed. Islam came 3000 years after that.
