Whether it is Ram or Prophet Mohammed or Jesus Christ,they never asked their followers to worship them rather than following the path of life and love one another.Moreover any of the religious books do not advise to go and fight with the other religion. I believe all these indicate the socio cultural situation prevalent at that time and tried to purify the human hearts from the forces of wrongdoing.Politicians like Karuna survives on anti Ram theory when others bang on religious vote banks of Hindu and Christian and Muslim. It is the same divide and rule started by British applies now also by our political Gods. We have millions reeling under poverty,will these things fill their stomach?Do we have the time to address their issue?Whether it is Left or Right opportunism and hunger for power prevails. We the common people should approach these issues with an open heart and keep the politician at bay,at least we should try.

Jesus did ask his followers to worhip him and he did claim that he was God. John 3:16 says, " For God so loved the world that He gave his only son and whosoever believes IN him has eternal life." Secondly Jesus also said that He and the Father are ONE. Thirdly he also said that those who worship the father must worship him in spirit and in truth. Essentially indicating the the follower/disciple must worship him in spriit and in truth since he and the father are one and the same.
