There are many countries on planet earth, each with different rulers and different sets of rules and regulations. Similarly there could be many parts to heaven and hell. The Gods or their accredited agents many be waiting at the gate of heaven/hell (some sort of no-man's land) to catch hold of the "souls" and push them into the heaven or hell. There are more than 2000 religions the world over. Then why one should believe that there is only one God or Supreme Creator???????????

India Today , friends today India is confuse country because of the word " SECULARISM" example is : there were three friends, Hindu, Christian & Muslim. They bought new Bike in contribution all of three were very Happy. Firstly Hindu said he want to perform a Puja ohter two friends said ok they will also perform a prayer & Namanj everybody agreed because they use to honour each others religion, Hindu person took a coconut & hit it on head light & he brok head light, Christ friend took candles & light it on seat so that seat totaly burnt, then Muslim took out speedo meter & he put a taperecorder over there & loud speaker in the place of Silencer. In resut that bike was not useful completely & friends started blaming each other that because of you this happened. India is in same state nobody want to understand nobody but at the same time they want their every right & because of this India become a useless bike.

This is a message by someone else on another discussion board:
is there a seperate muslim /christian/ hindu / buddhist air, water...? when we all breath the same air, drink same water...how can god can be different...? the problem every religion thinks that god stands and watches them from space...they also think that their religion's god is different from others... what a joke...!!?? the problem arises when we think that god is a male / female. its energy...it does not require any name...simple example when a mulim mosque in iraq is bombed or a hindu temple in kashmir is demolished or a buddhist vihar is ransacked...why no god stops it...? first of all if at all god exists...he does not require all these...we humans requires...he/she does not lose anything...even if each religions' gods are different, they dont seem to fight among themselves...it is we fools who fight...either in street or in net...!!! if god is an intelligent person, he would have stoped this in the beginning itself...since he/she does not have the wherewithal to stop this... why worship him...?
Can't you agree with this also?? Why we should fight in the name of religions and god/gods??

Well said, Amrit Patil, but who will make the religious fanatic understand this? Some people still want to live in 7th century while some others want to live in 19th century!!!!!!!!!

Dear Abdulla, the mankind might have made much more progreses if there was no religion. Nearly two-thirds of all wars were fought in the name of religions and non-existent gods.
Pl download and read "The Necessity of Atheism" by Dr. D.M. Brooks freely available at Project Gutenberg to know the real truth about religions and gods and how the Roman Catholic churches and other religious institutions scuttled scientific enquiry!!!!!!
Also serch for "War Crime Tribunal" to understand the atrocities committed by the participants in WW-II, especially Japan, a country predominently believing in Buddhist non-violence!

>>>>>>>>>>>>we human being make excuse for fight in name of god, allah, bhagvan because we want wealth, dominance and lot many things..........that has to be stopped. Only the faith in basic goodness of all human-beings can lead to that and not the outdated religious dogmas!!!!!!!!! It is easy to instigate people in the name of religion than anything else! Make no mistake about this.

Dear Abdulla, why you want fool yourself and others? Have you watched Jurasic Park or Star Wars? What is not possible in a movie with special effects????
Why even educated persons like you cannot think rationally? Pl visit the web of "Actual Freedom - the third alternative" This is an alternative to organized religions. It will atleast give you some insight into human behaviour and it cause (Its not a religious or atheist site).

Ha ha... Movies are not always special effects. they gives us learning as well.
my family consist of more than 50% doctors. Nobody is talking about religion here. We should speak or raise question when we know complete truth about it.
why run behind 3rd alternative, as each religious book had mentioned about human behaviour... har manush me bhagvan basate hai... danav bhi wahi paida hote hai... wahi prani ki kruth bhi karvata hai... lekin hame kya banana hai ye hume chochna hai..
