Check out this video..it’s about religions…..

recent comments on all religions

Habib:  More often than not,  attacks like those mentioned in the article take place in regions where there is no or very little western presence. The attacks are against those who don’t accept a particular insular interpretation of the Quran.  The attacks are designed to frighten Iraqis into accepting such godlessness as being right and justified.

Habib: Tell me why there is such animosity toward a fellow human being – either one who reads the Quran differently, or others of differing faith.  What is the problem?

It is sad that people loose their lives over myth.  We know better than that.  They know better than that. No god deserves our attention who does not value mankind.  Such things are the very proof that all gods are the product of the human imagination.

No one serious believes that god or allah can be called upon to justify killing people. No god or allah deserves our respect or worship who has no respect for human life.   Such actions disprove all the gods.

It is not right or moral or godly to call upon a god to justify murdering fellowing human beings.  It is wrong. Period. Is this logic wrong in any way?  If my reasoning is wrong, show how it is wrong, and don’t quote to me from the Quran or the Bible or the Torah or even the Vedic literature (I’ve read them)- all were made by the creative ability of the human mind.  None has supremacy over the other. Each has some good points, but must be evaluated by one simple criteria – as a result of that faith, is there peace on earth and good will toward all.  Honestly! If not, then change it to make it better.

Some like to say that their faith is the last one ‘revealed’ to man, but then this too is not right.  Joseph Smith believed his ‘revelation’ was the last.  David Koresh believed his was the last, or most recent.  Jim Jones believed he was the only one to whom god spoke.  No! All of it is non-sense.  You know it as well, it is not rational, but most can’t see a way to get around all the tradition of family and culture that brought them to this point.  Fear is the biggest tool used by all religions to keep its followers in line.  Fear that to acknowledge the errors of ones faith in which one was raised you would be ostracized by your community.

More religious stupidity…….in the name of god (or allah).. why is it so hard for many  to see just how insane all this really is? This doesn’t prove your god. It only shows your ignorance and lack of respect for humanity and life.  If mankind and life are not valued either today or in history in your beliefs, then it is wrong.  Period.  Change it.

globalization….growing our local economies

So your argument is that if we are serious about expanding trade and growing economically,not only as individual nation-states but globally, then we must focus our energy effort and resources toward those international agencies and initiatives that seek to strengthen trade, communication, education and personal contact on a global scale thus reducing the likelihood of nationalistic militarism. In other words, we should be working together to strengthen our common cultural connections through concerted global efforts by every means at our disposal to encourage broader more open trade, thus controlling the cyclic nature of isolationism/ nationalism.  If we want longterm economic growth and global and national financial stability, then encouraging the reduction of trends to increased militarization is most likely the best way to accomplish that objective.

Why do otherwise rational people seek the supernatural?

Honestly!  I don’t have an answer for that question.  It makes no sense that otherwise rational people would accept something as being fact when every element of those myths and religions comes from the minds of men.
