The most complex, paradoxical, illogical, influencing invention
ever known to existence, by mankind is – religion. Throughout the world, many
people believe in one religion or the other. When asked to bluntly tell the essence
of their religion, they shrug their shoulders and simply tell it’s a way of
life.

Often so, these people masquerade saying that they are
scientifically equipped to disbelieve the whole concept, but in fact, they do
turn to Atheism because some of their inner “appeals” to their respective Gods
have – well let’s just say were not fulfilled. Vexed by the system, they tend
to disbelieve “God” or their version of it.
Recently, many of my friends started “converting” their belief
systems – from being a Theist to an Atheist. I, being my usual curious self,
asked them as to why they made such a decision and found an answer which is
very mundane.

It seemed to me quite imploring, all this. I personally, am an Agnostician – I know not what God is, but I am damn well know religion is
flawed. Unlike my peers, I did not make a rash decision or even follow the hip trend;
more so, I scrutinized my own religion carefully and over a period of time came
to some very surprising conclusions (Please bear with me).
What is more ironical is the conclusive preaching evident in
most religions.
Religion actually convinced man that there is a white
bearded dude, up in the sky, who watches everything. He is so jobless that he tabulates
every organism (he so painstakingly created) and makes a list of all his “good
children” and “bad children”. (Evidently, we are his children and he would make
a very biased parent, who needs to see child services)
