OBSCURANTIST INTOLERANT PAROCHIAL!
History and today's day to day experience has established that religion is ineffective and weak in spreading the message of peace and love.As a matter of fact religion has caused more misery to all of mankind in every stage of human history than any other single idea.Whether it is Christianity or Islam or Hinduism,every religion has inculcated an intolerant spirit among its followers which has resulted in bloody clashes,murder and torture of all those who do not submit to that particular faith.Theism teaches man to love "god" so much so that they begin to hate,abhor, and outlaw those,who honestly and sincerely cannot accept the 'incredible' doctrine.It is all due to the fact that all religions are wedded to fanatical intolerance.Today all religions are classical example of sectarian trends and loyalties.It is not one or two instances in the history of religion that 'prove'this or that religion is not secular.The history of every religion is the history of intolerance.So called 'modern and progressive'religious scholars may quote verses here and there from their respective 'holy' scriptures in order to prove 'secular spirit'of their religion. Such passages are very rare and out of context as for as today's subjective and objective conditions are concerned.On the contrary the known verses and the action of the followers,in accordance to the basic spirit of those verses, are the only 'inspiration' for credulous and gullible followers.All religions are same:the Muslims fight with the cry Allah ho Akbar,the Christians in the name of Christ and Hindus with the slogan,Har Har Mahadev.In this context it is interesting to note that when rationalistic doctrines,backed by scientific truth and supremacy of reason and logic,criticize the theism[religions] for their intolerance,irrationality,adamant and uncompromising attitude,religious protectors raise their heads with their 'new' findings and interpretations in order to reestablish so called tolerant and secular spirit of their respective religious dogma.
Illa Wheeler Wilcox,has put the same thought in plainer words:
"so many gods,so many creeds,so many paths that wind and wind;
when just the art of being kind is all that the sad world needs."
