The Dangerous Route Religion Is Taking

When you try to put religion above any other things, including your well-being, sometimes the religious doctrines collide with common sense, the fight with what is right, wrong and religious beliefs, you see how religion inspired terrorism, holding the views in the dogma.

The world is evolving and so many other things which accompanied it, religious clergies are taking it to the extreme when it comes to the view they believe, and enforcing it on congregation making reference from holy book, sometimes it puts up an argument and what truly holy book intents.

You see how it completely destroy human entity, when you’re totally submitted to what clergies are saying, not even holding the contents of what is in the holy book, or the supreme being who inspired it, rather you adore those clergies that go out of context in preaching holy book.

Half of the problem, in the world is the issue of religion, pushing people to take up arms to fight for this course, humanity should come first, the idea of watching over your neighbour despite the diversities, but religion have nurtured rivalries and hatred, the dangerous route religion is taking, will cause the united world.

• Religion on race

Why is it hard to practice your religion without trespassing on one another’s belief? If super beings who inspired religion are very peaceful, the modern clergies are not living to the true meaning of it creeds, so many doctrines contradict with what they preach today and what is the holy book, and the way pioneers of this institution lived during their own time.

The issue of where women stand in the society has caused global debate, can a woman endure and live with her husband despite his shortcomings, human right activists have come very hard on this, that women should have the same say in the family just like men, they have right to whatsoever men are enjoying, but these ideas contradict with religion dogma regarding the stance of women in the society.

The total submissive of women which holy books have advocated, in the family and failed to clearly stipulate the punishment of men when they err, in Africa you see wives still live as a mere house help, living under the shadows of their husbands, suffer home violence and all kinds ill treatment.

How can you claim to fight for god, by passing judgement on his behalf on earth, while he sees and punishes everyone according to the weight of their sins, it is not the same here, humans become beasts to another human beings just because of sake of religion.

Is he a weakling? His battle is his alone, you can’t fight god’s battle only him alone can fight his, because human beings are insufficient to fight his battle, what is the essence of religion if it is not peaceful, if it can’t respect humanity.

The dangerous route religion is taking, will jeopardize any attempt to bring this world together, despite what you believe, religion will play a significant role in bringing the world together, how can this be achievable, if you can’t respect and put humanity first.
