Just came back home after watching this new film “My name is Khan”. The Film is about a man, who wants to tell every one, that he is a Muslim and and not a terrorist. It is about how he goes through all the difficulties and finally meets the president of the United States and tells him that he is not a terrorist.

The film makes me ask these questions again :-

1. Is God divided by religion??
2. Does God want us to kill those who do not believe in religion??
3. Did God make religion??

I am sure the people around me, will always give  very vague answers to all these questions. When I ask  myself so as to what is religion and who is God; what is their connection, there is a different answer to each of these three questions.

God is someone I don’t know who,but someone who has created everything and has very specifically designed a system that runs this planet and life on it.

Religion is something made by man which makes him feel closer to God, but the interpretation of which has led to big, big divides between humanity.

I am sure God did not make religion because if He had, then there would have been one religion all across the planet. People kill in the name of religion but if God wants us to kill then he wouldn’t have created us in the first place .
Why would He himself destroy something He himself has made??

There certainly are many questions more which are unanswered but I’m sure they will be soon.

    Hey,
    That is so true that God is not divided by religion neither doe He want us to kill those who do not believe in religion, in fact He does not want us to kill anyone coz if He did then why would He create us in the first place.

    I think God is not selfish or suffering from some attention deficiency and He has made religion a mode for people to praise Him and sacrifice in His name.
    He wants us to love each other and enjoy the beauty of this entire universe.We are too tiny creatures to match His glory and no one can be Him.
    Iam not against religion. Religion teaches us to identify the presence of God and love Him, thank him BUT not a way to be Him.

    God is all in all and religion help us to be devote for some one who we thought or believe is God but when we came to know who God is,religion become second ,third or fourth….. because when we came to know the truth which is God himself there is no need of religion because it does not matter what people call me …………..what matter is my relationship with God.

    A healthy perspective.
    I would suggest that man has made religion, not God. It is man’s attempt to reach God, some more sophisticated than others but surely something that arises from what would be a natural yearning for that which is higher and that which makes sense of the vastness and awesomeness of creation.
    Better than religion would be God’s attempt at reaching us! But having said that I cringe to think that He may already have done that and we have responded by making a religion out of it! And can I use the word “attempt” for surely such a word cannot be used to express any workings of the God of creation??? What He does , He surely does. There can be no room for mere attempt.
