WHICH IS THE BEST RELIGION? I AM HINDU BUT I THOUGHT IT IS SIKHISM? DONT be PARTIAL T
Friends i have visited one day golden temple and i am Hindu,what i see there that a beggar,washer man,person with leprosy,poor,rich,sikhs of high status all are taking lunch together,and i started crying after watching that love and brother hood inside me.
GURUNANAK the FOUNDER OF SIKHISM remove evils of caste system from society and his followers take no difference between rich and poor,high caste and lower caste,I FIND SIKHISM AS ONLY RELIGION WHICH PROMOTE TRUE BROTHER HOOD.
1. Christianity
there is racism between black and whites,Christan missionaries has killed millions of innocent humans in order to convert them into Christianity,black people are exploited by whites and there is racism.
2 ISLAM
in 2003 thousands of black Muslims are murdered by higher caste muslims,in islam there is racisam,saddam husain murdered 4000 kurds tribe people.
I AM NOT AGAINST THESE RELIGIONS,THERE FOUNDERS ARE GREAT BUT FOLLWERS PROVE TO BE STUPID,JESUS,MUHDMMAD ALL ARE GREAT.
3. my religion HINDUISM
in hinduism lower caste are being exploited from ages by brahaman,there is explotation of lower caste and untouchables.there is not brother hood at all.
IT IS SIKHISM WHERE THERE IS NO RACISAM AT ALL,AND FOLLWERS OF SIKHISM FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS OF GURUNANAK.
I THOUGHT SIKHISM IS BEST RELIGION,WHAT YOU THOUGHT dont be partial towards your own religion,i am hindhu and i thought it is sikhism.
Why would you ask which religion is the best and then ask people not to favor theirs?
Why would someone commit to one religion if they didn't think it was the best?
Hitler killed many people...and he was christian. Does it make Christianity bad?
Saddam killed many people.. but its not the fault of Islam.
You should read about all the religions in open mind, i repeat in open mind and then decide for yourself.
I believe religions are man made institutions, therefore flawed from inception. I speak equally of all religions and denominations when I say that. I have found in my personal beliefs that I have at some point in time disagreed with every church I have ever gone to. Fortunately my beliefs in God the Father and his son Jesus Christ are not based in any religion or denomination. I find what I need in the Bible, and I don't need anyone to explain it for me. So I thin I have the best way to believe, I just don't aspire to any religion, in my accomplishment of it.
If what you think is the best for you, then take it. Why do you have to make your decision based on the numbers of choices made before you? After all, you are the only one who can do better things for yourself. Religion must just be your guide to the way of your life's journey. Look at every religion like a road fitted for the person who can do better in his life.
What you are referring to are manifestations of human interpretations of God's will. Around the world, one can see such exploitation and discrimination in religions. That should not be the yard stick for measuring any religion. I believe, the best religion is the one your faith is in. If your religion is based on faith, the chances are you would be a much better person than the people who interpret/ leverage religion for their own ends.
How does one decide upon good or bad, best or worst?
1. It could be, that one lacks something in him/her which is found outside oneself.
2. The ?best? is beneficial to oneself/others irrespective of caste, creed, co lour, culture age & gender .
3. This benefit leads to greater inner satisfaction of oneself/others, & sense of security within/without for oneself/others.
4. This ?best? is always positive in its outcome though the source may not be so. (e.g. One learns many good lessons from negative experiences & matures into a wise person).
Religion (any) has always taught good to all its adherents. But it needs to be reinterpreted according to the changing times/cultures/peoples/situations etc in view of making them more beneficial to its adherent - individual & the community as well as others- non-adherents. This way religion needs to be made meaningful for the present time and people living in the present.
It challenges its followers to live in the present. But the followers carry that religion in the 'Past or Futuristic bags'. That becomes unbearable to everyone including the non-followers.
Caste system in Hinduism (approved by the Scriptures-Religion) might have had social necessity in the Vedic or later periods for smooth functioning (sociologically). But today it is not needed. It excludes other caste groups and isolates its own members. Thus fosters suspicion against the excluded & instills insecurity in both the groups. That is why there is much violence between ?high? & ?low? castes in India.
When a particular thing stops providing security one self, to the people (within/without), to an individual & to the human society at large, and hinders enrichment of human lives irrespective of differences among humans (gender/co lour/racial/cultural etc.), that thing becomes a liability.
It needs to be re valuated ruthlessly.
Has the Caste System become one such element in Hindu Community? Does one feel ashamed of it in the face of violence and suffering it causes? Is one speechless when someone asks shameful questions about Caste System in Hinduism? Does one really want to do something about it?
If yes, then it needs to be abolished. First & foremost by the State.
The State has to fully implement this supported by strong legal hands. Even today one needs to announce ones caste on admission-forms and other formal documents in educational as well as other institutes (that is likely to officially perpetuate the Caste System from generation to generation).
The individuals & groups who have practiced such system in their personal lives so far also need to consciously and persistently break away from it. irrespective of the benefits they may have received in the past.
The Scriptures need to be read anew and re-interpreted in the context of the present milieu. The religions, this way, becomes evergreen and lofty.
That means it depends on us to make any religion best or worst.
If a Hindu dislikes his own religion due to its Caste System and other practices then he/she should stop practicing those things in his/her own life. Start developing true respect for all humans including the so called low caste This way one will not feel bad (guilty) about oneself or ones own religion.
Of course, beneficiaries of Caste System will disagree with all the above.
Christian religion affirms God as the Father (Creator) of the Universe. God created Adam & Eve in His own likeness and image. From these first parents, proceeded forth all the humanity. That resulted in the universal brother-sisterhood of all the human beings.
Islam too preaches brotherhood though with a difference. (http://www.famsy.com/salam/Brotherhood0404.htm )
(http://www.themodernreligion.com/basic/charac/essay_brotherhood.htm)
Practicing along these lines will surely enrich all religions. All of them will become the best.
