Religions Greatness and Sins... Family:
Religion is a unique force in society. It motivates individuals to do both good
and evil. Historically, it has promoted an end to slavery, racial integration,
equal rights for men and women. It has motivated individuals to create massive
support services for the poor, the sick, the hurting, and the broken. Conversely,
it has been used to justify slavery, racial segregation, oppression of women,
discrimination, genocide...
Religion has the capability to generate unselfish love in some people, and vicious
hatred in others.
Religion is the deepest force of humanity, it is love, love to God and to his
creatures, most specially love to our brother neighbors created all of them
by the same God
it has been the greatest asset of humankind since the
beginning, it is now still the greatest source of individual joy and of social
justice and advancement
but often religion has misguided humanity, teaching
humankind to be irreligious in the name of religion
and it's got to change!
Religions have committed the greatest sins in the name of religion, in the name
of God
most religions!
including mass murders of innocent children,
men and woman
and this is got to stop!
Look even today at the many civil disturbances and wars around the world which
are at least partly caused by religious intolerance: Middle East, Israel, Palestine,
Northern Ireland, Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Kosovo, East Timor, India, Pakistan, Sri
Lanka, Sudan, Tibet, Philippines, African Tribes, China religious intolerance,
American prejudices
And it is not only Religion against Religion, but also it is the reason
or excuse for hate and oppression and even murder between the members of the
same Religion: Christians against Christians, Jews against Jews, Muslims against
Muslims, Hindus against Hindus, Buddhist against Buddhists
This problem is not limited to Religions, but it is also a problem in the family,
at home!: The family is a great institution, but there are often catastrophic
problems between the husband, wife, and children, that lead to separations,
divorce, run-away children...
So, the solution we propose, tolerance, love, applies also to the heart of the
family, and it must start with the peace of mind and heart of each one... it
is an individual solution... you... I...
