The better God?
You remember all that we have been learning about in Form Four Sejarah? About Nabi Muhammad and Islam and all?
Nabi Muhammad was a respected man, wasn't he? He made all the right decisions and all.
"Islam was founded by Muhammad, a demon-possessed pedophile who had 12
wives - and his last one was a 9-year-old girl. And I will tell you Allah
is not Jehovah either. Jehovah's not going to turn you into a terrorist
that'll try to bomb people and take the lives of thousands and thousands
of people."
That was quoted from a pastor living in the U.S. It backlashes all that we've been reading about Nabi Muhammad.
Demon possesed pedophile? This guy was engaged in the age old "my God is better than your God" war.
It gets you thinking. Religion is supposed to be good, isn't it? But now people are doing hateful things and having malicious thoughts, all in the name of religion. It seems to me, religion is now the catalyst of the modern day evil we see. And to have a pastor say something spiteful like that... it really does make you think.
I USED to think religion existed merely to give people a sense of security. You know, from believeing that up there, among the stars far far away or something, there exists a divine being capable of listening to the softest of our whispers and answering the most impossible of our prayers.
I'm not sure if I still think that now, but really, I don't know just what to think of religion. Just think, a God that sends everyone else who doesn't believe in him to suffer eternally?
But then again, almost every religion says that. So I guess we would all be eternally damned or something, regardless of which God we believe in. Because we believe only in our God, but doubt all other Gods.
Come to think of it, you know what's the sure fire way of attaining world peace?
Having only ONE religion.
But then it brings up the question of... just WHICH religion?
And then the fighting arise again.
(I'm sorry, I've been thinking too much of late. My MC has loads of questions regarding God, and that got me thinking too!)
