No religion or its place of worship
has ever improved general well being of a nation, society or an individual,
either in the promotion of moral values or in being civil! Let this topic be
left for the readers to decide.
Then should it be assumed, the efforts by the divine men since centuries, have been a waste, as the mammoth structures they raised in the process, have become adjunct! On the other hand, these personae claim, had it not been for them, humanity would have been an uncivilized race. History speaks otherwise. There have been more than 5500 major wars in the recorded history, because of these ‘beings’ or their ‘philosophies’. They live in fool’s paradise if they believe, but for them, there would have been no human race!
They had been the perpetrators of fission instead of fusion in the society. History again refutes their version and presents compelling evidence, that these ‘religious’ crusaders instigated these fissions in society. It is useless to waste time on their adjunct theories as these are like the ruins of ancient monuments, which are to be eulogized for the dead past, whose only pride is these ruins!
Conditions are not as alarming as the angels of death have made them out to be. The science fraternity too aligns with them, because they are mere tools in the hands (read employment) of few rich industrialists. Poor nations have no industrial base worth the name, as such all war machines are manufactured by the developed (read rich) countries. It is these countries who are instigating the fission in these wretched nations, who have, only recently, been freed from the yokes of slavery by these very countries after centuries of subjugation, and now are arming them with these war machines at exorbitant prices, instead of food, to fight among themselves. And these fools are fighting and killing each other, instead of using that money to provide basic necessities, to their poor citizenry. The funny thing is that this poor gentry of these nations is firm believer in God, whereas the wealthy nations have put on hold their morals, decency, civility---what to talk of divinity or spirituality. The religious lobby does more damage by feeding illogical and irrelevant doctrines to these poor people. What good these mere doctrines, philosophies, or ‘thoughts’ can do in the present times, whose relevance was more conducive in ancient time, when moral values were the ‘official currency’! Some divine ‘revelations’ were experienced, centuries ago, by some divine men, during trances of meditation. These ‘revelations’ became fundamental principles of those religions, which were formed by their ‘revealers’. Thus in each age, new systems of ethics, morality and spirituality were established, which were, purely based on the ‘revelations’, which in each case took the form of religions. The contents of all the revelations were almost the same and their main thrust was in the transformation of the social orders of the times. How those ‘revelations’ are supposed to hold water in present age, is beyond conception!
In our age, with the advancement of science in almost all spheres of our life, old structures of religions built on flimsy pillars of untried doctrines, are being systematically demolished. With the mapping of all the forty six chromosomes, it would be finally established; that conscious is nothing but the shield of electro-magnetic field of activated memory cells. Genetic code would dispel the scope of “free will”. Thoughts, intentions, emotions and other mental ‘aspects’ would prove to be nothing but artifacts of brain’s functioning. We are merely biological machines, whose behavior can be predicted. We do not act intentionally on our own volition, but only react to various kinds of stimuli. That all forms of art, science or thought processes are not due to some instinctive or divine intervention but the ‘by-product’ of the semi-liquid grey matter housed inside the cranial cavity, which was programmed to react blindly to emotional triggers impinging upon its sensory apparatus. This is the future scenario, which the religionists are going to confront, if not immediately but certainly in a hundred years from now or even earlier!

For the spiritualist, it would
further uplift their already sagging morale, because the above scenario would
only vindicate their ‘doctrine’ of pre-determination; that everything is
pre-ordained! Whether it is on account of biological reasons or ‘Karmic’ cycle,
it is all the same for them!(tbc)
