    "Purpose of religion :to control or to criticize"

    in Interfaith

    Dalai Lama once said, "The purpose of religion is to control yourself, and not to criticize others"

    I don't support atheism and its a fact that in the vastness of this limitless world religion provide us with well-specified boundaries and a decent life style to survive well but again supporting the Lama's words, religion is a one's very personal matter... Its for the betterment of a person himself and not to plonk hurdles in other's way...

    What I wrote was my ideology but while adressing the global problem of religious divide, I must propose a remedy to the adressed issue which to me is not only global preachment but also a strict implementation by autonomous organizations such as UN and other dominant corporations.

    With sincere regards to readers,

    Hajra Niaz Swati

    Rachna you are absolutely right but what you are talking about is not the neutral behavior .This action of mingling religion with politics and spreading hatred on the name of religion actually depicts the global weakness which we need to combat on priority basis!

    I agree that religion can be a very personal part of one's identity, but it has also been related to political goals and actions of countries.
