If God created multiple religion than God is bad

If God created multiple religions than it would be logical to say that God is bad because of so many conflicts in beliefs of different religions because of which humans remain divided. Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are the major religions.You would say that religion was created by man but religious people believe that their religions was created under the will and command of God. Jews and Muslims deny Jesus as the son of God. They deny Jesus did for our sins. Jews do not believe Muhammad was a prophet. Hindus believe in idol worship Muslims do not. Conflicts between Hindus and Muslims is not hidden from anyone. There are many such conflicts in the beliefs of these religions. There have been many religious wars taken place in the past leading to death of millions of people. For...

Open society and religion

Religion has always been a threat to open society because in an open society people have to think beyond their religion. Many times people living in an open society will have to break their religious rules, they will have to keep aside their religious beliefs and think beyond their religion. Liberal and open minded people are able to do it but orthodox and religious fanatic people do not accept this and they start threatening or start using violent means and they make it a case of hurting their religious sentiments. All this creates a hole in an open society and it all depends on the government how it handles such a situation, if the government is liberal and strong then it would never bow down to such hyper sensitive religious fanatic people. If the government bows down...

Open Society and conflict in views

An open society is one in with people are free to discuss anything, put their views forward whether anyone likes it or not. People have freedom of speech, freedom of writing, freedom for artists to carry out their work etc. Because of this freedom there will be conflicts in views among the people. If a person says something or expresses his views then there will be people who will oppose him and there will be people who will support him. It is impossible to create an open society where there will be no conflict in views because its the basic human nature every person thinks differently and everyone has their own views and opinions. An open society can only function well if there is no partiality and everyone is equal, everyone is allowed to express their views even if that person...

Everyone has the right to think

Many people get concerned about what others might think when they will do a particular thing. People with low self esteem or people who think about themselves in a negative way always interpret or give more emphasis to what others think about them rather than what they think about themselves that's why people with low self esteem avoid facing other people.The bottom line is that you cannot control the way others think. Even if you say something which is correct there will be people who will agree with you and there will be people who will oppose you. Everyone is born with the right to think, they can think what ever they want so why do you get concerned about something over which you do not have any control. You cannot control the way others think. You will never really be able to know what...

People Look at you the way you look at yourself

I will just tell you a small story which I made myself and it will be enough for you to understand the meaning of the statement "people look at you the way you look at yourself" or "people think about you the way you think about yourself". Tom a college student wakes up in the morning to get ready for college. Tom had a hair cut the previous day which he didn't like and when he steps in front of the mirror and looks at his face he gets concerned. He creates a self image in his mind that he is looking bad and his hair cut was a blunder. He enters his college campus. Tom had to walk up to his class room, he was feeling very uncomfortable. A thought was creeping up into his mind that other students must be looking and making fun of him. Now Tom sees a group of students smiling and he starts...

How to boost your self esteem

Examine the circumstances that make you feel low and try to understand the reasons for them. For example : you may feel low in school in front of your class mates the reason could be that you think you are not good looking, you feel shy to put forward your views etc. The reason could be anything but you have to think about solutions to the problem. Ignoring the problem is not going to help you. You should accept yourself the way you are. Every person is different and no one is perfect in this world. One mistake people do is try compare their negative points with others positive points. For example: Tom is not good looking and a thought keeps on creeping into his mind that 'why do I look like this and all my friends are good looking why am I not like them'. You should compare your positive...

Keep the spark shining

Keeping the spark shining. So where do these spark stark ? I think everyone is born with them.. For example when you see small kids they seem to be full of spark even the simplest of things make them thrilled and happy. When you see students you still see some spark but when you see older people the spark is difficult to find. So as we grow older the spark tends to fade which may be a result of additional responsibilities, family pressure, personal problems etc. People whose spark fades too much seem to be dull, dejected, aimless and bitter. No doubt difficult times will come in everyone's life. There will be disappointments or even failures but the trick is to face these challenges and not let the spark fade. Lets take the example of Lance Armstrong. When he was suffering form cancer surely...
