Religion can be a kind of tyranny … Continue reading Refreshing Secularism in the Arab Muslim World

When I Voice my opinion against religions’ power to wreck havoc I am often confronted by those who think I feel the same way towards people who follow religion…. The answer is NO….

Recently I heard Zak Ebrahim talk on Ted. Zak is an activist and Author of the book “A Terrorist’s son”. His talk in my opinion raises the point that there is a better way to life and you can find it even if you have been indoctrinated to violence during childhood. That you can look at life and love instead of death and hate. It is a … Continue reading Should Kids be taught religion?

How would study of religions be different if we take out God out of the equation? This poses two questions. Firstly why do you need it without God? And secondly why is religion relevant to be studied? Let me try to answer the second question first. The relevance of religion and beliefs in human civilization are so high that you can’t understand man without knowing what has over the years shaped his mind. From fears, to laws, to cultures to wars, religions have played a major role. The future is also much the same and we are seeing more and more people trying to identify them with religions and trying to communicate with others through it. This in due course can create a vast gap among people and if more people are open to learn religion in a new light the more things can get closer. I strongly feel that this would be a better solution that promoting an outright rejection of religion.
Now for the first question, when you remove God from the equation, the whole thing becomes a philosophy which can be Continue reading “Religions should be studied without God in Mind”
