Religion is not something to fight over but to live by. We each and everyone of us has some form of belief and faith in something or someone, even the most jaded of us. Religion or the communion between man and his God is a sacred and personal relationship between the two, it is a covenant that is unwritten and yet etched in the very heart of each and every soul. There are those who are awaken to this and there are those forever ignorant of it; that man is more than what he thinks. Thoughts are merely mental formations just as the body is the physical manifestation of the spirit within. The Divine Spark, the dynamo that is firing up our electrical energies to run this body and mind is within us, "The Temple of the Living God is within me," remove this spark and what have we? How we insist in belittling our divinity and place it among the trash of the decadent is a wonder; we do our utmost to squander our very own Buddha Nature.
Today we have become so egocentric that we assume we have all the answers even to the questions of the origin of our own being. Yet we claim to have hardly use 10% of our brain matter to be considered among the genius. We try to unravel the mysteries of the Universe simple by calculating numbers and writing down hypothesis, making random assumptions and claiming our way is the way and the only way there is and what is even more sad is the fact that we are willing to kill and be killed for these assumptions. There is whole lot preaching and not so much practicing when it comes to faith and belief systems and as such Love is just another concept like Compassion and Mindfulness, but to Love in the true sense of the word unconditionally is not attainable in practice.
The Atheists and agnostics may doubt the existence of a Creator a Cosmic Entity governing the whole package we call existence and the religious may defend to their last breadth of an existing Divinity that Lords over us; both are equally in error. For so long as we argue with our mental faculty or thoughts and ideas, we are destined to fail for thoughts and ideas are a product of the mind and the mind is never permanent, ever fleeting and changing in nature and thus incapable of comprehending the eternal and unchanging.
If the human mind is capable of becoming still for long enough to witness the awesomeness of Being itself, it might catch a glimpse of God.
"A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell." C.S.Lewis.
