Religion: My thoughts

Religion is one of the thing what man is much biased in his lifetime.Given the age of the earth ,roughly estimated to be 4.5 billon years...(oh,my head ),the number of religions in the history of mankind is roughly around some hundreds.Presently Buddhism,Christianity,Islam and Hinduism are major ones.Throughout the Ages,in the theme of religion many books have written,songs sung and wars waged.

I was raised in a christian family,observing the rules of goods and bads. I listened to the biblical stories and some christian narratives from my seniors. One day during the vacation,I came across the English Illustrated Bible in the possession of my uncle. The words in this books was really easy,as i have some difficulty with grammer that time. Often,when i went to his house,during vacations to read that picturesque book..these days I valued highly.

The truth is that the sailor is not a sailor without experiencing a storm in the dark night. I felt the inner tempest in 1999,when I bought the moral text from a school I joined that summer. It contains the things,some against my church. I felt that i am a fool. I even argue with my parents in these things and even shouted "The pope is the antichrist" ,actually i didn't know who he is!!What a person I am. Instantly believed all things without testing. Oh! I love science, my great science which is the subject of observations and explainations of all phenomena in the universe using theories and assumptions. I have no compass, and i was told to be quiet.

When in college,my search for truth is googling the internet,even reading Quran from my friend and thinking in bed. It was a kind of my compass,leading me to some horizons,hoping that there will be a enough light of truth.

A sailor may be a fool,as in the Middle Age, bounded by superstitions believing that the flat earth end in a place called the "Cape of Storms" in the corner of Africa. This fear held the adventureres for mostly two hndreds years till the darling
Bartolomeu Dias successfully encircled the cape,which was later named as the "Cape of Good Hope". Well,it is a piece of history.

There is a possiblility in living without a religion.Religion is a fabricated word.
A man has to live in his world with the qualities he has with or without his consciousness. It is more important to know that,at the same time a poor and a rich is born. Well,they are brothers. Compassion along with wisdom is more justified before a religion. A religion can preach about compassion and wisdom,but Compassion and Wisdom has no religion forehand. The person with these qualities can worship true "GOD" and truth.
