Friends,
The verdict on that piece of land where a masjid known as Babri Masjid stood and some claim it be the birth place of Lord Ram, will be out on Thursday next.I am not concerned with who is right or who is wrong but just think of kind of bloodshed this issue has seen involving loss of innocent lives - all in the name of religion! I am reminded of a great saying of Benjamin Franklin which is in the title of the thread.
Good Night,friends!

It is need of hour!! Demand of time!! Something has to be done concrete!! somebody has to come out and eradicate these unholy elements and make the society free from this curse and make the life beautiful where love resides in the heart of everyone irrespective of cast, creed, culture and color.
Religion concept is introduced by man in olden days, inorder to get employment. And to seek the way for worshiping GOD.
But now this has been misused by politicians and many other religious heads for their own benefits.
As said by Kumaresh, We should aim a religious-free society.......

Religion as such does not harm. There are closed communities based on religion that divide people and bring in many malpractices. The suggestion that work of saints be combined as common heritage is excellent. In this direction, akbar the Great had made an attempt to unite all and he introduced Din-e-ilahi. Later, Annie Beasant formed 'Theosophical society of India' which is based on common teaching and heritage. If we can weed out malpractices and inhuman practices from religion, this will be great service to humanity.

@kumaresh
Religion does not make any body wicked or evil, but misinterpretation and misunderstanding of religion compel man to behave in foolish and immature ways.
Very true kumaresh, i do agree with your statement...These misunderstanding are created by some wicked minded people...
