Religion, greed, cruelty and superstition

All religions teach us to be good people and give us moral stories, from which we develop ourselves to be good and do good only. But, it is people's bad mentality that creates problems and do activities, that not even God will be able to tolerate.
1 year back, I read about an incident that happened in Mumbai. A couple had 2 children, a boy and a girl, 5 and 3 years each. Their superstitious tuition teacher told parents that children had some evil shadows and she will help them. Believing her, a night, parents tied both children with a rope inside the home and the teacher canned both kids with a stick, asking the evil to go away from kids' body.
After some time, both the kids died and the teacher escaped.
Now also, I feel very upset when those two kids come to my mind. They beat the kids after they are tied. That hurts me more. :(

It is really sick . People are plunged into misconceptions of ill thoughts and they never think about the loss which actually they are gaining.

It's simply appalling and bestial! When are going to rid our society of these viciously abominable practices?

Such treachorous activities are been practiced from such a long time....and nothing is being done to remove this evil.......it really makes me sad :(

Well,it's true that true religion brings out the best in us but pseudo one can shame even our animals. A hungry animal goes on the prowl to meet its legitimate needs but we,bipeds,go on the prowl to deprive others of their legitimate needs after satisfying our not so legitimate ones!

yes, there are many people in world that they believe on evil shadow. They do somany tourchers to unknown people in the name of evil. This must be stopped and a strong law needs to introduce against such people.

yeah we do need a strong law system to eradicate such evils from the society.....

Yes as we are growing day be day no one is stopping this activities this makes loose of children life.

It is very serious topic you discuss here many people think so but this is not right.

This world is full of greedy, jealous, followers of bad ways of religion. They forget the good things of life ad run after the bad, the whole problem is with upbringing.
