Only Bible for the poor!

It is really a sad thing that almost 80% of the people living today believe in one religion or another. They don’t know what they believe. They have been conditioned into it and they blindly do so. If they were born into another religion as children they would have followed that and considered their present one nonsense.

It’s good to recollect that almost all people are atheists except that they believe in their own religion. Every religion cannot be true anyway. And hence we have to believe that either none of them is true or all are true. If all are true the gods who represent them would have forbidden their own followers from massacring followers of their brother gods. They would have taught them to love others. But the followers of one religion hate those of another one and insist on seeing them with apprehension, if not hatred. They also maintain that no other religion is true.

There is only one option left. The various gods of different religions are in rivalry and are competing with each other. Wars, conflicts, massacre, killing and hatred continue everywhere. Gods of some of the religions themselves have massacred millions of innocent people. Some of the gods have chosen to murder others and annex their territories for their chosen ones.

Killing men, women, children, the crippled and the invalids do not in any way show compassion or love. We should believe that gods who do such heinous deeds are demons. They have played bullies so far. They have been cruel and angry with man who is in a  miserable plight down here. Gods have been killing children mercilessly; they have been sending natural calamities like quakes, floods, famines, volcanic eruptions, tempests, cyclones, tsunamis, horrendous diseases and plagues. There is no help coming from any one of them any time.  No prayer is being answered ever. No help reaches the poor billions who die of hunger, malnutrition and diseases.

The only thing available in abundance for the poor is the religious text like Bible. Quakes, tsunamis, cyclones, floods, plaques, famine, diseases, poverty and horrendous viruses are in abundance too killing children, teens and adults. Even after a fllood, plague, quake or flood the pious Christians distribute Bible free to the survivors!  In Nepal after the horrendous quake and its aftershocks missionaries distributed Bibles. In Chennai (old Madras) after the recent  devastating flood, Bibles were given free too.  

Does mankind require such religious texts anymore? They harp on an afterlife and discourage people from making most of this life. A considerable percentage of man’s resources and time have already been wasted for religions. Millions of innocent people have been tortured and killed in the name of religions and holy fight. Such books inspire people for terror and killing even now. Why should man waste his time reading such nonsense?  

Can We Prevent Natural calamities?

  In a sense, thought are things and the prolonged, intense thoughts do become things. A building is first conceived as an idea before it is transferred into a paper and then into the ground.  Everything that we see down here began as a thought. The whole civilization has been made real through man’s imagination and his thoughts.  But all that happen on this earth are not brought about by thoughts. 

There are natural disasters like tempests, hurricanes, earthquakes, famines, volcanic eruptions, floods, pestilences, epidemics and plaques which occur as per the inherent physical, gravitational and chemical laws of this planet, the Solar system and the universe as a whole. No one including gods can prevent or produce them.. The forces involved are colossal, beyond even the reach of human imagination.  Yes, conscious, energized and persistent thoughts always become reality or whatever one visualizes for long does happen. The energy and the mental vibes will influence nature to attract forces, people and circumstances that will help in the transformation. The brain vibrations will interact with the universal energy and the invisible thing becomes tangible. But it is erroneous to say that ‘things are thoughts.’

Natural calamities are also forms of energy. But the energy involved is colossal. The forces are massive and huge. Nobody can bring or stop a volcanic eruption or an earthquake or a hurricane.  Imagine one of us thinks of stopping one of them. Let us say one focuses all his thoughts on stopping an earthquake. His thoughts produce some energy, but it is negligible in comparison to the massive tectonic forces involved in shaking this earth! Even if a billion people concentrated upon the desire in absolute harmony and channelized their thoughts on the target, it would amount to almost nothing in comparison.

A thought produces infinitesimal energy. A million peoples’ thoughts of a day or a month or a year will not produce any significant value to affect a natural calamity.  Everything in nature follows the laws of the Universe.  Bigger forces overpower smaller ones. Who can stop the earth spinning around the sun? It has been doing so for over 4200 million years! It has to continue its revolution and its rotation around its own axis so far as the overpowering sun’s gravity lasts. . The sun, with all its attendant planets and their moons, is revolving around the galactic nucleus with a speed of 250 kilometers per second!  It cannot stop this either. Everything on this earth---plants, animals and humans ----are produced by an infinitesimal portion of the sun’s energy that reaches this earth. The ‘poor’ little humans down here cannot prevent  natural calamities which are powered by the Sun and the changes happening on the earth’s core and its mantle.  Man has to produce colossal amounts of energy to bring about any change and as he can never do the same and natural calamities will continue.
