Religions and humanity
Humanity is a threshold level of characteristic that is expected from each human living in this planet. But nowadays, the ability of being humans with humanity is lessening among the world’s population. The primary reason for this behaviour could be due to people want more money and chasing behind it to gain all means to save their modern life cycles in which they are adequate whether they like it or not. There are also secondary reasons such as poverty, sick at overcoming Slavism, desire to dominate all others, vulnerabilities of some societies and persons and the advantages taken by others who are physically or financially or politically or socially stronger than them and long listed several etcs. What I mentioned here are only the reasons. But what is the idea behind believing in the concept that religions make peace in the minds of people, even if they can’t strengthen the point of humanity in their minds. I am not talking about god but am noticing the failing point of religions in keeping humans with humanity. You may say that all religions are against to sins and are focusing on creating a strict regulation of living. I do agree in that all religions teach us to go in the right path. But it is only like they are creating kind of fear in the minds of people. Each religion has at least one strict rule that is expected as a ‘must’ to be followed by the followers. What they mostly say is ‘if you don’t follow this, you will go to hell after your death’. So a fear is only created in the minds of followers and not peace. This is the failing point of religions. Humanity cannot be taught. This is just a feeling as you get hungry, thirsty, joy, irritation or whatever it is. Nothing will happen if you fail to have humanity unless it makes a doubt whether you are a human or not. Humanity is an important aspect of every living being that is identified as human on this earth. When you see some one who is suffering, you should automatically try to help as to the level you can. Failure of humanity starts when you start helping only to ensure that you are not making your god anger or just to refuse getting hell after death. This is why I say religions fail in the concept of keeping humans as humans.
