Facts or Fiction
Can we distinguish!
This is not a research based article, but an experience based.
I live in a society, and I think mine is not different from the Global Society, where most beliefs are not a result of personal conscious or research. These beliefs are inherited among generations. We can observe them in the form of rituals and behaviors.
All religions have a common goal that is to root harmony, equality and peace in society. But, some beliefs are misrepresented and cause differences among people in society.
What’s the problem?
The problem is that we are not taught to do personal research and use conscious in religion. We are taught to believe in them as they are. Questioning may be a sin, sometimes.
People design religious teachings to brainwash others
And, these misrepresented beliefs are rooted into the brains of youngsters to such an extent that no one even bothers to think or question their reality. My personal research reveals that all the beliefs which root differences and rush among people are fake teachings designed with an aim to brain wash people.
Interesting facts about our society
Here is a very interesting thing to be told about our society.
In our society children are fed with a belief that there is no need to study other religion because their religion has brought it all. So, the guys and girls study the books of the writers only of their religion, mostly. And, a fun fact is that some books mention other religions’ teachings to make their generation aware of them. Another fact is that most of what they tell are mere lies with no proofs or fake proofs or just half of the statements.
We can’t expect our children to think out of box
Can we expect, in this situation, our children to think about spiritual matters and use conscious? Can we expect them to think out of the box?
Of course not.
What teachers are doing
When these kids ask their teachers something about a religion, the teachers tell them that the religion have this bad thing, even though that may be a lie. The kids take that as feed and it becomes their belief. Guys and girls don’t even bother to do some research to find out the facts. And, one reason for this is that they believe in the ones who tell them these things.
So, who is the responsible?
Of course, the elder ones, the parents, the teachers and the society.
An instance of life
Let me tell you an instance of my life.
I had been a teacher in a private school. Once a teacher told her students, which was my class, about Ahmadiyya Community or Qadiyanis (This community is said to be non-Muslim in Muslim countries but represent Islam in all non-Muslim countries, fun fact.) that they have made their own heaven and hell in a city called Rabwah (also Chanab Nagar) and that she herself had seen that. Besides this there were other stories too.
When I heard of this I was shocked because I am an Ahmadi and I was never shown this heaven, not even was told about this heaven. hahaha
This was like a joke and a shocking statement for me because I am from that religion and I know that there are no such man made heaven and hell in Rabwah or any other place (Yup, a peaceful life/society makes it a heaven.). Then how did that teacher witnessed those heaven and hell. So, she definitely told a clear lie, or she was misguided about what she witnessed.
Let’s suppose Ahmadis made a heaven, why did they make hell? Would anyone ever like to send his beloved one into hell or would any religion ever want to send his follower into hell.
Next day I gathered with my class 9th and 10th and asked them that if someone tell them something about some religion would they believe at once. Some said yes and some were quiet. Then I told them about my religion and I told them whatever they were told was wrong. I explained them the situation and told them to do research from within that religion or it’s better to stay away and don’t bother at all what that religion is about.
This is the responsibility of our society to teach our children to find the facts from within, not from surroundings.
But, I doubt my students would have forgotten what I told them because I was with them for just about three years and they are permanent members of the society that doesn’t appreciate self conscious or research into other’s religions.
“If you want to know me ask me or my close ones. My neighbor or any other don’t know me at all.”
The point is that we are told fictions and we don’t bother to find facts because these are the matters of religion. And, there is no question in religion, according to some. And, we don’t have time to do research by our selves so we prefer to hear it from someone else.
This is it
This is our society and here we are. We, who don’t dare to find facts from fictions. And I believe that most of the people follow a religion not for spiritual meanings but for they got it in inheritance.
Let’s try to find facts from fictions……..
