Religion & Reality

By : Freeyad Ibrahim

In Nietzsche s eyes, religion exists in a hypocritical state where people preach love and kindness but find their real enjoyment in condemning others for enjoying the impulses they themselves are not allowed to act on .
That is exactly what Gibran Khalil Gibran, the Arabic – American writer, philosopher , painter , poet , tries to confirm in his masterpiece book The Prophet :
" What do you say of the cripple who hates dancers?What of the ox who loves his yoke and deems the elk and deer of the forest stray and vagrant things?
What of the old serpent who cannot shed his skin, and calls all others naked and shameless?
And of him who comes early to the wedding-feast, and when over-fed and tired goes his way saying that all feasts are violation and all feasters law-breakers?

Those great minds stood firmly against the hypocrite religious figures who only powered and mastered over the weak and ignorant.
Abu Alaa` al Mua´rry, the greatest Arab poet and philosopher sheds much more light upon this fact implicitly :
( The world holds two classes of men -- intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence.)
Mahatma Gandhi had an universal doctrine and principles of peace:
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."
"There are many causes that I am prepared to die for but no causes that I am prepared to kill for.”
Later in his life when he was asked whether he was a Hindu, he replied:
"Yes I am. I am also a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist and a Jew."
So if you are a Christian, Muslim or Jew, you might not be wrong.
But you are absolutely wrong in case you are unfaithful in your faith!!
