Not a troll - :) Sorry dude I try my level best not to...
But the pseudo-religious people.. compel me to.... :(
Khalid - I would have loved to answer you.... but problem is..... tht I ll be able to tell a Hindu tht the religion is more beautiful and mystic than they presume it is.....
Whtever I would like to share they know the basics and foundation....
m don think I am good enough to tell someone who knows nothing about it...
But in Brief -
1. It is not abour praying the idols as God. it is praying God through these idols.....
Yes God is shapeless and without any limits...
but it is impossible for human mind to think of nothingness.....
Even in Islam.. same is expected... but to pray....
you need photo of Mecca n Madina.....
Definitely... you are not praying a building...
it is symbolic... through the image of Mecca or the words written as "Allah".. definitely the text is not what is holy.... but through it.. you pray the God......
Religion is man made - Winn answered it in a nice way....
religion for me.. is when one man... the Prophet... realized the existence of God.... he shared his divine, pious, and joyous experience with others.....
he had to use words.... guidelines... etc
these became religion.....
If you could look at it without being offended.. as it is not intended to....
You know about God Allah... the way Prophet Mohammed described it.....
his description of his experience became the religion....
Same is true for all religions.....
Khalid you really think there was a paper or ink before there where weapons to kill preys... and civilization to live together .....
And important thing is.... religion being man made doesn make it any less important........ or less pious....
someone realized the love of God.....
religion is a tool for us to try to enjoy tht nectar self....
QL... your response is highly awaited.
