FREEDOM OF RELIGION


We have life.  Hence there must have been a creator.  Whether or not Jesus, Moses and Mohammad are fictional characters of the aristocracy of the times, I cannot tell you.  As there are about half a dozen choices of faiths in the known world, it is a difficult choice to make.  Which philosophy is right is debatable.  Was Jesus messiah, was Mohamed also messiah, is the messiah still coming, I do not know.  It does not matter.  Each have instructions of good life.  In a free world, you have choice.  The advice is given.  Thou shall not kill is in every religion.  Maintain individual liberty, but still allowing for our neighbors liberty as well.  The liberty to life.  This is the only thing that must really be known.  The rest is in moderation.  Moderation in sexual activity.  Moderation in drugs and alcohol is also acceptable in the upper crest of the west.  It is only when we over indulge without a means to source all these desires that a problem arises.  A uniting religion, way of life or philosophy of living, can eradicate all the conflict present today in the known world.

Whether we are descendant of Isaac or Ishmail, it should matter not.  We have no means to verify ‘facts’ of 2000-5000 years ago.  It doesn’t matter.  Whether one is black, brown, yellow or white,it matter not.  Language and culture differ too.  It does not matter.  We are all children of God.  You have the freedom, by all means, to worship a God by the name of Jehovah, or the one by the name of Allah.  Whether it be Buddha or Shiva, it matter not.  As long as you live within the constraints of social contract.  Out social contracts bears us the liberty of free religion, as long as it doesn’t interfere with another’s, liberty for life.  As long as these are no rites of sacrifice within your religion, then you are allowed to practice free religion.  However, you might need an elucidation of your laws.  ‘Thou shall not kill’ means:
-‘no animal shall be killed’
- ‘no blood shall be split’

We are bound by this social contract in dialectal materialism.  Greater happiness for the greater number!
