THE ABBERATION IN RELIGION

Religion is an ancient practice that has become a lifestyle for the world.Christianity islam atheism buddhism hinduism are just a few of the many religions practiced but there are two common religions christianity and islam.Christianity was spread by the west to other parts of the world.Islam on the other became a thing over time from asia to the middle east.The 7 end time churches warned in the Bible today is turkey which is an islamic nation.The Bible and Koran direct Christians and Muslims on how to think and act.The basis of most religions however is love.The Bible teaches to love God with your heart soul mind and strength then to love your neighbour as yourself.The Koran teaches about the prophet mohammed jihad sharia and a paradise.The story of how a saviour came to heal the world  born of a mother and father is potrayed by most religions.But the question is what is the goal of religion to heal or to destroy.
Religion has given way to hypochritical freedom.Its become so questionable that you wonder if it is a blessing or a curse.In the west like britain and america religion has been inculcated into lifestyle that there is no craze for it compared to other parts of the world.The Bible teaches that there is a judgement and life after death where one goes to hell or heaven.This sounds weird to most people and in their minds they think God must be wicked.It gives an aura of indifference about the christian religion.Islam talks of sharia jihad and paradise where men who are jihadists would get married to virgins in paradise.Religious practice in the middle east has become so scary that cameras and journalists need to cover stories on them.Extremism and terrorism has become the norm in the world today and that depicts islam.It must be known that the christian religion avoids wars and even advises that the other chick be turned.Sharia hasnt made it easier.Women and children are killed married out early raped and used as suicide bombers or human shields due to this crude beliefs.So what is the benefit of religion.Some argue that it is supposed to be a way of life but religious conflicts have led to several places in the world being displaced.The christian religion has no solution to extremism and islam tends towards a third world war.Other religions are silent becos they do not have a solution too i guess.However the christian religion preaches love and faith and equity.So what can be done.
  1. Religion is necessary in life becos it helps you connect to a divine being which is believed to be the creator.What i think can be a solution to religious abberation is to avoid sentiments emotional highs and lows.In africa children are punished beaten and dealt with through different evil practices due to believe that they are demon possessed.There is so much psychological impacts in the way everything is viewed.People believe wall geckos and cats get possessed so pets are avoided.Also this allows for diabolical practices becos people believe they could be jinxed so they delve into the occult.The Christian religion has become so infiltrated that its not so easy to tell a real from fake.So is the orthodox path a solution.The roman catholic methodist anglican and baptist do they have an answer different from the pentecostal.I believe there is nothing new but we need to be careful to preserve our planet.Wars dont heal they destroy since it takes a long time to rebuild what has been scattered.Also religious divide can never bring together.I believe what man needs is a personal relationship with God and not just religion.'Although' the Bible says one cannot connect with God without his son Jesus.All you need is faith good works and believe that a divine being exists.Religious conflicts might never end but the world can learn to live in tolerance.
