Christianity, Shinto, Islam, Buddhism
and Hinduism: these are just few of the different religious convictions being
practiced around the world. Christianity, to be considered having the most
followers in the world, comprises 29 to 32% of the world’s population. Which of
these is/are right? Have you ever asked yourselves?
“One world with different beliefs,”
this could be the best expression to describe the partition of two or more
countries, communities, or even a family.
According to the adherents.com, there
are about thousands of religions scattered around the world. With this numerous
sectors or separation and as what our world or even our nation facing nowadays,
we could consider that religion is one of the factors why there are conflicts
and wars in this world. They (religion preachers) always say that they are the
truth, or even the chosen one! And they will be saved from the death of this
world of ours.
Aside from wars or so whatever,
divided faith also results to racism. According to some researchers, religion
has a close relationship with fundamentalism and racism. Racism in the sense
that, difference religion preaches racial tolerance that can lead to
misunderstandings and can cause to racial tolerance which has a great part into
the morality of a person.
Bust still, whatever we do or say,
there are no changes at all! We are divided into many. Our society has been
into an uproar. Nobody can go back and change the past. Let us always bear in
our minds that we are all came from only one creator. Allah, Yahweh, Buddha are
just representation of our one only Divine Creator, Whom will save us from the
destruction of this material world.
No religion is wrong! We have just
our own way and faith. Religion can’t dictate our life. It is in our faith that
will lead us into the decency and rectitude of our life.
“There is only one religion, though
there are many versions of it.” – George Bernard Shaw
-Mateo
