FORBIDDEN DISCUSSION

 In the real sense, it is not a forbidden discussion but people avoid talking about it and I mean talking about their religion especially to someone who does not share their belief. No matter how, everybody  belongs to a religion in one way or the other simply because they were born into a certain religious group, so if  you  claim now that you have no religion then your religion is religion-less. Whenever there is necessity to discuss religion at all, people discuss it casually in order to avoid fight /argument and that is the reason behind why people avoid talking about it because each religion holds on to the belief that their own religion is right while others are wrong.
What is common to all religions is the belief and dogma or doctrine, belief is the assurance that is given to you by others about what you do not really know, while doctrine is nothing but a philosophical system.  And what is philosophy? It is just a rational investigation of questions about existence, knowledge and ethics on how to live or how to deal with a situation.
The so-called religion today is just a system of beliefs and the funniest thing is that true religion has nothing to do with belief. Religion is an experience, not a belief. We know trees by their fruits and if you look at the history of religion you will be surprised that religion has not proved a blessing instead it has proved a curse. The whole history of man is full of bloodshed because of these so-called religions, telling people that if you kill in the name of religion it is not a sin and as a result of these, more people have been killed by religious wars, crusades, jihads. Muslims   killing Christians, Christians killing Muslims, Christians killing Jews, Jews killing Christian, Hindus killing  Muslim s, Muslims killing Hindus, Hindus killing Buddhists ... The whole history of religions so far is bloody.
That is an undeniable fruits of our so called religion of the past till now and these shows that they are all bogus religions, fake or false; they are all talking about love but up till now man have lived in a world of hatred, enmity, jealousy, and possessiveness. We have not yet been able to create even a small oasis of religion hence the whole establishment of the religions is basically anti-love – because they want slaves, they want servants, and they want efficient machines, not men. And these goes against the love that all of them are talking about.
If you know the origin of the word ‘religion’ you can understand what true religion is. The word ‘religion’ is very beautiful. It originated from the Latin noun religio" It comes from a root of three verbs: (1) relegere (to turn to constantly/observe conscientiously); (2) religare (to bind oneself [back]) and (3) reeligere (to choose again) and from this 3 verbs we can understand the meaning of religion.
So religion means: to reunite. With whom?  With yourself, with the source of your being or, to remember again. This word ‘remember’ is also beautiful. It means to become the member again, re-member – to become part of the source again, to go to the source and become the member again. Religion is reuniting with your own source. Religion is remembering, becoming again a part of the organic unity that you were. It has nothing to do with the others.

So the whole search of religion is how to get back to your roots, how to be one with existence again as you were before birth. The way of religion is love. Not all these cultures, traditions they called moralities, and remember that truth is one, so also true morality is universal acceptable not different doctrine.
