Education does not make people smart / intelligent.
lol, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Open your eyes, countries with non-religious majority are doing just fine. What are your thoughts on that?
Education does not make people smart / intelligent.
I think you forgot to grammar50 years ago, when rahu time comes in the day was part of curriculum.
Killing, fighting in the name of religion. How many people can you count.How does religion make people ignorant BTW?
Religion is just a tool to control the masses, which is evident even from your comment, if you could see it.Masses aren't that intelligent. They can easily be led astray by demagogues since they are slaves of social conditioning and are not freethinkers.

Opening educational institutions is not enough, quality education should be provided, everyone knows what is the motive of christian missionaries in India, and the quality of education provided in madarsas.
here is what i have to say about recent posts & to remind about the title of this topic:
god is not same as religion.you can believe in god without being limited to any religion.discuss god against science not religion against science here.for that open another thread.
I'd say "guide" rather than "control." It is extremism which we must keep in control. I'm an advocate of complete freedom; let people choose what's best for them.
As for people's actions, they bear complete responsibility for their actions. You can't blame books and ideas for such heinous acts. Its like blaming Shaktiman for children's deaths, when they tried to imitate him a lot a decade ago.
So what do you all think about sepding in thousands for poojas?
IMO,
by that money , many factories could be setup in which the poor people could work and earn.
and India will atleast not remain in this condition of non employment.
since i live in bengal, i have seen crores spen into decorating (IMO, Wasting )
and I seriously feel, that Maa Durga will be much much more happier with what i stated in my first 2 lines.
Exactly,But my mom an all don't understand, I said instead of all this why not feed the POOR,they are like Don't say like this god will curse you.
Now tell me,How would pooja benfit? By spending money?
If they are so intrested PRAY FROM Heart not VIA 2nd mouth(pandits mouth) praying for you
NO OFFENSE TO ANY ONE HERE

Don't follow through, posting link only for src The misplaced.A small comparative study done in a comic way, between the Norse and Greek traditions at times of similar calamity, can probably explain things in a better perspective.
Scenario 1: Hurricane and storm in the middle of the ocean.
Norse sailors: "Njord is angry! Well, we'll have a grand feast in his name if we manage to get past this storm".
Greek sailors: "Lord Poseidon is angry! Let's us bribe him a big sacrifice, think of ways to please him, pray to his statue and person to get us through this storm.*
Scenario 2: Thunderstorms
Norse : "Thor is angry! He is a short-tempered god after-all. Nothing big there".
Greek : "Zeus is angry! PRAY!"
Scenario 3: A good harvest.
Norse :* If we have a good harvest, we'll feast, drink and dance. Gods would be pleased with our merriment and laughter. It will be a fitting gesture of gratitude.*
If it was not a good harvest, we'll just go hunting, gathering and doing something else.
Greek : Pray to Gods for a good harvest. If it is not, Gods are angry. Pray again.*
If it is, Gods are pleased. Pray again to say thanks!
