Faith-based coercion and violence- why ?



The God of philosophy is different from God of Religions. The God of philosophy is a hypothesis to understand this Reality and reality beyond. The God of Religion is a myth and religion demands faith and human mind is free flying bird that flies with doubt and only deliberately nested in the nest of faith.
The founder of religion himself has doubts many times and his close followers also harbour doubt time to time.
After this starts the phase of proselyte and many simple folk join the fraternity of faith and their simple beliefs, their dreams and some happenings in their personal lives considered miracle strengthen the faith of veterans too and quieten their inner bird.
The human mind doubts existence of God and moreover doubts the claim of man that God talked to him or the claim he is son of God or the claim that angel of God comes to him.
Thus basic articles of faith of all the three Semitic religions are under doubt. The initial fraternity becomes powerful and so it forces its faith upon others. Some embrace faith under coercion others meet death and all this success strengthens the faith and quietens the doubt in their own heart. Then this becomes a powerful state and annexes other nations in its fold and all this helps in strengthen the faith. In due course of time, some people add some things that suite them because of their earlier faith and then ruling elite forcibly crushes such ‘heresies’. Other people who are dangerous because of some non-religious reasons such as peasants revolting against lords, they are put on Inquisition and their leaders eliminated this way. Similarly, people of different ethnicity are crushed.
The religions were developed and used to fulfil other interests of ruling elites and more likely the ruling elites don’t have faith. In modern World, every educated man and woman knows that human beings are on Earth for about 100000 years or more and they understand very well that sky is not roof and earth is not floor. They know that God cannot be man like and cannot be referred as He. The right thinking educated persons must come to God of philosophy -http://manesiro-myworld.blogspot.in/2015/11/god-is-not-as-described-by-religions.html

They must fulfil their historical responsibility of making this World  a better place and this is possible only through joint action and strong and democratic UN. The starvation and slavery must be ended and it is quite feasible and all in equality based upon race, caste and gender must end and equal rights must be ensured to everyone.
