Religion

A big word that has caused lot of chaos in the world we are now.

This morning a man called me, his appearance clearly has shown that his religious, a clergyman I'd say, then he told me that it's been days that he's observing me. He went ahead and ask me this very annoying question "why are you wearing a bracelets to mosque and not just that but one of them has a cross sign on it", then I told him it means nothing to me. he went ahead and quoted a Quranic verse that "says it's a sign of those that God will punish because it's says that sign is part of those who said Allah has a child who will eventually end up in hell for that", all these he said doesn't freak me because it's a normal thing, not until he cut them loose then I looked at him then started to nag him. The issue created a scene in the street and the most funniest thing is that he even stood up that what he did was the right thing. The man am speaking about is far more older than me still I stood up and made my point clear that 'religion isn't by accessories or by what people say you should believe in, it's about you doing it from your heart, my people call it *Iman* which means faith the first pillar of being religious. Worshipping God is done in many ways and this is my way and that's what am gonna do'

That's when I took it up that I must try to enlighten us read.cashers on what religion means to me...

What's religion by the way it means "what people believe in, which they regard as holy, sacred, absolute, spiritual, divine, or worthy of especial reverence". It is sometimes regarded as consisting of the way people deal with ultimate concerns about their lives and their fate after death. Meanwhile to me religion isn't just what you worship, neither is it the one that tells you how to be who you are, religion is a part of our life I agree but we do not let it decide us. Religion is what you believe is unique to you being you,what we could sacrifice for at our loose end, religion is relating one's attitude to the broader human natural world... I personally have several religion, to me music is a religion committing my time to it is part of me, ditto making friends everywhere I go at least one. I think we shouldn't allow religion to interrupt our way of communicating with the one who created us. All we know is that we met religion we do not know who created them, sometimes I asked myself this question about religion and its roots where it arose from which always lead me to the ancient religions and belief which include Hinduism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Shintoism these are the oldest known religion while the popularly known religions are the Christianity and Islamism. there are other religions also including:African religion; Anatolian religion; ancient Iranian religion; Arabian religion; Baltic religion; Buddhism; Calvinism; Celtic religion; Christianity; Confucianism; Daoism; Eastern Orthodoxy; Eastern rite church; Egyptian religion; Finno-Ugric religion; Germanic religion and mythology; Greek religion; Hellenistic religion; Hinduism; Islam; Jainism; Judaism; Mesopotamian religion; Middle Eastern religion; Mormon; mystery religion; Native American religions; Neo-Paganism; new religious movement; Old Catholic church; Orphic religion; prehistoric religion; Protestantism; Protestant Heritage, The; Roman Catholicism; Roman religion and many others.

Many war, conflicts and Chaos has occurred due to religious difference between people but the interesting part is that some still believe in the differentiation

So am here to enlighten us, we should decide religion not the vice versa, let this be clear to you religion was made by some people, we all can connect to God without being religious, it's just a sign of respect and continuity of legacies... Thanks so much for reading
