What is religion? Is it by name? Is it by natural order? Is it by rule in doing deeds? Is it to unite us? Or is it by God?And so on...

Conflicts and war broke because of religion they say, but let's not confused ourselves with that when we believe that religion taught us what's good or bad. It is simply 'US' that can't accept one's stand and understanding of religion that makes us scattered!

As I walked and passed by the plaza or by cathedral, I saw two group of people debating who's religion and understanding of the holy bible was right! They were aiming to have people to appreciate and be at their side to fight with them side by side. But by doing this things, did they make sense? Are they only trying to prove there own so called LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE and neglected the true essence of having Holy Bible and religion? This is only a simple beginning of a conflict!

But why do really have a religion?

I believe that this thing exist to be taught about supreme being - the Father Almighty! We are also taught the difference between good and bad; that  we must seek kindness in this material world! And don't forget about the consequences and the result of all deeds that we've done in this life. If we live doing good deeds then we surely be blessed but by harming other's will surely result in punishment. These are just some parts of the common yet same teaching in all religion.

But why do we need to fight when we are taught to be kind and be understand?

Why do we make our religion as an excuse and cause for conflicts and wars?

We are going beyond and heartless!

Despite of having different religion and God's proclaimed name, we must not forget the heart and message of every religion that exist in this world; that is LOVE!

Yes! LOVE is the message behind those texts written in different Holy Bibles designated to every different religions that we've known! No matter how we interpret it, we still have the common ground, right? Why do we need to focus on the things that is too hard for us to explain and start a fight when we can actually settle on the common ground that we have and have a peaceful living? Why is it too difficult? WHY???

The answer is simple, we are easily overwhelmed by earthly fame and controlled by our dark side and emotions. We clearly battling not because of religious affairs but due to unseen intentions like the biggest and famous religious group that becomes the dominating believers group that leads to belittling others faith beliefs in life. This too leads disorientation of the true essence of religion and causes discrimination all over the world believing that those who are not part of a certain group to be condemned as wrong and vice versa. While some group of believers rallies and bent to violence to be heard, this is sucking true of what's happening right now!

Sometimes, there are things that must not be dig deeper like an unfathomable wisdom. We cant even face and made up our minds with the simple and common grounds that we have, why would you bother to dig the complicated matters?

Well my friend, that good article,

The purpose of religion is really a vague topic. Whatever answer we make in conclusion everything will suit our positions on it.

And I believe , the purpose of religion is finding self. The purpose is to get the answer of who am I ?

Obviously as your point religion seeks love, exactly find self through the realization of love that is widespread in n existence।

There is no better way t of find self with love,

But I am aware that we can find , the answer of who am I in misery too,
