 Why are people indulged in killing each other in the name of God?

 

 Ans.  The original founders of the religions were the human incarnations of the same God like Krishna, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha etc. Every religion says that their God only created this entire earth or this entire humanity. Unfortunately, there is only one earth and this proves that there is only one God mentioned by all the religions. Since God is one and the same, there cannot be contradicting concepts between the religions. But we find some contradictions and people are divided based on these contradictions. This division is leading to quarrels and finally killing each other. These contradictions cannot be from God because there is only one God as said above.  These contradictions were introduced into the religions by some misinterpretations of the followers only in the name of God. Hence the killing is also done in the name of God only. Q`ran says that you should protect even the follower of other religion and convey the message of Allah to him. It is left to him  to follow or not. Hiranyakashipu worshipped Lord Shiva and his son Prahlada ( a great devotee) worshipped Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu killed Hiranyakashipu not because he is worshipping Lord Shiva but because he tortured Prahlada to change his religion of worshipping Vishnu. In fact Shiva is Vishnu (Shivashcha Naarayanah…Veda). The conclusion of this is that God will punish you if you torture the devotee of any religion obstructing the freedom of his religion. Prahlada did not force his father to worship Vishnu. The same God exists in different forms in different religions. Hinduism is a mini model of unity in diversity that should exist in the universe as universal spirituality.

Greetings everyone,

Sadly killing in the name of religion has become very common.

It matters not if those sent by God (Such as Jesus, Buddha, etc) have always tried to teach us to love one another and to love your neighbor -- it is people who came after them who would twist the messages for power. The first thing we have to do to stop this is to refuse to harm, hurt, or interfere with another person's right to their freedom of religion. While we still are of the mind frame that only one of us has the answers and the rest of the people on Earth are doomed to hell and eternal suffering just because they call God by a different name we are not going to see an end to religious violence. It is up to each of us -- both the followers of our religions and the priest(esses) thereof to speak out for peace and acceptence. If we represent our paths with hate and violence then those following behind us later on will embrace hate and violence. However, if we embrace unity, love and acceptence than we will foster that in the people who come afterwards.This matters not if you are Christian, Muslim, Pagan, Buddist, Hindu, another path or no path in particular. It is up to each of us here to represent God in the way we see Him/Her, so let us do it with Love and Compassion for all people and beings that share this world with us.

I personally do not condone any killing in the name of God. What I know about The Divine killing is one of the worst things anyone could do -- to kill someone, animal or a person, brings great shame upon the one who did the killing. And to kill in the name of our Creator -- that is even more serious.
