zen Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 you have a piece of land, you make a fence on a plot and call it your land you join a few pieces of such land and call it a town you join a few towns and call it a state you join a few states and call it a nation At the end of the day, we all relate to our community/race and do our best to protect it. A nation gains importance because it is a group of such communities but now in an era of diversity and multiculturalism, it is getting harder to just relate to your community and not the whole humanity .... and thus harder to get obsessed about the imaginary lines we put on the globe Religion, if taught and understood in the right way connects universally. It is not about doing well for people of your community but everyone. It's about being nice to your neighbor no matter what his/her nationality or background is In an ideal world, religion triumphs
nikred Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 ^^So you are saying, in an ideal world religion is secular humanism.
CSK Fan Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 ^^So you are saying' date=' in an ideal world religion is secular humanism.[/quote'] Yep
EnterTheVoid Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 None actually comes first. I have been too selfish to do any service for the nation and too aware to be fooled by religion. Btw Holy, if you see this thread, it will ring a bell :) Agree completely. LOL, remember that conversation quite well. You too were arguing over it whilst I was quietly eating the garlic kulcha :hysterical:
Number Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 My penis B-> Penis over religion ?? :giggle:
zen Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 ^^So you are saying' date=' in an ideal world religion is secular humanism.[/quote'] If you are referring to my post ...., the main component of all religions is humanism. If people want to relate to God and believe there is a higher power, I have no problems with that Now-a-days, we see problems created in the name of religion and people go bad mouthing religion but is that religion's fault or is it our fault that we do not understand it properly or try to use/twist it to our advantage If there were no religion, man would find something else to fight for/with. The problem lies with the man .... The importance of religion is in teaching us the right way. Like we have our parents to guide us, religion could be used as an extension of that covering the whole humanity
Alchemist Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Being born in India, which is not a religon based nation, I have been raised to put nation before religon. But, I think for people who are born and raised in a Religon based nation, this question might be quite interesting.

Clarke Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Nations are driven by their constitutions, religions by their story holy books. Which one makes more sense to you ? Tough choice, isn't it ?
