Religion

I was having a conversation with my lab mate yesterday and the conversation took its turns from the laboratory enzymatic methods to something as highly unrelated as Religion and God. He is a christian from the Roman Catholic Church. For those ignorant like me , there are four different churches in US. Roman Cathlic Church, Methodist Church and few other names (which I don't really bother about). He differentiated between these churches by putting forth a few rules propagated by the churches like, Abortion is considered a sin in RCC but it is completely allowed in the Methodist church. And there were such similar rules in all these four churches.

Don't we have the free will to decide what is best suited for us ? There might exist cases when one has no other option but to abort a child.May be he/she is not in a position to support the child. Is it not the couple which is in a best position to decide what is right for them and what is right for the child.

I immediately asked him that by imposing these rules on the name of the God like," One should not practice Abortion ", aren't we curbing the free will to which everyone on the world is entitled . He thought for a while and said every one is corruptible.

How corruptible can a man get? Has the corruptibility reached a threshold wherein a man is willing to trade his free will to the rules imposed by some hypothetical body.

Every religion comes with its own set of rules.I haven't myself read about different religions. Okay , I was lazy about it but I am glad that I did not entangle myself in something which makes no sense to me at this age.I understand that if there are no rules at all there will be no order and it may lead to a chaos but at the same time I am more willing to follow these rules if I am given a logical reasoning for not following them and the harmful consequences rather than using the cover of God .

God will be unhappy if you don't follow this and you will face the wrath of his anger in hell. God wants you to do this and that.How can someone still expect me to fall for this.

My lab mate explained to me about the christianity and he brutally attacked the Islam Religion.I was so glad that I was not like him and that I was also not like most of the people who spend most of their time fighting under the name of Religion. I don't follow any religion as such, rather I am the most ignorant person when you want to discuss something about religion.

How difficult is it to ,"Live and Let Live"..

I do believe in the existence of the souce for the entire creation of universe as I fail to understand how even a simple cell which is the most complicated organism and the orderly storage of information came out of nothing or to put in better words was a product of a random collision.If you understand the complexity of the functions of a simple cell you can not help stop marvelling at it. Everything fits so well as if it was designed by a builder or if it was a programmed code. Are the buildings that we see around a result of a random process?
