Freedom of Religion

 

The idea of personal belief and individual freedom in matters of religion is a fundamental aspect of many modern societies that uphold principles of personal autonomy and freedom of thought. The notion that religion is a deeply personal and private matter is often rooted in the idea that individuals should have the freedom to explore and practice their own beliefs without external coercion or imposition.

In a pluralistic society that values diversity of thought and belief, it is important to respect and uphold the rights of individuals to hold their own religious beliefs without interference or pressure from others. This includes the right to choose one's own faith, to practice it in a way that is meaningful to the individual, and to change or evolve those beliefs over time.

Imposing religious beliefs on others can lead to coercion, discrimination, and infringement of personal freedoms. It can also undermine the rich tapestry of beliefs and practices that exist in diverse societies, limiting the opportunities for dialogue, understanding, and mutual respect among different religious communities.

Ultimately, the freedom to practice one's religion is a fundamental human right that should be protected and respected. It is important for individuals to be able to explore their own beliefs, seek their own spiritual path, and engage in religious practices without fear of persecution or imposition from others. Respecting the personal nature of religion and allowing individuals the space to navigate their own spiritual journey is crucial for fostering a society that values diversity, tolerance, and respect for all.

CONSCIOUSNESS

In the simplest explanation, Consciousness is awareness of internal or external existence . We have made a   great deal of progress   in understanding brain activity, and how it contributes to our  behaviou r but conventional science aren ’ t able to explain consciousness. IF MIND IS MATTER...,there was an approach rooted by the philosopher Bertrand Russell   Bertrand Russell   and the scientist   Arthur Eddington  in 1920 ’ s .  I t turns out that physics is confined from  telling us about the   behaviour   of matter . M atter has mass and charge, properties which are entirely characteri z ed in terms of behaviour , attraction, repulsion and resistance to acceleration ,..correct? Apparently p hysics tells us nothing about what philosophers like to call “ the intrinsic nature of matter ” , how matter is in and of itself. It turns out, then, that there is a huge hole in our scientific world view where physics leaves us completely in ...

THE BATH OF DEATH

THE BATH OF DEATH or what is also known as 'Senicide'. A common practice in India till to date especially in villages. Many questioned how is this cruel compared to euthanasia? Who do we blame? Can education alone solve the social issue?  What sickens me more is, they justify this sinful act saying it is the will of God. It has become a lucrative business in India.  Well, read on what exactly is done to elders by their own children who look at them as burden.  The body is massaged with coconut oil, castor and sesame oils, usually at dawn. After this, the person is given a cold bath and put to bed. The body temperature soon dips, often to a lethal extent. After 15 minutes, the person is made to drink a few glasses of tender coconut water and a glass of milk. This causes renal failure. In a day or two, the person catches a fever and dies. If the oil and coconut water failed, the person would be given a glass of mud mixed with water or a bun which will be forced down their t...

THE MISFIT - Part 1

So, what is "normal,”? It’s basically whatever society considers acceptable based on their beliefs and the standards they've set. But does that really make sense? And where does our right to be ourselves fit into all of that? And then there's homosexuality - do people just wake up one day and decide to be gay? How do we wrap our heads around this? There isn't some magic gene that determines someone's sexual orientation. Your DNA can't tell if you're gay or straight. It's not just about biology, psychology, or life experiences - sexuality isn't a conscious choice you make, it's just a part of who you are. No one really knows for sure what causes someone to be gay, just like how you know you're straight. Some people still believe being gay is a choice, often pointing to religious reasons, but that's not entirely accurate. Old prejudices and fears play a big role here. Even if we acknowledge that sexuality exists on a spectrum, many sti...
