Hi fellow members of mylot. Nowadays there seem to be more crimes happening. day by day I heard a lot of crimes from telecommunication mediums such as on Televisions, Newspapers and online via the Internet. As I have observed, some of the crimes' causes are religion differences. I have often wandered why people are arguing with their religions when in fact the aim/goal is the same. All religions worship a God where they truly believe that God is the most Almighty. Let just let an individual to decide what religion he would like to join and put his/her faith unto it. Let just respects one's religion. We can very much possibly practice our religion and respect other religions. Hope I have shared an insight. Happy mylotting.

I don't know if some of the crimes are really based on religious differences. I think that maybe there are some things going on that aren't good and they're just using religion as a scapegoat. There's probably a deeper underlying ulterior motive for the crimes being committed. But as for practicing my religion (I'm catholic), I don't really practice it. I believe in God and in doing good things. But sometimes I feel that the catholic religion is too traditional and too strict for our modern times.

A lot of people claim religion but don't practice it. I'm sort of one of those people. I don't go to church often due to me working nights but I do know the Lord and I give him all the praise. I pray and teach my children about God but I just lack in going to church. I just think people don't put God first in their lives therefore it results in a lot of evil in the world. I think if people learn to put God first and believe and have faith in him then life will be a little smoother.

Religion differences and crimes are happening just because of the fact that most of the people who are doing illegal or inhuman activities are them self are the victim of their religion it self or by birth because one such religion is the religion which ask its followers or pressurize it own follower too much to sacrifice both in terms of physical as well as in terms of moral. where as on the other hand it is not natural to live one's life in such a hardship!!!!!... that one would not believe it by his her ear,and therefore no question of practicing it{just a gimmick to show off(they themselves are the victim of their religion by birth by hard and rigid rules)}.......hence as a result on every such count they break the rules set up by their leaders or what ever it is...... another thing is to be kept in mind is that these religion itself speaks that their religion was brought forward by some messenger of their God.....and hence the regulation rules etc came into play which is not or cannot be practiced by any right minded and balanced human or animal.the conclusion they themselves break their own enacted religion as the first step and on every aspect which then easily gives birth to the crimes and as such,though every religion have its some people doing some crimes but one such religion which is doing the lead role on the face of the earth is the M....m religion. On the other hand it is not possible for the other individuals to live by their side because they are the very people immigrated to some other country from their origin of their religion place and doing/practicing just the opposite of the people those who have given them the shelter in their country..............

For me all religion is good and even those who have no religion could act and live as a good people without discriminating other religion or other people for me is the best attitudes to maintain for peace, and respect produces good things.
