Lets discuss issues as to how social system blocks the mind set of peoples like if our muslim brothers go for namaj for 5 times (especially for performing some namajs they must have to be at mosque). do u think this time will be better utlized for living life. no doubt our social religion teaches us the discipline and it allowes us to be in certain framework. on the other hand if u light the kabir's motion toward this: " U can not fix and arrange god to be somewhere especially when u r inner soul is not uncertain to the ethics, there is no meaning to sing poems 10 times when u dont implement any single word of the said poem" . On the other end what Hindu (I m also) brothers do? , Is this great to spend and waste millions of rupees,milk on the god and stooping our pocket to give a single coin top the needy, beggar peoples of our own?

religion shows us a way to live our life morally. goint to temple doesn't matter here, how you behave with fellow human being does.

Religion can create fear, to hold back herbal, and alternative healing remedies, it can create biases and seperation over fear. It can be an impediment itself to the person who is trying to force themselves into the wrong religion. People use religion as an excuse for seperation. It is suppose to used to aid, and help... Why not? If you want to spend money on your God what is wrong with that? Is it wrong to spend on on your children, your pet, your items? If God is whom you love and want to spend money on them. Than there is nothing wrong with that at all. For others money and material is their religion and God... If they choose that life.. that is their choice. - DNatureofDTrain
