Is God Doing His Job?
No religion is perfect. It won’t be wrong to say that the imperfect religions have done more harm than good to humanity. Man is killing man for sheer religious supremacy
By Mukesh Sharma
Anything which is beyond the comprehension of human mind, is
considered as the work of God; an act of God. Where logic ends, God emerges.
That is why the faithful of different faiths believe: God is omnipotent. God is
omniscient. God is omnipresent. But the moron mind of this blogger doubts the veracity
of such lofty statements, particularly, when one looks around and sees the
mindless killings, massacres and the atrocities committed by man on man across the world. No
need to go beyond India. What eye doesn’t see, heart doesn’t grieve. Look at
the recent brutal butchering of a happy family of three – Bondhu Gopal 35, his 8 month pregnant wife 30 and their 8 year
old minor son, in Murshidabad, a
muslim majority locality in West Bengal. The pics of hacked dead bodies which are
doing rounds on social media, send chill down the spine, and are more macabre
than the scene of Hollywood horror movie. It is not difficult to understand
that the split of second before death each hapless victim must have thought of
God; must have made last ditch effort; must have hoped for a miracle; must have
squirmed like an unfortunate animal slaughtered by the butcher. But
nobody turned up, no help arrived from any quarter. A pertinent question arises
in the mind of poor common man: Is God doing his job?

| Hapless Victim of Religion |
The severed head with open lifeless eyes just hinging on
torso, lying on the ground with blood splattered all over, and deep cuts on the
body of the deceased are the tell-tale sign of ghastly battle for life more
repulsive than the hunt by animals which kill their prey for food. The two
legged animal so-called man is the most ferocious, for, he can kill another man
just for his ego, jealousy, greed, libido or religion. Animals can be trusted
but not a man. After axing the man of the family, the killer must have turned
to the woman. Though she was 8 months pregnant and was in the bed, the killers
opened her neck with no mercy before she
could move, and left her lying in the pool of blood on the bed itself. After that,
the killers must have turned to the
innocent 8 year old child who had witnessed the killing of its parent with stupor,
and the poor child was also done to death by slitting the throat. The cime
scene shows that the killers have put to shame even the most heartless and horrific Mongol emperor Changez Khan.
What aches the heart
of this blogger is the selective
attitude and response of so-called ‘intellectuals’ who raise hell at the drop of the hat; return awards; hold candal march; and write letters to PM only for a particular
community. It is these self-styled custodians of
society who sow the seed of schism for their selfish ends.
It is said that the deceased Bondhu Gopal was an active
member of RSS. It is alleged that he was an eyesore to a particular community, which
is in majority in Murshidabad. However, the local police denies any political or
religious angle behind the gruesome killings. Whatever, may be the reason, the
three innocent lives have been put to death in a country that has government,
police, and judiciary by the fearless killers who are still at large. Barring
the non entity, no ‘big’ netas has come forward to make strong statement. As
always, netas are overbusy in their ‘political game'. To netas, people are just
a scrap or trash after the date of election. A twitteriti rightly says:
“Congress makes government on the dead bodies of its leader, and BJP on
the dead bodies of its workers.”
M.K. Gandhi says: “No religion is perfect.” It won’t
be wrong to say that the imperfect religions have done more harm than good to
humanity. Man is killing man for sheer religious supremacy. Self-styled
religious leaders are misguiding the poor populace. The weak are easy target of
their religious leaders. Hope is the staple diet of the weak. And the God is
the best source of hope as propounded by fables, parables and mythological
stories. Surprisingly enough, the brainwashed people want to die in the service
of their God. All the religion believe God is the creator of this universe; God
is the father of this world; all are equal in the sight of God; God takes care of his children. If it is so, is God doing
his job?
