GOD--RELIGION--??

Who is god?
Why do we worship him?
These are the questions that arise in my mind when I think of god.
Many a times I see people depending on the so called 'god' for almost all the things.
For example,students generally offer prayers after they complete their exams in order to get good scores in their exams.But will these prayers really change what they have written in their answer scripts???
The answer is "no".
It is only to satiate their hunger to get good marks.Man has created a virtual entity called GOD
whom he can talk to, request and pray to get his things done.The concept of god has to come to existance only from the latent fear he has within.All that which can save him from anything is personified to an entity GOD.
When god itself is virtual why does massacres,crusades,riots take place under his name.
Why does the discrimination between various religions come into picture???
We always tend to find the differences between religions.But did we ever try to find some of the similarities between various religions??? Did we ever try to find out if there are any clues in our holy books viz. Bhagawadgita,Quran,Bible etc. which can link all the religions??
Let us take the religions of Christianity and Hinduism into context
According to the gospel of Mathew in Bible it is said that King Herod, who was the evil ruler during the birth of Jesus, learns from the "Wise men from the east" that the ruler for the jews was born which was indicated by the rise of a star in the skies.
He then decides to kill all the children who were born during that period.
The same kind of events also happened in the life of lord Krishna during his infancy.
King Kamsa learns from saint Narada that his nephew will put an end to his rule.
He then decides to kill all the children of the age of Krishna.
Also the idol which muslims worship is in the form of linga which is the idol of Lord Shiva.
Quran itself has the oracle which says that jesus is one of the prophets.
There are many similarities as such in all the religions and all the religions are medium for PEACE, TRANQUILITY and courage to suppress one's fears.
Thus no religion is greater, no god is superior.
It is all in the way people relate their innate feelings with the ONE.
But in the present day scenario violance is aggravated in the name of religion.
People are fighting for the superiority of the religion.
The solution for this is nothing but RESPECT. People can live in harmony by only respecting others feelings and emotions.
When will this happen??
Let god speak.[After all I believe in GOD]

























Where does religion come from??
Is it having any root cause??
It is only in the mind of man to interpret what it is.
