Here's something to think 'bout
Wednesday, November 20, 2002 by @shu | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hi.
I am a Hindu and we believe in the cycle of life, that the soul is eternal and keeps getting sent to this world in different world until it attains Nirvana or oneness with its Creator.
I know not many people believe this, but if you did and if you were offered a choice, which form would you take up in the next life (other than human) and why?
Please specify the animal or bird or whatever (like a horse or a peacock instead of saying an animal or a bird)

That's basic human nature. When times are good, people are too preoccupied to hoard more: their greed shadows their beliefs. They tend to look towards people that have more than them.
In hard times, on the other hand, people look all around them and see others far worse off and consider themselves blessed. The fog of greed is lifted and they can look into the distance and see the Almighty looking out for them: religion flourishes.
Moral: always look at people who have less than what you have and reduce your wants...

I don't think religion is necessary to be happy. In fact I've seen religion make people miserable.

maybe it happens when people treat religion AS their life and not as a guide on leading their life..

You making a point there slowneasy!
But here is "something else to think about"
No offence to anyone with a religion!
Imagine that there is NO GOD.
The world is created by "the big blast".
Can you imagine how all of these people, (we are talking about miljards of people here) , all these people beliefse in something that dasn't exist.
They pray 1/5 of the day, and there is no god.
Think about that.
Another amusing anekdote:
What if some day a alien space craft lands to earth.
The whole catolic story of the creation of the human is pretty inrelevant then, cause who created the "aliens" ?
But here again and again, no offence.
