So this is one of the books which didn't let me move out very often. I finished this book in 13 hours over 4 days so this is one of my fastest read too.
I saw Tarek on a prime-time debate, and thought of reading this book. I was looking for what Tarek has to say in details because there is rarely any scope of thought, and understanding in such debates.
I started this book, and once I was through the content page I was so engaged that I was just rushing through the whole book. My first impression was that this is going to be like reading a thesis but actually it ended up as an encyclopaedia of truth about the whole set up.
I know that reading a book doesn't make me a subject matter expert but after reading such books (Zealot, No god but god, The god delusion) I realised that religion is the most personal thing, and there should not be anybody who should dictate what to do and what not to do.
Relegion is something which brings the best out of you. It teaches you to love, respect, and gives you courage. A religion which tells you otherwise is definitely taking you to a wrong path, be it any religion. I understand that religion thrives in a community but this adds the complication in pursuing it because many a times rather than becoming a lot of people following a particular way of life, it actually becomes a mob which can be turned towards a lot of things which should be avoided.
Also, religion has to be removed from all the outer world activities like money, law, politics etc. I think current politics is something which thrive on the negativities of a religion when it comes to a mob. People want to believe and trust in something which is beyond human understanding, and this search for that unknown is something which is incorrectly posed as mould while is should be treated as a flowing river.
Follow your religion, and ensure that it spreads love and respect for all. The beauty of life is that we all are different and we should respect these differences, and build positively on this sentiment to have a safe and happy future.
Peace
