A dear friend of mine from Pakistan posted: "old time religion...karen armstrong says religion is myth...another says religion is flexible with epochs accordingly... i don't get it...how can flex belief"
My response: Religion is acceptance...acceptance of the fact that there will be people of many kinds... and only kindness and love can bring us all together...make us stay together, irrespective of our beliefs or differences in beliefs. The only platform on which any and all religions stand is that we are all human beings, we are all one, the pain which we experience when our finger is cut is the same...blood oozes out in the same way... and so all of us should be treated equally... without bias...without prejudice...Giving a different name to our beliefs... doesnt make us any different! Religion with a name that includes and excludes people is NO religion at all!
