Looking religious versus becoming religious
We should not go back to the times when different religions were established and we should not try to dig out the truth for what purpose the religions had been established. But one thing is very much clear that great people established religions just to give guidance to the man so that he could understand the real meaning of his life, the purpose of his coming on this earth and the religions established codes of conducts for the man. For centuries the great people had been preparing these code of conducts which are known at this stage religious books.
Now a question arises as to whether the man on this earth could adopt those codes of conduct or the man is still standing on the place where he was standing prior to the establishment of these religions. And if we go deep, we shall find this man standing at the place where he was standing prior to the establishment of religions. all these religious books are guides for him, but this man on this earth is just reciting these books and at no stage he is committing himself for the adoption of principles laid down in these books.
If we conduct a survey, people in all the religions are standing on the same place and if we try to find out the people who are committing sins, crimes and misconducts, we shall find that no person could separate himself from the main stream. If we declare on oath and that oath could be true, we shall have to declare that everyone of us has committed so many crimes, so many sins and so many misconducts. None is clean and even those who are trying to show that they are totally religious people, they too are actually standing on the same footing where common people in that religion are standing. If some people could conceal their omissions and commissions, it does not mean that they are religious people.
And today, the whole world has been divided on the basis of religions and every group is trying to establish a distinguished category and for that purpose they are prescribing different ways of meeting each other, they speak different language, they have got different religious places, they have got different religious books, they are establishing different methods of prayers and they are having different styles of living day to day life. Even they have got their own list of eatables. They have allowed their religions to enter in politics and now they have got religious political parties and they are demanding share in administration as per their numbers in the country.
So religions have already divided the people and some countries have been established on the basis of religions and they are trying to administer the country as per laws laid down in the religious books.
Since all the people are not in a position to become religious persons, some people have come forward and they are now controlling the people in those religions. They have got a different style of living and they are telling the people that they are totally religious people and therefore, the people in that religion must obey them and follow them. But we have heard through news papers and other sources of media that these people who are turning totally religious too are committing the same crimes, sins and misconducts. Therefore, we cannot say that the people who look religious are actually religious people and people who do not look religious are not religious people. The people who are looking religious have adopted this lifestyle only to come in the line taking this as a profession, trade, calling and employment and they are collecting money for their livelihood and nothing more. In fact there is no one who is religious and all are committing crimes, sins and misconducts and no religion on earth could set the man right, though much has been said in religious books and this man is just reciting those items time and again.

Cheated Twice on me....
By: Cheryl | 14-10-2008
Boy?s nights out... I found out by accident on a boys night out. Next morning something lured me to his cell phone... Then I read of the messages...of "I love you?,?missing u,? Ur'e my universe" ... I was devasted, immediately confronted him. He denied it all at first in his half-drunk state. Then confessed to seeing this women. She made him feel better and accepted. He said ?I did not understand him anymore and he was at a very low point in his life when he met her. She helped him... I was devastated. He said I don't understand him anymore. We're being married 4 years. Knew each other for ages, 800 guests at our fairy tale wedding. I never knew this would ever happen to me. We?re being through so many obstacles together. Things changed, He was his mum only son (her hubby died, when my hubby was 12). He was us to stay with her. I took a post internationally to make extra money, he followed. We lived in a strange country. He blamed me for removing for his childhood home and mum. Our fight lead to verbally abusive, he would push me, break things and call me bad...bad names... I fell pregnant, then miscarriage. I blamed him for the loss. After a year fell pregnant, and had the most beautiful baby girl. We feel in love with her, she is an absolute angel. It was 14 months now. She is 14 month old, and prettier than ever. I had post pregnancy depression, no one around me noticed. My hubby constantly insisted I wanted attention, during my crying spell. My Mum and Mum-in-law both can to visit for 2 weeks. Our relationship grew worse. His mum comes to visit us and stay for 2-4 months at a time. During that time, communication, privacy, intimacy between us is Zero... One day we got in a huge fight in front of her. I told her everything. He was angry, I confided in her, and vowed to divorce me, for telling her our affairs. I begged for his forgiveness, to save my marriage and my daughter. Then, at his lowest hour, he meet her, she lured him into her web, by friendship. While I spent my days, working full time, after work, changing diapers, preparing meals, studying for a degree, cleaning. He complained about my incompetence in areas constantly. (Apartment dirty, baby not following routine, me falling at my studies) The other lady, made him feel wow. I called her, she said... She knew him; he said our marriage was over. And that he said she was his saving grace helped him in his darkest hour??? I burst in tears, asked her if she loved him, and if he loved her...that they should decide...what they want? I was hurting so much and still am. He said it over; they discussed the affair and felt our daughter needed chance of a family. Then, as day passed we discussed the affair (3 days) after that, we started fighting again...I could no longer trust him. He did not want to talk about it anymore. He said he loves me and want to stay married... I died inside, cried constantly at night, at work, in shower. I never told anyone, not even my parents. Now some days are ok and other is not. I know I need help, I can't trust him and hurt. He blames me for the emotional affair. How can I overcome this? I love my little baby to bits and want to give her a happy home and family. How do I move on? I find myself thinking, of how he texted her ?that he loved her?. He says those are just words...??? It that true. I'm so hurt. I asked him to be honest with his feelings and if he wanted her, then we should end our marriage and be focused on becoming good parents to our little girl. I love him still, after all he has done. But not sure how to more on?? October 12,2008 She?s back in the picture.. I found an email from her, general one to everyone. I got suspicious, threw all my toys out of the cot again?He denied everything again. Then I found pictures on MYSpace.com..Of Him and her hold each other and in love...it?s crazy? My heart stopped, I grasped for breath...My world, my life came crashing down..I could not believe it, it killed me..How could he..??? I was shaking , shiver , confused , sobbing , what to do..?? What to do?my world ended..he was seeing her again all this time, going to places , having coffee, chatting, it hurt very, very badly. I was angry , printed picture and waited for him to return from his flight from home. Was he with her?? Pictures were taken in her bedroom ( what does a man do a women?s bedroom ) H e denied sleeping with her..but then he lied about everything, he lied?.for 6 months..my god , my world was over. I hated him and her for destroying my baby?s life. My angel is so innocent, I hate her for pursuing this affair. How could he ..how could he?? All the trust we have is lost?. I was a fool all this time , a fool . He used me and my daughter. Oh my how do I rebuild our life. Should I give him a chance a chance for my daughter to have a complete family?..Will he change with help?or am I crazy?

By: maya | 13-10-2008
i got into a relation with a guy.When we became much close , he told me that he is a transsexual.He is comfortable and happy in being whatever he is. But i am depressed. He is expecting a lesbian type of sexual relation and when he knew i am not ready, he respects my interest and backed out. Even after knowing his condition, i expected that he will be ready for any minor treatment which can make him a guy.But i do not want to change his individuality for my sake and so i too have to back out. Before i completely give up hope, i want to know if there is anything which i can do about it ,because i became very much mentally close to him . Expecting an answer Maya
