Scandalising, sensationalising, disturbing and alarming are the kind of words which determine the level of interest of humans into any matter. If humans need to gather support and create a favourable shift in acceptance for themselves, the easiest trick since ages is to evolve myths that relates to everyone but is beyond personal imagination. It also is widely established that homosapiens won over the rest of homo species because of their singular ability to generate communication even at the cost of having a major chunk of it as gossip. We created our own set of myths and made efforts to relate all of them to match the exact occurrences of the natural events to make it more believable. Every mythological story revolves around some or the other natural occurrence that happened or was led to, because of the suitability of that particular story.

It is not far from the understanding that we have interpreted and manipulated what we deem soothing to our emotions as the guiding principle for our religious beliefs. The ones who wielded strength and influence then, could bring alive the stories and restrictions which would benefit certain sections of societies in not being blamed and called out for their entitled actions and behaviour. Why otherwise would we attempt to please Gods with the help of Priest/ Maulana/ Father/ Monk and hope that what they tell us about the nature of almighty is how God should then be pleased. Isn’t it too convenient for most of us that we equate every worldly action as the will of God and create certain parameters about what comprises as the ideal manner to please the God for his benevolence? Why would the ‘creator of all’, be petty to seek minor penance for everything that happens around in the world? Why does offending the one who is offering prayers on our behalf is synonymous to offending the God? It is also a marvel that we don’t believe in questioning, before putting our faith in the unknown. What kind of God is he, if he is non-judgmental and love abundantly? Why does it have to happen only when you cause pain to yourself, in a very defined manner by our forefathers in a religious ceremony, or it has to be one that requires cutting your stomach to fetch resources for organising grand ceremonies as elaborated in the man-made editions of old scriptures? Where do we get the belief that what we have done or performed is the right way of doing it?
