We are, what you feel, are we not?

I have been Mulling.
Over Religion.
...and religious zealotry as seen in recent times.
Through perpetrated crimes.
Witnessed globally in these past 20 plus years.

Wondering why did God himself not create religion?
To begin with!
My be, because he did not know how to make and use a gun.
Man could with times.
He did too.
Progress: from the forbidden-apple-plucking arm,in the garden of Eden, to the arm toting gun(s).
Arms.
To Harm.
Today.


Religion...
Why did he leave that/it to us?
To create.
To abate.
To Hate.

Or,if God did not...on purpose!
Is/was there a grand plan of his,that is yet to unfold,
For us to learn and grow...even further?
From farther to further?

Above religion?

These thoughts have made me kind of conclude/arrive at one conclusion for sure, that God surely created.
Feelings.

Yes, he created feelings and allowed it/them to morph/triumph and instill within us love,joy,hate,anger,passion,compassion,etc.

With time, feelings clung together and got to form what we love and cherish today...religion.
Feelings gave birth to religion(s)...yes, and why not?

But why?
There I was... mulling again why would God plan it out like this.
Back to square one.

That lead me to my own feelings
As on date and in the past.

I am, what my feelings make me, and what others close to me and around me, make me.
Make me make and do.
Things and Stuff.
Sweet and Gruff.
My circumstances too.
My choices too
My voice and others' voices too.

Yours too.
Theirs too.
Ours too.
Everyone's too.

So much is thrown at us...and our feelings get to happen.
They seep, sap, and once in a while, zap too.
As a result in disgust we get to slap... or get slapped?
Yes, why not...That too.
But for feelings... all of the above would not have been possible.
Period.

Hence, feelings lead/led to religion was my quick shot,conclusion.

Our feelings not only effect us they effect people around us, too.
Our feelings within us,around us, make us active,reactive,pro-active,inactive,selective,protective,elective,defective and destructive too.
Feelings make or mar us.
We were effected in the past as an individual to begin with, and subsequently en-masse too, ultimately, for clout value.
We get affected as individuals and as groups day in and day out.
Afflicted.
Inflicted.
To begin with.
To end with.


Feelings, next, effect the people around us...that get to/do surround us.
Hound us.
Pound us... our thoughts.
Into mounds.
Mounds that get collectively compounded.
Then they get to, get bought, too.
For a few pounds.
Farthings, Shillings.
Through money, another man made bane!
A worthless commodity minus any feeling.


Once that's done, we are unable to retrace our steps...for whatever reasons.
Even if we do, we hurt our own feelings or those of others, who are/were involved too, in that/those transaction(s).
Makes us feel even more worse.
What a curse.
As we abhor losses.
Monetary ones.
Money wise speaking.

We love to amass,money,though.
Once done it feels good...though amassed money is like manure.
It stinks when mounded in some corner.
It creates worms and compost just like manure does.
Its worthless till it is scattered.
On fields...when it gets to yield...Gold
In the form of crops...that ring in a feeling of joy.
When harvested.
For us to enjoy and share.
Out of love and care.
To sustain.
Singly and collectively.
Lovingly.
As fruit(s) of labour.

All of this does NOT get to happen, if the feelings we get generate, are negative in nature.
If we haven sown using our own arms and laboured for the fruit.
But want to get the fruits of labour.
Through might.
As with manured money power, in modern times,might is invariably right!
Unleashed...through compounded and armed to the teeth, feelings.
Leading to robbery and stealing.
Ultimately...to killing.

These feelings get/got compounded very quickly...dont know why!
They gate shared quickly.
Ensnaring us.
Non is spared here...when it gets progressed exponentially, like wild fire.
Fanned by greed.


On the other hand what about positive feelings, of love and joy?
Once they happen they get to happen slow and low.
They are short lived.
Shared too...but sparingly.
Carefully only when the money component, is missing

Happen.
Not as glaringly as the former ones.
Not as vehemently as the negative ones.
Not as openly as the destructive ones; which invariably break into the open with a mighty blast.
Even if they get/are suppressed for some time.
For monetary values.
As hurting,uncaring,negative feelings get to grow exponentially.
Like congress grass.
To Amass.

Ammas collectively under a shelter called religion.
In the name of God.
Was this is how religion got to emerge?
From negative compounded exponentially grown negative feelings seeking shelter from hurt,hunger,natural calamities,daily needs,lurking danger, in anger?
In the dark ages?
When it did.
Unchronicled.


That was what I was pondering.
Through feelings..compounded and hounded.
Into and through clustered groups of humans, a sense of insecurity..in yesteryear's, when mankind was not as literate as it is,today.
In the so called dark ages?
Then why did it bind the mind and the minds?
To become ultimately... blind?

Remain blind too.
In the most advanced times such as what we are in today?
When the world is supposed to have matured and come off age.
Globalized and Glocalized.
Into a village.
Minus any borders at least virtually,with reduced distances,and increased reach to spread another set of feelings that God loved to create and wanted/still wants us to propagate.... love and joy?
His favorite toys.


So...who/what is stopping us from doing that?
Let us contemplate for a while.
Who else?
The guardians of something that God never created himself.
Religion.
Religious Zealotry.

It's the Mullahs, the Priests and the learned Sages who are now for reasons known best to them,making us imprisoned in cages.
For their own wages.
Resulting in dastardly acts and public rages!
World over.
There is no sign of any four leaf clover.
From these protectors or perpetrators.

Isn't it sarcastic that we are now in the darkest age as is seen/being experienced by man kind.
Thanks to the religious mindsets that get to bind the unfortunate and illiterate mind(s) behind religious blinds?
Minus any feelings?
Only through religious leanings!

But again...where did religion emerge from?
God never created it...he kept away from it.
Deliberately.
As he always new, the outcome would never be love and joy that he wanted/wants us to perpetually enjoy.
Ever.

Love....between the religions,the religious ones themselves, to begin with, and the keepers/guardians of the religion(s) next.
As they would and do use religion as a pretext.
To protest.
To ultimately hurt feelings of brethren born on this very earth out of the same natural act,enacted by God, across all humanity,minus any borders, that man never thought up off, even creating!
But as a natural gift he gets to make,though.
To propagate his lineage,across all longitudes and latitudes.
Across all time zones and climatic regions

Love.

On the very earth that God created.
Not mankind.

Love makes human happen and then grow old,within the religious fold they get caged due to the fact that they are born at a place which by now is governed by a set of humans, caged in that region, by religion.
Grow to grow and hurt feelings through barbaric zealotry acts.
Through unwanted and uncalled for,blood shed.
From one sect to another sect.
How imperfect.

To beget as a debt,singly and compounded.
What a big debt...to God.
Who let us loose into this, his lovely play ground,earth,...with only one feeling.
Love!
That got morphed.
Dwarfed.
Into dividing,biding,chiding,deriding,religions...that grew in times into legions.
Educated and well meaning legions who unfortunately drew borders too
In times earlier to what they are in now.
Creating physical borders.
Leading to debauchery.

Today...
Those very borders are like cages,locking mankind within..to sin.
By bizarre acts, cold blooded killings for a few shillings.
Thrown at the killers by their religious tillers.

The Czars of religion...made by man himself and not by the almighty.
He discarded the very thought...as he had a premonition of what was to come.

Now men think they are Gods.
Of various hues and colors..wealthy,stealthy, un-healthy too.
Unable to discard that very thought.
Instead of that they get to propagate and perpetrate.
As perpetrators did,have done, and will do,too.
Mother-lessly.
Across villages,towns,cities,nations.
Hurting mass feelings.
In the name of religion.
Killing, paltry left innocence.
And in innocent armed with arms.
Not the one that God made.
But the ones that man himself got to make.


Arms armed With Guns...
That made me think again and get to re spell the word religions, as 'reli-guns' meaning the new found religion.

A sum total of Relish+Legions+Guns = "Religuns"
Man made.
Off course!

Bereft of feelings...as man was never made to make feelings.
God made feelings.
Men did not.

Men made Religion alias "Religun."
That gets fired.
And mired...but never tired of blood shed.
Is the colour red indeed so invisible?
Its been shed and shed and shed since the days cane and able?
Its' painful, been felt and dealt with too.
Time and again!
By individuals reeling under religious canter and its hidden ill feelings.
By groups.
By sects.
For land..how ever bland.
In yesteryears.
Through blood shed.
Beginning with Cane and Able
Blood on the hands,ground,wall, on the floor,on the earth, and on the ceilings.
Without any healing.
Only for perpetual stealing of feelings.

Blood as red as ever gets to shed.
Bleeding.
Bled.
Shed...across borders...minus any feelings.

As man could never create feelings...The Almighty could, he did.
Predominantly that of love and joy.
As seen in a white dove.
But that's a flown dove, now.

To religion we decided we would wed.
Wed we did.
So that we could sleep with a gun in our bed.
As wed.
Clutched in our arms.
To dread of being dead.
How splendid.


Now, isn't it time this is to be undone.
The Gun.
As enough is enough.

For:

Under man made religion we bled and will continue to bleed.
Till we get rid of the very seed.
Not sown by God.
In the garden of Eden.
Then.
But by men.
Amen.

That unfortunately should now become the sole aim, to be blamed for, and the one to be weeded out, weed.
Out of a reverse sense of greed.
As a Global need.

That man made arm of harm,called:

"Religun"
alias
Religion.
