Well this is not a review of any kind of the Movie titled OMG. This are just my views expressed after watching and trying to get influenced by the same. If I have hurt anybody by these views please Forgive and Forget.
The writer has truly expressed what we question every day. Is there a
God? If he is why don't we see him or feel him. Eventually a human relies on
his five senses to perceive things. So If we cant touch, see, smell him where
is he? If we do believe God is there and is everywhere, Even in the smallest
atom to the largest of things then why Do we find ourselves Finding God in
Temples, Masjids, Churches. We can find him in ourselves can't we. I am not
opposed to the Idea of a place where we can connect to God. May be we can
do it in the places mentioned above. We can meditate there and find the
Good (God) in Us.
Another view expressed there is the idea of donations and offerings. Be
it Money, Food or anything. I personally have offered it many a times. In
terms of Flowers or Coconuts, Putting it in the Donations Box. But we are so
engrossed in our own lives
after that we forget about whether it was used properly. If we say a
temple is a meeting destination for people who want to connect to God if that
money we donate is used for the Temple I can understand it. That's some money
we have invested in building up a infrastructure. If they claim to be given to the
helpless do we ensure that it is really given to the helpless. I see a lot
of people giving alms to the needy from the car. I never do that unless I see
that the person is really needy and helpless and can't make money for
himself. Otherwise we are just making that person lazy. He / She will do that
for the rest of his life without doing a cents work. We are no better than
people who make people do these things. Instead better people are the ones
who generate Employment who make these people work.
God made us in his Image. Have we ever heard any God fight with another
God of a Different Religion. Why Do we? There are so many good things we can
take from Different Religions. Christians have such Wonderful silence in their
churches where a person can really think and reflect. Muslims eat from the same
plate in a family which might be to indicate that everybody is family
nobody is left out. Hinduism preaches that a person can attain a level close to
God. Greeks believed God would get more powerful if more people prayed to them.
So actually they were dependent on Man and Man was dependent upon
them to solve their problems which they could not handle. These are but
many examples. All I am trying to say is Why cannot we take good things from
all and try to incorporate them into ourselves to make ourselves a better
person. Since God made us in His image he should be or could be
as adjustable or as forgiving as Man. There are many people who call
God in the Royal Plural. My Dad always used to point out to me that people we
call using the Royal Plurals are not Close to Us. I never addressed God in
the Royal Plural "Aap" after that. I feel God is a friend of
mine. And I am not used to calling my friends "Aap" unless its
in a sarcastic way. Also If God is a friend why do we fear him. Even I do it I
admit. I have always heard this phrase and ignored it "We are God Fearing
People. Not God Loving People." That's is what makes us think that we
can make offering to Gods and appease him to absolve us of our sins.
Also another thing that is said correctly and properly is Never take
away Religion from a Man he will make you his God and establish another. Take
for Example Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. I have immense respect for that man for who
he was. But then people have twisted his teachings in the wrong way. He saw
some bad qualities in Hinduism and so converted to being a Buddhists. People
today do convert to Buddhism but then have his Idol installed into a temple and
worship him. He was just a man who sought to change how people think. Instead
of thinking differently people have adapted to what he said in their own
way.
I know while saying all this I might be considered to be on the verge of
Blasphemy but I feel sometimes and I know another person who shares my view
that God and Religion was made by somebody very smart because he saw that
without them Humanity would descend into Chaos. Simple thing a man who fears
God will think twice about committing a Sin.
Well I do personally believe there is some being be it alien or God like
whatever is written that watches over Us. I also continue to worship Idols just
for my Loved ones because they believe in it. Everybody worships him in different ways. I actually love reading Mythological content. Be it any religion.
God left us here on Earth to
unveil our Destiny which we ourselves are supposed to make. So
do not run to him for help every time. Eventually people realized that
and we also have it as a phrase.
God helps those who helps themselves.
