We live in a nice funny little hypocritical tailor-stitched world. If we feel any uncomfortability, we make alterations as and when needed. It applies for the rules also that we create and bend. And this habit is so deep inbibed in us that even God is not spared. I still have questions about the sole existence of God, but yeah I am not an atheist or a devout theist.
Any ways coming to the point, this is about God's name being dragged with our food habits.
Someone said to me, "Oh today is Ganesh Chaturthi, you should not eat this".
Ok. When asked about, why so, he says, "It's a sin".
I say, then what about the day when there's no such occasion or any similar event associated...!!!
The person clealy states, "Its fine on other days. You can have what ever you like on any other day. It's no problem".
Now here arrives the custom alterations.. The sole notion of existence of God, then appears as if it was created for one's own good and benefit.
Now, this is one such event. We have such plenty around us now. Say for example, you belong to a certain state.. Oh then you will be saved from disastrous natural calamity, and if you are not, then you will be left on mercy of God.
One more, Oh you belong to certain caste, you are entitled for so and so benefit.. and if you are not, God is their for you who to take care and upliftment.
It is a pity that such events still occur in a well educated society. Not to brag or defame anybody, but its a question on our thoughts, beliefs and actions.
