as somebody rightly said'religion is the opium of the masses'..which is evident here on this thread..In the end all religions are man made..Just different ways of revering a higher power..thats at the basis of every religious belief..now whether one feels like revering that higher power by adhering strictly to a set of do's and dont's(like in islam)..or by observing rituals and pooja's like in hinduism/buddhism etc..why should it matter..to beleive that your entry into paradise/heaven is only by following a certain religion is going over the top..cos in the end its your deeds in this life that should actually matter(if god is actually shortlisting)..forget bout the afterlife..what matters is that we dont hurt ourselves by fighting/killing over what is the right way..unfortunately lots of ppl follow without questioning their religions..thats the actual problem..
