No, we are not atheists and neither do we want to move to Pakistan.

Cons, rapes, murders, harassment, slavery.. What more do we need to witness before we understand that sometimes the faith is not laid in the right hands?

The enchant you. But do you lose your brain in that?

We all know how god men work. They will tell you incidents from your favorite epics or deities and indulge you in such beautiful story telling, including dances and songs that will not only enchant you but leave you hooked. The stories from the mythology are so interesting that you keep wandering in the same era and believe that the god men is your only way to salvation.

Why dear why? Our epics have been written and being passed on from generation to generation so that everyone can read them and absorb the goodness and ward off the evil. So why there is a need for someone to come and tell us the same? Even if you consider that this helps in mass teachings, learn from the epics, take the lessons from them. Do not just make anyone your guru and start worshiping them to no end. Their photos, idols, mantras, aartis is what irritate further. He is just a simple human being just like us. Mere mortal. Just a bit well read and a good salesman. yes, you may abuse us, call us names but isn't he doing the same? Ain't he taking donations and money and gifts in the name of god and using for his own sake? Or else how do you explain those huge mansions, building, lavish cars and luxurious lifestyle?

And if hypnotisinf you is not enough, they make you sheer puppets!

If getting yourself worshiped is not enough, they will make you do extreme 'solutions' that will either make you rich, problem free, rich again, fair, get your marriage fixed, rich once more, give you babies, heal you and your parents and what not crap! And you, worst of all, believe in it and follow the same. We have seen women holding black purses in front of TV sets so that some 'baba' will throw blessings for doing well in life, someone donating cars to their 'guru' so that it will bring peace to them, traveling miles and miles to pay visit to a temple while the real gods- their parents lie in old age homes, they cut parts from their salary to pay donation to a certain fraudulent 'maa' and ignoring little children wandering naked and hungry on roads in scorching heat.

Have our mythological books and teachings made us this paralyzed?

The deceive, they rape, they murder and yet they are gods? WHat low you are up to?

If you seriously believe one person who lies and beat, thrash and ignore the plea of hundreds of women who say that he has raped them, then you definitely have your faith in the wrong place. You are no more than a stupid person who has been blinded by ignorance and governed by someone else.

Do not be fooled. Use your brain. If these are real god men who want the benefit of humanity, they should speak about mankind, humility, kindness and love. Not hatred, not communal violence, not against any other religion, other sex or the poor. There is no way that a good soul can say any wrong words about someone who has not hurt him.

People have seen these gurus rise to power, get blinded by the sheer idiocy and trust enough to get lamer. There are incidents where the 'maas' were seen dancing shamelessly, gurus who raped and were put behind bars, 'saadhus' who gave baseless remarks for the rape of women, citing the reasons from dressing to chowmein, the ones who teach art of life and yet fraud the government, the 'babas' who murder and get away and we can go on and on.

We need to end this. Do not we?

It is better to stick to our epics and holy books whose teaching show us the path rather than trusting these impostors who want nothing but money and in more derogatory aspect- your body. Do not let them thrive on you. These are parasites that continue to live and suck your intelligence and thinking capacity.

Get smart. You have a brain, you have a heart. Put them to use wisely. Remove the blindfold and see the world in reality with clarity of thoughts. By worshiping such people and supporting them you are only making the crime more powerful.

Help your parents, care for your spouse and love your children. This is your duty which will be paid by karma. If there is something that can change your destiny, it is your karma. Do your work with all your heart. That is the key to happiness and salvation.

And for these spineless pretenders, they are worthless. Keep away!
