For God's Sake!

Thus went the popular joke - why is god happy when a girl gets molested- because she cries 'let me go for God's sake'. Pathetic taste but essentially revealing the contemptuos humour towards the unseen, unheard person (if one is allowed to call him/her/it so) who is responsible for the most number of unnatural deaths (read murder) in the history of mankind.

Yes that's true. Religion has been the most frequent source of friction in the human history, much more than any other motive. From politics to festival it has invaded every sphere of our life. It has defined the pivotal aspects of our cultures, influnced our behavioral patterns, shaped our social identity And yet it continues to thrive. By the sheer volume of the economics associated with it, it qualifies as one of the largest business sector around the globe, if not at par with defence then certainly with retail.

Yet the ridiculous point is no other human activity has exposure of such magnitude without its central principle even remotely closed to being qualified. No one knows whether he/she/it exists or not, and none has been able to prove unequivocally his/her/its absence too. So does that mean we come back to square one again ? Guess so. I dont know further. If you do please add on from here !
