um in the history of the world a lot of blood has been spilt in the name of religion
and a lot of political conflict has arisen due to religious divisions
so wouldn't the world be a better place if there was just one religion or even no religion at all
he's echoing what every modern youth is actually thinking is echoing this when i go to schools and
they ask the youngsters now here how many are thieves being believed in god how many atheists
mean don't there's no god like these are tokens and how many are acknowledging we have no clue
this thing is so airy fairy we don't know majority now in united kingdom this resource now
majority majority fall into the second camp this is their challenge they say it appears to us
that religions are not a resolution of human condition they are the problem
they are not a solution they are the problem best to snuck them all out snuff them out in fact if
you look at the world today just look at the world today all the conflict you see around the globe
if you look at the depth the deeper aspect is all religiously oriented almost all the conflict
middle east wherever you look always religion seems to be right at the heart of it everywhere
so religions seem to be the real cause of problem the real cause of in a real issue
for humanity why don't we snuff them out try to say one will win over the other means you will
have more bloodshed try and imagine trying to do that two billion christians one billion muslims
and god help the rest of us and they all want to score points saying i am right and you are wrong
and you see this exclusivistic and of ideology that i am right and you are wrong is itself
divides you to a great extent you know how it's divisive he doesn't stop by saying only christian
then within christianity says oh no but then there is the catholic and the protestant oh then there's
a methodist and this and evangeli and the whole thing starts that 190 denomination in christianity
they'll start fighting amongst themselves it's only that because they've got a common enemy
people of other religion they'll become quiet now they're fighting amongst themselves so what is the
resolution should we snuff out religions are there some are there are is there cell by date gone take
them all out think about it look this religion we come from allows us to challenge religion
and see if it is the case this one will work if you feel this become counterworking spit it out
we would say that if you think it's contrary spread it out you see the resolution lies this
if you look at the history of mankind individually when single religions were visible in certain
locality in the certain kind of periods of history they were cohesive that brought about a lot of
philanthropic activity overall they were positive because they're talking about learning to live for
others and helping others and charity they were positive as the world has become a global village
and there are so many conflicting claims to spirituality they don't sit well together
we have friction in the name of religion that's what is becoming visible how will it be resolved
that's what i said in the previous question the only religion look i'm being very arrogant let
me be arrogant once in a while the only religion that offers a reconciliation between different
worldviews about different religions different religious worldviews as well as science oriented
worldview rationally found a science the only religion that makes an attempt not just to say
let's put them together clutter them together they don't feel like nothing fits but doesn't mean just
hold them together be nice to each other mean i don't hit you there it won't work you need to fit
the jigsaw puzzle and produce a bigger picture a much cohesive picture naturally cohese you
and that exercise and that if you like responsibility lies with you
it is your religion that holds that answer of reconciliation can you say reconciliation how
can they be so vastly different they talks are different things like buddhism there is no god to
start with how do you read you can reconcile and in this century two things will happen look i'll
be very honest either this broad idea of hinduism called pluralism there are many ways to relate to
idea of spirit not even call him god either this will become very evident now and used in society
to bring natural cohesion reconciliation or it will be invoked and you will be seeing the glories
of pluralism that is heart of hinduism in days to come after you become more bloodied two options
only you know i tell this to the archbishop of canterbury i say you've got two options either
adopt this hindu idea pluralism now and stop bloodshed or we'll wait the world will become more
bloodied and then you'll be singing the glories of pluralism you've got two choices no third choice
and the third choice is all the religions be snuffed out let the humanists win be open to that
this is the world that we face and you see why you are so crucial probably to understand the depth of
hinduism you are the carriers the ambassador of this broad vision which can bring about natural
goings look we are not here to score points for hinduism we are saying look we have this
use it take it away don't say it's individual take it use it bring reconciliation take it
away you're not selling copyrights yours incorporate it within your system look
when i talk like this to the chaplain of surrey university you know what he said after listening
to me because i really take them to tow i really don't let them off i'm really rough
they said yeah i a 70 percent pluralist i say okay you pass don't worry that's enough for me
i won't rub it in any further this is happening genuinely all around i meet so many christians
who relate to pluralism they say but you know our system the doctrines they have to be pulled apart
because you've been saying exclusivity and you are challenging us you are making us pull out ex
i say if you don't do it somebody else is going to come and thump you let me do a funny story
once i was dealing with some christian history i said look you know why do you send people to our
poor kind of ignorant people in india and try and convert them you're creating rift in our
society you're hurting us harming us why do you want to go and convert evangelize stop it we
could have wrong religion give them something else don't give them religion they've got it
he said yeah he was like nice fellow you know nice cozy fella no jay we are not trying to convert
you're just spreading the good news the language that you are spreading the good news
you know christ is born and christ died for it also okay okay
i said you want to spread the good i'm listening i picked this up from viewers and this lovely stuff
you want to spread the good news yes as you know there is this prophet of
arabia waving his arms frantically saying that he has got the latest edition of news
and you know what they say about news old news is no news so why don't you pick up islam and change
oh j we didn't mean like that but you're talking about news and he's got the latest edition of news
and old news is no news so your bible is out and they're shuddered you see i'm telling them how
exclusivism can never win because if i'm here out to kill or convert there are others who
want to do the same to me if i go out trying to convert others there are others snapping
at my heels to try and convert me at the same time i've left myself open for attack you need
to remove this exclusivist agenda recognize this broad vision of pluralism that's the way out you
