THE GREAT INNER STRUGGLE

THE GREAT INNER STRUGGLE 

How can a religion that does not lay stress on absolute chastity as foundational principle and as exemplified in life by its founder ever expect its adherents to arrive at inner purification?

Chastity is the bedrock of religion and in a faith that expressly violates it on all counts and with divine sanction, within its fold from the general human perspective and far more beyond it where there is free allowance of indiscriminate violation of the female form obtained by force of the active arm, to talk of moral uplift by inner struggle becomes a mockery, a travesty of truth, an outright hypocrisy and proof of perversion of principle. Hence, high-sounding terminology in lingua apart, there is hardly anything substantial to this religion in moral or spiritual terms and one must be discerning when apologists for it plead pious principles which in practice assume a different colour, though.

Deception cannot be deemed spiritual and, yet, this creed copiously, and again with divine sanction, practises it. Hence, sifting the grain from the chaff becomes an arduous task in common conversation with adherents of the faith. One must go to source scripture to comprehend motives and motivations of this faith that aims at global domination.

So far as the element of inner struggle goes, it seems it is but the preparation for outer struggle with the disbeliever and his conquest at any cost. May this Almighty fail in this toxic transformation of human society, thereby giving the lie to this epithet of omnipotence ascribed to Him!
