I was born to a Catholic family on 18 January 1981 which also fell on Prophet Muhammad's birthday also known as Maulidur Rasul. Although my parents were Catholics in their early life, they converted to Hinduism. One may ask why? Hinduism and Buddhism are the only 2 religions that don't fight nor condemn one another nor others. Hinduism accepts all religion as one. I agree. Why? We all belong to the same planet earth. Our looks may be different like the birds in the sky but our blood is still the same.
While we are not anti-Christs and do believe in Him, Christianity in today's world has lost its meaning with several denominations and each carrying out their own version on the Word of God. Not forgetting the different versions of the bible. The Bible itself has been edited in different languages and versions e.g. King James being the oldest to New International Version. Not forgetting the fact that the story of Jesus between the age of 12 and 30 is unknown. So what became of Him? Why was this left out? Some said it was because He lead a normal life. Why was it left out of the Bible? How do you prove that He lead a normal life and the Bible was not changed? So how do you prove of someone's existence if you do not record His autobiography in real-time? This is why, Islam believes Jesus was not crucified on the Cross but someone else was. So how are you going to prove it? By just saying the Bible says so alone is not enough. The Bible has gone through many versions to the level a book on Levi is missing. Why? Why should the Bible be edited? Why tamper with the Word of God? Who are we to edit?
People have asked me since I was born on 12 Rabiulawal 1400 Hijrah which is also the Prophet Muhammad's birthday, why don't I embrace Islam. My reply to them was just because I don't embrace Islam doesn't mean I don't have respect for it. I respect the religion in my own way but my thoughts on the way of life are different from its teachings. Further, when I asked my Muslim friends if they can convert to Christianity if they were born on 25 December, their answer was NO. I questioned them if that's the case, why should I convert just because of their auspicious date?
Why are we fighting over whose religion is right? Don't all religions teach us to do good? Where did it ever state in any of the Holy Scriptures that other religions are fake or wrong? What does it mean by non-believers? Does it refer to the non-believer of that religion or non-believer of God? How sure are you of heaven and hell? Like I said above, saying that the Bible or whatever Holy Scripture you say that says only their religion is the right path alone is not enough. Every religion says that so if I create my own religion and say that, how do I make people believe for sure? All books say the same so how can I prove that the other Holy Scriptures are wrong? Quoting verses from them saying where Jesus or the Prophets said only their way is the correct way alone is not enough. How do you counter the other religious scriptures proving them wrong?
Think about it.
