Niketan just said hugest form of slavery is religion in the live feed to delnaaz and sapna.He goes on to say that it's a controversial statement and hope it doesn't get airted.
What a poor statement

3) Some on their own commented on religion as form of slavery as if this was some sort of debate that was started. I commented on his behavior of giving us his gayans before doing some basics. When people probed I explained why I was irritated by this idiot.

4) In every topic there are many comments that are not related to the topic and I seem to have missed this scruitny there.

I am not that insecure about my faith that I will mind stupid comments made by someone who I considered an idiot. It does not affect me 1 bit. I am verry happy with my beliefs. lol.

Hope people will move on.

Yeah, it's not DM, that's why I just joked around, no need to explain things. 😆 You commented on the guy, I commented on why you commented on the guy and so on. 😛

Thank You sir. I too was joking around however it seems we DM members can come out of DM but this DM does not come out of us.

I actually like having DM in me. I prefer to debate and discuss than just make silly comments. Not that I don't indulge once in a while.

To put Niketan's statements in perspective, you are a slave when some other person, group or entity controls your life and decisions rather than your own free will and conscience. A person could become enslaved to friends, family, school, work, country or anything under the sun when they give up their sovereignty. None of these things are meant to be enslaving. It depends on whether people retain the capacity to think and act for themselves.

To give a crude example. We don't know everything, so we often need directions, help or guidance. When we travel, we may look at a map or a GPS. But the map or GPS is not perfect. It is built and distributed by humans. Sometimes it might send you to a dead end, turn in the wrong lane, send you on a bad, bumpy road, even drive off a cliff in extreme cases. Luckily we have our intellect and discretion. We are not stupid to drive of cliffs. If we find ourselves lost or feel that the GPS is outdated or misguiding us, we stop, look at alternate sources and ask for better directions. We rely on our intellect to think and act in the right way.

Similarly, we don't know everything in life. We often need directions, help or guidance. Religion is one option people turn to for guidance. But religion is also not perfect. It is preached and promoted by humans. Sometimes it does give messages that are wrong, outdated, unethical and in extreme cases preaches death and destruction. Unfortunately for many people intellect or discretion does not come into play. The view religion as infallible and would rather drive off cliffs than express doubt. Rather than rely on our intellect, take pause and regroup if things are awry religious people get offended and angry if someone says religion is wrong.

If you know when your GPS system/religion is wrong/outdated and can rely on your intelligence to make right decisions, then you are not a slave. If you feel your GPS system/religion is perfect and get mortally offended when someone says it is outdated or has glitches, then you are a slave.
