Why shut down places of worship?<\/p>\n
From Tempo<\/p>\n
It is proving hard for people to appreciate difference, as is
\nclearly shown in the recent closing of places of worship in the
\ncountry. When truth is believed to belong to a single group,
\nempathy is gone, and any different way of praising God is branded
\nheresy.<\/p>\n
This is the typical thought of a group trying to guess the
\nCreator's conception by applying its very limited human capacity.
\nThe places of worship of other religions are therefore considered
\na public nuisance to the majority of believers.<\/p>\n
The question is whether there is any feeling of totality when
\ncommunicating with God. Why should the determination to perform
\nreligious duties be defeated by the fear of one's surrounding
\nenvironment? Individuals already set on worshiping God will
\nremain unaffected by external conditions.<\/p>\n
When religious duties are executed with prejudice, fear and
\nanimosity, it is not surprising to see certain people praising
\nGod while at the same time abusing their fellow human beings.<\/p>\n
