Divine Question

The question of God - in an increasingly emotional way. I think this would me my theme for some time. I just came across an article in WSJ that expressed surprise.

Religion is about connectivity of the society (or reconnect as the Latin re-ligare) and does not have to do primarily with God. The Buddhist monks protesting in Burma does not have any such metaphysical gadget. Yet they are revered throughout the world for their actions and not denounced for their atheism.

Debates about the existence of a form-full “creator-dictator-god” or a “formless-immanent god” is a continuing debate in Hinduism with currently the latter school winning. Theistic schools of Hinduism debated with its atheistic schools and Buddhism/Jainism without the emotion displayed today!

So the question that is asked? Why this debate is supposed to display emotion. Why the existence or rather the lack thereof of God be considered a mere academic discussion. Or better still, an inquest for selection the path of our Spiritual Journey. God is merely a means to the end and not an end in itself!
