All scriptures are imagination of human beings which can be
proved by looking at the main theme they have all come out with:
a) Eternal life in heaven
or in hell on the basis of just one birth which means even premature death of
children, or
b) Eternal merging with
God.
Both these concepts make no sense at all. Regarding the first
option, what Bernard Shaw said is very true: “Nobody could stand an eternity of
Heaven.”
Regarding the second option, we can ask: If we come here on to earth to purify ourselves through many births as some religions teach and then to be merged with God, why such a need arose in the first place when we were in God who is the source of all purity. That means second option also not logical.
Each one has to find himself the purpose of life as we are able
to bounce back to the now [being in the now itself is like being in heaven], to
introspect, to discriminate essence from details, to judge what is beneficial from
what is wasteful, to cooperate and to adjust. For example, look at the sayings
of Lao Tzu—what a profound wisdom which many religious leaders may have been
influenced by. How did he get it? By himself. If he could discern truth
thousands of years before, anyone can also do so at anytime, anywhere if he
wants to.
