Quote by John Calvin

"Man's mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition; so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain. "


Many people.. be it in the rural parts of our country or the flashy cities believe in a superstition that is; a sack full of rice will be spoilt when touched by women in periods! it will also get spoilt if touched by women after having sex...


The so called living God's, let me not name them.. promote false beliefs.. Lack of authentic religious education, especially belief in d concept of anthropomorphism prevails in our land..
There are tons and tons of problems faced by the population, i.e the common man of our country, especially females..an example is...In several rural families, the females face nutritional discrimination within the family, and are anemic and malnourished...The maternal mortality in India is the second highest in the world.Only 42% of births in the country are supervised by health professionals. Most women deliver with help from women in the family who often lack the skills and resources to save the mother's life if it is in danger. According to UNDP Human Development Report (1997), 88% of pregnant women (age 15-49) were found to be suffering from anemia.... why don't these God men and certain news channels help solving these issues...??? but rather promote themselves and brain wash the illiterate crowds of our land..

Religion, Superstition and Magic


The attempt of the atheists to destroy religion is ridiculous. They assume that religion and superstition are synonymous. They are actually opposites. They likewise assume that religion and science are opposites. Actually, religion and science are strikingly similar because they are both attempts however imperfect to help man understand the world around him.




According to the Oxford Dictionary

Meaning of the word Magic:
1. The power of apparently influencing events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.
2.Mysterious tricks, such as making things disappear and reappear, performed as entertainment.

2. A widely held but irrational belief in supernatural influences, especially as leading to good or bad luck, or a practice based on such a belief.

1.The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power , especially a personal God or gods.
2.A pursuit or interest followed with great devotion.
