That’s so true. Very well put: We inquire, research, which is how we continue to learn and grow.

if u understand Sanatan Dharma, u’ll realize that it not only allows u to question but promotes questioning for the people who wants to apply their brain & devote time to enquire. When Bhagwan Sri Krishna started telling, Arjun was having lots of questions. It became 18 chapters of Gita. Its not as if Arjun started the fight since Krishna tells/commands him. And Krishna was God himself & not messenger of God.
For people who don’t have time or knowledge to enquire, they can take the path of Bhakti Yog.

That’s one of the basic difference between Sanatan Dharma & any Abrahamic Religion lime Muslim & Christianity where u r not supposed to question but only follow the one book & person.
That’s why Sanatan Dharma is more like science where u r supposed to enquire & research….not just believe.

A very pertinent question Maria ji. Almost existential for both – muslims and non muslims alike. For muslims, once they start questioning the basic renets, Islam as we know it today will become unrecognizable. For non muslims because it will permit them to focus on life and less on physical protection alone!

Very basic but thought provoking point brought out.
I personally see hope only in the fact that scores of Muslims are turning agnostic or athiests. Many such ex Muslims do find it challenging to openly announce this for obvious reasons and as a result keep getting counted as believers. Once their numbers attain the critical mass, it will be very difficult for Muslims to stop them. Once that happens there is a chance of reforms in Islam.
As of now Islam does appear in a state of crisis.

Kudos to Maria Wirth for her post

I think it all boils down to the difference between belief and blind belief. Even as a proud Hindu, I question the beliefs of my religion. Not because it allows me to do so, but because I wish to get to the root of things before I believe in the belief. Perhaps, that’s the foundation of my way of life. And I purposely say “way of life.” Doesn’t matter what I do, so long as I question the basics, I keep learning. And, that’s that. 🙂 Thank you, Maria ji, for yet another wonderful post.

It is not the job of a lonely lion. Join hands with others. This menace is required to be fought collectively on the international level. Very few are aware of what kind of danger it poses. We have first-hand experience.
