On politics and religion

The world today is beset with all sorts of problems. Surprisingly it is related to politics based on ethnicity and religion. The human being is so consumed with the idea that one's ethnicity and religion is paramount to other issues like economics, racial integration, health etc... Look at the rot that has crept into society in the name of ethnicity and religion. Wars because of ethnicity and religion. Discrimination because of ethnicity and religion. Inequality in the distribution of wealth due to policies based on ethnicity and religion. Globalisation has led to the migration of human races and with it the dissemination of religious values. No matter how educated a person may be, he may have very strong convictions on human values based on his religion. If one has read books like Chinua Achebe's, 'Things Fall Apart' or Bessie Head's, ' Looking For A Raingod', then one can imagine what it takes to overcome old habits, old thoughts and old philosophies. Here in the Worldwide web I have also come across fanatics disseminating hate philosophies inciting hatred towards other religions, prophesying one's own faith and religion is the only truth and the others are false or satanic. This sad state of affairs is not going to solve problems faced by Man which has to do with Economics, Poverty and Pollution. Everything boils down to these three social conditions but many are now using religion and faith to wipe out a whole community or religion. I hope with the Worldwide web and with the help of peace loving humans , this hate philosophy will be laid to rest and that Man will actually direct his energy to overcome the real problems plaguing mankind
