Problems unite us, Religion divides us

Hi I am Deepika.

It is true that problems unite us because when problem arise we all come together and fight with the problems. I think first priority should be for humanity because we are humans. When we take birth we are human and we get the name of religion later on.

Religion never divides us because we are living in a society where all people of different religions are are living. We take help when we need and we give help also. So I don't think religion divide us because I have many friends of different religions and all are same for me. We only see the behavior and nature of person, not religion.

It is politics which divide us. Because the politicians use the people for their own benefits. They always see their benefits, not about the country. If they get something by making fights between two religion's people they can do anything. Because of the fight between the political parties they use common people. It makes the politics dirty and also the reason of fighting between religion. They only try to use the emotion of the people for their own purpose.

So I think problem and religion both unite us. It is only the dirty politics which trying to divide people in the name of religion.

Thank you.

Hi Everyone,

Today's topic is Problems unite us, Religion divides us.

In my opinion, the statement problems unite us Religion divides us highlights a very real aspect of human society when people face common challenges like natural disasters health crisis or national emergencies they often come together forgetting the differences in such moments humanity takes the front seat and religion caste of background becomes secondary we have seen this unity in situations like pandemics floods and social movements however religion which should be a source of peace and moral guidance unfortunately sometimes becomes a reason for division misinterpretation political misuse and lack of understanding often lead to conflicts between communities but I believe the real issue isn't religion itself but how it is used or manipulated if people focused on the core values that most religions share kindness compassion and respect then religion can actually unite us not divide us survival it is true that problems often remind us of our shared humanity we must also learn to rise above religious divides even when things are peaceful in the end it's not the religion but the mindset that needs to evolve.

In my perspective, I would completely agree with the 1st statement problem unite us, but I can partially agree with the idea that religion divide us. There were lot of situations from pre independence to post independence, where problem united people such as farmers protest against farm bills, non-cooperative movement against British rule. However there is dual behaviour when it comes to religion, It may unite or divide. It is because of some people who wants to dominate through religion and rumor false claims regarding religion beliefs creating chaotic situations such as riots in west bengal where hindus were attacked and looted. Moreover, there were few situations where people from different religion come forward and stay untied ex. Pahalgham attack where muslims and hindus condemned the attack and stood against it and this same incident also divided people in the name of religion by blaming muslims for the terror attack.

To summarize the topic, I can say that at the time od crisis and scarcity people come and act collectively, however that s different scenario when it comes to religion, which has the potential to unite and also divide people.

Hello Everyone.

I think both problems and religion are uniting and dividing us. There's a problem where people will not take part in resolving it because it is not affecting them much. If they will then they will find someone to blame for that problem 90% of the times someone's religion which gives the problem a communal angle. This is dividing. Now while they are busy in blaming each other problem increase affecting each and every individual. Then they contribute to resolving the issue. This is uniting. Once the issue is resolved then the investigation begins where again division starts. So this is basically a cycle of division and unity. We have seen this in history at the time of our freedom struggle which started with little problems grew with religious struggle and resulted in independence and then again the religious division of our great nation. Let's take recent events - JNU protests, CAA NRC protests, coronavirus pandemic we have been following the same cycle.

Basically, it is- religion exists because of problems and problems arises because of religion and then we the society seek solutions from the same religion.

Yes, I accept to the statement that problem unites us and religion divide us. Peoples are separated by religions. Those days people so much sticky to their religion. So they do not talk to other religious people. But nowadays youths of the nation understood that there is no religion among the people. All people have the same blood but differ in religion that is not a matter. According to Mahakavi Bharathiyar, there is no religion among people. Youth understood this very well. In work places, colleges, school etc, they talk and maintain friendship to everyone. Friendship are not based on caste or religion. All are same. Problems unite us, Example like, in Jallikattu protest everyone joined their hands together, all Muslim, Hindu, Christian, Islam etc joined hands together. That showed their uniformity. But old people are addicted to religion, even in love marriages also caste plays a major role. Love marriages must be encouraged. Every people has their own wish to marry the person he/she loves. With parents support, they can lead a happy married life. Caste, religion is not their people. All are same. Thank you.

I agree with this that "problems unite us but I partially agree with the statement that Religion divides us" because Religion divides us culturally, we have so much cultural diversity in our country India and that's the beauty of our country that we celebrate this diversity and live peacefully. But, at the end, we all are human beings, it's just a chance that we take birth in the religion that we are in. If we take our religion only as a matter of chance then we never disrespect other religions for anything. And coming to the statement that the problem unites us is true. As recently we have seen during the COVID-19 pandemic we all United and fought against this deadly virus. People help each other despite being from any religion. Even countries also come together and help each other make and distribute vaccines against the virus. Also, whenever anything wrong (like criminal offence, or environmental impact,) happens we come together, rally, candle March, and protest this also shows that the problem unites us. Whenever any disaster happens, people come together to help those affected.

To some extent, it is the harsh reality. Whenever we face problem especially if there are some disputes or differences from some other countries we stand united which is actually a good thing but where our unity vanishes while dealing with problems within our country.

Whenever some problems arise we don't give attention to that what was the reason behind it, why this happened what we want to know first is religion of that person or group due to which problem arose. And then we start blaming that oh he or they did so because he is from this religion and his religion does not teaches equality and respect or anything else.

This is very illogical thinking from people's side. How can anyone relate anyone's wrongdoing with his religion? No religion wants its follower to be rude or bad or commit a sin. Every religion has the same idea, all are same it's only the people who have created all difference.

Hence in order to maintain tranquillity and peace in our country and world, we must not fight in name of religion, we must stand together and face all problems unitedly.

In my opinion, there's nothing to do with religion when you are going for any work or problem in life.

Religion is just faith in god, but with humanity, we are able to trust in the people around us. Religion should be kept within ourselves, people should not be judged on the basis of religion as the person's skills or attitude matters most in any field. Yeah, I think problems unite us but religions divide us. Let's take an example of any contagious virus that goes around after years in the world everyone stands against that virus by forgetting about their identity of religion and there's the only thing in common with humanity which unite people. Everyone in this world has the right to follow the religion that they want to, but every person has a soft corner in their about humanity. In my opinion, humanity should be kept above religion as when someone is in need we don't have to think about his religion and we should serve him for humanity. I dread the world if they will just think about religion and forget about humanity, this will vandalise this world.

Thanks.

Hello good afternoon, my self Sai Varma, today we are here to discuss problem unite us religion divide us.

As far as, I'm concerned, problem unites us but religion not dividing us, In older days people are stuck to their religions and all, but nowadays generation as changed. We people not concentrating on religions which is the good thing, as we all are human we are not born with religion so we don't have to stick to our religions, whenever problem comes everyone has to join and solve the problem as we seen before about Jallikattu issue which resembles the unity with out any religion.

Why to take those big examples, I think that we all have friends in our school or college life, and everyone will have friends of other religion too. I am also having friends with different religions, but whenever there is a problem for all of my friends are going to help me. I think we are doing right which will helpful for our society.

Finally, I want to conclude that in my opinion problems unite us, but religion is not dividing us nowadays.

Thank you.

Hi Guys,

It is fact that "Problems unite us" when we face in our home, in friends circle, at work place etc. Because those problems can not solve without living together but in some conditions it is true there are some more conditions where problems divide us just like the conflict between India and Pakistan on the issue of Kashmir there are a lot of problems and because of those problems they do not live together and always being ready for fight. So problems unite us as well as divide us is base on the situation and place.

And in other hand, if we say "Religion divides us" so it is also having two faces because of two different-2 conditions if we talk about a particular group of people who believe in a particular religion so those people will not show partiality for all those people who are in their same group but if we talk about two other-2 religion' people so they can divide themselves because of their mentality.

Finally, I would like to say that these types of issues we face because of our mentality status among the people.
