Problems unite us, Religion divides us

It is true that when human beings face problems they come together. We can take many instances to prove that. In October 2013, Cyclone Phailin hit Andhra Pradesh and Odisha and caused immense damage. When such a calamity befell India, people of India came forward to help their fellow citizens.

Funds started pouring in from all parts of India and many organizations such as the ISKCON Food Relief Foundation and Google came forward to offer their help. It is sad to note that only when problems arise do people show care and concern to their fellow citizens.

Religion-Everyday we can see one column in newspaper covering the act of violence on the name of religion. People have the tendency to kill each other on the name of religion.

Problems and religion both collect crowds the only difference is people come together to face and solve a problem while they stand against each other for religion. Religion is faith and spreading love but all these years mankind never understood this and will never try to. But problems and crisis are the time when people unite to find a solution that time no one bothers what religion you are what cast you belong to nothing, only aim is to solve the problem. In spite of cursing the bad situation we should be thankful to them because that is the time when people unite and the real ones stay beside you in your crisis. Thus there could be no better situation other than crisis to find out the real humanity in a person.

Thank you.

I agree with the statement that "Problems unite us ". If we have a common problem surely it will be easy to search for a solution together. In this process, we get to know each other and this builds strong bonds amounts us. The recent war against Covid 19 shows how all countries regardless of religion came forward to find a solution.

The Statement "Religion divides us" is controversial. If we look into the past there have been many wars and conflicts based on religious differences, which was in the past. And I believe that now it is in our hands to change it. This will remain a problem if we give statements by keep looking into the past. It's us who need to change our view about religion as a dividing barrier.

I would like to put my opinions about this topic "Problems unite us and religions divide us".

I do think that for problems which we face, we look for help and the help us who can give and solution to it could be anyone like our friends are tips the people who know but this person can also be from other religions and what we only look for the solution at that time when we are facing a major problem it's what people's nature which unites a person with another not the religion differentiate between them in different scenarios where people don't like other religion then they will not even bother to take help from any person who is from other religion so, in that case, religion May divide people from other people.

The respective statement can be interpreted in various ways, but it is not necessary for people to unify or split in both situations. In my opinion, it is the heart that matters.

For example, India is a country with a diverse culture, and we celebrate each and every religious festival, which unites our hearts in joy. The same can be understood in the case of problems or suffering, if we talk about globally then everyone has taken up the challenge to unite everyone's efforts for a sustainable future.

Although, if viewed from a different perspective then the entire situation could vary. As previously stated that it all depends on the heart of people or their genuine love and responsibility towards each other.

Problems unite us, they never end in life, gets more complicated though. But we need to fight these problems honestly rather than running away from them since that won't help us in any case as the problems are going to chase down for sure.

Religion is a name given to us by our society, I feel all religions are the same and have one god. I don't feel that it divides us even after reading every other article in the newspaper regarding the same.

Consider partitions of India, these didn't arise due to religion. These were created due to political differences. India is politically very unstable which is the major reason for creation of problems.

Neither Religion nor politics divide us, it is the politics.

All face problems in their life. When the same problem happens with us and other people then without seeing religion and all. We help each other. It's really good. But when we are not suffering from problem and we see others suffering. Then we have no effect on ourselves. Here we see person's religion instead of helping him.

And I think religion does three things very effectively:.

It divides people.
It controls people.
It deludes people.

So we must cross the lines of religion and for humanity, we should help each other in any problem. Nd should live peacefully.

Because religion doesn't give us a right judgement of a person.

So don't judge people by their religion. All are ours. Help each other.

Hello Everyone !! Thank you for giving me the opputunity to be the part of group discussion.
In my opinion , I partially agree with the topic. The very first part, "Problems unite us" is completely true. We have many examples proving this statement true. For example, when the massive earthquake hit the lands of Kutch Bhuj Gujarat entire country stand together to help the victims .

The very next part of the Religion divides us is not true with respect to my perspective. It depends on the preachers who guides the listeners or devotees . They are responsible to guide them in the right direction because religion is a sensitive topic and people or devotees trust the preachers blindly.
Thank You!

For the problem side, I would like to say it's human nature to relax and be happy every time as when a human face any kind of problem they try to figure it out on their own and if they are not capable of solving the problem on there own then simply ask for help or rely on the person who is more powerful and superior to them, and this is the thing that we call to unite, about religion that divides us it diving as nothing to do with religious beliefs and process, their many people who are powerful enough to influence a crowd of people. As people who are incapable of making the decision of their own follow others and this was made chaos among the people which we call religion divided all of us.

The topic is very interesting, I also want to give my such thoughts on this topic, that problem always unite us to face it and to get out of it is half correct because a human is selfish it always think about it self first rather then other, whether it is any case of problem.
Now we talk about is religion divide us?
So , this all things are fitted in our mind from ancient year that they are lower class people, they are upper class people,
This type of discrimation is problem and thinking that start dividing us from caste to caste, religion to religion.
Solution : of this problem is we have to upgrade us, and other by removing this small mentality of discrimation.
By literating them
