Well, the suicide among the religious and those, who have rebelled against it is increasing. There can be many reasons for committing suicide and those, who promote it also includes the religious people, the speakers and the preacher who led mobs to commit suicides. They do it for many reasons:
1. Motivating one to commit suicide as offering life for salvation-it has lead mobs to follow it
2. Using the religious believers to act as the suicide bombers and other such actions in which one acts to commit suicide as if a sacrifice for a great cause not ever knowing that it was misguidance in the name of religion
3. The oppression of sensitive and the honest people by project the truth and salvation in such a way that they may feel that they do not deserve to live and thus commit suicide believing that they are the sinners
4. Preaching of such topics that give the guidelines of self-torture and fortitude as a way for salvation that may take one’s life, which is induced suicide or in the influence of little knowledge about the truth
5. The preaching of religion as if good action based so that one, who commits even a human error leads to believe that it is all wrong and thus the depression emergence in which the medical treatments may lead one even to death, however it is also a suicide induced by the preachers
6. The preachers also create sense of inequality by comparing the good believers and the bad ones, that gives the self-assumed good believers to dictate the others as self-righteous ones leading them, the bad believers to accept that they are burden on the society of the true people, who the projects as a Utopian idea without having any real experience and lessons from personal life to share. They preach as if they are the Gurus and their way of preaching is as if Commanding others to correct behaviors, thus they make groups in public that are on assumptions that one if follows the practices is a religious person. This is social disintegration in which many people may not survive and thus commit suicides
7. The quote too much from the scriptures and thus without any witness and examples they describe the ideals that no one can follow, this leads none to have idea about what one should follow because one needs an example to follow. However, the preachers tend to exhibit the highest level of knowledge that is good for research, but have nothing for the common person to follow because if we give example of say Mother Teresa and or one disciple, who cheated Lord Christ, the Judah to even whom he forgave, one can understand what to follow and what not to follow. If one keeps on reminding the weaknesses and the wrongs one has done, it creates one to feel the loneliness as we are facing it as one of the major problems in the world
8. Mostly the concept of Grace is ignored by many preachers because they tend to believe in good acts and more knowledge about God, so they keep on making one crave for becoming better and get the perfect knowledge that they, the preachers offer. It may make one insane, because the actions and knowledge alone is not the core of any religion. The Grace is. However, they mostly do not do it, so it leads to depression or schizophrenia because one keeps on checking actions and the thoughts ignoring the feelings, which create the personal relations with whatever one worships. It leads to attempts to commit suicide and or literally committing
9. Now, the worst are those, who show God as a punishment executor as if the jailer of the universe. They create the insecure feelings because of the fear that God does not forgive. They keep on pondering about the points that they, the ideal preachers project as the most important factors that make one reach heaven, and on the other hand they create the regrets that if one is sick or suffering, there must be sins that one is committing and carrying the virus of disease that can make on die as if from gangrene of the entire body. Such a verbal and or written preaching can make many to believe that they have done sins. In India, the poor people and the farmers are committing suicides because of such a bad image of God created by the rich and knowledge preachers
10. The most important that can stop the suicide is the prayers, which the preachers ignore when they speak about the perfection. They usually keep on saying that God does justice in accordance with what one does while obeying the scriptures in a perfect way. Thus, mostly the believers tend to believe that if they have done anything wrong God will not hear their prayers. Thus, they, the preachers detach many from religions and faiths to keep their own circle of the faithful ones and let the others to live either in depression or commit suicide.
Now, these points are similar in nature, but not repletion. However, when these are given as the tool for preaching on media in any form need to consider the preventive measures as well:
1. We offer our body to live a natural life accepting that we are humans and serve other so that we first learn to unite with natural and the human world
2. Giving life to trees, plants and other forms of life is more important that dying for something as if saving the religion because God takes care of everything
3. The arts that we can cultivate make us to feel and experience that we are gifted by God not cursed ones
4. The fair dealing is the most difficult task that includes almost all good works or actions that one can perform
5. Learning human nature is more important because we can never be perfect and errors, mistakes and wrongs do not count as we tend to give weight to it in such extremes
6. Nature gives rain and water to all, when it does not discriminate the believers and non believers, why do we promote, may be human nature has ego and nature seems selfless
7. Sharing the knowledge alone as if a tonic giving to a hungry is wastage of time of writers, speakers, readers and listeners, we all need sharing of experiences. If we fail it does not matter, our experiences if shared give guidelines as the stories, the true stories as witnesses give
8. Grace of God is unconditional, but we tend to make it above the common levels that we have as humans, the limitations and other demerits. The Grace can cleanse everything that harms us
9. God does not just punish, the religions and faiths explain that discipline is must so duty and discipline are important for all, if we fail without breaking any discipline when then we are the winners in the spirit of whatever we do
10. Prayers can save lives, we can offer prayers for one another, and it gives healing. If the preachers guide about praying for one another, we all can unite
Above all to strengthen faith, we express that we all are one and ready to help anyone facing any trouble, no matter what person does. We have to be very careful when we are speaking or preaching on radio and television because there may not be any interaction and thus one is a passive listener, who may get the wrong influences as discussed. Even in writing we do not have to create the tendency for suicide, but the fearlessness and bravery to face the bitter truths of life, particularly of the real life.
I had these points noted many times, but today the radio program about the Religious Discourses from one of the Indian Radio station broadcasted it and such a broadcast needs a check because we all suffer from many depressions already and trying to handle so many problems.
You see we are in the society and even in the jails all facilities are provided to improve, then why not in the society. We can serve and pray together, we pray for our armies and all those, who want to die for us, and similarly for those, who want to die for duty in any form. Let us think about it after praying. Thanks!
