The votaries of religion often boast about loss of moral value because of decay of religion. They often stress on need for religious education for increasing morality in society.

But rape of a minor girl by a tantrik (a religious practitioner) speaks volume about the moral standard that religion may bring about.

Religion was never a beautiful blonde to me. I keep it at bay.

Are we talking about beauty and blonde or ugly and black. Religion has nothing to do, associated with bad, violent and ugly. There are many tribes in India who worship before going for their criminal activities, it does not mean the religion allows them to commit crimes in its name. Religion is personal belief and people criticise it for the sake of fashion. When something hurts them, they straight away run to the nearest temple. Cheers

Tantrik has nothing to do with religion, if a fake doctor (Jholachap) rapes a girl, that does not mean we should challenge the value of medicine or its practice. These are two different matters and fakes are there in every field of life.

A jholachhhap is a fake doctor but a tantrik is not fake religious person. Tantrik practice consists of murderous sacrifice, , drinking blood, rape and all dark practices. This is an ugly aspect of religion .

Tantrik is not a religious person as he practices darker side of tantra related to black magic, that is not religious by any angle, my two dime opinion.

Tantra or tantrik is part of Hindu scriptures and so is religion- may be dark side. This is indeed ugly side of religion.

One has to accept that it's the darker side - a side that not many would advocate. But that exists.

Religion may have evoloved as an institution to regularise human behavior but it has its own drawbacks...We get to hear many immoral acts done by the so called god fearing and very religious people. When illiteracy gets added on to irrational thinking such perversities take place ! The tantrik too belongs to rthe very same society of people and one cannot really expect anything much from him...

I have expressed myself elsewhere that religion as is perceived by the majority is not in the interest of civilization as historical records and evidences so I have don't have any faith in established religions. These completely blind us and blunt the very urge to launch a self-inquiry for truth and whatever rests on it.

True, the established religions are more about conducting rituals that do not serve in manner in the quest for self-inquiry or for truth, but they are designed more suited as a means for earning money and instilling fear in the name of God!
