Religious Interpolation and One Religious Text

I already said about the real religious text, and that it is the numbers of good people exist in one religion rather than any book. Here, we have some rationalists’ arguments against the claim of one-religious book’s greatness. They say religious texts were written not by prophets themselves instead they all written by others, thus, allowing a vast space for interpolations and omissions. Human beings always mistake something for some other thing, and a brilliant man also commits such a mistake due to the ambiguity of sentences. This is the reason they argue that the possibility of original words of the God would be confused or mistaken by prophets, which are now in the religious books. They argue this too is a kind of interpolation. Again, there was the possibility of forgetting most of the words of Gods by prophets, and this, in a sense, becomes a mistake of omission of God’s words, and this compels logic to call every religious text as an incomplete text!

This is why, in general, Great souls request not to go after finding differences between one another, instead, try to find common factors among all religions, only to serve our own God and religion, and to lead a better religious life.

We can call both pure water and muddy water as ‘water’, in the same manner; the Great souls and selfish people call the name of the same God. This means, Great souls never mix the mud with the pure water, the God, just for the purpose of the mean claim of religious greatness. Again, this also means, even though the name of the God is the same, the sinners and nasty people can never mean the God in the same way the Great souls mean!! We can see religion only beyond the religious book, not within the book. How far the kind and good people are produced in a religion is the real religious book of that religion. In other words, if religions filled with cruel and immoral people, then the religious book loses its total existence, and the claim of the greatness of the religious book then sounds absurd. Now, who are the good religious people? Good religious people speak for God that means they speak for the good qualities, and live for God that means live for the good qualities. The bad religious people speak for God, that means they also speak for the good qualities, but live for Satan, that means they live for the bad qualities!

What is a religious text? It is a set of beliefs and rituals and philosophy, etc. meant to practice in life. Thus, in other words, the path or rituals, which one group of people follow, is their religious text. We can see so many sects in a religion, with different interpretations of that original text as well as with many exclusive rituals. When the different meanings come to the sentences, there the book will not remain the same. This means only when everybody gives the same meaning or interpretation to a particular book, then, that book can be considered, “one book” but if we have different meanings and interpretations to a book for different sects, then, they only become different meaning-interpolations!! The Meaning-interpolation is very stronger than the sentence- interpolation because we can interpret the added sentence in accordance with the earlier original lines, but in the meaning-interpolation, it is not possible and they bound to remain separate forever!! Again, there we also naturally get different meaning-texts for different sects and cults within the same “one book” religion!! In this way, there is no religion exists with single religious text.
