Idol Worship Observations

There are few Observations about Idol Worship which I would like to point out in this blog post:

• We know Hindus indulge in this sort of obsession known as idol worship.
• Is there any scientific basis for this?
• There are two ways to look at it.
• One is that there is a scientific basis but it is yet to be discovered by "Science".
• People pay in hundreds of thousands at famous idols all over the world over the course of days, months or year.
• Now we know that these people are real.
• People are living entities and they make the "journey" to these temples and "they pray".
• Their prayer is a call to the almighty for desires which they want to be fulfilled.
• Like some may want a child, some wants high marks in exams, some wants promotion in job, some want a perfect husband or wife and so on, the prayers are endless.
• We cannot deny the fact that a person every person is unique.
• And something powers this person.
• This person does not have a man made battery or motors making him work.
• He or she is powered by a unique system which is still a mystery and science is still working towards uncovering all the graphic details.
• Some people will say that a "soul is inside a person" and this soul drives that person.
• But even if we deny the soul we cannot deny the fact that every person is unique and something makes that person "work".
• Now idols may not have life. But people have life.
• And people pray to these idols. So a little bit of life gets transferred to this idol.
• People don't pray to people in hundreds of thousands. 
• Maybe there are a few elders whom many bow down and seek the blessing. But in no case it would be in hundreds of thousands.
• Maybe some "living gurus" or leaders would be there whom many bow down.
• But it cannot match the very fact that the idol stays in one place and people pray where the idol is standing.
• A living person would be keeping on moving.
• If an idol moved than it would be a "horror story" or a "sci-fi thriller".
• We can then expect full fledged coverage in News channels and Armed forces would be taking full fledged action to take it down in case it turns hostile like we see in Extra terrestrial movies like Independence Day or Godzilla movies.
• Thus the idol is worthy of worship only because we are human and it is an idol.
• If it were moving it would no longer be worthy of worship but it would be a fit candidate for military action to protect the safety of humans. That is what I feel.
