RACE AND RELIGION

Ever wondered about races and religion which bind us humans? I did, today. Though generally people tend to look at these two aspects through the same lens, in reality two are widely apart and totally incomparable.

Race is natural; religion man made. Race came first; religion came much later. Race cannot be altered; religion can be changed. Race has a proof; religion does not have one. Race is; religion isn't. Religion divides; race doesn't.

You cannot look at the face of an individual and decide which religion does he practice. But you can always look at the face of an individual and generally guess what race does he belong to. Race has a profile; religion lacks one. We have races wherein people are tall or short, dark or fair skinned, have straight hair or curly, athletic and stiff body or supple, sharp features or mongoloid or even very flat. Accordingly, they specialise in different fields.

Scan different continents and regions and you would realize how racial profiles change gradually and continuously.

You would have seen in sports arena, different races specialise in different disciplines. Races generally are won by Africa, athletics field events by Europe, table tennis by South East Asia, basketball by America, wrestling by Middle East and CIS countries and lawn tennis by America, Russia and Europe and in Europe especially states carved out of former Yogoslavia and Czechoslovakia.

Races dictate strengths, skills and weaknesses of people and I fully respect them.
