We are blessed by Mukto-mona writers, like Mahashina Khatun, who can enlighten us with information that many of us may not have otherwise. As for me, I have very little patience to read any of the religious scriptures. It's not that I did not try, I did, but - I could not go very far. You can finish reading something only when you are learning something and curious to know what's next. These books turn me off within a few lines. Writings are based on immature naïve reasoning and logically inconsistent arguments. I am glad that the writer had the patient to finish the entire text. It amazes me how people brag about such books in this day and age.
The description of "Jannat" or "Behestwa" is so poor and inconsistent that it does not make sense at all, as the writer has pointed out. As I was reading this article, I was also asking myself the same question, "what about the reward for women?" Woman will again become a sex-toy of the man in the Jannat. Then, there is wine in the Jannat, but -without intoxicating ingredients. That's not wine, that's juice. Intoxicating agents turns grape juice into wine, which makes wine so interesting. If it's not there, what's the point of waiting all life for drinking juice in he Jannat? It seems like the writer of these books wanted to make a distinction with Christianity, and in the process made it completely meaningless. Also, how can everything be magnificent and beautiful in the Jannat? Logically it is impossible, because - "beauty" cannot exist without "ugly." The whole thing appears to be absurd, to say the least.
The story is the same in all religions. There is nothing logical in any of these books. That's why all religions forbid criticism, and need some empty-headed blind-faith believers.
I encourage everyone to read this article.
