Do the Gods discriminate? Do they have differential system in the way they treat their devotees, in the way they perceive the world? Well no matter what the world tells you, what society at large tells you, the Gods don’t discriminate, and neither are they condescending or judgemental.
They really don’t care who you are, or even where you are form, or what you did, as long as what you do comes from your heart and is pure and unconditional. They are not bothered about your background, or your social status, your gender, size, religion, political leaning, or even your preferences, your orientation. It doesn’t matter if your black or white, rich or poor, big or small, gay or straight, you have all the rights to believe in the divine (if you choose to believe in a higher being), you have all the right to worship the way you were meant to worship.
Gods don’t discriminate. They listen to the prays of the poor, accept their offerings as they listen to the prays of the rich, there’s no preferential treatment. They don’t care if you come to them in all silken finery, or your torn and tattered clothing. They see all as equal, all as one.
Gods are all tolerant, they accept a repentant heart, as much as a pure of heart. They are more accepting, they don’t care about who you choose to love. They don’t judge you for that, they don’t forbade you. Cause Gods divine nature is love. All the judging and forbading is done by society.
They don’t care of your gender. A woman has every right to worship as man. A woman’s menstrual cycle doesn’t make her impure or unclean. This is nature’s law and nature is a form of the divine. So how can we call the divine impure (this is just my thoughts).
You can be holier than thou, offering prayers, following all the tenets that religions say you should follow, but still be impure of heart. Cause such a person is condescending, judgemental, intolerant, unaccepting, especially in things that go against their beliefs. Where’s the purity in this? Wouldn’t this make us hypocrites?
Let no one, no being tell you that you can’t. You will find more non-Christian than Christians at Mount Mary and St Michaels paying devotion to Mother Mary for their belief in her. You will find non-Hindus joining their Hindu brethren in celebrating festivals like Holi, Diwali, Ganesh Chathurthi. Same for Eid. It is only society and evil that men do, that bring a divide, that become intolerant.
So in the end, if someone tells you that you can’t worship, because of who you are, just call their BS.
