Gods among us/Malaysiakini

Everyone has their own faith or religion. It has and still does guide us in mostly everything we do daily. Let it be Islam, Christianity, Hinduism and Budhism, each of this faith or religion we believe in teaches us morals and values of life. We may practise it in different ways but it still points to only goodness. It is sad to see that humans are actually being gods themselves without realizing it. Governments, politicians, and leaders are seen by their followers or supporters as perfect. Nothing or anything for that matter can be said or question of their policies and decisions. Are they right all the time? As much as i want to believe that every human as rights, regardless of their race or religion, sadly it is not so, we are only valued by our wealth, title and positions and not righteous. Who has given us the right to take one's life,(the death penalty)? Who has the right to punish another (by confining without being charged,ISA)? Who has given them the right to invade others by war(Isreal & Palestine, USA & Iraq,Afghanistan, and many more) Who is there to defend us from these HUMAN GODS?
