Did Oh My God also called holy books religious man-made propaganda?

In the movie Oh My God, Kanji sues God for destroying his shop when he doesn't get the insurance money for his loss, as it was considered an "Act Of God" because his house was destroyed in an earthquake which is a natural calamity.

The defense lawyer asks him to bring proof of God destroying his shop. Then Akshay Kumar's character who played God Krishna in the movie, advices him to read all holy books Bhagwad Gita, Quran and Bible, and in all three books it's written that every natural calamity happens with the will of God.

So did the movie supported reading of holy books and considered it not a propaganda made by humans? If that's the case, then did it mean God indeed destroyed Kanji's shop out of anger for spreading a false rumour about him all over India?

But it would make God a dictator whom you should fear and the movie gives a message of not having that image of him in your mind. As it's a false image sold by Godmen to make people fear him.

Then why Kanji's house was the only building destroyed in the earthquake? If that was not by will of God, then that means holy books are wrong. But then why Krishna advices Kanji to read them if holy books are also religious propaganda made by Godmen?

Holy books being propaganda is further supported by Mithun Chakraborty's character who is a Godmen, quoting something from Bhagwad Gita which said that anyone not believing or doubting anything written on the book would never get peace in life or death.

So coming back to my original question, did the movie called holy books man-made propaganda or not?

Reading religious books is not propaganda

I have read holy books of all the religions during my graduation.

None of the original books promote killing other human beings and superstitions. Most of the religions are retaliation to the evil practices in society. Jainism and Buddhism came when animal sacrifices increased to extreme and the wars among Mahajanpadas killed many people. Later Buddhism and Jainism started to have all the practices from old religions as people.

Christianity rose as a result of complexity of Greek and Roman gods worship. Plus people were tired of not understanding what they have sinned. For forgiveness they had to spent a lot. Plus many of them hated Judaism.

Islam rose in middle east and Arab world as there was no unity among the people. Constant wars killed many and female infanticide became rampant. Prophet literally killing of female kids or any kids in general.

Most people have forgotten why any religion or practice came in first place. They just blindly follow anything.

Many people believe god lives in books which mostly never changed. This is constant for them like their ancestors.

I don't remember dialogues of the movies as I had watched the movie a long time ago, but I'm just looking at things pointed out by you.

In the movie Oh My God, Kanji sues God for destroying his shop when he doesn't get the insurance money for his loss, as it was considered an "Act Of God" because his house was destroyed in an earthquake which is a natural calamity. The question here is, if everything is in Gods hands, do humans have no accountability?

The prosecution lawyer asks him to bring proof of God destroying his shop. Then Akshay Kumar's character who played God Krishna in the movie, advices him to read all holy books Bhagwad Gita, Quran and Bible, and in all three books it's written that every natural calamity happens with the will of God. Are they mocking the texts, or the people - blaming God for their own actions? What about man made calamities? Did God cause pollution?

So did the movie supported reading of holy books and considered it not a propaganda made by humans? But reading a book doesn't solve anything. People can be spiritual without knowing how to read? Is spirituality or attaining salvation dependent on holy books? Are there no revered saints who defied religious norms? Are people capable enough to interpret holy books at all? How many people commit crimes or acts of terrorism based on their interpretations of holy books?If that's the case, then did it mean God indeed destroyed Kanji's shop out of anger for spreading a false rumour about him all over India?

But it would make God a dictator whom you should fear and the movie gives a message of not having that image of him in your mind. As it's a false image sold by Godmen to make people fear him.

Then why Kanji's house was the only building destroyed in the earthquake? If that was not by will of God, then that means holy books are wrong. But then why Krishna advices Kanji to read them if holy books are also religious propaganda made by Godmen?

So coming back to my original question, did the movie called holy books man-made propaganda or not?

Do most people not practice religion out of fear than God? Are people more superstitious or spiritual? Are they not different?

So are they mocking books or people who are misled or misleading people?

No religion or holy book is to be blamed, but people who think they know everything but don't.

All I got from the movie was that the almighty benovelent God would not interfere with humans to get rid of misery and suffering, but he is narcissistic enough to interfere when someone questions his existence. 😆

Maybe he did. But how would anyone know. No one knew except Kanji that Krishna was a God.

A movie showing the truth, I don't think that's possible.

We only have the movie to base it on, if we want to guess we can expand it anyway. But what is given in the movie is that a lot of people have had a lot of suffering and there are evil god men, but God didn't interfere in their lives.

No he did not say that the holy books were man made propaganda.

as far as I know (correct me if I am wrong) the "act of God" or natural calamities can be a response to inhuman activities but also punishment for the disbelievers whenever they cross their limits or exceed in their bad deeds, a warning for bad people, kaanji was a disbeliever who used to SELL every thing in the name of God, mock him and refused to believe in him. so, hence the calamity

The movie was about Kanji. It was his story. So God interfering in his life was shown to the audience. You can't base it on the movie to make this claim that he didn't interfere in the life of other humans.
