What's the sense of religion? what is the purpose of defending the religion.? Many teaching that said that we need to defend religion, and even die to defend religions. Some say religion A or B is true religion. If religion did not exist on this earth, whether that truth will be lost as well? Is God not able to communicate the truth directly into the human self. Frankly if we defend the religion, what are we really defending? Religion, teaching, or who created the religion, or we are defending God from those who insult God. If there are people who insult God, what God can not change people's hearts, so if we need to help God. What's that in the search by humans in the world? "Religion or truth"? Many people defend the religion but never seek the truth.

Someone choose and believe their religion, by faith, with the chosen religion. trust means believing in the truth of his religion. not needed to find the truth of a religion, if we believe. in defense of religion, every religion has rules. so far, which occurred in Indonesia is not to defend religion, but sin, because religion never taught to do it.

Religion is the human way of life technical guidelines which should, according to Creating a distinguished man. Religion does not need a defense, because no single human being who can hurt. Religion is not the purpose of man, but religion leads people to know his way of life. Religion is not a need plea, but chastity Contents of Religious content that must be maintained. That needs a defense are the ones who have run the command in accordance with the instructions of Religion (not his religion distinguished behind).

Beyond talking about the need or not for a defense of religion, I think it depends on the individual assessment of each, and you give the reason of this.

Nope. We have our free will to have any religion or even do not have one. It always it end up in a heated discussion.

Not just religion, God just needs to be helped. "If you help God, then God will help you .." so Scripture gives information. Of course, that meant helping God here is not in the sense of denotative, but connotative meaning, ie run away from God's commands and prohibitions, the god will rescue you. Thus, to defend our religion can also interpret as a religious practice. If religion is the resume practicing, of course the world will be peaceful, because evil will decline.

Religion, in this case I specialize in the holy book ...., contains a lot of things to sorted out precisely with the moral character ... every man owned since birth. If not can actually make us immoral ..., sorry ..., but it does happen, right?

"Many people defend the religion but never seek the truth." You are very correct here. Frankly I follow my religion for my personal uplift. I would not be aggressive about it. Understand and teach religion for the spirit of it, going by letter may actually be going against it!
