Are you obsessed by religion? What do you think about people who...?

Hello Phoenix, I didn't considered it obsession. Religion means to reconnect with God. I was born as a catholic and like you, I laughed before seeing people fellowshipping, like born again christian, baptise or whatever they call. But when God's calling came into my life , I realize I really need God. I learnt life here is temporal, and real life is in heaven (Phil 3:20). But to understand this, you must have God's spirit moving inside your body. Then I started reading bible, and every words becoming clear and clearer to me that seems God is talking to me. My friend, I would like you to know your whole duty in life, fear God, and keep His commandments (Eccl 12:13)

I have a few friends who are very religious. I am not real religious, but I try to live by the commandments anyway. I figure the most important thing is to be a good person. Being very religious doesn't bother me. I do get uncomfortable if people try to "convert" you or make you bend to their beliefs.

Hi phoenix, We are all different and there are some who are completely obsessed with religion and sometimes there appears to be no rational reason for it. I see nothing wrong with following a religion unless you are trying to push it on another. Usually people are this way because they have been indoctrinated as children, but there are some who seem to be born religious even when their families want nothing to do with it. I think it is very wrong for others to be pushing their religion on another but in most cases this is what there leaders want. Blessings.

No I'm not, and I have no problem with people who are as long as they aren't shoving it down my throat.

Hello again friend, I am Muslim, but when I was a kid my parents always warned me that being obsessed with religion is a bad thing. As a matter of fact, there is a say in my house, "Under the veil dances the devil". My parents simply do not like overconservativeness and they do not want us to be a part of it either. I learned from them that people who are way too obsessed with religion are the most corrupted people on earth which is actually true. Look at the things happening around. Most of it is has come from conservative views. Hatred is also instigated by these religious groups whether they are Christian, Muslim or Jewish. I completely agree with my parents on one thing and that is, religious people have a tendency to think that they bought God and so no matter what they do their sins will be washed away. Also just like my parents I don't trust and respect religious scholars because they simply like the idea of manipulating religions to fulfill their own desires. As for general religious public, most of them practice double standard. I had an ex who was a member of his church. He was attending bible studies for a long time. He called himself conservative, but the funniest thing was that before meeting me he was fooling around with girls and breaking their hearts whenever he got bored of them. And yes he even went to stripper clubs. Don't you call that double standard? It is just one example. There are many I can give you from people of other religions. But in Islam one one of the biggest lies that is widely accepted is that Muslim women must cover their hair. It is funny that the word hair was never mentioned in Quran. But when I try to discuss it with other Muslims they get all mad at me. Another funny thing is that the so called Hadith which is used to make sharia law has been written by people who never even saw Prophet Muhammad. And this hadith is full of mistakes. But these obsessed Muslims will never see it especially the men because they like how it lets them keep women underneath them.

I really wouldn't say that I am obsessed by religion. I do go to church and play piano at it, but on the whole, I'm probably not as religious as some of my fellow churchmembers are. I don't feel like I am, anyway. I do believe in a God and/or spiritual being. But, sometimes the dogma of the church system throws me a little bit.

I believe one must practice religion in moderation. One should not be obsessed with it. I am a Christian and to me belief in Christ is more than enough.

Good morning dear friend phoenix , welll when i was a child , around my eight years old kwe had brought in shool the religion as an obligatoire lesson , and i assited just the first two classes that we had and afterwards o skipped all the classes that the teacher kept , because i never liked it , but this doesn't mean that i don't believe that there is a god , i go by a simple principal ; and that uis that people have choices to make good or bad thingz , i cann say that i have no religion at all , but whenever i do kind stuffs it really makes me feel good , and if i had a good day at the end of it i feel verry good to thank God that he gaved me that. Now about the religion fanatics all that i cann say is that i detest them , since because of them and theire strong beliefes innoncent people had to die , i dont care to judge this people , but they really bother me , since i find them really short minded and not having allot of brains. Have a nice day dear friend.
