What Is Wrong With Religion?

Us meant those who don't have religion in their lives . I would never try to speak for All. sorry , my bad.Many have religion on their lives and Always will. I know I will.

Who are us ? Why do you feel the need to talk about every person ? What if some of US don`t want to leave religion ?

That`s why i asked because you wrote " So is the time for us to try? Many are already going it without religion. " If you really think about this you will see you can`t say what`s good or bad without religion.I know we hear we have to be good or follow your heart or whatever every day but when you think deeper everything will fail.If we burn all religious books and accept we come from apes then there is no way to tell what`s right or wrong.Like a russian said : "Man is descended from a monkey, consequently we shall love one another." What we are hearing every day on TV or reading it`s called indoctrination and it is done by a group of people who have very strong beliefs.And they want us to get rid of our beliefs so that we can accept theirs.This is what i think.

Religion doesn't equate with a belief in the gods. You do not have to be religious to believe in a god. Is religion itself good or bad?

"Islam is holding the world back with extremists" "Abrahamic religion are bad" I'm Muslim and proud , every day I thank my God because He is blessed on me with the grace of Islam , Do not promote rumors biased about my religion, you do not know Islam, study Islam or read it neutrally and then judge it, and the Abrahamic religions is not bad, they are religions that descended from the God of human beings and their Creator, and thus they are not as you say, that the followers of all religions have changed in the teachings of their religions , Defect in them and not in the religions

It really depends on the religion you are focusing on, I'll take it as the Abrahamic religions. Islam is holding the world back with extremists, while Christianity is trying get into schools and politics. As for Judaism, it's not popular here in the place I'm in America and I don't know anyone who is of that religion, all I know is that they are just the old testament version of Christians. Like all religions these are usually taught to children at a young age so even though we take science classes at my school, people of these Abrahamic religions always laugh at evolution because it dethrones human worth. I have nothing against most religions but I really don't like the extremist ones and the Abrahamic ones in general because they mock other religions and try to convert them to theirs. Religion by emotional support is good. Abrahamic religion are bad. Extremist religions are bad. I don't know much about other religions other than the Abrahamic religions so don't bother to tell me all religions aren't the same, doesn't take a genius to figure out a branch is not the entire tree.

Here is a letter from Albert Pike which tells all about the new religion: http://www.threeworldwars.com/albert-pike2.htm Note that now many of the priests in Christianity and Islam are run by the elite group. They are here to use the divide and rule policy to create instability and hatred. They just want to prove that Abrahamic religions are all about blood shedding. In the Muslim world, there is a group known as Wahabi. If you read their history you will know that they were created by UK for political benefits. Unfortunately, this group now has tremendous power which gives them the ability to influence Islam to give it a bad name. They are backed up by Muslim brotherhood whose founder was a Freemason. This second group controls Middle Eastern banks and deep down inside they are Luciferians and not real Muslims. Same goes in the Judaism. There was one time in Europe when the Jewish population was very less. Judaism was not so mainstream. But then came a time when Christians decided to get rid of all those who are into idol worshiping. Pagans were highly worried about it and thus their only option was to show that they actually converted to Judaism. However, they actually did not practice Judaism at all. In their homes, they were still pagans. The combination of these fake Jewish, Muslims and Christians are now responsible for whatever we are seeing in this world right now.

Conspiracy, that`s cool. I think being a martyr may be my only chance to go to heaven so i don`t know if this conspiracy is such a bad idea.

Can you tell us more about this another religion ?

I think you are undervaluing religion. Its primal function is far more important than just governing behavior.

No, I think religion plays an important role in our lives. It has been around as long as there have been human societies and has played an important part in our survival as a species.

I don`t understand where you`re heading.You say we should give non religion a chance only on some aspects of our life ?

I can not find myself in complete agreement with you. I don't know of any time in our existence as a species that there was no religion. What we know of our history shows that religion has always been with us.

Interesting. I have to agree that there must have been a point that religion started but that raises an interesting question. What makes us human and is religion a part of that?

Well, you are thinking of only what we know of our history. So, there are things that history hasn't told us, I am referring it that way. There has to be a beginning to everything. So, in that case, when something exists now, then there should be a beginning to it too. There is beginning only when it hasn't existed.

Well, as Chiang... observes there never has been a society without religion and we might add, nor one without language. Should we suggest abandoning language? No. Religion is something we do, and all value derives from religion. No religion no culture, no culture no society all the best urban

Oh God I did not know that that was a very simple question indeed I am sorry I ran out of common sense lol

Can you please tell me why, at least in my favor? lol No is not enough

I think that you fail to understand religions primary function and how it has helped the human species survive. There have been humans and religion far longer than there have been monotheistic religions and I don't think monotheism is really all that important. Religion has been and still is an important part of what makes us human but it is not a specific religion. It is the whole collection of religions.

What you understood and Derived by from my words, let me show you: If a person thinks of as objects of nature around him, who created from non. The Sun and the Moon appear and disappear at fixed certain times, from which to do so, for there must be a great creator. And Like any other science, such as medical science that reveals the secrets of diseases, and physical science that reveals the secrets of nature around us. Why do not we turn to the religious sciences that are the basis of all these sciences. Religious Science draws people to the right path and the Platform for their lives, and the rules of their dealings with God, with others and even with themselves. Must take the platform of our religion, does not make pure coincidence and our discoveries in life determine the approach that we're on. My best regards

Is religion itself important? What does it add or take away from a society?

You have hit on its main function. It is the glue that holds a society together through a community of shared beliefs.

It holds the society together. It shows the path to an individual who wants to do good and be useful. It tells you what is good and bad. It gives you discipline. All it needs is adaptation to the changed circumstances from the time it originated, and it is good as new.

Do you think religion plays a positive or negative role?

For the most part I would have to say negative. The only reason I say that is because many of our politicians believe God told them to run for office. I am sorry but I have a problem with people like Sarah Palin, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, and Michele Bachmann and even George W Bush who bring religion into politics. Rick Perry had a, I think what was a 3 day event in Texas to pray for rain. Instead of fixing Texas and making it better he was wasting tax dollars on something he has no control over. Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin both believe God told them to run for office and make it a point that when they are going to pray about coming up with solutions to huge problems. You just can't trust there decision making skills to fix a country with huge problems on logic like that. Many voters vote against their own interest because someone has the same faith as them. They do not look at the reality of the situation but instead place their faith into fixing everything. They distort facts just because it contradicts their religion. I think it is fine if people want to believe in God but, how bout "we say we don't know." How do you know God is not just testing you and wants you to come up with the decisions and does not want you to be asking for help all the time. It is a very dangerous way to live and I am sure many civilizations have paid a price, and are still paying the price because they think it is Gods will to fix their life for them or will show them the path to fix their lives. Then you just have some people who don't even care about their life because if they die in their mind they are going to a better place. So they do not care about the planet the animals on it and could care less what we do to it because it is not heaven and God gave us this planet to do whatever we want with it. Really, you something God made wants you to mistreat and disrespect it. The very planet, plants, and animals that have kept you and your family alive this whole time. So yes I see religion as more negative on society than positive, I guess I just contradicted myself on the other post but now that I think about it. If people can separate religion from the reality of life then it can go back to being positive, quit trying to think they know everything because they think they know what God wants. The problem is we don't know and until we do know, we need to treat everyone, and everything with a little more respect because it may not be hear tomorrow.

"What is wrong with religion" --It's time for you brother to embrace Christianity as we are committed to do and think only for the right thing. We appear to be living more in tune with the reality of human nature and the world.

To me, the absence of religion, permanence and stability in anything means the outright denial of the value of human existence and make life frivolous superficial and meaningless. Materialists are always concerned with the transitory and the temporary while a genuine spiritual outlook always emphasizes the absolute and eternal.

Most people who leave the religion they have grown up find it a gut wrenching experience.

Sorry for my lack of clarity. I ment leaving the religion.

Gut-wrenching experience? What - the leaving of the religion? Or being in that religion?
