Topic: Is religion necessary for humans? - page 12. (Read 6879 times)
'Twas necessary long time ago, nowadays science and art give people everything they were seeking in religion.
Religion is for people who have to self direction If you were born with the "fear of god," you would think that it is necessary. If you were not born with the "fear of god," you are more likely to think more logically and not "spiritually." You are more likely to realize that religion and "gods" don't make any sense, making it not necessary for human survival. Religion doesn't make sense. I am not religious. In fact, I'm not even a spiritual person. And despite this, the two values I hold the most dear are compassion and empathy.
in my opinion it is more important to have the principles of decency, because people often hide behind religion when they commit bad deeds
To be honest, I believe that humans do not necessarily need religion because having religion does not really mean that you are "saved". It really depends on your relationship with God and how you treat your neighbors. It is a matter of how you perceived good and avoid doing evil. Yet, having religion is not bad. It can be used as your guide to live a better life.
I am an adherent of GOD. Also, I don't constrain my convictions on anybody. I spread the news, yet I regard the through and through freedom that my GOD has given to everybody. However, in the event that you consider it, perusing the book of scriptures regardless of whether you don't trust it, improves you a man. It does when you take in every one of the lessons you have perused,. Complying with his ten instruction won't do you any mischief. Rather, it influences you to wind up plainly a gift for others. Also, this can just improve things. I don't see anything incorrect in accepting what the book of scriptures educates and complying with the expressions of GOD. I don't comprehend why a few people truly despise GOD so much, yet I won't compel myself any longer to get it. Possibly there are simply individuals that legitimize the wrong they do in saying that the commandments are horse crap from a bologna conviction.
Religion is not necessary for us human because religion won't save us but our faith does. I believe that all religion have only one God and we are all created by Him. As long as we have a strong faith with Him and we believe that He is always with us we can do all things that are impossible. When we have a strong faith, all of our problems, anger, anxiety, sadness will be gone because we strongly believe that all things are possible because of Him!
The world would be much better without it.
One less reason for wars. Religion is the reason for most wars.
Would remove alot of stupidity from education. Some treat the bible as history wich is bs
Better healthcare. Some doctors are superstisious morons that wont do some medical things because of their imaginary friend in the sky.
The list of things that would be better without religion is endless

IMO, religion is not something which is necessary for the humans. There are more than a billion atheist/non-religious people around the world, and their numbers are rising. None of these people feel like there is a need for religion.
For example in the time of the USSR, religion was banned for a long time, and people lived normally.I think people need to believe in something... Someone chooses God, someone believes in fate, I'd prefer to believe in love, in kindness, in people and move towards harmony.

It depends. If religion causes division, then it is not a good thing. But if religion builds us up and strengthens our faith, teaches to love others, respect them and have compassion for them, then religion is good.
I'm not comfortable using religion but i think believing in God and submitting to him is necessary
Of course it is. You have to have some point, strict point, which will hold you on the feet, but my explanation of religion is very wide, I see religion in prays of good health to my family too. So it depends on how you look at it.
Now there are 4 questions in life: Why I am here, What is right and wrong?, What brings me meaning?, What happens with me when I die?
There is no hope without religion
There is no hope without religion
I do not think that this is so important for a person 
Without religion it is possible to live. Just religion helps some people cope with difficulties, and not solve them. Hope for someone there in the sky, instead of what would solve the troubles. This is the lot of the weak. Hoping for someone else is the easiest.

of course religion is indispensable by humans.Religion is a force that unites,binding and maintaining the existence of a society.The purpose of religion is build his soul to be character with perfect manners both with his God and society.all religions are perfect because it can lead his people to behave well and right and justified.
Yes it is necessary because it is a way of reminding us that God exist. Religion also is a belief that serves as guide in good and bad. It is important in everyone's morality. But not everyone is complying to it. It still depends on the person of how he choose to be religious or not.
It is not necessary, but those who feel weak and need faith can believe in the existence of god. But if you are strong-minded, then you will do much better without the harmful influence of religion. After all, a lot of the religious clergy tend to be perverts (at least here in India). I have heard reports about bishops molesting choirboys and imams molesting madrassa students.

Those who consider that human beings do not need a religion, are those who claim that there is no scientific evidence of God's existence, therefore, many people might be believing in something that is simply not real.
Another argument is that religious people have imposed a truth that may not be true, generating a whole system of false beliefs, prohibitions and rigid norms of behavior that have sometimes become excessive.
Those in favor of religion believe that their faith gives meaning to life and their beliefs drive them to be better people, therefore religion would provide many more benefits without doing harm.
RELIGION:
Is religion really necessary?
Religion is a system of human activity composed of beliefs and practices about what is considered as divine or sacred, both personal and collective, existential, moral and spiritual.
BELIEFS:
A belief is an idea that is considered true by the person who professes it.
Well explained this many people including myself we wonder: is it necessarily a belief agena my truth? And therefore should I become part of their system of practices ?.
THE INDIVIDUALITY OF THOUGHT:
In my personal case, I have come to think that there is nothing more healthy than the individuality of thought in terms of these issues, many people go there condemning others to a future full of suffering and pain in hell or the open for no Practice their beliefs, many have lost their homes and possessions most prized by fanatics who have filled their heads with "beliefs" and ideas agenas to theirs ...
The method used in many of the cases:
THE FEAR,
A clear example:
Pepito believes in a god or a higher being, he has his own vision of that being and is happy, sleeps peacefully, lives happy and knows what is good and is bad, (because let's face it: we all know that he is good and that he is Bad, we do not need a manual to identify this or in most cases it is so), until one day Peptio is met with a person who tells him not to go to church, not to read the bible, not to praise God, Not to give a tithe, and not to follow literally the thousand and one tips that the bible has and even those who contradict themselves, will go to hell and be judged severely by God. Since that day Pepito goes to church, he lives in fear, and is constantly harassed with feelings of guilt every time he makes mistakes ...
Now, is it happy pepito? Maybe the answer is: NO
People should be free to believe and think as they like, if we analyze things there are many religions and look, has the Hindu people been destroyed by God for believing in ganesha? Are Buddhists the victims of the lack of love of a creator ? Are simple questions with obvious answers, the answer is NO, these are people who with other points of view and other religions have obtained happiness or spiritual rest, why can not we be happy believing our way? Because they do not have their own god, or else they do not have a god.
RELIGIOUS MANIPULATION:
Religion to this day has been a system of manipulation of masses rather than a cult of love, where the believer is exploited financially, manipulated mentally, and their own beliefs are demonized, turning them into a means to produce panic to the population. The most clear is the holy inquisition, the enrichment of many Christian pastors, and the deprivation of individual freedom of thought in many alternative cults.
Regardless of the belief, people should always ask themselves in their lives if this makes them happy, if it makes them happy: Go ahead, they will do well, but if not why stay oppressed?
CONCLUSION
Be free, think, reason, if Christians say that God gave free will because he would punish us for using it ?, many Muslims were sold the idea that we must die for God and that is why so many people commit suicide in their name In wars to reach their love, the Jews are made to believe that they are the chosen people and that there is of the others then? And you know why? Because it is not really God who dictates this, it is MAN, it is not good to be oppressed by the ideas of others if they harm us.

If you're talking about as individuals, i don't think religion is necessary for humans. Religion nowadays aren't supposed to be called religion. They preach goodness yet, they compete of who speaks the best. Their deeds contradict their own teachings. On the other hand, if you're talking about an entire humanity. Yes, it is necessary. I mean, religion must exist even if we like it or not. It's been a tradition for centuries and it has been a part of our daily living. They are part of the cycle to keep the world in its balance.

Yes it is, however, what matters is our personal relationship and our faith in God. We may just have confusions about religion because of the difference in each belief. Some religions will also help us with our faith and might help us know more about God. Through them, we may also get closer to God, some may also bring us more confusion so we must be wise in choosing religion.
At current times, religion is not needed certainly, but meditation certainly needed to keep a quiet and clean mind.
