Topic: Is religion necessary for humans? - page 13. (Read 6639 times)
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.
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.
A human without religion is a human without humanity.
I agree with you = ) Religion help us more belief in the life . Our life will be better if having religion .
I think religion is a part of human, even ppl who are against religion are like some kind of cultists 
I agree with some points in this thread that religion is actually really helpful and solves mental problems.

For me, religion is the path of spiritual development. This is an opportunity to answer many questions of the universe. The way of knowing the universe.
And, it does not matter which way a person goes, if this is not only a path of destruction. Someone knows the world on the path of paganism, someone on the path of Buddhism, someone on the path of Christianity. It is important only that a person does not put himself in the cage of laws and postulates. It is important that a person, with the help of the religion that he considers closest to himself, learn to harmonize with and enjoy the world around him, and not be afraid of retribution; learned to live and breathe a full breast, and not feel guilty.

Religion is a help for people who are weak and do not know how to make independent decisions. For strong and independent people, religion is more entertainment, a show. And the most cunning and crafty people go to work in religion.
This religion is very necessary in life. Life without religion in the world tend to be driven, faith kepercayaaan each produced many disputes, the world will get war. A religion that will guide us to obtain peace in the world and the hereafter.
Religion is certainly necessary for some people... for some humans they just need something to believe in or they lose their minds. The phrase "Opium of the people" comes to mind, though religion is certainly not necessary for everyone. If you need something to believe in to help you get through life, then great and you do you, but not everyone needs this. I believe in freedom of religion but religious people certainly shouldn't be preaching or judging others and certainly not forcing their beliefs on people or killing others in the name of it.
For me,Religion is necessary for human because religion can inspire people and believing gives hopes ,the courage and strength they need to confront difficulties in life..An it also helps in keeping order in the society.
If a pearson is sufficient unto himself I think he will be good. Some people look for support and find God. And they imagine that He helps them so it's good for them.
I think so. I believe that this is the very foundation of the morality of a person. It is where he or she gets to know whether the act he or she is doing is good or bad. It serves as a life guideline to live a good life for ourselves and for others as well. The only problem is different religions have different beliefs also.
I think it is necessary because religion brings us hope and belief in life . The lives of so many people are better when they believed in religion .
Of course Religion is like our guidance to what we believe in. Some have practices that others doesn’t have. But with these practices, it kept them going and alive. Sure we need it but what we need the most is the relationship we have with God more than our religion itself.
Religion is necessary to those who believe in God's existence but those who are not then it is not necessary. Religions is where its started the belief, maybe they say religion can't save you only your faith can save you. But how those the faith started it is in entering a church, "Considering as there is a religion in that",. in the Bible, it was written that " faith without action is dead."
I think it's necessary for humans . It give us beliefs in life
When you have faith, you will do better
When you have faith, you will do better
Yes it is necessary, a person that have no religion he have no God to follow..
For me it is not, because no religion can save you, the only thing that matters is your faith to God. But if you dont belong to a certain religion, you might dont know what to beleive and you dont havea ground to stand.
For me, religion is not necessary because it was only made by those people who want to profit from it. They just invented religion, they divided people by inventing religion. As long I have faith in our creator, I will be saved.
