Topic: Is religion necessary for humans? - page 20. (Read 6639 times)
Yes. In order for us to have a sense of salvation. To have something to hold on to when life gets hard. And to believe that there is someone we can share our devotion.
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.

REligion is something that means an act of following the rules or the laws and thw traditions of something a belief or a higher being. I think that religion is neccessary as this is the physical kanifestation of what you believe what you worship and what you are as a whole.
Yes,is religion lot of necessary for humans. It is the most important for humans life.because religions control a man of bad thing. Religion means a perfect rule this only god created for us.without religion human like a fish without water.
human without religion is like world without a sun. religions drives human to do positive things. it is the best way that can organize human society more than any other method.
I think religion is not necessary for people but the good way of life that they teach makes a man act more human because they know what is right and wrong and the fact that you believe in God you fear to do bad things.
In todays time, no, religion was used in the history to explain the unexplainable and to control people here and there, but today it is mostly used and serves the meaning of preserving a culture.
I don't think so, as far as i know no religion can save human from perishing because Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which by we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)
Religion does help some people and guide them in their life on how they live. Its necessary for the people who are superstitious
Apart from the fact that religions remind us of the existence of a Supreme being, it also curbs the bad behaviors of many individuals. That's to say, someone who would hurt people gets into religion and is totally transformed by belief.
Religion will remain an important part of life for a huge part of humanity for a long time. It helps to find strength in their weakest moments.
It is necessary. When it comes to that there is no exit from some situations only one thing can save us. It is God. Imagine like there is a small bug going from on corner of the room to another corner. You take it and for thr bug it is impossible. You are a miracle to bug. Miracle for humans is God. It is sometimes the only that is left to speak to.
With a religion, you know where to go when you're fall.
This can also be a bad thing. People will justify things and think it's gods will. Religion is good in such instances but very bad in others.
It is not necessary, but it is in human nature. It is in human's nature to serve and worship gods, but we don't know who to consider to be our own god. Before, people used to worship rocks, stone, trees, sun and every thing that supports life, they worship those things because they don't know who god really is. But nowadays, people have learned many philosophy and declared many different gods and goddesses that' why many religion are made by humans.
I would say it was in the human nature. Nowadays it is less and less in human nature to serve and worship gods. Many christians, and even muslims are now "believers" only because of tradition.
people have always been believing in a higher deity, and that's pretty normal. Back in the days, many scientific facts could not be explained or understood by most people, how would you explain a huge ball of fire arising in the sky on a daily basis, or water falling on the entire land/country for sometimes half an hour, and other times for weeks. How would you explain this lighting ball on the sky at nights, or this strange looking array of colors (rainbow) after a short rain period? These kind of things can be understood now, because they we've proven them and made many steps to scientifically get to that point. But back in the days, people needed a excuse to explain these kind of things, and the best excuse/explanation was a higher deity. If it wasn't Jesus, it would be something else, that would explain these strange effects (it's quite normal actually, as humans are "programmaned" to be curious and find solutions about things that evolve around us). Now that we know all these information, do we still need to use Gods as an excuse?
Religion does give people some guidance in life and helps them to become a better person so I agree that religion is very important in the modern world.
In my opinion religion is very important for mankind. Because the religion that leads us in life if humans have no religion knows what will happen in his life. Today there are many people who have no religion visible from ahlak he who like animals. In fact all religions do not teach about it.
Humans don't need religion. Religion is a tool devised by a bunch of intelligent people, to enslave the not-so-intelligent majority. And one thing I have noticed about religion is that the religious people tend to hold a lot of hatred towards the non-religious, which is even evident from your post. Here you are referring to the non-religious as animals.
With a religion, you know where to go when you're fall.
Besides it helps us to make our path straight. Although they say that religion is the mere reason behind war because of the different beliefs and ideals, I think it is up to people on what they want to see and think. It is just a matter of accepting and respecting ones opinion. I can say that religion helps me to be who I am. Sometimes if you want to do these things and it is kindof really bad, you will think of the things that religion had taught you.

how can you live without religion?
