Topic: Is religion necessary for humans? - page 6. (Read 6872 times)
American psychologist Steven Reiss believes that the power of religion in its many facets and the ability to give us what we aspire to. It satisfies our 16 basic needs, which the psychologist has formulated as follows: power, independence, curiosity, approval, order, economy, honor, idealism, communication, family, social position, revenge, love relationships, food, exercise and peace. This list of Steven Reiss and his colleagues were made by conducting a survey among several thousand people. These 16 basic needs, according to the Flight, constitute our personality. Their combination and balance make our personality unique.
I dont think we need these things. It creates discrimination in community and communal harmony
Yes! Religion is very important to human. It does guide us into the right path.
Of course religion is important... Why? Becaiuse if we have no religion we will be dauntless... We will act as what we want only and therefore we will not have a control to ourselves...it does not matter to us if we hurt someone because religion itself serve as our unity and love not only for ourselves but also to everyone...
Yes. Religion is the most important things in human life. Religion also make someone better than before, they know all the things that they dont know before.
Religion inspires people to fight on and not to give up. Believing actually gives people hope, the courage and strength they need to confront the difficulties they face in life.

Generally not, but through the years it gave hope to people and sources to inspiration. Still people find salvation in religion
IMO, religion is one of the worst things that has ever happened to the humans. It has caused the deaths of hundreds of millions of people in each and every continent, and it has kept the people in an uneducated and retarded state for many centuries.
A real human doesn't need any religion. he is happy with what god has made him and placed him in.
i think religion values, but not the fraud nowadays religion. The ancient type that occurred purely without any conflicts
In the modern world of science religion still values because religion is the way to keep a person's mind cool and focused on his motive
no. because a person doesn't need something to believe in to overcome the challenges he faces
Needless to say, religion is a necessity of a part of life. Where, we will be led to be good human beings for the world. Not just physical health is important, spiritual also requires health.
think that religion makes a person follow the wrong way. some difficult answers find very easy answers in religion. but on the other hand, it gives hope and the source of will and happiness
I think that in general it is a great source of power and will to millions of people, so yes, it is necessary. We don't live in the middle age, when the church had taken control over every part of society, if you remember, these ages were cold Dark ages...
Yes, religious is necessary for human because of the way we now see things, there is believe that there is God and also because of the things that is happening nowadays.
yes , i agree and believe thay there is God to guide our way in our daily lives.
Yes.it's necessary so that in order for us live meaningful.
Sometimes it depends on how we can deal with our religion.

Necessary for survival? I doubt it. I've known of people who are almost as old as dirt and they're atheists. I've also known of people that right as they were baptized into the religion they immediately died. So religion as a survival tool is far from it. As a social limiter, religion is a perfect tool for it. Religion actually teaches a community to treat everyone fairly, even if you're strong or smart you have to treat the weak and stupid well. I think without religion, a society of strong will devour the weak.
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.

I think it still is.
Religions are invented or established to maintain Order and to keep people in line. There are bad sides of it but there are good ones too. Bad things about it are..
Number 1,Profiteering. We all know that many religions are only established because of that. Its being utilized for ambition and for money to get rich.
Number 2, Religion killed more people than world war 2 casualties.
Holy crusades,islamic holy war. Ethnic cleansing.Thats a fact.
Number 3,Religion was used for abuse of authority and power.
Number 3,blind faith. To follow a religious leader or an ideas no matter how bad or twisted.
I am a christain and i believe in god but not on the institution i am part of or to an individual who tells me what to do.
The only good ones they created are...
Moral Values. They taught you to be Compassionate,kind,to sacrifice and to love people even enemies.
Because you believe in God you developed faith and it keep you from commiting evil acts.
no it isn't. but for some people it gives the second breath. it gives power and something to rely on. religion is still spread worldwide it means that it is neccesarry for people. and let it be, just we have to careful so religion does not take control over evcerything and especially it doesn't commit any unacceptable
