Topic: Is religion necessary for humans? - page 7. (Read 6816 times)
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
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.
Of course, with religion we can control our behavior towards others, or with religion we can avoid the actions that harm others.
As well as with religion we can interact with the Almighty.
A human without religion is a human without humanity.
Ues youre right without relegion our must be incompleted because faith is the number one assets to keep as alive and make a possible way to the heavens gate.
Everybody has religion and it's quite good for every human but the sad thing is religion will not bring us to eternity even the Lord Jesus Christ don't present to us the religion but He wants us to have proper relation with God. whatever religion you have fine but it is of great help if we will read the holy bible and obey what the Lord is telling us to do.
Religion in itself, in an archeological and sociological point of view is a way to explain what is inexplicably unexplainable and to actually bring order. It is also used as a way to shelter the weak and regulate the strong. A way to distribute wealth and dictate norms. Pragmatically, religion is not needed by humans since it doesn't contribute anything for survival. But as a necessity to actually bring order and staunch chaos then it is quite necessary.
Religion is necessary.. Because people will feel safer knowing there's a God watching over them at all times.Without religion people would be out of control.Kids would be scared to go places.People would be killing each other and even killing those who are in there family.{A family who prays together stays together}.Some people feel safer knowing there's more than one person watching over them so religion is necessary without it we wouldn't have some of the freedom we have today.
Yes,religion is necessary Because people will feel safer knowing there's a God watching over them at all times.Without religion people would be out of control.Kids would be scared to go places.
Report Post Yes,I believe religion is needed for human survival. Though religion has and can be the initiation of conflict,it can also help us.
Religion is very necessary for humans who born to be slaves and just need somebody relay on. The call this thing God and making him happy but i am not sure he exists.
To be honest there is nothing like religion. It was just a means to destroy unity among people by Kings
My Opinion is Yes, Because its help to us to control feelings
For humans yes it is important to have a religion. Because religion is the main source of faith of all the people in the world. Religion makes us humans to believe in our gods and godesses. They worship and praise them in a way their religion teaches their people. Religion also is the way to bind people together with the same faith in god.
religion is a belief to worship. different religion is not an excuse. religion for the bastion of the heart so that man should act appropriately
Religion is a main thing in the society because who cant control from the rules and regulations they can be controlled from the religion.
A dead human isn't really a human anymore.
If you don't believe in any higher form, the you don't believe in a presidential type of governance? Leaders are elected so they could guide their followers to success, so as religious forms such as God. They are believed to guide towards humanity. Beliving in God is quite difficult sometimes, faith sounds better though.
Without religion surely the human would be brutal, for me religion is a barrier above the human passions, who can do anything to satisfy it, if no religion is definitely man will marry his own mother, religion is the rule of god directly, through the revelation received by the prophet
