I have seen things that are very sad and regrettable, in the last few years many people have created many churches and are saying that they work miracles, that they are prophets and that they will heal people and that they will solve all people's problems when people go to church. the part that makes me sadder is that most people are poor, they have nothing to eat and they go to church to give the little money they have to the priest and the priest gets richer every day while people get poorer every day
but let's face the facts:
covid killed and it's killing hundreds of people a day, all the governments in the world at some point closed the churches, if the priests do miracles, why don't they come and cure covid?
there are still people who are blind and can't see that have a covid and the priests can't cure covid so they can't cure anything
Topic: RELIGION IT'S POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE IMPACT ON SOCIETY (Read 572 times)
In my society or the society at large Religion has been my basic concern, have been seeing the role religion is playing, the positive and negative aspect of it.
So today you will tell me the positive and negative impact of it in your society or Environment.
I go first,the positive aspect of it have seen is it brings unity among group of people, while d negative aspect of it is too much;
(1) so many people have been brain washed all in the name of Religion
(2) people spends more time to their religion which has affected so many lives
(3) people think religion will liberate them from poverty.

I think part 2 of your list is actually a valid point, in a good way. Religion demands of us to think about others and invest time in going to the mess and to pray. While some people find that lost time, it depends what we would do instead during that time. Instead of going to. Sunday church we would probably just stay in bed and don't do anything productive. Or what about praying in the evening, if we wouldn't do that we could go out drinking, which is also bad.
Religion in my opinion, holds us back as a human civilization because we are progressive species and religion is a regressive entity that tries to hold on to morals that are savage and immoral in the current standard. If a religion always has a say when there is an issue in the state, that's where the problem comes in.
With many religion now a days we can still see the negative impact of religion in our society. People are still hopeless, helpless and homeless, there still division or faction, and all kinds of mess and destruction, these could only b means that we need more than religion.. we need relationship to One True God the One who created the heaven and the earth and if we know Him the impact would be positive.

You are simply gaining experience... switching religions.
Gaining experience on what? switching religions?
I don't think so, cause I believe that religions exists because of the similarities in beliefs thus forming a group that shares it. That's what the religion like catholic, Islam or any other. And I respect their beliefs
You should not. Their beliefs are idiotic.
But I do understand your desire not to be killed by a religious fruitcake.
Yabut, that's part of your religion. And it won't save you from the final judgment.

Why do you think that Roman Catholic is fake? There are millions of people around the world that hold it as part of their religion... some a big part. Think a little. It's boring having always to explain things about life to you.
Oh I thought that individual religion is the real deal, as far as you've said it. Damnit.
That's right. Individual religion. Nobody can foist their religion on anyone else. Your religion of inexperience is still yours.
So inexperience is now a religion, I see
You said this^^. So either inexperience is part of your religion, or direct, intentional lying is.
I just clarify your sentence regarding inexperience being a religon. hmmmmm
Ooooops whose lying or whose not. Or maybe again you're wild guessing again.

1- Religious practice appears to have enormous potential for addressing today's social problems.
2- Strong and repeated evidence indicates that the regular practice of religion has beneficial effects in nearly every aspect of social concern and policy.
3- Legislators should seek constitutionally appropriate ways to explore the impact of religious practice on society and, where appropriate, recognize its role.

You should be able to figure out what kind of religion it is. Doubt if anybody else can.
But I'm incapable of figuring out what kind of religion it is. You should be able to tell me now, don't be shy.
Already told you. But let me say it again, real plain.
It's your own personal religion. The only way to know what it is, is to get inside your skull, and live your life with you... at least for a while. And that's too scary for me to even want to do for a tiny while.
Maybe your life experience will reveal your religion to you sometime.
Oh so everyone has their own personal religion, so Roman Catholic is fake, the same with muslim, and other existing "religions" out there. Or my interpretation is wrong. If it is, maybe clear it up ofor me

Religion were a way to keep peace and harmony in society when there were no rules or way to implement them. Clinging to imaginary gods created 1000s of years ago is so wrong. I still respect religion as a culture but there are many things that easily prove there exists no such god as assumed by many popular religion.
1. If there is god, what is it doing when the world is suffering from pain and injustice, what's the use of such helpless god who can't even do justice for it's followers?
2. If the god is powerful and above all of us, if it loves all of its sons and daughters, why does it ask to pray for it? Is god just another corrupt bureaucrat who just wants to listen people praising it? Why does it asks you to make other compel to follow it like a underworld gang (true for some religion)?
Even if there's a powerful and intelligent god, I'm quite sure it would be merciful enough to forgive and love every of it's children even though they question it's existence and whether they bribe it with prayers, chants, foods and offerings or not. The only way to pray to god would be with good actions, compassion and love.

I used to be religious when I was younger. As I grew older I saw people who use religion to justify discrimination of certain groups. I think many Christians are hypocrites and pick and choose which aspects of the Bible they want to follow. There is also something strange about worshipping a being who you cannot see and who cannot talk to you. Religion has held us back in many ways. There are some things which are not considered morally acceptable but they don't harm any third parties and there is no logical reason why we can't do these things.
Indeed, they are also very controlling in many different aspects such as the way you needed to be dress, the way you supposed to eat, the way you need to work, and many more. Never minding other religions that contradicts their owns.
In some instances, they discriminate other religions for having a different beliefs other than them, it is very toxic
One more little step, and your religion will be racism.
What kind of religion you are talking about, hmmmm
Anyways, respecting other peoples beliefs is something this religion uncapable of doing.

I know a truth that says...Religion is that is only acceptable and can be consider as one is ..taking care of the widows, orphans and one who keeps himself from being polluted by this world.. meaning to say.. no religion can really save one but only our true and personal Relationship with our creator -God, religion should help us bring out the best in us and use it for common good and brought positive impact to the people around us. That for me is a religion.
