Do you really care about religion?

[GunMaster G-9]

Just wondering... how many people really care about religion?

I believe that there is some sorta God... and it is just some sorta force that keeps things running in the universe... and nobody will ever find out what it is until they die and the whole point of human existence is to find out why we exist. Religion was just created to justify why everything is created. So thats why i think there is no point praying and going to churches etc.

I think there is way more things to do then throw all your time into religion. and it creates too many wars and fights.

true true

i dont care about religion but i respect other ppl religions,it's all good tho

yeh sometimes i see older people in religious communities... who are sooo devoted to religion etc. like all day everyday... i think when the world gets more westernized religious people will slowly die out.

if you waste all your time worry about the afterlife (a life nobody knows about or any facts about)... you wont be able to achieve much in your current life (a life which is real and infront of you... make as much as you can out of it)

At the same time there is a morality to it all. You don't need to be religious to be moral, and I probaby have longer debates at the end of the day with those street corner guys than you do, but I'll never take away anything from anyone just trying to make the world a better place. There are some very bad, and down and out people out there. Some of them continue to to bad things, some find peace in religion. It may be a crutch for some of the low-lifes who only find God after they've hit rock bottom, but I'd rather they be in church or on the corner handing out bibles than on the streets comitting violent crimes and what not. The point is that I'm sure some of those people out there on friday night have really had an experience where they really turned someone's life around by meeting them on the street the way they did (I don't mean the one meeting on the street but that would have been the starting point), and there is a something great about really helping someone out that makes a lot of people not have anything more fun to do on a Friday night.

We don't know, but that's what people call faith.

man i dont believe i have to go to church just to prove to god that i worship/love him..man same goes with other religions as well. God is omnipotent, correct? So he knows if im good or bad, and whether i appreciate my surroundings and not take them for granted, and if i also care about people in worse situations. See, im happy i was given a good moral background and logic, yet other people might need a church if they dont have the will power or strength to make decisions, so i dont see it as a something stupid, there is a purpose, yet i know i dont need it in my life if i know the difference between good and bad.

As for religion, same thing goes, i believe its still good to learn about the New Testament, Old Testament and Koran and various other religious doctrines, but its not a ticket to heaven, your actions are the ticket to heaven, these books just guide if you (if you filter some of the crap through it and also understand the logic behind it) need help in life. If you constantly perfect yourself morally day by day and bettering yourself, then you dont need these books because more good is comin out of you than it will be from these books.

I don't feel the need to criticize people who follow a religion, cause its there choice, and if i see them as a good person then im happy for them and respect their choices cause its working.

The concepts and morals taught in religion are really good. Now if only everybody that says they follow religion sticks to the message that a higher intelligence gave us the world would be a paradise. Its quite hypocritical to wage war over "thou shall not kill".. The religious texts teach us to love one another and that we are all equal. That is the important part not all the bullshit dogma involved. The prophets are just the messengers, the message is whats important.

Listen to Canibus,  "Secret of the Cosmonauts"... He and I see eye to eye and hold similar beliefs.

I ain't gon' front, I'm a heathen right now. I haven't been to church in a couple years. When I was a kid I went every Sunday with my family, with my Mom, Stepdad, Brothers. When I turned teen, I used to go every other Sunday with my Grandmother, Grandfather, Cousin and an Aunt and Uncle. I guess shit happens though.

Personally I do care about religion, and my Grandmother talks alot about it. She knows alot, alot, alot of shit. It's crazy. I believable in God though. My Grandmother always gots them wise old sayings, about life and so on, mostly religiously related. So I definitely listen to her about that kind of shit.

Anyways I think it is good to have a faith and I think it's a good thang to believe. I mean not just by going to church neither, ya know. But honestly, even when you don't want to go to church, but go anyways, when you get out of that place you always feel good. And sorry there's no denying that. Everybody, no matter what religion you are, everybody leaves church either happy or with a smile on.

Wrong.

I can only speak for myself, but churches and religion are emotionally wrecking. They force human beings into unnecessary submission and keep the masses oppressed. Just thinking of an institution that forces that upon their people, drives me sick. The world would be a better place if people started believing in philosophy instead of the common religious doctrines that wipe away personal judgement. "It was written, therefore it is" is some of the foulest stuff ever thought of.

Yes, we all need morality and mental strength, but you definately don't need religion for that. Not to down anyone with religious beliefs, but that's just my take. With that being said, yes I really do care about religion. I strongly disapprove of it.
