Religion: Why is it Needed?

(1/4) > >>

Entreri117:
This is NOT a thread denouncing god, praising atheism, disproving god, or any other thing like that.

I simply wanted an answer to a question from people who are religous.  Why is religion necessary?  Why is god necessary?  Why do you believe what you believe?

PS: I have a feeling this will turn into science vs god thread, but please know I have no intention of that whatsoever.  I simply wanted religious people to answer my questions.

I have a feeling this thread is going to go nowhere fast.

Some people believe there is a God others believe that were here for no purpose. simple as that. its just about your faith and what you believe.

The Noble Qu'ran states

"You have not believed until you are inclined to carry out what has been revealed."

Every prophet (Noah, Moses, Abraham, Jesus, Muhammad, pbta, etc., etc., etc.) starting with the first prophet, Adam, has revealed that there is nothing worthy of worship but God, that God is 1, and to do good deeds.  We must be inclined to carry out that revelation if we wish to be among those who believe and submit to the will of God.  

The Noble Qu'ran states

"And look at the moon how it is submitted and follows it's ordained course."

The sun, the moon, the angels, the tree's, the grass are all in submission to Allah and they do not deviate from their perscribed course.  Man too, can submit his whole life to the will of God as the prophets have taught us to do.  The last Prophet, Muhammad ibn Abdullah (salla alayhi wa salaam) completed the revealed messages and taught us how to surrender every aspect of our lives to Allah.

Again, as the Qu'ran states...

"You have not believed until you are inclined to carry out what has been revealed."

******************

-Religion is nessacary if you want to learn and to know how to remain in a permanent state of submission to the will of the Creator.  God is in no need of us, but we are in great need of his mercy.

-God is nessacary for without God nothing would be here, he is the first and the last, he is the creator of all things, the Arabic word for God is Allah.

-I believe in Islam because Islam is the natural way of life of man, and it is not associated with any person, place, or thing.  It is natural, it is truth, and living in submission to Allah is the best and most rewarding thing that one can do.

O great now im gonna read a bunch of quotes from the koran. Dont get me wrong i respect peoples decisions of religion. The koran teaches hate

(9.123) O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you,
 
(9.29) Fight those who do not believe in Allah,
 
(9.14) Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace, and assist you against them and heal the hearts of a believing people.

I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
(8.39) And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah;

Not to mention the Koran repeatedly contridicts itself. ill show examples if youd like.

please if you would like to explain what ive posted please do id like to hear an explanation. Although i dont know how "fight them, allah will punish nonbelievers through you" could be misinterpreted.
