Religion: Why is it Needed?

<< < (2/4) > >>

I had a feeling this would turn into religion vs religion... :(

For someone who religion does not weigh strongly at all in their life, like me, how is it important in every day life?  I haven't been to church in years, and it really hasn't affected me at all.

It always does.

Trauma-san:
Religion *ISNT needed.  It simply IS, because it exists.  Just like you.  We don't need you, but yet you're still here.  


Now; that's not a comment on whether or not you SHOULD be here... it's just a plain fact.  You are.  So does it really matter if you should be here, or not?  No, because either way, you're already here, no neccessity is evident.  

The same with religion.  It exists.  It doesn't matter if we need it or not, it's here.

+to control, repress, exploit, fool them

read Karl Marx and Nietzsche.. they on point:

Is man one of God's blunders or is God one of man's blunders?

I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct for revenge for which no expedient is sufficiently poisonous, secret, subterranean, petty -- I call it the one mortal blemish of mankind.
the same people wrote the bible that thought the world was flat.

"Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."
