Why do people believe in religion?

[BADecker]

religion is a belief. when we have a stronger sense of confidence, we will always abide by all the rules and stay away from all prohibitions.
This is human nature are born in this world. This world was created by God.

Is there any evidence that the world was created by God?
People want to believe in something. But they do not question their causes.
From Bigbang to day, all processes can be explained without God. Can you prove the existence of God?

Big Bang is theory. This means that science has not proven that it is real. Even if science proved that a big bang could happen, then they would have to find the way to prove that this was the way the universe was for sure created. Seems to me that they are quite far from that.

Processes cannot be explained without God. Science law is cause and effect. Everything exists from the ancient past according to cause and effect. Scientists want big bang to be the great first cause... the causer of all other causes. Big bang is theory, but if it were real, it would be God. Why? Because it would have caused intelligence and life... things that cannot come about by accident, mathematically.

Further proof for the existence of God:

BADecker principle rule number 1:
"If a point of discussion does not meet criteria of one's own belief, then ignore the context and claim it is wrong".

Therefore, your proof is wrong, so please give me proof.

What is the theory? What is the scientific theory? You should investigate these concepts. According to you, gravity is not real in theory at that time.
Bigbang theory is a theory that can be explained experimentally. We do not know exactly what Bigbang was before. But research continues. I would recommend reading the "false vacuum" theory.

If something is not explained to you, it has to be a God. If you were living in the time of the vikings, you would have defined gods as the reason for the lightning. But today we can scientifically explain how thunderstorms happen.

[lovenhom]

People, therefore, look for something to give them peace. It's religion.

I agree

I asked the same question many times and the people's response was always the same: Have peace of mind

Living needs to have faith. So why can not believe in religion?

What theory what? Gravity is real. Gravity theory - the reasons for the existence of gravity, and how and why gravity works the way it does - are not real.

Big bang might have been done in the lab. Lab is not natural. And, even if BB is proven possible, this says nothing about the way things really happened in the past.

Science theory religion is so far behind theistic religion that it would be laughable if it were not so serious.

When science law and science fact are present, all the theories and ideas must bow to them. All I show is science law and science fact. You are trying to downplay science fact and science law. It won't work no matter how much you talk.

[Eternu]

There are many religious people on earth. Even the vast majority of the world believes in monotheistic religions.
And often they do not question belief systems. There are many people who have Christian, Muslim and Jewish beliefs.

Why do they still believe in religion. I can not understand why people believe in religions in the age when we can reach the information so quickly.

Belief has nothing to do with information and new technology or anything like that. Belief is something that person have inside them. It has been like that for so many generations, and it will continue to be for long in future. There are a lot of things that we do not know, or that we do not fully understand. But faith will live until people can say for certain that God does not exist, and maybe even than it will continue to live, just in other form.

[killgald]

Peope believe in religion for the fear of death, they need to know that something is after death like a paradise or a a penalty for a bad behaivor.

Religion attempts to teach you the best way to live in your slavery. Thus religion frees you more than not having religion.

Funny, devout believers are very poor and do not make decisions of their own lives ... just work hard to spread the word of God and the priests continue to increase their golds and lots of money



Where's the donation money?

That's why Spain, Portugal, and Italy have a bunch of empty churches. But the USA has growing churches, because the truth is preached there. The donations in the USA are mostly donations... not LDS, however.



EDIT: Thanks, btw, for your donations to humanitarian societies that actually help to feed starving kids.

[Rupok]

Religion is the religion of all people of the world. Religion reveals the right path to people, the fear of man works towards religion, so people refrain from all kinds of wrongdoings.

[iram3130]

Religion helps us to deal with our problems and show us numerous ways to live through them. Even if religion is a lie, Then its the best lie ever.

It may not be a necessity to the people but it gives a certain amount of strength. I'm talking about blindly following someone over a series of lies, am talking about a hope when you're down.

[Challenger2015]

I think that thus people try to avoid responsibility for bad decisions. When they turn to God they subconsciously feel the support and I hope that it will help them in their request. I don't believe in God and therefore don't understand these people. But it is their right and for me the most important thing to religion is not called to hatred.

[rizkyrz]

Because our religion can know the rules of life and know how to be ethical.

[Palmerson]

Because our religion can know the rules of life and know how to be ethical.

You must be a wild animal if you need a Bronze Age book to tell you what is moral or ethical.

Most stuff in the Bible is either ridiculous or flat out illegal.

Funny I agree, and what is illegal you found in the Bible? It seems to me that the Bible is just a historical fiction story about how evolved human relationships. I don't understand why she give such a value?

Oh, I don't know, killing, stoning, cutting off hands, plucking out eyes, slavery, genocide.  All of it is illegal today.

You want more examples? Here are some:

That doesn't stop cops, the Government, and the military from doing things like this. But the Bible speaks against doing them.

Yes you guys are totally right. Religion or believing can be a really powerful thing to help people get over some really bad and hard things. I have meet some people that had some hard time in there life, and they found great help in religion and teachings of same. And i do not mean blindly following either. They are really nice and good people, i am glad they found meaning to go on.

[fery1985]

When no one stands with you then it is your religion that stands with you and supports you. Many people are there who blindly beliefs in religion and hurt people in terms of religion which is wrong. Instead every religion is same which taught us to live a happy life and never hurts the sentiments of any another person.

Tradition?
Culture?
Society you live in?
The thing is many people grow up with a religious parents and as they grow up they've accumulated the same belief thir parents have and that why they have a religion. When they grow up it's up to them to realize what will they do or if they will change religion or believe in nothing. I'm a believer in God not just because I came from a religious family but because I feel that there is something Devine out there that can't comprehend by human understanding.

I'm sure that there are many more reasons why people believe in God.
For many people it's way of life, or very important part of life.
There are many new people joining churches every day.
Why?
Most of them feel ''empty'' from everyday daily routine, work, eat, sleep, and work again.
They feel that life is much more than just to work for money.
Don't forget that religion give us values in our life, absolute, unchangeable values.
In modern society everything is relative and changeable.
People search for something stable and absolute.
