Religion in the society

[verita1]

I consider myself lucky because I believe in God. I received my religious belief from home later I went to church to complete my religious education. I am Catholic and I respect all religions because they are based on one God, I can be friendly and share my beliefs with them without fanaticism.

The sad thing in my opinion are people who do not believe in God, it is difficult for them to make them understand that God exists.
There are things that happen on earth and in the universe that still have no explanation and come from God.
If someone is an atheist please believe in God because he exists, he manifests himself in many ways, you know that he is with you especially when you suffer from any disease and you leave them in his hands.

I describe it this way because once I got sick I didn't have many financial resources, just a treatment I felt very sick and I said to myself if I don't heal with this I don't know what I'm going to do, and I asked God a lot for my health and I felt the healing hand of his son Jesus.
My testimony may sound unreal but I felt my healing that way, perhaps it was the power of my faith, but I felt the presence of Jesus one night when I asked him to heal me.

But lately religion has been a mess you know, most people use religion for their own selfish interest....life with religion is something else, Life without it we wouldn't have been at this stage of life.

Of course we wouldn't. But we cannot say we would be more primitive. It would be different - better in some way and worse in some other, but impossible to evaluate as a whole, because there are so many variables in a such a long time. But IMHO it would be better, because of middle ages and christian negative influence to education.

It is often possible to see so many contradictories in catholic statements. In one hand you are trying to convince us you are not fanatic and you respect other religions. But in other hand you consider existence of people who do not believe to your god as sad and you are trying to persuade them for your own religion (without any rational arguments, of course). As an atheist, I do not consider this behaviour as a respectful, not even tolerant. It is just one step to force people to one right religion.

I come from catholic family and christianity is strongly engrained in society in my country - I know christians very well. They tell you there are things with no explanation, but they didn't forget to mention that they (of course) know how to explain that things. They consider others as inferior stupid wretches and manifest themselves as superior people, predestined by their god to enlighten others. And call this as respect for other opinion.

IMHO religions that consider as a holy duty to spread around the world are fanatic somehow... by design, it is coming from their essence. But it is not surprising - all this come from ancient history when religions started to be used as a tool for spreading political power (often by using violence).

Sometimes people do say the world be a better place without religion. Because how people take religion too serious , so if you are not of the same religion which they belong they have nothing to do you. Would the world be a better place without religion? Has region not play any role in our society.

Many people make religion as a form of hope from life. make peace from the religious side. which I believe all religions have a concept in the name of peace. maybe their interpretation is too far and extreme that makes it like that and we have to blame the person not religion. Let people live their own beliefs.

I'm against religions and also an Atheist myself. They were formed in order to explain basic common knowledge, which could be proved using science. Stephen Hawking had said, that there's no way to prove that God doesn't exist, however, science makes believing in God pointless.

This only applies if the science we are talking about is the well known "real science", but there is social science right now that makes believing in something, somehow increases the capability of a person. For some instances, it can somehow relieve someone from being alone and left-out.

In my opinion, religions sparked a lot of hatred between nations (Or other religions) and were the main cause of war. (See Jihad, as a modern example, or Crusades)

Don't state it "in opinion" when history states a lot of wars and battles due to differences in beliefs/religions. It is a fact.

The world would definitely be a better place without them.

If we use logic, there will be no world without actual religion. There will be atleast one (1) specific religion that a "ideal world" may have. Cause religion is something about a social construct that if someone believes into something, there is this enticing force that drives us to join what he believes in, and without contradicting force, we all will be force to believe in one same thing.

That is correct, it's actually a fact that plenty of wars were started or had something to do with religion, like I mentioned previously. Personally, I never had the need to believe in something that can't be proved to exist. Nonetheless, I find it pointless, even in dire situations to even refer to "God", it would be a hypocrisy, can't recall doing it once in my lifetime.

What you're describing could also be a placebo effect, your faith can actually make you into believing that God actually did something, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm not here to argue about the existence of God, however, most situations can be scientifically explained. Science will admit if it's lacking the knowledge to explain something, while theists will simply claim that it's "God".

I think the purpose of religion is to unite people, to love and understand each other and to live harmoniously. But because we have different ideas and beliefs and we are given free will that is why there are many religions created that can sometimes lead to conflict. For me, in order to achieve a better place to live in, we should just follow the golden rule and respect everybody regardless of which religion they believed.

Exactly,you are very correct on your opinion,religion was there from the beginning and it will still be there no matter what,all we have to do is to have tolerance.Being able to tolerate each and accommodate each other's behaviours,attitudes and different beliefs is what can make us be together,and we'll be able to live in peace.There are different religions all over,so the government should give freedom of worship so as not to force anybody against his belief.

Religion is not responsible for the bad state the world is but those bad people who practice the religion. Every religion preach peace and love but it depends on the practitioners to do them or not. We have good and bad Christians, like we have good and bad muslim, good and bad heathens. So it is not a religion thing but people problem. If everyone keeps to the rule of their religion the world will be a better place.

There is no "with religion and without it." Everybody has religion. The major difference is that some people call their religion, religion... while others don't. The bigger the stink you make about your religion not being a religion, the stronger you become with your religion of non-religion-talk.

I will make it easy for you.  Since you are craving for it.

Why talk about logic and reason all of a sudden? They are part of essentially every religion. Or does  your ROLF mean that you don't like logic and reason? At least that would clarify, a little, why you talk the way you do.

I don't think you will ever understand how to think logically.  Religions are based on faith, not reason.

Why talk about logic and reason?  Because your responses are incoherent babbling, outright lies, or complete nonsense.

Region is very powerful and many religious people and not giving any space for people who are not in there religion to make a say when it comes to there personal life which to me looks irrational. Religion should be embraced but not in a way that affect the society with a mind set of same people doing different things which almost lead to religious conflicts. I think we need to say no to religious crisis.

In way religion has play some role in the society, there are some people who lived a kind of bad life , they got repented through religion. Religion gave them a good life

[dondonk]

Religion teaches us to be kind to everyone. save and love fellow human beings and the universe. not to fight each other and make riots.

In my own opinion, there are two important things that keep the world going
Football and Religion, religion makes people see those of the same religious
with them as brothers and sisters, hence contributing in making the world a
Better place.
