If you can live without (like me), just go ahead.
Religion is for those who need something to believe, some guide line or some answers to questions about life. It's easier to believe than to find your own answers...

1. Why religion? If you do not have a religion you are just following the rules of law and seeing the senators we have doesn't appear to be a satisfying set of rules.
2. What sense does religion make? Plenty if you actually do the research into the religion. (Yeah, blind faith but blind faith doesn't mean you can't immerse yourself in the religion.)
3. Is it enough? If you are actually asking this question I am going to say no.

Some people need that sense of discipline in their lives, because they can't discipline themselves. Some people feel overwhelmed by everything life has to offer and need something to believe in to calm themselves in the belief that "everything will be okay and taken care of for them".
Then other people can actually think for themselves and have the ability to cope with things when life gets tough. Those people typically aren't all that religious.

i think religion is essential to lead a good life. To my beleif God created mankind and revealed divine guidance to the chosen persons for leading a peaceful life. God is the true judge of our deeds. For instance man invented computer and if the computer is out of order the computer itself cannot fix the problem. In similar fashion God created the mankind and He is the best judge of our deeds. Therefore He sent His messangers from time to time to Guide the mankind how to lead a peacful and poius life. The guidance revealed to the chosen persons is called religion.

Religion gives us the answer of the three "unanswerable" questions:
1. Where did we come from
2. What is our purpose
3. Where are we going
I think it makes alot of sense because I think many people would like to know the answers to these.
Religion is not primarily for morality but rather to answer these three questions.

Of course it is enough. But they want you in thier club. I has to do with something called "tithe" meaning money of course.
Religion is big buisness based on imagination and myth.
Nothing more.
Anyone who says "no it's not enough" is a hypocrite, or a typical christian. Take your pick.

religon will send peeps straight to hell... religon is man made. Salvation is a free gift and it's a personal relationship with God thru Jesus Christ. He is the only way to Heaven.

More than enough for those who love you. Not nearly enough for those who wish to control you -- they're the ones who need religion, not you.

Religion is supposed to be the method you choose to worship God.
