Question

H
Good answer, but like the rest of us you do not know the common goal. By al rights good or bad they are system, like adding

Answer 1

true

Answer 2

The answer is false because the definition offered is too broad and trifle.

Religion is a worship system revealed by God that Man might worship Him. Only four or five True Religions exist. The rest are sects and cults.

Society is... Well, society. An assortment of people(s) living, working and striving together toward a common goal, hopefully, the common good.

Dear DeckApe,

This is why I qualified my definition for society with the word "hopefully" toward the common good. If you already know the answer, why do you even post the question?

Answer 3

I listened to a new age guru tell his audience that there is no right and wrong. He said that what one person thinks is wrong, another person thinks is right. Nobody is right or wrong. There is no right and wrong. There were a fair amount of hecklers in the crowd, and they let him have it. They mocked and denigrated this guru. The guru smiled and said that his detractors had a right to say what they were saying. He said he could not get angry because there was no right and wrong. Actually that did not happen. Actually the guru got very angry and his pride was hurt. So he started telling us how honored he was in certain circles and how important he was. He judged his detractors harshly for doing wrong. Suddenly when real live confronted him, there was right and wrong. You ever hear kids play and say, "that's not fair?" They are appealing to a law they expect the other kids to know. Everyone's that way, adult and kids. When someone does a despicable heinous crime, the natural reaction is that this pervert should be tortured before he died. We all have this sense of justice. Despite our protestations that there are no absolutes we have this unspoken, unconscious law of right and wrong that we cannot get away from. Despite the argument of nurture versus natural, it is there. That law is there universally, even among atheists.

Answer 4

They are different. Religion has a pseudoscientific base to it, people created religion to help explain the world that they lived in, items that science did not have the answers for at the time (the sun, thunderstorms, hurricanes, etc).

Society was created, at the very basic levels, to help weaker people band together to take food from stronger ones.

Answer 5

You hit bullseye.
And some smart ar$$es eploit the system and have good life.
Just check in the news worldwide how many catholic priests, ( we don't know about high hierarchy persons, what is going on?) have been accused for paedophilia and the Vatican pays millions without question to cover the scandals.

Answer 6

Very True

Answer 7

False. Jesus Christ said John 14:6 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 10:10 I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Jesus did not teach morals. He teaches the way to eternal life. Not just how to live here on earth.

Answer 8

True. I don't believe you have to belong to any group or system to have favor with God.TIthing as we all know is a damaged system allowing corruption. this is not what God intended.

Answer 9

religion plays an important part in most societies - examples

Middle East - Muslim law
Israel - Juddism
Western Europe - Chrisitianity
North America - all

Answer 10

Basically true, but secular societies are founded on reality.

Answer 11

Religions and societies are, by definition, the systems we live by.

The additional phrase "nothing more" is meaningless.
