Religion is nothing but a way of life. I believe in religion and I abide by its rules. This is my way of life. This religion will tell you that doing some things will prove to be fruitful to you and to others. Prayers are here to make you aware that you have to think of and fear God (the creator). This same religion prevents you to do bad things for example rape, adultery, etc. These bad things are qualified as sins and are not forgiven ever. If we follow Religion(whatever be the religion) the basic principles remain the same. There is one God. Only the visual appearance changes, since nobody has ever seen God. They have just imagined how he must have looked like.
If there were no religion on earth? There would be no rules, people wont have any limits, so nothing would be a Sin, and so there would be no law. If today people believe in religion, they have their limits, yet they commit sins and go beyond this limit, then imagine WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF NO RELIGION EXISTED?

You asked so here goes. God is an important part of my everyday life. Without faith I probably would have given up a long time ago. As for religion in general, I feel that you can talk to God anytime, anywhere it doesn't have to be done in a church, synagogue, temple, etc. Religious beliefs have been the cause of many wars during history. I say to each their own beliefs. For me God is very real and faith is what makes me keep going when I feel like giving up.

God- hes there in some way shape or form. I dont believe he created the earth and all living things, but I do believe there is a god. Faith- you have to have faith, no matter what you beleive. And religion- overrated. To much is placed on religion. Peope should be allowed to believe wha tthey want without fear of others. Religion is like hair color. What works on you may not work on me, but if it makes you happy, then go with it. And who says what religion is better and which one isn't right. You should be able to belive in what you want and leave other religions alone.

I used to think that God and religion were illogical. i have since changed from being a graduate student in Philosphy to wanting to study Theology. Its my personal belief that God and religion are necessary elements in my life.

Religion and sex are power- plays
manipulate the people for the money they pay
selling skin, selling god
the numbers look the same on the credit cards

God is great, faith is good, and religion (organized) is okay.

God and faith are concepts for the indivudual to pnder....
Religion is for the masses... after all that is why there are churches and then indivulism becomes a congregation...
My thoughts anyway...
