What do you think about religion? What is your idea of the truth and rightious religion?

Answer 1

Nature!

Answer 2

I dislike religion, some more than others, some I respect. This is the main 4 reasons why I dislike it:

- Religion tells people what to believe. It tells people to follow its rules without exception. I'm a big fan of individuality and I think its extremely important that people think for themselves and form their own beliefs and not follow what someone else has written down and said is the correct way to live.

- Religion is almost like a business. Every person who has begun a religion has either become powerful and/or wealthy. They develop followers, people who will obey what they want done. A clear example of this is Scientology.

- Religion is the cause of much of world conflict. Because of religion these events (some old, some new) happened, all negative: 9/11, the Crusades which killed many, the Spanish Inquisition, the Holocaust, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that been going on since I can remember, the Jihad that religious terrorist groups have declared on the West.

- Religion is just another reason why nations from different parts of the world cannot get along. It divides people even more (note: I'm not for this idea of having everyone mixed together but I do think that because of religious beliefs it adds to the disagreements some nations/peoples have with each other

I know the religious will get very upset by my answer but before you hit "Thumbs Down", just take 10 seconds to think of what I've said. There is much truth in it. You have to admit that.

My truth? I believe in thinking for oneself and to follow moral rules that you make/follow yourself instead of following what someone else has said is right. It is so important to be an individual, a free-thinker and not follow what others have said.

Answer 3

Religion and gods are the end result of a failed search for truth by a very shallow mind, provided that any search was made at all instead of swallowing the pile of delusional bilge that was spoon fed to you as a child. Religion is the ultimate con, it is government protected, tax free and the product they sell doesn't have to be delivered until you reach a place that doesn't exist. No wonder so many people jump on this manured money wagon.

Answer 4

Those who worship the True God------
Base their teachings on the bible, 2 Timothy 3:16,17
Worship only Jehovah God, and make his name known, Matthew 4:10
Show genuine love for one another, John 13:35
Accept Jesus as God's means of Salvation, Acts 4:12
Are no part of the world , just as Jesus was no part of the world, John 18:36
Preach God's Kingdom as man's only hope. Matthew 24:14

Answer 5

There is no righteousness in religion, truth comes from the righteous, something religion does not have.

Answer 6

Religion is mythology. Truth will always be discovered in the realm of science, and if there is a "God" that's where "God" would be known and understood.

Answer 7

Truth and religion are not necessarily related.

Everyone's making stuff up, or repeating what they've been told.

In my opinion, the only honest answer is "I don't know"... and neither does anyone else.

Answer 8

Religion is of no value. It's an unnecessary evil. You can worship god without it.

Answer 9

As a Christian, I don't belong to a religion. Christianity is a relationship with God through Jesus. That is all the truth and rightousness I need.

Answer 10

I think faith is a cop out from rational thought and reason, I think faith should be heavily discouraged and critical thinking widely encouraged.
