It serves as a map to show us the way back home. Some paths are short cuts and some are long and winding roads, but all paths lead to the same destination.

Religion gives us all a reason to exist. No matter what our beliefs are, the ones we have chosen give us an explanation of what we cannot understand. It gives us a purpose, whether there is one or not.

because we were created with a need for spiritual guidance. the bible states that from the earth man was created,and he blew into his nostrils the breath of life and he became a living soul. and when man dies his body goes back to that in which he's from the dirt and his breath of life leaves his body and return to the creator of life. we were created by god with a need to worship god,just like we're created as a human being all of regadless of our nationality we all have the same needs;for food,water,shelter,and to be loved. when a child is born they have a need for parental supervision,likewise when we were created we too have a need for godly supervision. we live in a world that reflects the harsh reality of mankind alienating itself from god and we are living with terrible consequenses.wars,crimes,violence,hatred,high divorce rates,etc,-all are terrible thing we face because we don't listen to our fathers word.like our own parents their role is to protect us from harm,and all will go well for us only if we listen.

to keep all the people in the world sane and to believe in something and also to have discipline in life and to believe in something and have a purpose in life - have you ever met people without reliegion - they are always looking and searching for something in life - and they tend to cling to something - change from this religion to that and are on drugs and can be nasty people - in a nutshell for our sanity and discipline
