Do you think RELIGIOUS is a GOOD Or BAD?

Question

I realise some religious lead to war and violence to domestic conflicts and such. How it be like living in world without religious and why does people invent relgious in the first place?

Answer 1

We are born with a desire to know our creator. However, we are also born with a desire to be gods in our own lives, to disobey. So we create religions to justify the way we want to behave. True religion is seeking what He wants, not what we want. And the result is that we become better people, not worse. If religion makes you hate, kill, steal, whatever is against God's good nature, than it's humanism, not Godliness.

Answer 2

All religion teaches you good and only when one's mind is polluted by extremism, then the religion has gone bad. My religion, Christianity teaches me good. Most of us would like to have a goal, someone or something to lead us on the right path thats why religion was invented in the first place.

Answer 3

I do not believe that religions cause war... People do.
Religion may be agood cover up or explanation, but people love to fight each other and would do it either way.

They create religion and faith to explain the things that they can not understand and to give them purpose and direction. Without religion they would still fight, and it is not possible to not have a culture who creates a belief system.

Answer 4

Religion is what people make it out to be - it can stand for good or evil - it's the people who control the religion that makes the decision for it to be good or bad!@~

Answer 5

Religions are a mixed bag.
They cause wars, true.
On the other hand, they fill
a void in many a life.

Answer 6

No good or bad for religious, only good or bad for human being.

Answer 7

GOOD in the past. BAD now overall.

Answer 8

it's good, unless you're the type who gets all scary and end-times about it.
