Yes, I've thought about that a lot. I think it stems from the desire to validate our lives. That after the end of the day, we have something to keep us sane, someone to blame and when we die, get our just desserts.

If there was no religion fabricated or nothing to believe in then there would be no meaning in our lives. Without nothing to live for, we could be barbarians and kill another with no fear of a higher power for the final judgement. Even during the primal ages, they needed to believe in something and they did, like they believed in the sun, the earth or else, life would be meaningless.

I think the virtually everyone has a built in need that can only be satisfied spiritually. There is also a concious awareness to have a set of standards to maintain a society. Unfortunately, it of those that develop religions and establish what they might call standards, or laws, that take advantage of the others and place them subject to perverse doctrine. True standards, though, can only be set by the highest authority.

For me the standards are secondary, a byproduct, to the opportunity to know God in a personal way. But that is really more of a relationship than a religion.

Religion just helps the human to believe that there is something after death, it's not necessary for a human but it helps.

I think YES. Because it is one of the thing that make us human in comparison to animal.
Archeological studies showed that even the earliest human had practiced some form of religion.
Religion is a belief system, so in a way, even atheism is a form of religion - the religion of no god. Some of them even goes further to believe in science to the same degree of a god.

We (meaning every living thing that exists) are spiritual by nature. Look at a bird, a worm, or a plant--they are all spiritual lives, and although they have communities, they don't necessarily practice a religion. Their spirituality is instinctual, just as ours is. We can try to validate that spiritual existence by forming, becoming part of, or practicing a religion, but ultimately, you are spiritual whether or not you practice religion. However, if one feels called or drawn to organized religion, then I beleive he or she should take the opportunity to discover it. I think we have more of a need for community connection than we do to religion, but a lot of times you can fulfill that need for community by attending church.

Yes...I think so. No matter where we go or what we are doing, we should be trying to set an example for all to see, right? So no matter whether we are going to the amusement park, or grocery shopping, or any other daily activity, we must maintain good morals and good judgements. You never know who is watching you or who may be looking to you for guidance. I don't know if this is the answer you were looking for or not...but I think it kinda pertains to religion... God is religion, right?

Yes, religion is necessary. Like it or not, all of us are creations of God. All of us have souls...and God is actively pursuing us. We in turn need to pursue him. We are called to him through Christ. This makes religion necessary because it gives us the structure we need.

strategies is the place strategies stem from and yet after scrutiny you are able to end that aside from strategies strategies does not exist. in the unsleeping and dreaming state strategies are cutting-edge.yet in the deep sleep state, strategies at the instant are not cutting-edge and for this reason the worldwide isn't cutting-edge. there's no actual worldwide self sustaining of thought. The strategies initiatives the worldwide and via taking flight the strategies we would withdraw the worldwide returned into ourselves. whilst the strategies is externalized the worldwide is perceived and against it whilst the strategies is internalized the Self is perceived. the main suitable thank you to internalize the strategies is self- inquiry.

When a person weighs up everything, he will realise that something is missing. He will ask himself: ‘What is the explanation for this life; what is the purpose of living?’ This is where FAITH begins. He will realise that there must be some great mysterious power behind existence, something which controls the harmony and sequence of events; something behind the mere dust and materialism of this world.
