why is everyone so caught up with the "god"stuff?

Question

i dont believe in some'um i cant see or smell or taste.we should all relax,and try to help the next individual who is less fortunate,then this world will be a better place to live.cuz everyone is so worry about their "after life" if they'd eaten pork or some'um not blessed or not choosing the right religion,as a result, they'll end up in hell.wow!
it saddens me how religious would prey on the weak individual's mind. Preying on their hopes and fears and how your problems will be resolve if they'd pick up this book.why cant we teach each other to be good toward one another without religion as the medium(did i used"medium"correctly?)
It's funny cuz since the beginning of man,cavemen would only draw pictures that means a great deal toward them,such as,animals,or other cavemen.But when we'd learn how to communicate,we'd start to talk about non-existing creatures.(dragon,demons,devil,god)
in conclusion,we're living the 21st century,not medieval times.Let's move forward not backward.

where would i go?umm..im already dead,so where can i go?

thank you to those that's criticizing my grammar,because that's what im working on.again,thank you for your comments on my grammar.

Answer 1

I like what you are saying. You probably could have used better grammar & spelling but I LOVE THE POINT YOU ARE MAKING
have a nice weekend

Answer 2

This "god" stuff has been around as long as humans found the ability to communicate their feelings. The level of intensity waxes and wanes over the years and centuries. Organized religion is the biggest proponent of the god stuff and each little or big organization will insist (most of the time) that only their song and dance is the correct one. One can be spiritual and enjoy and be grateful for the wonders of life, can do the best we can for ourselves and others and without realizing it can tune into the actual god stuff without any attached guilt or tedium. I strongly believe that we are all energy and while on this planet we are confined to a body and, depending on where and when we were born into the body, are somewhat restricted by our environment, community and the education that is gradually turned into the experience of our life. Your ideas and beliefs are driven by what you have seen, smelled, tasted, heard, etc... If you don't like what others believe its okay to be cool about it and not let it frazzle your brain. Learn as much as you can and think about being more open minded..stretch your thinking to embrace a bit more with passing time and you will find yourself excited by all the different forms of thought and the really fascinating ideas that will be found out there among the masses. Shutting down the notion of another way of thinking or believing might leave you out of the loop and you could miss out on a lot of exciting stuff. We all have a tendency to get very territorial about how we think and then before you know it a few years have gone by and what was hot and with it back then is old and boring now. I agree that we should just be good to one another and not let "traditional" thinking cloud our view of how to act toward one another. Keep doing good things and you will feel better and better about yourself with each passing year and before you know it what other people believe and think won't be as important to you as it is today.

Answer 3

first, allow me to say , "everyone" is not caugt up with the God stuff. If that were true, the world would be a kinder place and we would see less trauma and massacre school shootings if people were truly caught up with the God stuff, as you deceivingly think. Secondly,how patheticly empty and sad one's life is who is conent with existing outside a relationship with the Lord God! Let me let you in on a secret.........neither myself nor any other christian has "seen" God either. Yet, we know that He is alive and deserves all our praise and any good recognition that He gets, for He is an awesome God! And lastly, have you ever taken a kite out to fly? If so, what led you believ that it was a good day to fly a kite? What???? Did you say "the wind was blowing?" But, wait a minute, you can't see the wind. But you can feel it and hear it. Well, that's the way it is when you are living your life on the Truths of God"s Word. I don't see My Redeemer; nevertheless, I feel Him right by my side and hear Him as I walk through my life onward to a better country, Heaven.

Answer 4

When you catch a cold can you see it coming? When people tell you something such as the earth is round or the sky has an ozone layer can you see that? No. Its a mindset. You believe it because someone you believe to be smarter then you told you it was true. Why can't the same be said for god an heaven? People may know more then you or believe it more then you do, it doesn't make it not real. No one really knows what happens when you die, so that's the beauty of it all. Wait and see! We will all die and know then.

Answer 5

I really don't think people are wrapped up in religion at all. Well I guess just like everything else in the world - a chosen few do go overboard - but for the most part I don;t think religion is overbearing at all. You're concepts of being good to others - is pretty much what religion is built on anyway - so I see no harm in that. As far as being concerned about what we eat or our afterlife - that's pretty much an individual decision and choice don't you think? Do you really think that these types of thoughts deter from being good and kind to others? I don't - I believe that if someone is concerned about their after-life - that they will tend to be more concerned about their fellow man than perhaps someone who has no religion at all. I don't know - I find that slamming religion is not a good thing at all. Either choose it or lose it and do what you need to do to in order to gain peace and happiness in your life!

Answer 6

Its called fee will. What would life be like if god feed and clothed you like you were a freeking gold fish.

Your probably right though most religons have been highjacked by man, I am sure good doesnt care if you were a Catholic, baptist, Jew. Just that you follow his main principles, do good.
Dragoons where very real to early humans, ever wonder why every culture has a dragoon? Its because they found dinsour bones. That and an active imagination, along with a frew hustlers and you have a population that believed in Dragoons.

Answer 7

God is not stuff, He is real and very much alive. we all need to think about what will happen when we die, or it should be a little of a concern, just maybe they may want to change their way of thinking. And we do worry and care for the ones who are without and in the need, many of us have a giving heart to them and they do give. I stand to correct you on something else, demons are real, an't sure about the dragons and such but demons are very real..we may be living in the 21 st century but you know what so is God living right with us..He's been around a long time..

Answer 8

there is a big possibility that some one will come past you but so what. it's exciting and wild and it's the thought of getting caught that makes it worth while. have her wear a skirt with no panties for easy access and if you think you see cops all she has to do is jump in the front seat. make sure you guys are sober just in case they ? you and just say you were not feeling well so decided to pull over.

Answer 9

The Holy Bible is for all religions and all people and is a guide to show us and help us have wisdom to love eachother, to bless eachother, to live a clean Godly life and help others. The Holy Bible teaches us the way god wants us to love and is not about "religions".

Do you believe in air, gravity all things you cannot see?is it not real for you cannot see them??
If you die tomorrow and choose not to believe in something you cannot see, what hopes or promises do you have in the afterlife? If you choose to believe in God, we have the promises, love, everlasting life in God's kingdom, and who would take a risk by not believing in what God says is true?!
Ask yourself:
Do you have to see to believe or do you want to believe to see? God is the same yesterday, today and tommorrow, God never changes even in the 21st century. Caught up with "God stuff" you say? you better know it as it is a wonderful life having God in it and knowing his promises are the truth! Amen to that!

Answer 10

Well, it's due to my faith that I've decided to help others. When I look at pleasing God, I see that he wants me to help others because that's how I show Christ's love. SO, while you have some good points here, religion helps many of us achieve a focus to become better than ourselves.

In addition, religion gives me hope. It's not just about being a "good person" in terms of morality and helping others, but also in seeking to be a better person overall. I choose Christianity, because my relationship with God allows me hope for eternity, not just while I am physically and mentally capable of helping others.

Answer 11

The Bible tells of people like you. Literally everything that's happened on this planet is in the oldest book, the Bible. Religious people are concerned for your salvation and all you can do is criticize. It's sad that when it over, you will see but it will be way too late for you, and you will burn in hell for eternity. Why don't you just take a Bible, open it up to any page, and read just one chapter. You will see for yourself and whether you want to believe it or not is up to you, and that's why God gives us the choice.
