Would people need to go to churches, mosques etc if they were really happy with their self?

Question

I mean if they were really happy with their life would they still care if heaven and hell exists?

Would they need to pray to hoaxes and wooden statues, if they were capable of living peacefully and devine?

And I am not an atheist for those interested.

Answer 1

They would not need to go to Church if they understood that this is the 'only' life they have. Instead they waste their time on hopes for another existence when this one should be enough.

Answer 2

It helps if you shift your perspective a bit. It's obvious that you're a hardline atheist, but that shouldn't prevent you from looking at life from another person's point of view. A gross misconception is deeply rooted in your question: you seem to think that people go to places of worship just because they're unhappy with themselves. I can assure you there's nothing wrong or dissatisfying in the lives of millions of people who choose religion as a road to truth, self-development or growth.
And if you were really happy with your life, I guess you wouldn't be worrying so much about others. Maybe you're searching for real answers and the meaning of life? It may be a good start.

Answer 3

I think the answer to the question has more to do with an issue of fellowship rather than self worth. I am a practicing Christian, and follow the principle of meeting in homes and breaking bread with one another, a similar practice among Judaism and Islam. Fortunately or unfortunately, there are many who seek churches and mosques for reasons other than fellowship including monetary gifts, food, or even to find there place in the universe; all of which are valid reasons. I am of the personal belief that I go to a church to uplift the body of Christ; to serve rather than to receive from a church. Of course, my principle of peace between all peoples and being a scientist to boot is unpopular among most Christians, so I am seldom welcome in any Christian church. I hope that this is a helpful answer to your question.

Answer 4

I probably shouldn't say this at the risk of sounding vane. But if you would go to my 360 and read the 39 entries there, it is called, The Key to Spiritual Growth is Awareness, you will get my complete answer to this question. I hope you will and leave a comment or two. It is open to the public.

Answer 5

You can put this another way. What if going to churches and mosques actually makes them happy? It depends what comes first for them in their lives. You have atheists and believers. Atheist may think that religion is "opium for masses" and that is made up for comforting unhappy and poor, while believers see it as source of all their happiness, and it gives meaning to every possible aspect of life.
We all have our "corners" from which we understand things around us. If somebody is in corner that is opposite to yours, it doesn't mean that he/she is wrong, and you are right (or vice versa).

Answer 6

Demonstrate through some measure of concrete data or demographic study that people who worship God or a god are unhappy. Attempting to argue a point based on what appears to be a subjective generality simply weakens your argument.

Answer 7

God is neither a hoax nor a wooden statue.

Answer 8

Many people find it a comfort, no matter what religion they are. Who are we to condemn them for their beliefs.

Answer 9

of course they would.... religion is not an asylum for needy and unhappy people... i think also happy people would go and show their gratitudes... and praise to their happines...
