there is no religion(2)

  • there is no religion(2)

    i see that good comments are coming to part one.i will not give answer one by one but make a general comment.. 1- Those who think that human beings needs religion. spirutally and physchogically it is a need..

    *** Well good for you go on. Maybe you need it but i dont.So you admit that a thing or belief, which you are not sure or not judging to exist can give you hope and strength you need. How easy ha..fine, i am happy for you..Let me tell about a memory; once i was visiting a friend and his flat was just near huge graveyard.i dont know how but at 2 in the morning deal was if he could go a spend 2 hours in that graveyard.he told me that there is no way unless he reads a part of kuran 3 times.i asked him if he knows arabic and he said no. so some words from a language which he didnt know was enabling him to do that. So there comes our difference my friend.i pity him and i suppose you adore this event and explain this as the power of religion.

    2-)we cant judge the existence of religion..

    ** Look my friend,the ones who think like you (in fact it is the most general and common mistake) is thinking that religion is something only spiritual.. No..Religion is much more than a law book telling from day one till craddle,crime,marriage,birth,death,theft etc.etc.and when you go through you see that these laws can only be applied when they are send..So where is the universality of these religions.Let me give an example: This is from Kuran ; "at crime situatins the thing to be done is (i dont know the word in english but close to) "comparison".Slave to slave ,wife to wife etc.The only way to save your ass is you are paying a "blood money" which is announced by the family you killed..This is a very first example there are hundreds of this living rules which cannot be applied today. So you should look to your religions from this aspect also.

    3-) Stop this nonsense; "I am believing it because my father had believed it". use your own brain to judge, try to get rid of what has been told to you since you were a baby and be alone with "reason"

  • HA!

    There is a differance between being religious and being supersticious, as your friend was being. A big differance between being spiritual and afraid of cemetaries. Also, if you believe in Evolution theory, that is your religion. It tries to answer the origions of the universe and life, but offers no real proof. Only faith. Just a thought for you.

  • religion=fear

    First off, i would like to point out that generalizing anyone who believes in the Evolution theory as having that as thier religion is damaging more people than i believe you mean to. Think about it, how many Christians also believe in the (actual impossibility) of it coinciding with Creationism. So does this make the majority of modern day Christians blasphemous by having two religions? And also, a scientific theory is based on fact, that is derived through educated guesses of those informed by modern day scientific proof. Unlike religion, science attempts to answer the questions of the universe through modern thinking, technology and knowledge. No, Christianity is based on the writings of a few societal outcasts from more 18 hundred years ago. Since aparently human nature needs religion (so apparently im not natural?), why not at leat update it to,...lets say, at least within the last few centuries. Either that, or lets go back to the way it should be and dumb down our society to level in which that religon was created. Which means, you wont be seeing a computer to respond to this to for quite some time.

    I would also like to state my firm opinion that if you are so uncomfortable with life and the unexplained that you feel the inevitable need to create a being higher of yourself to comfort yet scare you, then you have absolutely no right to tell anyone else they should do the same. See in the SCIENTIFIC community, they call this schizophrenia. Well i feel the need to become unstable and do the same, i will do it for myself. But thanx. (and for the record, no individuals are being attacked on a personal level by this last statement, just a general wonder.)
