McBona at 12-05-2009 12:28 AM (14 years ago) (m) well, from Ma understanding... I think neverdless the harm Religion had caused 'mostly' @ the origination... Religion in so many ways have helped Us out Governmentally. #1. for adoptational initiatives. #2. helped in building the constitutions, & making it moderate for Mankind. #3. Without em Constitutions' Religion was made & was adopted by Man... Man living via the influence of Religion today 've gat the fear of evil recompense, 'if' he/she lives a sinful life. Religion enhanced the spirit of Love as dessiminated earlier by the Martyrs. Neverdless, a particular sec. of Religion that uses the name of Religion in killing their fellow human being & believing they've done the right thing unto God by so doing! Religion remains a very good source for Love/Good-Faith/Administration/Education & so many more beneficiaries unto Mankind.. Posted: at 12-05-2009 12:28 AM (14 years ago) | Gistmaniac | |

hyke at 11-06-2009 06:59 AM (14 years ago) (m) Religion to my understanding is the Culture of people’s beliefs. Culture is the general accepted Values and norms of group of people, society or country. The fundamental blocks of culture are values and norms. Values are abstract ideas about what a society believes to be good, right and desirable. Values affect everything, political and economy systems as well as culture. Values include attitudes towards concepts like freedom, honesty, loyalty, justice, responsibility and personal relations including marriage. Values shape individual behaviour by identifying appropriate and inappropriate forms of human interactions. While Norms are social rules and guidelines that prescribe appropriate behaviours in particular situations. Norm shapes the action of people towards one another. Religion as per what I can deduce from above explanations is just like cultural value. The general accepted principle of people’s beliefs as per nature, existence of humans, divine and how to worship God is religion. For instance almost if not all religions teaches the rich to protect or help the poor and also for the strong to protect the weak and so also all other general accepted appropriate behaviours in every society. People’s beliefs renew their minds towards a particular direction and mostly to God and good behaviours in the society; it teaches them to conform to the rules, regulations and expectations of their faith. It give them hope, peace and expectation of eternal life or after life as a believer and eternal condemnation to hell as non believer. The all of the above, are the reasons why we have religion. It has been hijacked though for selfish individual or group ambitions and goals. People are brainwashed and mislead by using the power of their beliefs to set them against each other. We cannot say one religion is guilty and the other is not. All religion is now keg of gunpowder or let me say nuclear bombs ready to be detonated. The power of religion both in the olden days and even now has shown that people’s beliefs are their existence. Through religion believers seek answers to creation so also through science the scientist or mostly non believers seek answers to evolution. Some of us believe that evolution is just the scientific finding of God’s creation but in whatever form we may elucidate it, religion is a very volatile and delicate property of our world.

bskez at 22-06-2009 07:41 AM (14 years ago) (f) Inspite of everything we've been blessed with(or even what we choose to believe),there is a void in us no one else would fill.So in humanity's state of not knowing(and searching to fill this void),they tried a lot of things they call religion. How can anyone go through life not knowing purpose? How can anyone go through life not knowing the one true God,and the gift of life He gave to us again through Jesus Christ His Son?

Matteio at 8-07-2009 12:46 PM (14 years ago) (m) Life evolves around religion. WE OFTEN ASK OURSELVES MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPEN AND EXIST IN OUR WORLDS. EVERY ANSWER LEADS TO A QUESTION AND THE CHAIN GOES ON UNTIL THE ANSWERS ARE NO MORE AND WHAT DO WE DO WHEN IT ALL GOES BEYOND OUR ABILITY TO ANSWER... GOD KNOWS. BUT SOME RUN AROUND SPECULATING, THEREBY CREATING SOME SORTS OF RELIGIONS... YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT! Posted: at 8-07-2009 12:46 PM (14 years ago) | Newbie | |
