i think God was just a way to give people, in a time when life was truely hard, a hope that one day they'd have thier own paradise. This still applies to many who lead lives full of suffering in war-torn countries, but for the rest of us its just a bonus to a life that should be more than enough for us. Its also another way for people to try try and justify hate and prejudice caused by fear. This is still true in many places, though not as severe as it used to be (eg the crusades). Religion's failing nowadays, mainly because we've started to embrace our fellow man instead of trying to kill them, so we no longer need a reason to justify killing them. Religion isnt all bad, believing in God obviously doesnt automatically make you some kind of Nazi, and people working for God do very good things, charities, helping the poor/sick, but we shouldnt do these things just to benefit ourselves (ie get into heaven)
I think eventually we'll be able to exist without having to believe in a higher power of some kind, but it wont happen til we grow up properly and realise that he was never really there and we dont need him to justify our actions be they good or bad. I could go on like this forever, but Im gonna spare y'all
Jaxx Reviewed by Jaxx on . religion whats your religion? i used to belive in God, but im not so sure if i do anymore, i mean in the bible it said that God talked to all these people and did all these great things, like when he talked to that guy (wots his name?) through a burning bush and he freed the slaves or somthing. how come we dont get sh!t like these days? has God given up on us? or does he clearly not exsist. i dont think he exsist, theres to much suffering in the world, i mean they are kids starving to death and dying of Rating: 5
