do we need religion?

[President Camacho]

that depends purely on the situation.whats right in a situation will be wrong in another.

That's the answer to your question... all your questions, in fact.

The bold part I mean.

say you true its like you are nude in public and wanna make others too ? lolz let them believe its your problem as an atheist you mind your business and let others its freedom .am i right?

 

[Skies]

just do good to your fellow beings and good will happen to you.thats what i believe in.no allah,no jesus,no krishna,just GOD.

OK I will go good. But who/what taught me what is good or bad.

Can human identify what is good or bad if religions/prophets would not taught the human being since Adam? Are human such intelligent and wise?

What taught us to get married, cover our body?

imran bhai,

i don't want to force anyone.i just want to discuss my view.

Religion if it remains in the spiritual realm is good.

Once it transgress into the temporal, it loses its beauty and religiosity.

It also depends on which Religion ??

Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism are all about way of life. There is no set of rules to follow. It all depends on personal choice. These 4 religions says more about Moral Value, Ethics, Customs, Karma and so on. So, A Person can be Atheist and can belong to any of the 4 religion at same time.

Vivekananda , a Hindu spiritual leader/ philosopher said, " that all the rivers and streams lead to the ocean. You can choose any path and still get to the same goal." He also went on the say that a good atheist is equivalent to a good Hindu. Similar for Sikhism, Jainisn and Buddhism.


As far as Abrahamic religions, Many Christians are now Atheist. Those who following Atheism are more educated. Atheism is doing very well in Europe, US, Russia and China. Although, I don't know in detail about Abrahmaic religion and customs/Rituals.

what is good or bad is something one learn from his own lives.he goes through a series of events which will shape his charector,and he will have his own goods and bads.

bhai,please explain

Anytime bhaaaaiiiii...

Here it is:

You said: "that (right or wrong) depends purely on the situation.whats right in a situation will be wrong in another."

The rights and wrongs are coded in the religion, as (presumably) commanded by God, who has to be right about rights and right about wrongs as well.

But, right for a man living in a desert, may not be so right for a man living in the mountains.

These rights and wrongs differ from places to people, giving ways to different Gods giving them different sets of values. The different Gods are a requirement because they give people the value of hope, which may be as intangible as can be, but is certainly one of the most powerful forces on this planet.

We need different Gods because there are different people. How would an Zulu African American feel after seeing that Jesus was actually a conservative redhead? For centuries Zulu people have been dancing naked thrusting their pelvis against the one they may want to select to mate. A white Jesus, created by a completely different people may contradict their eons old values. So, they will look for a different God.

Now you see, simply because people are different from each other, they do require different Gods.

Say, a thousand years from now Chimpanzees becomes smart, would they want to be atheists, Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, or just have their own God to help them with their own set of values?

By the way, I am one hardcore atheist... and I say this:

 

[888jamie888]

I am not religious but I am okay with it as long as it does not become extreme or effects other people.
For example muslim fanatics and the WBC.

 

[Zabaniyah]

A man with no religion is like a ship with no sail. Or by modern/future standards, a ship with no reactor

 

[AHMED85]

Of course yes...
But don't cash the name of religion
because the radicalization, exceed in preach to fear and lost to count the blessing are the elements that disruptive most of people and put them on deviant from it... Use religion to promote and spread love and peace...other wise it is become remine the sigh of specific class...Like Mullas...

 

[kobiraaz]

- Religious people are confident people, thus they become successful in everything. I have personally observed this difference among my practising and non practising muslim friends.... I always respect religious people. It is the hardest thing in this world to be religious.
