What is Religion to you?

[:.:kaytay:.:]

Do you believe in god?
Do you not?
What is religion to you?
Is it hope?
Is it something to believe in?

My Answer:

Religion is not a what if, Religion is something you talk to, and hope upon, put your heart and soul into. It is not an excuse. Religion is something that keeps you going, something you will NEVER give up.


&& now what's your opinion?

No me religion is something frivolous and unessential in my lifestyle. I can understand the lure of it as a safety blanket and "something that keeps you going", but personally I don't believe, and will never be able to believe, in something as abstract as religion.

Religion could also be a way to make money, if you really look at it. Economy wise.

Religion to me is simply following a set of rules throughout your life.
I have faith. And I think this is completely different to religion because anyone can go to Church and pretend that they believe, but having faith is just knowing in your heart and feeling Jesus whenever you pray or read the bible. Jesus to me is the most important person in Christianity, without him there wouldn’t be Christianity; it would just be a set of rules.
Religion is almost like a restriction, faith is having a relationship with Jesus.

I dont believe in any religion or faith as nothing has ever been proved... hence i believe that it is all just made up.

Nothing has ever proven jesus was even a real person...

No-one's proved he wasn't a real person, it's just a personal decision people come to.

I'm not religious although I do have certain spiritual beliefs but I don't get why some people get so worked up about it. By that I mean non-religious people, as I tend to find that religious people just live their lives as they want to and only really talk religion to each other (and that's not just one or two people, I work for a vicar so obv I have quite a lot of exposure to religious people) but so many people seem to think that the mere mention of divine beings is a cue to start getting angry and self-righteous. Yeah you get the odd nut who uses religion to justify ridiculous actions or ideas, but for the mega majority they are just normal people who do not harm to anyone

Religion is out dated. We no longer need to rely upon these lies that kept peoples spirits up.
