RELIGION....(part 2)

You don't believe in God? Albert Einstein, probably more intelligent than Mao Tse Tung and Karl Marx combine, believes that there must be God.

Religion is poison=Mao Tse Tung
Religion is an opium made by the religious people=Karl Marx

It's not necessarily a question of belief. It's a question of the Truth.

The question of this thread should be:

WHAT'S WRONG WITH RELIGION? IS IT NECESSARY?

My answer would be a resounding yes.

and disagreeing with me is preposterous. hahaha

Have you tried confessing your sins to a priest or pastor ever since? If not, just try for experience sake. Nothing teaches better than experience.

In my opinion, confessing your sins to a fellow who can be a worst sinner than you can be pleasing to God because it is like a litmus test that you are humble enough. If you are humble, then you must be sincere.

Imagine if God is really physically present who sits in a very grand throne having a good time with his angels and saints around. Do you think an insignificant person like us will have the guts to come forward by ourselves and say, excuse me my Lord, I have come to ask forgiveness for my sins, could you spare 5 minutes of your time with me please? or would it be more polite and proper to ask somebody else who is more closer to him so that he can ask him to entertain you or better yet, negotiate in your behalf?

Another thing just wanna know, do you really think we really need a mediator ba tawag nun? like you cant confess your sins without priest? or do we have to say our prayers through the saints? who made the saints? men... prone to sin, error and all. I confess my sins directly to Him.

Religion in my own definition as a practice of faith and beliefs.

So if you don't believe in God and have faith that there is no God, then technically that is your religion. If you believe in God and practices what he teaches, then it is also your religion.

The decision of joining an organization is up to you. But usually, people join organization which shares the same faith and belief as them for other benefits.

Just like creating a badminton club so that people who likes badminton can pool their limited resources together and maintain a badminton court for club members.

So u see
badminton=religion
badminton club=church organization
badminton court=chapel/mosque/temple

For me WALAY religion nga makaluwas or malangit ka, kundili ang imong relasyon sa GINOO ug ang pagtuman sa iyang mga sugo.............................

Sayop kana. Ang pagtuo sa Ginoo kay usa sa mga aspeto sa usa ka relihiyon. Kung mutuo ka ug Ginoo, dapat miyembro ka sa usa ka relihiyon, kana kung ang imong "Ginoo" kay mugna mugna ra nimo.

morag sayop imong idea dah... mora na noon mas importante pa ang relihiyon kai sa ginoo hehehee. morag bali jud... ngano bali? tungod sa ginoo mao nang naai relihiyon dili the other way around...

dapat miyembro ka sa usa ka relihiyon,

onsa man imong reference ani?... galibog jud ko hehe

So, you don't believe in God too?

Believing means you have accepted something which is true. I believe in God because I accepted that it is true that he existed.

For me, believing in God is actually more practical than not believing in him.

If I die believing in him and he really existed and he accepts me in his Kingdom, then that would be good.
If I die believing in him but in the end, he really doesn't exists, then it is still good.
If I die not believing in him and in the end, he really existed, then it is bad.

It would be nice to argue about the truth though and I wonder what color and shape it is really taking.

It's not necessarily a question of belief. It's a question of the Truth.

If we will base it from my own definition of religion. Then my analogy would be correct. But if you have your own definition of religion in which I presumed you equate as God, then yours would be correct. I won't argue which is correct though.
