I believe what Rokkie is trying to say is that we humans need to
believe that there has to be a higher being than ourselves.
Being born equal, why should we accept the advice, laws or
suggestions from another flawed human being?
There has to be a supreme being who created us, and with that
creation, laws and guidelines whom we must respect and adhere to,
to ensure that we will not take the miracle of life for
granted.
We must know that if what we do displeases, we will be punished,
and when what we do pleases, will be rewarded.
Religion is also a source of comfort, for when we are down, we
pray for guidance and deliverance, and at times it is answered,
gladden that in the hour of our desperate need or loneliness, there
is someone who cares and listens, whom we can talk to, whether we
are a roadsweeper or a PM. Miracles do happen.
It is simple and not complex to understand religion. It only
takes a leap of faith and faithfulness to its laws. Thus it's
appeal to many, of all social strata.
Each will ultimately approached ones' creator in his own way, in
his own time, without the need for outside interferences or
influences.
The only problem with religion is when flawed men attempts to
interprete or 'mis-interprete' divine guidance, and use the more
simple or soft-hearted ones of humanity amongst us to achieve
neferious aims such as terrorism.
It had happened in our past, thus we must put an end to it
today. And unfortunately, the ones using religion as a tool to
achieve political dominance currently in our times is radical
Islam, with the most body bags count of innocents specifically
targeted.
Terrorists groups such as the Jap red army, baideer meinhoff,
ETA, etc combined cannot even begin to compare to the support
and dammage radical islam had done to innocent humanity in
undeclared war.
Can someone tell President-elect Obama to drop the idea of
sending 100,000 soldiers, but instead send 100,000 progressive
Islamic scholars and Imans to Afghanistan if he wants to win the
war on terrorism please?
But yet there are religious texts which tells their followers that
they're above those who aren't followers or they have to force
their religions onto others to save them.
These flaws turned me from religions.
