Do we need religion?

Whats the matter with physical death or second death when one don't believe in God? Is God is cruel against non believers ?

 

Which God(s), where you referring to according to history there's over 3 thousand of them?

 

Religion is necessary for humankind. However, many people have difficult understanding the true essence of religion and make it seem like a very bad thing.

 

There are lots of false gods, I'm referring to the true God who created the universe, the one who loved you and died in your place to pay the penalty of your sins: Jesus Christ

 

Your soul is immortal; the second death is an eternal EXISTENCE of separation from God due to sin. If you die refusing to believe in Christ who paid the penalty of your sins on the cross, then you will have to pay the price of your sins yourself.

 

What if I haven't done any sin ?

 

Come on man. This is the reason why many people turn away from religion. Have you ever read about Buddha, Krishna, Guru Nanak? Try to understand the message of your religion clearly.

 

Well I think you'r 'better off' with religion.

 

By the way, terrorists believe that they bomb people in the name of their "god" and they'll be in heaven for bombing innocent people. They believe these innocent people are the enemy of their "god". Terrorism is indeed caused by religion. If terrorists were atheist, would they bomb people? People who are fanatic to religion, they're one step closer to be future terrorist.

Almost in all religion, it's always described that the "god" only saves the member of that religion. People from different religion will not be saved and let rot in hell.

Who created the "god"?

 

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Christianity isn't the only religion and you know that. A lot of people are quite religious and loyal to their own religions, Muslims, Hindus, Pagans, etc... and that they all believe in their own God(s) and not with Jesus.

 

Either you're playing the special person role or you really are . This will come as shock to you Ãœbermensch but atheist to commit terrorist attacks :

Well that's pretty ironic because that's the exact same thing they all say, all have supporting evidence too in the form of historical text. Have you got any real evidence, or just biased beliefs?

To look at this from another angle, how can you call someone else's imaginary friend false, when you have nothing to prove the existence of your imaginary friend. To a mutual observer you're both equally full of shit, and you're just trying to fuel the 3,000 year old pissing contest.

God is a trinity: father, son (Christ), and holy spirit are ONE God

Jesus Christ (the son, the second person of the trinity) came to earth, died a horrible death on a cross to pay the penalty of your sins, and ROSE FROM THE DEAD to conquer death and give you eternal life.

Hope it's clear now.

 

What does it mean ?

 

White Star Line is the company who owned the Titanic; At the time of Titanic's launch, one of the employees said: "Not even God himself could sink this ship."

You know what happened next...

Jesus defined real religion as compassion for widows and orphans. To the extent we need to help out widows and orphans, yes, we need religion.

 

True!

(James 1:27) Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

 

Yeah..God cannot...but nature can.Poor fellas.
