Is it becuase majority of the people feel highly vulnerable and religion is a kind of insurance for them .

Guys, this is a legitamate question by our compadre Sreedhar.

Answer:

No my friend, it is much deeper than that for people of faith in God (no matter what the faith is). Religion itself is not the key to feeling better. Religion is the result of God's teachings. Christian or Muslim, we are all God's servants and His to do with as He pleases. God does exist, at least we People of the Book, beleive to be true. So you see, vulnerability is not the reason at all.

It is late so sorry if this appears like a halfassed answer :)

religion vs science Feb 04, 2006
I think science had been exploring everything religion consiered as holy Most of the mysteries in the world are either proved ,defined or still investigated . The only fertile place where religion still thrives on is Universe and yet to be known facts about its origin and progression to the world today we see . Probably , looking at the complexities of the matter , no one will come out with correct definition ,which is going to be acceptable to everyone .

However , science has prooved its might and its strength .And the whole world and man kind is totally depended on science and its inventions today . But still , everyone get a kind of solace in believing that our prayers are going to bring us happienss in this world and rich dividends in the other world . Certainly, people do not like to think,belive that after death nothing and we wll return to earth and transform to a handful of dust .We love to live even after our death(the charm of life is so much) and probably that could be one of the reason ,we had been so immaginative to build up another world where we will live after departing from here .

my religion is what stopping me of doing bad deeds even though they might be legal, and also if they are illeagel and i can get away with it.

What would stop me from shooting you in the head and go unpunished? force law??? fu(k it i'm sure i can do alot of busts without getting caught.

It is what make me stop in my formal suite going to a dinner and help an old man to change his tire.
It is what makes me do good things without people see me and without expecting a reward just because God exist and i'll be rewarded by him.

No God, then No humanity. no religion, means Caios or whatever the spelling is.

God exists, yes he does. i didnt' see him, yes i didn't.
Anyone of you saw an electron before???? saw an atom???? well, then how do you belive in them and we build sciences on them.

ok, Do you feel happy? prove it to me, you will laugh and sing and do the chicken dance. well, i can do that when i'm sad. so that doesn't make your point.

despite happiness can't be proven scientifically, it exists and we all feel it. if someone doesn't then he is ill. Exactly like God.


it is simple it is easy, if you don't see it, you are ill.

Bye.
