Does religion exist ??

Well I am a Hindu, but I don't even know how to really define what a Hindu is.  Hindus can believe in a wide variety of things and can practice many different things, and can still be considered Hindus.  So how would I even go about determining what percentage I follow?\n\nI believe in the Hindu Scriptures.  I worship all the Gods and Goddesses as manifestations of the One Supreme.  I only go to a temple occasionally but this is because of the distance from my home.  I have murtis at home that I use for worship, but I do not regularly do the normal puja.  I am limited in what I am able to do because I live with my parents and they do not approve of (or know about) my Hindu faith.  I would practice more if I were able.\n\nBut in my heart, I'm very "Hindu" I believe, even though I am Western.  My soul just wants to follow God, and it doesn't "care" so much about the method or the particular religion, just so long as it is the one that leads it most closely to it's Love, which is the Lord.

no. thats what people run to when they are afraid, but doesnt have to be real \n\ni dont have a religion, there for i dont believe in god. religion causes so many arguments that its pointless.\n\nand in the end i couldnt keep kidding myself to believe in all that. there is no reason why i sould believe in god, or a particular, youre just believing in what someone is telling you, sometimes its not a good idea to believe everything someone is telling you. there is no real proof. the proof which has been found is based on faith that something did exist, even if it might not have.\n\ni hope that made sense, but i have so many reasons for not believing in God or having a religion

Yes, of one sort or another.  Considering that religion is really just a way of explaining the world around us, and considering that some branches of science require just as much faith as some religions, we can assume that (in one form or another) we will always have religion.

I agree, he does exist.  It says so in the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.  And how do I know that that book is correct?  Because the Flying Spaghetti Monster says so.\n\nRAmen!

Personally, I don't believe in a religion. Religion is man searching for his place in this world. Religion can be anything - money, success, power, family, and even church - that helps give a person a feeling of purpose. Most of these purposes are misguided and misdirected, even some of the good ones humans tend to worship as their religion.\n\nI don't believe in a religion that was created thousands of years ago. I believe in a faith that has been tested thousands and thousands of times by billions of believers before me. I believe that the way I worship God is not through a movement that was created thousands of years ago. I worship my God the way I feel led to worship him - by honoring him in my day-to-day life and sharing my faith in him with others.\n\nFor those that believe science over God, that's fine. That is your choice. But I just wonder, does it make you feel good that your life is the result of an accident? And that everything around you is an accident? Life must have a purpose. If all we are is just here momentarily then we are gone, what is the point in being here? All things must have some sort of purpose. By placing your faith in something beyond the power of your science, you can find that purpose for your life.

god may exist depending on your religeous  beliefs.same goes for the devil.however if your a bit skeptical of these beliefs you may be one of those other people who belive science provides an explanation to everything.

Check out Gregg Braden.  He has, in my opinion, successfully merged Science and Religion stating that both are necessary.  No, he does not have all the answers, I don't think anyone does.  But I do feel he is definitely on the right track.

no, there is no hell or heaven. Religion is just a very complex mecanism invented to keep peace and order on to the world because without the fundamental values that religion brings, ther would be no peace as all men are driven by their desre of power and money... religion is important i addmit, but only for the weak minds that cant accept the fact that they are going to die

Not one single fact so far.  Surprise, surprise.  What a particular writing or book claims is irrelevant.  What are the facts that can point out any one religion as the "True" one?\n\nHint:  There are none.  All religions and their validity are matters of opinion.  Facts do not enter into them in the slightest.

Any religion that cannot prove that God exists is a cult. They've had thousands of years to show proof, but always come up empty handed. However religion  takes in 3 billion dollars a year in tax free donations. The belief business is very lucrative. I consider all of them to be cults.

I think you've opened a *huge* can of worms here! But never being one to avoid discussion, I'll dive in......\n\nI agree.\nI think that religion was a device created by early mankind to explain the unexplainable, to create some social order and it was exploited by some people who had various socio-political agendas. \nI'm not denying that many, many people find their religion a source of comfort and I would not deny them their faith. I feel that religion has evolved with time, although some of the dogma has remained in the past.\nI'm sure lots will disagree, but that's just my own tuppenth worth.

I think you just answered your own question.  I think there is nothing, but you're right, religion is easier to conceptualize than nothing.

There is no correct religion . . . \n\nIf you have to believe something . . . believe in your heart.
