Does religion do more harm or good? Neither the one, nor the other one, from my point of view
I agree whith the former post its
I'll try briefly to give you many ways of thinking, " In the spirit and not literally"
religion is not the question, or has nothing to do with, as you know, the main difficulty we face is the " communication" between people and even in the same family,
example: if you have three sisters and brothers , your parents give you the same education and Religion,
you will have for each of them a very different person and religion, due to their understanding
it will be difficult to find a subject that agree everybody.
Why ? From my point of view,
it's come from our natural survival fear of food shortage,
more your fear is big, more your need will be, and for some of us, they will never be satisfied or have enough, they are insatiable
we say" your eyes are bigger than your stomach"
which bring me to this formula ( MONEY = FOOD)
the following questions in our organised society:
How : to live, to feed youself and your familly, to find a job ?
Who estimates the price of your work
How the market is regulated and why ? What is the political part, what is their involvement .
how you can manipulate people by food lacking.
How it easy to make a war, ans so on
we always talk about" American dream" but for whom ?(it's a kind of religion, based on money, way to drive people, like Christ "love one another", do what I tell, not what I do, etc ).
More you ask , more you will approach to your critical sensibility to the money and you will find your need, then it will be easy to find your WAY, you will choose your futur with those new parameters to focus on your goal much easily
once you have find your sensitivity level about money, then you will understood how the people work,
there is no difference thinking between women and men. They have the same goal : the food.
how some of us need or not the religion,
You will shape your futur with better chance to success, because it will be your own choice.
I don't no, if my point of view help you to have another thought on religion
people need to believe for supporting this live, as they don't understand the system where they live
they will not find their place
to know is good but to understand is better
good meditation
