I wondered what is the purpose or essence of religion?
I did some googling and determined that there are many reasons, but one upon which I stumbled upon is quite interesting:
This logically leads to conclusion that without the religion we would not know what is evil, which just can't be true.
What do you think is the purpose of religion?
That religious texts have stood the test of time is a testament to their efficacy. But an argument can be made that today's world brings with it worldy desires that have weakened the foundation of man's understanding of God ( Christine and other atheists are a perfect example). Suffice it to say religion needs science to back up its claims in this day and age. This amounts to a unification of God and science.
