Need and religion.

[AmbiguousGuy]

I think the reaction here shows how much people want there to be a need for religion but how much they are unable to produce one.

I think the reaction here shows that people prefer honest debate over thinly-veiled sermonizing.

Again, you were given reasons.
You're just not accepting them.

That isn't your choice.
Maybe they aren't valid for you, but so what? They're valid for others.

So you offered your definition of 'religion' in one of Penguin's posts?

How did you do that?

This is a religious debate forum if people here prefered honest debate the site would go out of business.

I don't know about that, but I do think it shows that someone needs to improve their listening and/or reading comprehension skills.

Though this assumes that listening, understanding, and comprehending was desired in the first place, which might be an incorrect assumption.

Oh well. Seen it before, will see it many times in the future around here.

Sorry, Jeremiah; maybe you are listening, but it doesn't seem like you are. And by listening, I don't mean agreeing with. I mean acknowledging that respondents have given several reasons why religion can be needed instead of dismissing what they are saying and declaring "I think the reaction here shows how much people want there to be a need for religion but how much they are unable to produce one." Respondents to your thread have produced one. Several, actually. You're either not listening to what they are saying or are willfully choosing to ignore/distort what they are saying.

So it looks like no one can provide a real need for religion. Seems religion is something we can do without altogether.

I believe there is a need for religion and for reasons already mentioned. It is a way for me to get in touch with my own spirituality and trying to communicate with God. There are also religions with no God- they seem to be about bettering oneself. Yes, a lot of those things mentioned and what I said here can be done without religion but we who follow a faith usually do so because we do indeed have a need for it. We also have a want for it, as well.

Ya, I am a horrible person, I am just so stupid, stupid, stupid.

This thread is no longer on course, it is now a thread about me. So feel free to ask me anything, I am listening.
