What is wrong if human beings turn to G-d?

[HonestJoe]

While doing all such things one could turn to G-d. Isn't it possible, please?

It's obviously possible, the question is what is the point? What does "turning to God" now do for anyone that they aren't already capable of doing anyway? Someone could "turn away from God" because of all this but keep on being a good person regardless too.

While Corona spreads, what is wrong if human beings turn to G-d, reform themselves and do good deeds?
I see no harm in it. Right, please?

If it works for them, fine.. they should remember to follow medical advice to avoid the catching the virus, god won't help them there

Believing things in the absence of good evidence is not reasonable, whether there's a pandemic spreading or not.

There is no compulsion in it, please.

I don't see how that's relevant to what I said?

 

[paarsurrey]

For many, if not most, there is "no harm in it." For the rest the issue is not what they turn to but, rather, what they turn from, e.g., science and reason.

Everybody is not actively involved in Science to invent a vaccine for the virus, so it is reasonable for others to turn to G-d and ask His mercy, humbly. While doing Science one could also turn to G-d. There is no harm in it, please.

If turning to God means hope I see little wrong with it. If people start attaching other concepts such as ignoring a vaccine in favour of only God and religion as treatment there is a major problem.

Rather ignoring a vaccine, one should focus to find it and turn to G-d to help humanity to find a vaccine. The truthful religion is not against it.

Or not. Folks can still reform themselves and do good deeds without God.
So turning to God is fine but pretty much irrelevant to the issue.

Aren't believers already turning to God. Isn't that pretty much SOP among folks who believe in a God?
Seems a little hypocritical to turn to God only in a crisis.

Plenty of human beings do good things currently WITHOUT god

Turning to G-d won't hamper them.

No, but turning to God won't improve them

God is a concept, when bandied about by men,
a concept is an idea which tends to end in people taking sides and contentions ensue.
which is counterproductive to any mutual satisfaction.

God has a lotta limits, why overburden the Supreme.

I think it is a dreadful notion that problems such as corona viruses have anything to do with believing in God, or in "reforming" ourselves. Reform from what into what, exactly? Please be specific -- what, for example, are you planning to turn yourself into in order to make this problem go away?

I think that is because humans are made in the image of their Creator God, therefore everyone does good things sometimes. So while many may deny God, their good actions are not “without” God, in my view.

I don't see anything dreadful. Maybe one is carried away with one's thoughts. Right, please?

I don't get one exactly. Please elaborate.

Well, that is your opinion; I do not agree.

make no graven images [english mistranslation] and did they gravely ponder the neon gods they had made...alas the dead, they are busy burying the dead......imagine that.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with people reforming themselves and doing good deeds. I question whether there's any need to turn to some unverifiable god in order to do so.

Why don't you answer my question, instead of just leaping to ask me another one?
