What are the main things you consider right about your religion? What about it is of most value to you?

What are the main things you consider right about your religion?

Firstly, that it is true. Secondly, that it encourages the good and discourages the bad in human nature.

What about it is of most value to you?

Its truth.

Pat Robertson is pretty far right. Do we need more right than that?

You may have Robertson, but we have Varg Vikernes, and I think he just may be a bit for right than that.

What's Right With Religion?
The right and the freedom to believe but I do not understand why one has to become organized to do this.

The right to interpret one's own REALationship with GOD but I do not understand why one has to become organized to do this.

The right and freedom to give and share and to enact acts of kindness but I do not understand why one has to become organized to do this.

God is Truth and God is Love.

I do not have a religion - I am an aetheist. However, I have no end of respect for any person, regardless of their religious persuasion, who spends their free time assisting in charity work to help the disadvantaged, such as the poor or homeless, without involving their religion into it.

The building of relationships, the connecting of humanity, and the sharing of ourselves with one another.

If I can be said to have a religion, it's all my own. It would hold no value in supernatural claims and rejects unverifiable claims not for being wrong but being nonsensical. That seems right to me.

Some people do need the guidance religion provides, as it is comparable to a school. You learn different aspects, different values, and eventually we leave religion and begin our own search.
Unfortuanly, many in this society use religion as a crutch, and are afraid to let go.

I would have to agree. No followers means that nobody can misrepresent Patrickism. I do not have a sordid history and I haven’t done anything to bring reproach upon my religion.

Well I'm an atheist...so yeah I don't believe in God. I only have a problem with religion when it's forced upon me, or people say that it(most of the time) encourages all the good in humans.
