Religion of any form is just created by humans, humans who cant accept that our lives ARE meaningless.
All we are is bacteria on a planet, unfortunately a bacteria with a sense of intelligence to create such ridiculous stories about god.[/quote:post_uid0]
Regardless of why religion is created, it does help people and society out a great deal. Studies have proven that those who are religious live longer than those who are not.
Religious experience, such as prayer or meditation, activates a part of the brain and stimulates unique feelings. This activation proves that religion isn't just a tool, it's a part of human evolution.
Life can be as meaningful or meaningless as you want it to be, it's up to your own experience. |
