Is there a point to religion?

Question

If, so would you say it is more of a line segment or a ray?

Answer 1

LIFE. Figure it out with your soul . Your own intellect is not sufficient for the task.

Answer 2

Math?  That's against my religion. ;-)

Sure there's a point.  Perhaps more of a ray.

Answer 3

Primitive man lived a life of superstitious bondage to religious fear. Modern, civilized men dread the thought of falling under the dominance of strong religious convictions. Thinking man has always feared to be held by a religion. When a strong and moving religion threatens to dominate him, he invariably tries to rationalize, traditionalize, and institutionalize it, thereby hoping to gain control of it. By such procedure, even a revealed religion becomes man-made and man-dominated. Modern men and women of intelligence evade the religion of Jesus because of their fears of what it will do to them--and with them. And all such fears are well founded. The religion of Jesus does, indeed, dominate and transform its believers, demanding that men dedicate their lives to seeking for a knowledge of the will of the Father in heaven and requiring that the energies of living be consecrated to the unselfish service of the brotherhood of man.

Do not overlook the value of your spiritual heritage, the river of truth running down through the centuries, even to the barren times of a materialistic and secular age. In all your worthy efforts to rid yourselves of the superstitious creeds of past ages, make sure that you hold fast the eternal truth. But be patient! when the present superstition revolt is over, the truths of Jesus' gospel will persist gloriously to illuminate a new and better way.

Answer 4

Yes, there is a point.

It's a search for hope, love, and truth.

Things that are kinda lost in the world, though some religions don't give it.

I'd stay it's a line. No starting or endpoint, like God ;). It's just that at times people only take the segments they want.

Answer 5

Ahhh Lime Kitties take over.....!

Answer 6

To honor God.

Answer 7

I think the point of religion cannot be properly graphed.

Answer 8

line segment...

It has no variations, and it has a set of rules to follow...

religion is not infinite, it has too much structure and organization.

God, by the way, if He does exist, is not religious.
