The way life is???????????????????????

Question

will a person who has a strong believe in god , but does,nt believe in any religion as such,and believe in being happy a the sole aim of his/her life, be called an athiest or a selfish or something else bad.

Answer 1

Religion is still important because its our anchor of knowing God, know his words and commandments as well as his good news towards salvation.Also in religion we can built a strong foundation of faith and belief.Religion plays a vital role towards our daily life for us not to go astray.

Answer 2

You just described me.  I believe that the Master Creator of the Universe created this universe and that we are spiritual beings on a human journey, not Human Beings on a spiritual journey, which is what religions teach.

Religions focus on dogma and rituals which are designed to control you.   Like any organization, its primary purpose is to ensure its existence.   But perhaps a religion is a stage in our development we must go through in our spiritual development?

Consider the case of your parents.  Do they want you to worship them?  No, they want you to learn and grow into a positive person.  So why wouldn't it be the same with Deity?

Why would Deity want you to worship him?  He knows, and you know, he can erase your existence in an instance.  Isn't it more likely we are here to learn some spiritual lessons?  That we need to grow as spiritual beings?

Answer 3

No thats called being human. An atheist doesnt believe in god or the devil. They believe in science, and they are activists too. If you preach it then your an atheist. Your just being a normal human being. Millions of people are like that.

Answer 4

If you are happy then you will feel grateful to the powers that be and that is worship. If you know there is a power somehow in charge then you have a greater sense of security. Being a part of a religion helps a person define themselves and helps in making decisions. You may not need that but it helps many people so don't discourage it in others. Knowing that if you do wrong it will come back and bite you is a good idea.
