Religion: Who needs it? :: social issues

faith Who needs it?Why is it that humans argon ceaselessly looking elsewhere for what they atomic number 18 able to provide themselves? People with washers and dryers hop out their clothes to be cleaned. Owners of houses stocked full of food can be found at McDonalds. Billions of people can be found to each one week inside churches. Wait...the cleaners,McDonalds and churches? Yep. People atomic number 18 constantly trying to shit their lives easier. Darwin theorized that this was part of Survival of the Fittest. That the easier we take in our lives, the more than like we are to survive. Religion is one more way, along with self-starting coffee pots, that we have developed to make our lives easier and ultimately more bearable. Assuming that in that location is some master contrive that we cant see makes. Religion is simply a self-made, self-serving idea. Humans are the only animals on the planet capable of keeping track of time. Because of this, we pompously assume that on ly the most valuable of projects are worth our time. We sometimes say, That was a total waste of my time. What if our entire lives were a waste? What if there was nothing after this life to greet us? The idea that lives are giant wastes would obviously make same people rather annoyed. With worship in our life we are content in the belief that we are constantly working toward something. There is a reason for all the pain, sorrow and suffering. Another way that religion is self-serving is through the way that it shuns responsibility. By way of religion we are able to place our eternal gladness on someone elses shoulders. Although it is our responsibility to live the kind of life that we have in mind God would want us to live, it is ultimately his decision wether we succeed or fail. Because of this I really appreciate the Buddhist way of thinking. Buddhist find out that you are to look inside yourself to find the inspiration and good to sieve the ultimate goal, known as enlighten ment. Through this it is no ones responsibility nevertheless your own if you arent happy or successful. It isnt that God has or hasnt blessed you, its that the assist lies within yourself and you just havent found it yet. The last way that religion is self serving and foolish is in another way that we make oursleves happier and more content. Through self-induced propaganda we believe that regardless of our situation in life, someone is ceremony us, and taking care of us.
