How i think about religion

there is no such thing as religion. that doesn't mean i don't believe in god

i almost certainly know that nobody on this site is very poor/ or even poor at all. but what if you was very poor, your parents died of aids, you have to take care of your sisters and brothers, in the middle of war. you have hunger everyday. you're desperate, to who would you go when you are sad. To your parents? to your friends? or to a god? and don't say that the chances are small cuz they're big, that things like this happen.

still i say there is no such thing as religion. but if there is a thing that makes you happy, if there is a thing you can trust, if there is a thing that makes you survive, than that is a god.

doesn't matter if that thing is a Ferrari or your family or a man on a cloud. if that is what i need to be happy to live my life good or to even just go on with my life, than that's my GOD.

cuz believing is thrusting without knowing it's real. but if that's what it takes, than i believe.

so there is no thing as religion, that's why there are no atheists, that's why there are no christs or muslims. that's why nobody believes the same.

this is not to convince people, just to let them know how i think about it.

Perhaps this is better suited for the backroom?

This is Backroom stuff.

Btw, spell-check is your friend.

As far as I understood your thought you mean that everyone needs something to belive in ... well I accept it , but you can't say that there is no religion just because lot's of people belive that there is religion.

What the funken wagnos(

)?

There is religion. Religion is a set of rules and truths that people choose to beleave in that involve a higher being. There most certainly is a religion.

Now the existence of god is farely debatable because no one can prove either way.

As far as I understood the author he just meant that true faith is unique for every single individual and must not be affected by any rules , and also that person must have something to belive in.
