this question came up in my world religions class and i thought it was interesting so im posting here as well. this was
a controversial subject in my class because of course there are a lot of pros and cons to each side.
my preference is religious cause i grew up with buddhist and catholic influence and i cant really see myself without
some sort of thing to belong to. i find it gives you something to fall back if something bad happens like a death or a
illness. cons to this might be that religions can be really demanding and have rules and ristrictions etc. i have
atheist friends who are perfectly fine in their life so i want to make it clear that both sides are equally good.
but people have different prefs so what is yours?

Religion is very important to me. I'm Christian, and have been all my life. I can't imagine life without God as my backbone...to me my faith is a major part of who i am :)

I preference is agnostic, because I don't care about religion in the slightest, nor do I hate it. Religion for the most part is a joke. It's a form of political control with no purpose. The only thing that really matters is the belief, not the embodiment.

Amen, skysong. I myself am a very strong Christian. (I do not consider Christianity a religion, by the way, but a relationship with Jesus) I don't know where I'd be without God. He gets me through everything..in the tears and in the joy. My faith is also a big part of what makes me 'me'. Without God, my life would be so screwed. I'm free in the truth.

There is insurmountable evidence that favors Christianity. Physics, Space, History, Science, Math, you name it. :3

I believe in science but I'm not really atheist as I still believe in a sort of God. Just not in the narrow definitions set by religions. I think of science as just another belief system that tells more about "how" things work rather than the underlying "why" things work.

I'm a so-and-so. I'm catholic and I believe in God. But I don't take it seriously. My attitude is "yeah, i believe in God," and then curse and swear XD

i'm officially Catholic... but i managed to run away from all my religion classes in high school... i guess i could be considered an atheist by some, but i have my own beliefs, and that's enough to me...

I'm totaly fine if you don't have a religion. I'm a Christian though, it's like what my brother said "religion is what keep people sane" I'm not that crazy person who thinks everyone has to be a Christian to tell the truth I hate those kind of people. Sorry if I offened anyone. Anyway I respect what other people are and what they beleave in.

i think that your right cause without a religion to follow you wouldnt really have a standard to live by or anything to set aside what is right and what is wrong. it might be common sense too but religion gives you morality.

I have to believe in a God, I can't accept being the result of an accident in space. Besides when I read the Bible it predicts things happening now and tells why.
Besides, religion gives hope and guidlines that can ensure a happier life. :)Mortal life is a race to the finish - that's why it's called the human race. DNG

I´ve gotten to know various religions, but this isn´t a debacle to see which is best. Religion is definitly an important part of my life on many levels. I don´t think I´d be me without religion, so I have to opt for that. I can´t imagen life without God. But that´s my opinion.

I'm on the hinge of being an aethist, and being polytheistic. Basically .. if there is a some higher being, which there probably isn't, it'll be more than just one.
As for the bible predicting things .. so did Nostradamus. And with him, we aren't sure if he was a heretic or not. So no basis there.
Religion was said as to being why people have morality, and why they do what they do, but in my case, thats false. I don't do anything I do because of religion, but because I feel it right to do good, rather than not. Whether it be Christians telling me to do good, or Wiccans telling me, I'll do what appeals to me, with no thought of religion in mind.

I believe that all organized religion is bad. It's detrimental to society as a whole. But I think belief in God is good. Religion cause war and hatred among people. God gives hope. But I'm still atheist.
