tell you the truth its bean proven that kids join gangs because it makes them feel like they have a purpose.Neonbob said:You started a religion thread...therefore, you will be inevitably proven wrong by someone, but only after a significant amount of flames.
And why would it be risky to follow something that makes you feel as if you have a purpose in life?
I didn't say you need religion to be good. Most religions "reward" you for being good; so by being good you will go to heaven despite not believing in God. It may be a godless "be here now" heaven but that's why you are good with others so YOU can feel good about it right now and if you are good to people all the time you must be a saint.Reklore said:I don't believe in god and I don't be a **** or a DOUCHE to people. I?m good to people because i like to see them happy. If someone NEEDs religion to be good, there not truly goodyosophat said:Buddhists don't believe their religions is the only "way". Religion Doesn't get you closer to God N00B it only tells you what you have to do to get closer to God and essentially all major religions tell you to to be good to others and yourself and that's not "too risky". If you picked the wrong god or religion, oh well what you gonna do about it when you're DEAD. If we knew for certain that there is no god at all then we might as well be cunts and douches to each other. At least in my opinion.

You ever notice that? Any time you see two groups of people who really hate each other, chances are good they're wearing different kind of hats. Keep an eye on that, it might be important.
