TEST RELIGION - PUT FAITH CLAIMS TO THE TEST

testreligion.com

In the big picture, is faith in God, revelation from God and prayer worth it?

Do you think of how challenging superstition or faith protects many vulnerable people?

If people do good because they are human and not because God prompts them then is it right to risk giving God any credit when they alone own their good?

RELIGION IS A PARASITE THAT LIKES TO FEED ON FEAR OF BEREAVEMENT AND OFF THE BEREAVED

Someone we love dies. Our grief is not about how much we value the person as a person but how we responded to them and caused ourselves to feel about them. It is caused by human factors rather than spiritual. Nobody suffers on the basis that God made and valued the person.

Bereavement is not complete until you find some happiness in the thought that the person does not exist any more. They didn't exist before they were born and that doesn't bother you. You knew them and you want to be with them that is why their non-existence after dying bothers you. But be careful what you wish for. And it should not be about you. Asking for them to live on means that if you get your wish they might be damaged or barely conscious or capable of being injured. There is a comfort in feeling you know that they cannot be injured any more or brought back to be hurt etc. God and religion just harm people by saying and acting different. Just keep the good they did going by helping people in their honour. That is the way to keep them alive.

The atheist and the Christian (you can substitute any religion of your choice here) have to face one question in life and that is the only question that matters. It is, "There is nothing I can do to guarantee that I will not suffer or die. In that sense, I have to succumb to despair. I am not saying, I have no hope. I am saying I hope for the best in all things except the one thing. So how do I be as happy as possible in the face of the suffering and death that can happen to me? I can try - others have managed it. Others have succeeded."
