I don't know why people believe in religion (especially in today's world with the all information available few mouse clicks away) but I think it's their right to believe in whatever they want. For example I was raised in a family where my mother has been christian and my father has been atheist. Until I was 17 I believed in God and Jesus but after reading many books and documentaries I stopped believing. And it was on my own. Nobody forced me to believe or not to believe.
The most important thing is that whatever you believe in does not harm anyone. As long as you keep it for yourself and for your own spiritual good I don't see any problem. I know my mother finds strength in her belief so why would I try to convince her to stop believing.
I think that many people search for purpose in their life.
I believe also in the spiritual reality, not just physical.
Yes, scientists can create many ''nice'' things and our life is better now than before, but still many people feel''empty'' and without purpose of life.
Do you think that technology or science can give us purpose of life?
Or help us find ''inner'' peace in our mind?
I don't think so.
When we talk about God, we are talking about spiritual reality, and science can't help us in this area.
but still many people feel''empty'' and without purpose of life...
BECAUSE THEY ARE POOR

..
This is individual. I know people who are rich in material things (money, cars etc.) but feel empty inside. And on the other side there are people who have nothing but family and they are happiest people I know.
So do i..
But it's even worse without money

..
Having problems with no money is a lot worse than having problems with money. TRUST ME.
You do know most people need god to help them..
Oh god help me my son needs shoes and i cannot afford them please someone help me..
Oh and this women suffers with depression how much more depressed will she feel than the rich person?.
10% are really rich and happy even if they get sad or depression they will not suffer like the 90%
Always a worry for the 90%..
Like school bills hospital bills mortgage bills ..Now imagine they suffer with depression they still got to go to work with an illness or the whole family collapses ..
Not for a depressed rich person..
LIFE IS HARD FOR THE POOR..IT CAN MAKE PEOPLE MENTAL ..
Just being poor can cause stress then you can become mental..
OH GOD PLEASE HELP ME

..
Now imagine 10% was poor and the 90% was rich? They be not much need to call for god..
Unless your pissed and the room is spinning
