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 Wink..

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.
The void God was not complete. This is the place for family, friends and animals. When a business takes all the time and it turns out. This often happens with rich people because the poor have more time for personal life.
A persons with 25 million is just as poor as a persons living in a council home..

Yes nice life but no real power..
Enough power to smash and build the board back up again for the next game of chess..
That's power Wink..
And that's the 1 to 10% of the elite ..These people love you loving religion ..
KEEPS POOR PEOPLE BUSY..

YER JUST GIVE THEM A BOOK AND THEY BE SQUABBLING ALL YEAR Cheesy..

NO but you got to pay your taxes     SHHHH here you go a bible  chapter 4 verse 6
MAKE YOUR OWN MONEY DUMB SHITS Cheesy..
And don't forget if we have a war throw your poor children on the front line..
should lower those begging bums..
