Does God/any form of religion have a place in todays society?

[Bully_Pulpit]

Damn dro, droppin gems eh? Does god or any form of religion have place in this society, yes it does and according to the bible the last time it didn't have a place, shit got real fucked up, if you believe in those things. Having said that I am seeing a real effort to break down the old world religion, society is degrading before our eyes. I feel bad for the current generation and what this planet is going to be like in the next 15-20 years.

As long as niggas aren't smart/clever enough to think outside of the box that they grew up with over their head, it will have a place.

Yep, DRO basically put it down. I dont see how advancing technology necessitates the belief that God doesn't exist. The 2 are compatible. U would be surprised @ hw many youngns actually believe in God and openly worship HIM. Personaly I believe God exists too. All the faculties in my brain cannot compute the thought that the earth, the solar system and the entire universe and everything there in just happened by "chance". The thought that "In the beginning there was NOTHING and somehow that created SOMETHING". Nah cuh, and the fact that our organs and other organisms all have a purpose. Examine ur anatomy whoadie, check out how all those body parts just work together and how they function interdependently. U mean to say thats a coincidence? Nah dun...someone (God) created all of that. But to each his own nah'mean. I cant knock u if u aint convinced God exists. It's personal belief @ da end of the day

Not the biggest fan of organized religion, but yeah, 20 years from now, religion isn't gonna have much of a place in society anymore. How many 20-somethings go to religious services regularly?

1 Corinthians 1:25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.

HUMANS ARE GONE CONTINUE TO THINK THEY ARE GOD AND THAT THEY DONT NEED HIM...MORE POWER TO THEM

By quoting the primary text of the religious mythology of your choice, you've substantiated my statement.

Once a Sign comes that proves Revelations of what was previously unexplainable the world will have new religos and sects.

With all this Technlogy, the world will have to Face the Reality of Reincarnation when people begin to be born and finding pictures and youtube videos of themselves in their past lives with a different name and family all re arranged.

Peope are waiting on Jesus but fail to realize that Jesus was Elijah and before that Mel(something), point I'm trying to make is everytime Jesus Reincarnated he didn't have the same name. He came with a different name.

Thats really about every man based on their own Karma. We all come back with different names, re arranged family members and pretty much no real recollection of your past life and if you do recall it, that your own personal blessing.

The thing is this, you an't reach everyone and God knows whom he gives Guidance to as he is the best knower.

In my opinion, neither religion nor theism are necessary, but you're kidding yourself if you think that either are going anywhere.

Sure, our science and technology will plug up more gaps in our knowledge that a god once filled, but believers will always find a new hole to shove their god of choice in to.

 

[J-GUTTA]

OF COURSE GOD IS RELEVANT TODAY, YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW...

TECHNOLOGY IS SIMPLY MAN MADE AND CAN FAIL AT ANYTIME.. WHY WOULD YOU PLACE ALL OF YOUR FAITH IN MAN? YOU KNOW HOW SHADY, GREEDY AND SELFISH WE CAN BE...

GOD DOESNT NEED TO UPDATE NOTHING, HIS WORD/THE BIBLE DOESNT CHANGE, CAUSE THE TRUTH DOESNT CHANGE.

You really believe this of the Bible or any religious book for that matter?

 

[caddo man]

All that shit that went down. Yeah they have too.

And it is funny that people that believe in GOD dont correlate their religion to MAN. But people that dont believe in religion do and both use the same argument for why they dont. Because of the flaws of man!!!!!

I beleive in God when it's convenient

HAHAH... 95% OF EVERYTHING YOU HAVE LEARNED, CAME FROM SOMEBODY ELSE.. SO WHATS YOUR POINT?

The key word from fiat_money 8:15 is "only". If you believe something only because someone told you to or because you are unable to rationalize it using the information available to you, then you are unable to think for yourself.

While it's true that 100% of objective information comes from outside of a person; if that person can't logically process any of that information on their own, then they fail to think for themselves.

There are two ways that religious mythology texts remain "100% true" to a person; the first is if they don't actually read it for themselves, and the second is if that text is all they read.

This is why even biblical scholars don't think that the Christian bible is "100% true".

DID YOU PRAY BEFORE YOU BOUGHT THAT SILK "BOUT IT BOUT IT" BUTTON UP?

BIBLE, YES.. OTHER RELIOUS BOOKS, DONT KNOW.

NOW, THERE S A DIFFERENCE IN GOD CHANGIN HIS MIND VS. MAN ACTUALLY CHANGING THE BIBLE TO DECIEVE PEOPLE

So how do you know you got Gods version and not mans?

Dro you know before the Bible came into publication it was hand copied over and over...So you mean to tell me with all good intentions as Jesus Christ followers may have had nothing was changed? We can't even get IC myths straight but these cats kept it 100?

From what I remember you go to a church that uses the New Testament right? So nothing changed from the Old Testament? This is a serious question too.

one thing I most see non-believers fail to remember is the important "fact" that religion and the Power of God itself,

is not rooted in rationale or logical thinking, it's rooted in faith

which to my knowlege has yet to be scientifically explained

"Faith" is easy to explain in this context, it's simply believing in something. Some people take this further, and believe in things despite a lack of proof or the existence of refuting proof; this is when they approach "blind faith".

Just because someone says that their belief is rooted in "faith", it doesn't give their claims/beliefs any more/less substantiation.

I could claim that [ insert ridiculous untestable assertion here ] ; whether my belief is based in "faith" or not would have no effect on its validity.

 

[Shuffington]

HAVING FAITH IS NOT AN EASY TASK WHATSO EVER. I THINK IT TAKES A STRONG PERSON TO BELIVE IN SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE NOT SEEN

Why would you do that?

 

[Bodhi]

False. God updated his laws from the old to the new testamenet. Not only that, he "changed his mind" (which is ridiculous) about certain matters in the old testament.

Yea. You ever been to jail? Mofos in there get real religious.
