Is religion even healthy?

[HENI]

Is religion even healthy? I'd say sports are.

 

[Shichi]

Religion provides morals and guidance. I say it's very healthy.

I'm sorry if I assumed but can you please stop?

 

[EnDash]

[Yuse]

a man without morals is an animal

 

[Sir Blades]

Here we go again. I personally like it. I think its healthy.

 

[EnDash]

lack of religion doesn't mean lack of morals.

 

[KillerbYo]

**** u, thats healthy.

 

[Sakura Michiko]

It depends. Some people use religion and do stupid stuff like faith healing, kill others for having a different view point, or harass them. I am not a religious person

You don't need religion for that. I've met many non religion people who have good morals.

Being a mindless follower is unhealthy, things that help to guide you in the right way and help you become a better person is quite healthy.

 

[Sapiens Sequax Sex Semita]

Im sure it can be for some people but so could atheism or being agnostic or whatnot but for people who take it to extremes whether its personal or force-feeding it down peoples throats it seems unhealthy.

Beinga mindless follower has nothing to do with Religon, that is generally what people do when they praise Hitler, or Bill Maher, or any inspirational person just following orders.

 

[BanGinji]

People inherently want to be happy, at peace and Good. While there are those of us who use some aspects of religious ideology for negativity, the most dominant primary theme in just about all well known religions is Goodness. I've even heard satanist say that they worship him because he "accepts everyone" and "doesn't shun people"...

regardless of weather or not you believe in anything, it's been shown that generally people who find solace in some sort of religion are often overall happier. And of course happiness has a positive influence to healthiness.

 

[Bling Kai]

Morals are just inconsistent and everyone has their own views on them. I dont even know why peoole try and follow them anymore.

 

[Lightbringer]

Let me just say if I didn't have my faith, my life would be in shambles.

I've had a very unconventional life, but my belief in a higher power was the foundation to reprieve from my past life.

I think religion is one of the most important things in a human's life. But like everything else, it is taken for granted or some people misuse their believe as an excuse to boast and force it on others.

I do believe everyone has the right to believe in anything they want. I just think it's more beneficial to believe in something rather than nothing.
