Religion

Religion  

 

      Religion is an organized collection of belief and cultural systems that relate humanity with spirituality. There are many different religions, each one with their own moral and world views. We all know that each religion, no matter which, has their own preferred lifestyle views and tend to guide its followers with some laws, ethics, and/or moral views. Every religion has its own way of practicing their beliefs. Some ways could be sermons, rituals, veneration of a deity or god, sacrifices, prayer, music, dance, among other. 

 

       I believe there is what I call the "Architect of the Universe" but I don not believe in any religion since they are made by humans. The religions that we have today criticize antique gods and religions. What they do not know is that those who believed in the antique gods, like Egyptians and Greeks, defended and where able to die for their gods, like today some people say they would do. I think in 2,000 years there are going to exist new religions and they are going to criticize today's religions because it is a cycle that human race have since it emerged the way it did.

I agree whit this person that has commented on this room debate of the New York Times. when I saw this debate I felt that people need to believe in something and that is why religion was created. Everything is based on faith, a term to describe what is humanly impossible, believe without seen things, that is a feeling. Religions say that you have to submit to their commandments or you will be punished. That, in my opinion, is just the most ancient method to control the masses called fear.
