One of the religion problem is, always think after life. And never think the life now. What the heck you care after life when you won't going to remember? What you care after life when people destroying the world and life now? Would you have after life if there is no life tommorow?
" Its not like what you said god start to notice you and ask what you want from god..if like that, I also want. " - Bro, it is call karma lah. What you do now will result what you get later. I always have this result.
I said religion. Not specific religion. Religion rule is write by the earlier guy who is the founder (god). And it keep adding and rewriting over hundred of century. And who keep write and add it? What are their qualify? Do they consult the world? Cause I see many not logic and crazy rule in religion.
Current life I do good thing for next life.. feedback= still I do good thing in current life ????
You should say it specifically instead generally , its unfair to other religion la =_= and you don't seem understand what I said, its not religion's fault, is we the human's fault, religion never tell us to do bad thing , ..OMG, I've been repeating this for like 2-3 time?>.<
Mind telling which religion keep adding their rules? so far I know only one, mind share it with me?
and what kind of crazy rules??
okay... wanna stop debating le .. like I said everyone got their own way of thinking

We dont need a guide, especially not one that is thousands of years old. The problem is we have people who dont know what 'moderate' is even if it hit them hard on their head. To say we need religion as a moral compass even until today, is outright stupid. We cannot keep falling back on the argument that we need religion 'to keep the sheep in line', in reference to brainless people who will do everything they are told, ironically the very same people who will gladly strap bombs to themselves and blow up a market square, the very same people who blindly will disagree that there is something fundamentally wrong with the Catholic church in the present age.
Have we really gone so much backwards that we need a god-knows-how-old-piece-of-literature to tell us how we should live and how we should not? No, common sense should prevail, but sadly, common sense is lacking.
Religion has become largely irrelevant these days, and its being used for purposes far different than what it was originally intended for. Of course, not everyone is like that, but I think when you've seen one you've seen em all.
People can argue that religion makes them complete, makes them whole, that their belief in god fills them with a sense of purpose, but all these are superficial arguments, in the sense that do we, as humans, have come to specifically require all these things in our lives? No, that is not the case. For if it was so, how is that we can have so many atheists (Numbers increasing by the day, watch out!) who lead exemplary lives without the need to turn to any supernatural deity for guidance.
I repeat myself - Religion is irrelevant is modern society. The only problem is that the disparity in intelligence quotients in humans are so disparate, some form of book-keeping device is needed to control the lower end of the intelligence spectrum. What a pity...
Human got brain, knowing what is right or wrong. If its good, we follow it. If its bad, we still follow it? then too bad like you said, brainless

and there's a limit of believing ..
