Fernweh Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Life is tragic and religion only adds to the tragedy. Entire civilizations spend their time in this life devoted to the next life that does not exist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipVanWinkle Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Very well said and, unfortunately true. But the good news is that evolution gave us certain coping devices which, for most, makes life tolerable and even fun at times. I think almost all that we humans do after the absolute necessities of life are obtained are intended to divert our attention from our short life by delusions , illusions, self concealment,through love, hate, politics, work, play, games,education, consumption, reading, movies, videos, internet, religion, clubs,charities, travel, hobbies,marrying and having and taking care of children, drinking, drugs, traveling, and above all, (the real religion of the masses)sports. Sex ,of course, is a necessity, else it would be at the top of the list. Actually these strategies work pretty well, except when taken to excess. The best(as part of charity) is direct involvement in helping people less fortunate that yourself. Corny or not, itis the most rewardinfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Religion is not a charity, it is a self serving organization whose sole purpose is its own perpetuation and growth. Any help to people it causes is purely gratuitous. bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
