I feel like religion is for the weak at times. Whats your criticisms and thoughts?
A lot of times I feel like religion is for the weak and hopeless…
I know religion isn’t really for the weak, but when I think of people who join a religion based on desperation. I feel otherwise; It feels like people just want the easy way out. They aren’t making the decision because they truly believe in it, but want a escape.
It bothers me sometimes.
yeah i’ll be harshly criticized. Go for it.
You are wrong in one point.
Where you say "I know religion isn’t really for the weak"
You are wrong there…religion is certainly only for the weak..the weak minded.
Weak minded people who are unable to make conscious decisions for their own lives and their own selves…
Weak minded people who don’t know right from wrong without being told what it is…
Weak minded people who need justification that they are more important than they actually are..
Weak minded people who need to impose their views (sometimes violently) on others…
The very weak in our society who need to be protected and treated…not given justification for their own delusions.

Religion for the most parts is strongest among the uneducated, I think that says it all.

Not necessarily "weak minded", religion is FOR people that need to feel control over things which they are powerless.
What religion DOES is where it gets sticky because people will use it to have power over others.

religion is for everyone seeking for the best in life and after death.

yeah all religions do is get in the way and cause more problems than what we need!
Atheist ism (non religion) should be the way of life… atheists believe we should build a hospital rather than a church! and from the sounds of it a church just sucks up your time and money for something wasteful!

Maybe religion is for some to feel a sense of belonging to a group or a higher purpose. Maybe to think we humans is as far as it goes when it comes to life and intelligence is hard to grasp and quite depressing, so religion gives us the freedom to live knowing that something bigger and better than us does have the power.

Hi kelvin. The concept of Religion was actually putforth to control the masses. People who are out of their ways and lost are the ones who seek religion. They just find some comfort and nothing else. Its psychological. As you said its certainly for the weak. You can see the proofs for yourself. Look around you and observe the people who are very spiritual, they should have been losers in one or the other way. Meanwhile, people who know to drive their own destiny by intelligence dont seek god because they dont have time to. Most of the strong are not religious. Hope this helps. Also i invite you to Religion and Spirituality room where we debate about it a lot. Its more interesting than philosophy. tc

Religion is often for people who feel like they need to believe in the same things the other people in their society believe in. In some cases they do it out of fear. In those cases, it may be just weak mindedness, or it may be self preservation. Nobody wants to be an outcast, and who knows what the truth is, anyway, so why not just go along with it… (that’s the thinking, anyway.)
But few people who strongly believe in a religion can admit it is for any reason other than their personal grasp of the truth. They may change their religious beliefs only when they feel they have learned some better truth than what they had known before. This feeling is genuine and unshakable in such people. It is as real to them as any sense of truth you have yourself. So to realy criticize such people, you first have to admit that your own sense of what is true may be just as faulty, and your mind may be just as weak at times, just about different things.

I think jesus was based on someone that went around telling people to feel good. And then someone changed his name to jesus and started controlling people with it for evil.
There have been scientific studies that display the power of emotion on the world.
When enough people in the world at one moment are feeling peace and contentment, crime rates and murders drop for the amount of time those people are concentrating on feeling peaceful and content. But the very "field of we don’t know what" that allows energy to be turned into matter in the universe responds to human emotion for some reason. Some people call it the Higgs-Boson field.
There have been quite a few books written about this.
I think theistic religions may have been started to preach this… but then were corrupted one by one.
They only "religion"(and I call it that loosely) that seems to be of good use and not corrupted is buddhism. It just teaches well being.
Nowadays though, the biggest religions are for people hiding from problems that if they took a little time to think about, they could solve. People are lazy though and want someone to tell them the "truth" instead of finding it themselves.

There’s many religions, there’s only one God.
God is good. Choosing to follow God means that one chooses good over evil.
What’s weak about that?

I take it you mean orthodox, institututionalized religion.
Four factors are involved here, power, presumption,guilt and fear. First you claim authority ‘from above’, albeit by all-too-worldly ceremony, then you instil guilt, the guilt of sin -and it is of the ‘original’ kind, there is no way to escape, you are born with it – then you create a hell as a punishment for that and other sins, then you invent a rite through which the sinner may be delivered and by which you can keep tabs on the goings-on in the community, the whole contributing to your livelihood. Very clever indeed and very church-like.
It is amazing that so many still fall prey to this elaborate ploy.
