I can’t understand how religion still exists in 2016. In this modern age, we have computers, cars, internet, we have technology to see objects which are thousands of light years away from us, we have knowledge to figure out what something which happened billion years ago looked like from a piece of rock, we have recyclable Starbucks cups, yet people still believe there is a invisible man in the sky watching over everything.
Look, I’m not saying that the universe was not created by a intelligent being. Who knows what caused the Big Bang? Maybe some ultra-powerful high-intelligent super-being made the Big Bang out of a boredom and that’s how the universe happened. But that being sure wasn’t God, Allah, Visnu, Odin, Zeus or any other god which humans have made up throughout the millions of years.
Maybe because religion offers more than you recognize. Again, this feels like an ignorant statement. You don’t have to understand why it means something to someone else. The lack of appreciation for religion, even when you find it pointless, is folly. Religion has value, even if you don’t see it.
