RELIGIONS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON HUMANITY

Some people think that we do not really need religions since they are responsible
for ignorance and superstitious beliefs, and for murdering millions in the name of
God. Others claim that there is no morality without the religion and besides, many
people feel lost and scared in such a big world. spreading

Which view do you agree with? Use specific reasons and examples to support your
choice.

JOSE DE LOS REYES DIAZ PADILLA

It is very true that in the name of God the worst barbarities have been committed,
but these acts are committed by sick people, who have had lack in their lives, while
believing that God's love is great, father protects us, and we impels us to go out, and
also that we are special beings because we come from a much more special being
who is God.

JOHARY PEREZ

Each one of us is free to believe in any religion they choose, or just refuse to be a
follower. Many people (including myself) are believers: some of them are attached
faithfully to that religion, others are more realistic. The important thing here is, if you
decide to believe in a god or other kind of divinity, make sure that this faith is
conscious, aware, with tolerance and respect for others who do not share the same
religious thoughts.

Unfortunately, science and religion are not really close. In history, it is known the
hunts of brilliant (revolutionary) minds made by the church, indeed, many wonderful
minds were killed or shut down because of religion.

Religion often provides a shoulder to cry for people who don't think beyond the limits
that others have created. When someone feels alone and is in a time of need, believe
that there will be someone out there that would listen to every complain to solve
them, but things are not that way. Because of a lot of people who believe that their
destiny is ruled by some kind of force, they do not make efforts to confront their
problems, they blame the others and hope for the good that can bring God. Actually,
I do not know where it says, but there is this saying: -Help yourself so I can help you-
You can't let everything be handled by God. You make your own destiny, and it is
your hands the chance to change things in your life. We all should be supportive with
each other, and not be dumb enough and do not tolerate the intolerance of others, if
we all decide to stop pushing away others with different thoughts, cultures, or
believes, and start learning and sharing our knowledge, we would be leaving in a
better place… not a perfect place, since neither of all of us is, in this huge world.

 I think that the religions is really important for the humanity because if you have
something in believe can be easier the life for example: the religion gives us rules
for how the people need to act and be on the world. The people believe that after
died you can go to the heaven of hell. These thinking do that the people act right
on the world because the religion help that the people have behavior rules

 The religions have an important influence in the politic especially the Catholic
religion. The papa and fathers are important symbols for the people. the
catholic religions has influence in the politic, so if the fathers said something
about some topic in politic is probably the people can believe in their words
and do things for follow father`s words.

Also something things happen in the name of the Lord, and many wars happened
because of religion.

 The young people haven`t believe in Catholic and Christian religions now,
they don't give respect and credibility and in the last moments some fathers
and ministers are involved in things aren't proper for a person that said God`s
words. If for this the religions are losing believers.

 On the world we can find different religions and gods and all this make that
the people have something believe, and reason to explain miracles in the life.
That is important because definitely the people need to believe in something
and act between behavior rules proper in a society

(please do not attach files, so your mates and tutor can easily read your ideas)
about the topic described below.

1. When people believe that their goals are "sacred", it uses more energy and effort
to achieve the goals, so it acts in a focused and, ultimately, more effective in its
achievements.

2. The religion cannot be regarded as a matter of morality and good manners, for
Catholics, it may be, but for believers of other religions, it is a simple story told,
but with no practice in real life.

3. Religion has a sort of survival instinct, for although the central idea of religion
remains constant, (for example, Christianity has the Bible, sacred book to which
they respect and accept blindly, and in which are embodied the bases of his
idealism)

4. Engels says that ... "all religions are nothing more than the fantastic reflection in
the human brain of the external forces that dominate their everyday life

5. Religion gives meaning to life, gives human beings a reason to live and a reason
to live correctly, as God indicates - and with happiness, giving also a "practical
guide" of moral norms, which help to live with this correction and happiness.

6. Religion, for some, is everything, for others, it is nothing, and for the latter, or they
do not care, or they are simply afraid to have an opinion about it.

7. The religion may be conceived by many as an aid to men to behave correctly,

but I believe that this can be done without having to believe in anything more than
in ourselves, for, man, even though he has been destroying the world little by
little, has done wonders, both in the branch of art and in the field of science and
technology.

8. The Religion has not only stalled man in science, but also in the development of
thought. Religion does not teach us, nor does it open the way for us to choose, it
simply shows us a single course, and forces us to follow it blindly, knowing in
advance what its destiny will be. Religion makes us stay in a fixed idea and
remain in it until our death.

9. The religion will always be a polemic subject and clear the most offensive
criticism and will come from those who claim to be very religious and who say
they have the arguments to prove it.

10. The Church is a divine institution and not a human whim. Men can found many
other churches and religions to gather and do good things. To these I respect
and respect those who seek the truth with sincerity I have admiration.

11. The Catholic Church is not just for a group or region. It is for all people, race and
nation. It is everywhere, it is the largest and well organized in the world. Not
because its members are more intelligent but because it is God's work.

12. In other Churches, there are a diversity of Biblical interpretations, only the
Catholic Church has taught the full truth with total consistency everywhere from
the beginning. Only she possesses the Deposit of Faith that contains everything
that Jesus revealed to us: The Bible and Apostolic Tradition.

13. Each one sets his eyes on what interests him: some look to the saints and see
living gospels worthy of being imitated. Others on the other hand only look at the
bad examples to justify the rejection of the Church

14. Today the Church is persecuted, despised and defamed everywhere. But his
moral authority remains an inextinguishable beacon of light that can be hated but
not ignored.

15. Religion is part of the culture of every human being, and represents a great pillar
within society, as it is the point of identification of ideals that have developed; it
is clear that it has been something transcendental, since it should not be left aside
the importance it acquires in the formation of each person.
