no one is saying society will fall or you're an automatic bad person if you give up religion. Hope and faith in god is just questioned, honestly i just overlook it. God may be real but I don't see him take part in any human business, provide any sort of help, or even care really. I'm going to refer to him as he/him. He is probably just watching us and that is it. Like i said in earlier threads in this section, praying and hoping god will do something is pointless to me. I don't expect him to do anything, the only real thing you can do is believe in yourself.
Correct, sir!! People who sit around and pray to God hoping for a miracle will not change whatever situation they're in. I think the idea of a prayer is more of a confidence booster than anything. Everyone feels more comfortable with the thought of extra "help". The fact of the matter is, you are the only one who can change the outcome of your life. Not some "higher spirit".
