What's the point of religion?

Question

What's the point of religion if I already feel fulfilled and content? I feel I have good morals and make it a point to always try to improve and be selfless and to love and to be accepting. If my parents were able to instill this in me without religion...what is the point of it?

Answer

You don't HAVE to have a religion, if you don't want to! That's fine too! :) I've explored many and always felt the same, I live my morals and I have strong ideals and I don't need much else!

Answer

I don't think you need religion to learn about morals. There plenty of people with good morals who aren't religious, and just as many people with bad morals, lots of judgement and hate for a diversity of people who claim to be religious, and base some of this hate on their religious beliefs. 
Religion is the belief in a controlling power. (Or multiples). So I would say that the point of religion is to find a community with similar beliefs as you have, when it comes to this higher power. It's like going to any other social event, just that a higher power is here the common interest.

Answer

I personally feel comfortable believing there is a God of some description and an eternal life.

Answer

There is no point.  It was created to control people.

Answer

It's not God called us to have a relationship not religion. Religion is controlled & The word says who the Son sets free is free indeed... He gives us freewill. He doesn't force Himself on you He gives you the option to serve Him. Unfortunately some people uses His name to spread hate & unforgiveness but Hes full of love & is there when You look for Him. Christianity isnt a religion though.

Answer

Oh that's a very deep philosophical question :)

Answer

Religion is important for me because I need to feel that there's something else out there. That we aren't just wandering around aimlessly on this earth without direction and SOMETHING to believe in. I think about growing up NOT praying and NOT having something to believe in and that makes me sad. It's nice to have someone to talk to at all times. To pray and feel heard. To trust something higher than yourself. To think that someone out there is watching out for you. To know that someone has a plan for you and your life. I LOVE knowing that and o feel so good about it! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
