Sure some people may say that religion was only made to comfort people,

And that's Okey, some people need to be comforted, some people need to live their life alongside a belief system that forgives them which inturn may allow them to continue forward. Some people need a system that they can turn to when they have inner turmoil. Some people would rather believe in smt they can't proof than rather be uncertain for all their entire lives. Some people would rather pray to the unknown than rather sit there. Some people need comfort in knowing that someone watches over them and loves them while others don't. And that's completely Okey.

We simply need to understand that some people need religion and can't live without it, and some don't need religion. One thing that we can focus on is abolishing any religious practices that may bring harm towards the believer or non believers ( for example extremism, honour killings,child marriages, ostracism and what not.)

I feel like we as a society can maybe try and live alongside religion, since obviously some groups of people desperately need it to function.

When somebody randomly becomes supper obsessed with a religion and randomly starts becoming hyper religious especially in the Abrahamic religions it's referred to as religious psychosis.

But when people start turning to other things and being unusually obsessed whith things like the universe, tarot cards, crystals, rocks, statues, mother nature, zodiac signs, stars & moons and start praying and also worship all this things it's not considered psychosis, like be fr ... All this things can be considered as a religion as long as anyone uses them as a belief system. But yall would never say it religious psychosis when people of this beliefs start doing wierd shi 🙄🤨

And don't use the excuse that Abrahamic religions are the most popular and how their followers deconstruct more.

In most religious traditions, faith does not require 100% certainty.

Faith is generally understood as trust or confidence, even when you don't have complete proof or absolute certainty.

For example, in Christianity, the Bible contains people who believed while still struggling with doubt. One well-known example is a man who says to Jesus, "I believe; help my unbelief!" (Mark 9:24), expressing both faith and uncertainty at the same time.One thing about believing in religion is having faith. Having faith simply means believing in an ideology without being 100% certain about it.

So when an atheists asks a Christian of why do they believe in God they don't really have a solid full proof answer as when it comes to down to it, it's all about faith, wich simply requires one to believe with having 100% certainty.

But then here comes the questions: How can you simply believe in smt without 100% proof and certainty? 🤔

My answer is that people simply love the idea of having faith in religion as it erases the burden of proof when it comes to them explain their reason of believing in a higher power.

Feel free to prove me wrong if my post is ass ☺️

I'm gay and as long as God loves me i don't see the problem,

Cause i go to church, and i try my best to live a righteous life like Christ, it's not my fault that i like men, i tried not being gay and i tried to pray it away, but I'm still gay and a Christian and that's Okey in my opinion

One thing that i realized in this Christianity vs atheism debates is that Christians don't know how to debate.

You can not use religious aspects like holy texts, the Bible, scripture, prophecy, sermons, testimonies, religious morals and values and so on to convince an atheist to belive in God, all this have zero merit and meaning towards the atheists so it doesn't reall change their worldly view

But then comes the questions, what can Christians use to conceive atheists to believe in God? 🤔
