What are the things a religion should do in man's life to show that man has found the right religion?

Should it be effortless wealth, health, or brilliance like in the garden of eden in the Holy Bible, or fame, good job, love, charity, generousity or to grow old and have seeds ?

There should be something that we assume a true religion must address in a man's to prove the authenticity of that religion.

I will like to here from every single Nairalander.

CodeTemplar:

Questions as these rely on a definition. Yours, CodeTemplar seems to imply "effortless wealth, health, or brilliance like in the garden of eden in the Holy Bible, or fame, good job, love, charity, generousity or to grow old and have seeds", while wiki gives:

Religion is a cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, morals, worldviews, texts, sanctified places, prophecies, ethics, or organizations, that relates humanity to supernatural, transcendental, or spiritual elements. However, there is no scholarly consensus over what precisely constitutes a religion.

The "essence", taking the definition I've given above, is simply to educate, albeit, archaic. If you could imagine a world where those around you have not been religionised into recognising commandments and loving their neighbours, you just might understand.

I can bet you wouldn't like living in a world devoid of people who have been religionised, unless you think there'd be brains in peoples' heads without it, which the evidence does not support.

CodeTemplar:


You are taking my question as a definition and that not what it is. I was only asking when I listed those things I bold in your post. The question still stands anyway. What should a true religion do.

HellVictorinho:

Both religion and spirituality are unnecessary

budaatum:

Define "religion". Define "spirituality".

Let us compare and reason then see if they are necessary or not.

HellVictorinho:

The definition that distinguishes religion/spirituality from other matters is the one that involves God(s).
Since God(s) can't be,these matters shouldn't be,too.

budaatum:

But they happen to be. Still, it matters not. Define the religion/spirituality that you state "shouldn't be".

You must after all have a what they are before stating they are not.

HellVictorinho:

People define religion/spirituality in different ways but I think it's more distinguishable to define religion/spirituality as that which involves practices that are done towards the expression of a belief in the existence of living things that cannot be seen with any technology or/and the human eyes.

budaatum:

That is why I am asking for your own different way. No?

What do you mean by, "can not be seen"? By whom? A blind person? But lets leave that for later

Define religion and spirituality anyway you like. Just ensure it is your own "people define".

Please note. You do not have to if you don't want to.

HellVictorinho:

I have defined it as that which involves practices that are done towards the expression of a belief in spirits/Gods.

budaatum:

So, religion is specific to "the expression of a belief in spirits/Gods"?

Essentially, one can not have a religion of other things one believes in like money worship, or MillWall, or aliens, or just books, it has to specifically be "done towards the expression of a belief in spirits/Gods"?

Do you know Buddhism does not have Gods and spirits? Is Buddhism a religion, hell?

HellVictorinho:

It can also be defined as that which involves practices that are done according to the philosophy/reasoning of an influential person or/and as they are said to be done by such person.

budaatum:

So, just about anything can be a religion so far as I use my brain or taught it by an influential person?

To be honest, I expected a much more defined definition of religion from you, but all you seem to be giving me is what religion involves, as if telling me what is involved in something is a definition of the thing.

Hell, how can religion be bad just because it involves "practices that are done according to the philosophy/reasoning of an influential person or/and as they are said to be done by such person"?

What if the philosophy/reasoning of an influential person is better that my own philosophy/reasoning? Would it be a bad thing to abandon my own philosophy/reasoning for the superior philosophy/reasoning of an influential person?

Is it bad for your philosophy/reasoning to influence me because religion is bad? Must I refuse to learn from you?

HellVictorinho:

It is the one that has to do with God(s) that I was referring to as unnecessary.
What else do you want to hear?

HellVictorinho:
It's still impossible for NOTHING to exist!!

budaatum:

Define "religion". Define "spirituality".

Let us compare and reason then see if they are necessary or not.

budaatum:
I can't see what has to do with



Did I miss something?
