What is Religon Questions __Factual Information__ May 2011 ﻿﻿WHY WAS THE WORLD CREATED? Many religions have different opinions. Christianity believes God created the world in seven days. Buddhists do not have any position on this matter, they believe that they should live in the present and the future instead of contemplating the past. Hindus believed there was an ocean covering the galaxy in which Vishnu slept. When he woke he commanded his servant Brahma to create the world.

HOW SHOULD PEOPLE LIVE? Religions such as Buddhism or Christianity dictate you should 'love thy neighbour as thy loves thine world', be friendly to all. Religion can also determine clothes, festivals, food and how to live. Muslims wear turbans or cover their faces, monks wear orange robes. Festivals declare fasting or love and fireworks. Several animals are forbidden to be eaten, being the holy animal.

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH SUFFERING? <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Various religions come up with unique protests to this questions. Punishment for not having faith in a god is an example. Another that I found was interesting was; 'There are two types of suffering, moral sin and natural causes. Moral sin is caused by you, disobedience results in this. And would earth be pleasant to live in an Earth where everything is solved by God?

A Greek myth stated that Chiron would ferry you across the River Styx, a river of dreams and wishes come true. Depending on the deeds you committed in the previous life you shall be judged. You could be sent to the Fields of Punishment where you were forced to suffer eternal punishment. There was the Fields of Asphodel or even the Isles of the Blessed for heroes. Another religion says you will either be sent to Hell, a fiery pit of demons, or Heaven, a perpetual paradise. However the idea was the same, decided by how you led your life on earth you would be punished or rewarded. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;">

However science is the most logical reason, (why would an immortal decide to create earth, for entertainment?) perhaps the contact of matter and non matter caused an explosion.

They all suffer because nobody cares. Money is enough for most; yet others yearn for simple gifts. Freedom, love, rights. Religion has not and will not cure this. Once people start to see the true world and act.

A few will decide you get transported across a river of dreams and walk under a three headed dog. Others protest you will suffer in a fiery pit or a paradise in the clouds (a flying tourist attraction?) depending on your deeds. Maybe it's all of them. Or maybe when you die, you're dead. You cease to exist, only to live in the minds of others.

I'd rebel for my country, resister like "uncle." I'd want to be like this because what the Japanese are doing is wrong. They're savage, why would they want to something like that? Greed for power? They're burning the national tree of Korea, taking away what is dear to them most. A country deserves freedom, rights. Each place and each human from there is unique. Sooner or later the Koreans will rebel, the flag will be flying once again. However if I were Japanese and asked to justify what I was doing, I could reasonably say we mean no harm, those people were breaking law, we were doing it all for the good of the people. (If I were a snooty Japanese I'd also say that it was us who were kind enough to shelter and provide trade for them. And all around the world people were sacrificing items to help their nation in war.) War. The leading cause of troubles around the world from my point of view. Why are people doing this when greater troubles lie in front of their nose? War isn't fair. Some could say those are words of a looser but bluntly put, the point of war is that brutal, strong people get what they want whereas others have to suffer. An example is the Romans and the Greeks. They finally conquered them but in the end they lost more than they gained. They destroyed an entire civilization, ruined years of work all nothing now, remains now lie in exhibitions or buried in the sand, no one left to tell the sad tale. So in the end, only ideas are immortal not even gods. They live on and one in peoples hearts healing and destroying. Is this really what life is about?
