Your religion is proved to be false

I'll be mislead to life without a religion. i do all things that i like and desire even it's bad or not.I'll be misguided.

I think my life is not as good as this without my religion. I am a Catholic but I do not do most of the things that a normal Catholic would do. I do not go to church every Sunday. I do not memorize common prayers and I do not take every religious lesson seriously. I just act as an ordinary person. When I need spiritual uplifting I just pray sincerely. I believe that there is someone up there responsible for everything that happens with our life. There are many lessons from the church. There are many religions and many beliefs. I respect them all as long as they do not kill people. I hate cult that kills innocent people. Literally kills. I do not care what others believe in and whatever they say about me. For me religion is not a name. If it does not exist I do not care. I care about humanity and attitude. I care about the way people treat each other and how good they are. I care about respect and equal treatment. What matters to me is that you have your own relationship with God. I hate people who are always bragging about their religions and what they believe in and convince you to join them. I just want them shut them mouth. Again I do not care whatever you believe in as long as you will not reiterate it over and over again. I have a strong faith on my own and no one could remove that. If Catholic is a false religion then that does not matter to me. That is just a name, a tag, a religion. But my own belief will remain. Maybe if there is no religion when I was born then I won't be like this. But I know for a fact that I will still be a good person as long as there are good people around me and as long as my great grandparents who raised me taught me good things.

Well that's what I always think about atheist, if it was me I would have probably either jumped of a building or go into depression for life or become so restless that I wouldn't sleep!
Because the only thing that keeps me calm and hopeful is the fact that even after I die I won't just become nothingness but that I will have the real life after this test is over where I'll live forever.
I don't want people thinking that we think of these desires and goals first and then we conjure up the religion to fulfill them because I'm a Muslim and I've more than enough proof in the Quran to know what is right and what is conjured up.

I'm not religious but I am spiritual and my personal path does consist of parts of various religions...That said, if at any time the religions etc that my path is based on turned out to not be real or true etc it wouldnt ahve any effect on me...I would continue to live, belief, behave etc as I do now..Why? because its whats right for me and my life. Its helped me conquer personal demons, be more compassionate, accepting and loving...Its helped me grow as not only a person but also as a mother, wife, friend and so on....

Flip of the coin, if it were to be PROVEN that the Christian God was real and the bible etc etc I still wouldnt change my beliefs or ways...I mean why would I? Whats worked in my life has worked in my life and I would have no reason to turn my back on the things that have been nothing but positive..that would IMO be foolish really

Well,there is a theory like your statement,I am well aware of.That,the aliens have selected us for some experiments and soon after they reach a conclusion,the world will be destructed.But I don't know the reality and don't have any proofs to support this.Yet,I like to say,this theory is there like any religious beliefs.Cheers!

This is not the response you are looking for, but a question. Sorry. In your world what do the aliens that are experimenting with us look like. I am a very visual person and I think I need that.

Since religion can not be proved or there would only be one - we are kind of living the same way you are. Believing that something is real and accurate with no way to prove it.

Nothing would change.

There is a difference between being a religious person and being a spiritual person. Ideally, a religious person should evolve into a spiritual person. When spirituality blossoms rightly, religious barriers do not matter too much.

In my religion Hinduism, there are innumerable sects, sub-sects, different God forms for worship, different philosophies and naturally there are and there will be lots of conflicts in perceptions. Religion as practiced at mass level and as expounded at the exalted level have a vast difference in between.

If at all I get a feeling that "my religion is proved false", it could be my particular sect or sub-sect and the the philosophies/ God forms/ religious practices followed at mass level apparently appearing "false" to me. This sense of falsehood can happen because I am not mature enough to grasp the true substance behind the external observances; because I get disillusioned by the priests or "low level Gurus" who do not practice or are ignorant of what they preach; because I never bothered to look into the core of the religious teachings behind the multitude of sects; because I have not seriously tried to study what great religious masters in Hinduism have expounded about "the unity behind diversity" in my religion.

So, if I am truly spiritual (and not just religious), then, when I get disillusioned, I will really look for answers to my lingering questions and doubts which could truly satisfy me within my religion at a different school of philosophy or practice.

Hinduism allows me this freedom of choice. I am not really duty-bound to stick to the religious precepts and practices of my sect or sub-sect where I have been born. I can look for alternative paths and guidance.

Hinduism says "go and surrender to a Satguru (a Guru of highest order, who knows the highest truth by the strength of his own experience) and seek guidance". A satguru will be such an evolved soul that he can grasp as to what sort of religious practice is best suited for my temperament and will guide me suitably in that path.

Thus, I will seek appropriate guidance from within my religion itself.

hi mike. very interestingly enough you've steered clear of your discussion going controversial so far!

Like you i am not religious.. however your idea seems more plausible to me then any religion.. my mom has the same theory.. after all.. if you look at the planet as a whole.. one of these things just doesn't belong.... we are the only thing on this planet that doesn't make a whole lotta sense.. that and.. the pyramids thing in egypt, and the other giant structures that seems impossible for man to have made with none of the machinery we have today..

My friend recently said (he is religious, somedays, and others he's not*shrug*) he thinks that all the miracles they talk about in the bible, like "with a giant glow he levitated into the air" (i dunno direct quotes) he thinks the people just didn't have the right words to discribe what exactly they were seeing but think it was alien ships and aliens.. i have no idea what to think.. but i try not to think about it too much.. after all it matters little what we believed after we die if all of it is false, and it matters not after you die if religion was true and you didnt' believe cause there's nothing you can do about it after your dead!

To answer your question.. My life wouldnt change any.. i still live my life and believe in myself instead of a false, or possibly false hope. after all.. praying mmay seem to help some, but doing has always helped me!

Satan is trying to misguide. He is trying to take you to hell. Satan is a big fool.

My life would go the same and it would not affect the way I lived. But it would surely affect how others interact with me. being in a so called secular country where political parties take religion as their base, this would affect a lot of people around me which would affect me in some way or the other.
