Described by St Paul, "cujus Deus venter est - whose God is their belly" (Phil.3,19).  It means that some people think more of earthly pleasures than spiritual ones. Thus eating and drinking too much and other pleasureable things takes precedence over the worship of God.

Um, it might mean worshipping the human body.  Revering it and taking care to always remain pure.  Eat organic and never put anything arificial in your body.\nSome folks are 'into' that.

i believe in Life, Love and Oneness. no need to call it a religion, because religions can seperate and create disharmony. yet, i don't judge anothers view point. if believing what they believe makes them feel good, and keeps them doing good things for others, then it is doing something good. but it is also smart to expand your mind, to open up to other possibilities, and to respect all of life.\ni know, i feel what is true for me. "God" is the creator. and we are also creators, but on a smaller scale. collectively we are a part of God. Energy. Divinity. Life.\n\n*peace

Philosophy is a way of life.  Religion is a way of death.

The life of the spirit as opposed to that of the mind or body-it is the impetus behind religious ideals. \nAs for what true religion is the Bible says this: "...the fast (religious practice) I have chosen is to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke...to deal your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor that are cast out to your house...when you see the naked, that you cover him....Then shall your light break forth as the morning, and your health shall spring forth speedily: and your righteousness shall go before you: the glory of the LORD shall be your rereward....And the LORD shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul..." See Isaiah 58

Religion doesn't want you to know what it was really like back in biblical days. Food always was a problem. Meat was a luxury. After the growing season (there was no refrigeration) if you didn't have enough food to last, or if there was a bad crop or flood or insect damage, the people had to forage for food in order to survive. Which means , pick up anything that was edible, any leaf, plant  or root that could be chewed & swallowed was food. When that was depleated people actually picked up a handful of dirt and swallowed it in order to to take away hunger. If you ate the wrong plant or root you could halucinate. The root of the Payote Cactus, Mugwort,  etc are plants that contain halucinagins. The people didn't know. Eat it and you could see a staff turn into a snake like in the Bible. When Jesus went into the desert for 40 days did he bring a hundred pounds of food? When prophets claim that  they heard God it's never asked. "What did they eat before?" Religion always gives you a cleansed version of what went on in Biblical times (for obvious reasons).  If you would study the History of Civilization on this planet at a university (not from a religion) you will gain a better understanding of what really went on. And you would question a lot of things they tell you to believe. Religion is always much more popular with uneducated people (no offense intended).

MainWorry I thank Jesus and His Holy Mother Mary for answers like yours. \n\nJesus protects us from evil and if God is with us who can be against us.\n\nEvil cannot affect us. If we eat poison unknowlingly but bless the food first nothing will happen to us. \n\nThank you for your question DrTroup!

Human beings can heal themselves better if they have a strong belief in that it is possible to be healed. It is a fact that laughter can make people cure better. So, if a religion can make a person feel better, you might say that religion can heal sickness. But then again: because of what: the religion? Or a persons own strong mind?

I suppose you mean keeping your mind off of unhealthy things.  There are two kinds of health.  There is spiritual health and there is material health.  \n\nSpiritual health is actually the most important kind of health.  Realizing our true spiritual existence is really what separates human beings from animals.  \n\nThe material health is important too, but we just don't want material health to exceed spiritual health in importance.  Material health includes health of the body and mind.  But, may also include social health such as financial and legal.  \n\nBoth spiritual and material health can be improved with the right knowledge.  \n\nFind the knowledge that is good for your two kinds of health.  Associate with those who can encourage your health.  \n\nSo finding better things to do with your mind and body will help you to keep your mind off of unhealthy things.

Yes. I have researched Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity (orthodox, mostly), Islam, Zoroastrian (tho there is not much info out there), and many other ancient religions. I've learned that we are alike in our general beliefs for how a person should live (such as not to lie, kill, cheat, etc.). I've also learned that most of our differences lie in how we worship of how we attain truth, faith, and God.\n\nHere is a quote from Kahlil Gibran translated, "...each religion is merely a drop in the ocean of what is True faith..." - the human mind cannot grasp all that is there....

It seems practising some religions is like a club membership with rules rather than focusing on being a good person + spreading god's love through our actions. There are some persons who hypocritcally following the rules, say attending service but then forgetting the other important stuff that really counts more. Be true to ourselves, follow the path that is right for you...this may not be the same path as for others

I think its healthy..expecially if you don't have a significant other. Not sure if religions forbid it, I sure hope not, because we all do it....

Yes of course. You should think whatever feels best to you. I do believe God is happy that everyone is worshiping Him no matter which religion they choose. I personally like to take a little taste from everything available at the religion buffet.

My school RI teacher when I was 11. She told me (what iv ealready printed a few times on this site, i just feel i should share it) that religion is like a mountain with God at the top. There are many paths up that mountain, each looking different, but theyre all just part of the same mountain. Hows that for influence on a developing mind?
