It is our collective and individual responsibility to protect and nurture the global family, to support its weaker members and to preserve and tend to the environment in which we all live. \n\nBe a good human being, a warm-hearted, affectionate person. That is my fundamental belief. \n\nBecause we all share this small planet Earth, we have to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature. That is not just a dream, but a necessity. \n\nMy religion is very simple. My religion is kindness. \nThrough training there is knowledge. You can produce compassion, love, forgiveness. you can change yourself. \n\nI always believed in love, compassion, and a sense of universal respect. Every human being has that potential.

It means that you should strive to live as godly as you can, which for a human is impossible to do completely. To live completely perfectly is only possible through Christ, not by anything you can do on your own.

Basic Humanist principles, which pre-date religion. Half the Ten Commandments are basic common sense - not killing each other, not stealing - they are the rules that a society will self-determine.\nPersonally I believe that there is just *morality* and that pre-fix is redundant. For the most part, people are moral, with or without God.

Why would a person need a text or tradition to know right from wrong? The golden rule is extant for all of us. Don't do to other what you wouldn't want done to you. Be fair, honest and care for your fellow man. All these things are pretty much universal but sadly overlooked, even by religionists.

Why not, no other gospel or church out there holds the keys to seal and bind families forever. There are so many people out there who think that there is more than this life but no other religion can give you sound doctrine as to what is in store for us when we die. We live clean morale lives following the teachings of Jesus, an applying the Atonement in our lives. The one consensus that I have seen on here is that everyone thinks we're alittle off but they all agree that we are good people who are very family orientated. If you found a religion that made you a better person and gave you hope beyond compare, that explained many of the confusing things that other religions out there teach who wouldn't be led closer to want to find out more about it. This Church answers all the questions that none of the other religions out there can't. I have a peace that comes only from the witness of the Holy Ghost that it is true. I have prayed many times to find deeper meaning and truths and everytime I'm amazed at the feeling within myself of it's truth and completeness, but in order to really understand that you have to want to really find out for yourself.

I can never again be a Christian. I could pray the prayers and go to church, but in my soul I would always be a Buddhist. Nothing can change that, I have dedicated myself to the Dhamma...\n\n“There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness”\n- The Dalai Lama -\n\n- Atmadeepo Bhava -

I don't know about religion but as far as relationship goes, It is very important to have a close relationship with Jesus Christ. And I mean you repent and as for forgiveness from God, and follow Christ. Christ is The Life and without Him there is no LIfe.

Philippians 4:6\nBe anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.\n\nColosians 2:20\nTherefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men? These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.\n\nPhilippians 4:8\nFinally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

Wow, what a great question.  Let's first see if we can 'agree' on what morality means.  The traditional definition is that morality means a system or set of beliefs that define what is good or bad.\n\nTo that end, religion and religious traditions, whether Eastern or Wester, certainly due provide a system of beliefs in what is right or wrong - or morality.\n\nThe real question, is this . . . which religious tradition (i.e., Judeo-Christian, Hindu, Islamic, etc.,) provides the "best" system for morality? To answer that question ones must become familiar with the sacred writing and teachings of a given relgious tradition.\n\nMust morality depnd on religion exclusively?  Not necessarily, but it is hard to think of one signficant moral tradition or belief (e.g., don't steal, don't kill) that is not rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition.\n\nI believe the statement that morality is relative is simply ridiculous.  Moral traditions created by man are relative; but the Judeo-Christian view is that God gave the Law and thus Judeo-Christian morality is based on the character and nature of God, which is anything but relative.  God is absolute, and the final authroity on what is true, good or not.

Well...  What religion does is make morality an objective idea instead of a subjective one; people obey the tenets that a certain religion sets forth.  Morality without religion is subjective; it is every individual's own perception of right and wrong -- which often differs.  Very similar is the difference between Christianity and humanism; one sets God as the absolute of all reality, and the other sets humankind as the absolute of all reality.  \nSo, do people need "god" to be morally "responsible" to their own concept of morality?  No.  Whether their idea of morality is correct, on the other hand -- take Hitler's morality for instance; he may very well have been responsible to his idea of morality -- is a totally different question.
