God NO, Jesus - Yes but was only a man, Bible is only stories.
Do you think people follow a religion only because they need to believe in something after this life?
possibly, i agree with bj. can't understand how people can believe in something thats not there. those muslims actually let it rule their lives. religion is the main cause of all the trouble in the world. it would be better to worship the sun and moon. at least they're there.
should religion be banned
No point banning religion. 99% of humans throughout all history have believed in something spiritual. Whether it be the gods of weather, sun and moon, fairies or omnipotent spiritual beings. And because we all have egos and want to believe that there must be a reason for us being so much "more" than mere animals, we always will, rightly or wrongly!! Faith in itself is not such a bad thing, imo. It provides a crutch when times are hard, which for alot of people, is most of the time. The problem is more about structured religion, which is basically just about power. But that's human nature for you. If you want to ban religion you would have to ban the sun and moon and the weather, etc... good luck with that!!
