Religion is hard to describe because it's diffrent to each person for myself I see my faith as a guide to live my life in rightousness as a good person if you will and eventually make my way to the after life promised by Christ the savior. Now from a spiritual point of view the whole point of religion is rather simple for mankind to become closer with their creator. It's as simple as that.

People need to believe that there is something bigger out there...bigger than themselves. Religion helps people to organize what they believe in and I know for me, even though I don't beleive in all aspects of my religion/denomination, it helps to keep me focused in life...just a thought, take it for what it's worth...

"Welcome be a religion that pours into the bitter chalice of the suffering human species some sweet, soporific drops of spiritual opium, some drops of love, hope and faith." -Heinrich Heine
I like these calm little moments before the storm.
