Why Religion?

Why Religion?

Religions are human — so what?

Religion is all about the mystery of our life.

Yes, religions are shaped by human imaginations, but they point at something real.

Religions respond to human psychological needs – this does not invalidate their basic claim.

All human concepts of God are limited and flawed.

In our scientific age we need religion as never before

Science does not supply answers to the ultimate questions of life.

The kind of science that rejects God amounts to a dogmatic creed that that contradicts true scientific principles.

Scientists too derive their values from outside the realm of science.

We must return to our roots by recapturing what is mysterious and sacred.
