Yes Emotions play a big part in religion, Your Emotions identify who you are.
Is the person asking the original question about emotions, answering his own question? If so then what is the purpose of asking the question? You have your own pre-conceived answer already.
That's what haj3396 always does: make a thread with some statements with no opening for discussion and then leave.
As human beings we have an emotional component.
And i believe that religion can include that.
In fact emotion may be heightened, in the disposition
of great devotion, or even ecstatic states.
So certainly yes.
First thing than comes to my mind .. We can religiously believe anything that we choose,
So it seems that a religion is an emotion in which believers express their faith in those things that they believe ...
or something like that.
Yes, I believe emotions are at the heart of religion.
Which is not in any way to say that that's a bad thing!
At the heart of religion is "FAITH," which is belief, not proven fact.
Where is the seat of religion in the human body? It's not the brain. It's the heart and soul.
So yes.
Controlling emotion tells you where you are.

I totaly agree, that's not a bad thing!
Emotions get a bad rap in our society.
True the ability to keep our emotions in check is a sign of maturity. But we are still feel them. They are integral parts of who we are!!
Joy is a particularly cool emotion!
The fact that not a single self acclaimed christian or ANY alleged holy book believer can or has ever legitimately proven that their particular story book is the words of their god given to men, only proves their story book ideology is ' entirely irrational and emmotive ' whilst entirely and unambiguously lacking in legitimate evidence!
I don't think that the people would have ever bought into any religion if they had not already felt a connection to what we now call the supernatural.
We are connected with something that we can not explain.
Some people see this connection as a restraint and fight it all the way.
Others find confort in it.
Now, if some people didn't find opertunity to exploit the feelings of others, this connection would be easier to understand;
More than it currently is at any rate.
Religion itself is emotion. Unless there is emotion, there can be no religion. It is the pillar of religions.

I've heard so much in the forums about believing and not believing in Religion or God, being atheist or religious or agnostic and so forth, I've just got confused that is there anyone out there concerned about the role of Religion in our lives!

So many Atheists and Agnostics refute faith/religion with living by logic and reason. But, to be really honest, it is totally impossible.What do you say?

Free Will is a rather loose topic. There are many arguments for and against it. I'm of the persuasion that free will is a deception of what the Bible calls Satan (the evil one, the great deceiver, the father of lies). I have a simple thought I want to explore through receipt of your responses. A...
