Can anyone think of some good reasons to be religious
I cannot really think of any except maybe social networking.
I imagine the greatest responses to be Pascal's Wager in nature, if so, please research this wager a bit, before posting something like "So you don't go to hell". Be sure to gloss over the scathing critique of Pascal's Wager as well, and be prepared to defend against this...it should save some time.
Also, if you are going to answer anything involving self empowerment "God lifts you up" or "Believing in a higher power gives you strength" be prepared to answer how these things are different and or superior to secular self-help exercises and empowerment techniques.
One more thing, before suggesting atheism or science are religions, be sure to look up the definitions of these words, so I won't have to post them to easily prove you wrong.
Looking for some good resons to be religious, would like to foster some discussion here, so I will keep my assholery in check as much as possible.
