Question: What is the best Religion for troubled people!?

Is this a joke!?

Give me a break, you know everyone and their mother is not going to give an objective answer, they are going to peddle their own religion because it is "obviously" the best for them, so it clearly must be the best for everyone!. Similar to the phenomenon that every married man in America believes that he has the most beautiful wife and the most intelligent children!.

The plain truth, is that there are people who are crabby and people who are blissfully happy in every type of belief!.

I am an atheist, I do not believe that there is any validity to any religion, and to me, you asking what the best religion for troubled people is like asking what is the best kind of hard liquor for them to help drink their problems away!.

But I am not going going to sit here and say that Atheists lead happier, more well adjusted lives!. That's blatant posteuring and dishonesty!. I've known some atheists who are downright miserable!. It's a personal choice to be happy, if there was a 100% guaranteed formula for happiness, we'd all be living it right now!. If there was one religion that was 100% absolutely sure to exist, it would have sprouted up at the same time in cultures completely isolated from each other, and every one would follow the exact denomination with no deviances or conflicts!. But there isn't!.

If a person is troubled, then they need to attack the source of whats troubling them, not let some belief system intoxicate them into happiness!. That requires professional help, which no two-bit preacher with a communications degree or Richard Dawkins is going to provide!. Attack the root of the problem, instead of simply trying to cover it up!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd say buddhism BECAUSE christianity is sometimes over ruling, and can make your life even worse!. most christians i've been around are christians because they dont belive in themselves enough and need to feel like someone or something is going to save them from themselves and life in general!. i'm not a buddhist, but my parents are, and they were going through some bumpy stuff and turned onto that and now they are fine!.
although, i guess, if you look at it, religion isnt a thing to turn to if ur depressed or troubled, because you may be let down or inclined to push too heavily on that religion!. you dont want to be even more troubled with the burden of having to weigh your thoughts based on a dumb relgion!.
hope this helps, good luck :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Religion isn't something that should be taken lightly!. If you do not believe then you are just "going through the motions" and it doesn't really count, you might feel a bit better for a while but it won't do you much good spiritually!.

How about a secular alternative!. Become a hippy or see a shrink!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Christian Science (not to be confused with Scientology!)!. They accept and love everyone!. They encourage seeing everything as good and pure, and don't preach on and on about how sinful everyone and everything is!. It is a very loving religion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is no better religion than just the Bible, plain and simple!!! Check out christian churches, such as the Lutheran church!. They teach that Jesus Christ died for your sins and you don't have to do anything to receive that forgiveness except beleive in Him!.

"Jesus said, peace I leave with you; my peace I give you!. I do not give to you as the world gives!. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid!." John 14:27Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not only troubled people , but people in general should ought to spirtuality, to believe in the power of life and death and to believe in their selves because nothing is better than self belief and of course, TIME!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
