Why do we need to keep talking about religion?

[Ruminator]

Riddel, what are the thoughts behind your asking?

A factor I don't think anyone has brought up is that we in the west who historically for the most part believe a person only lives once on this earth and thats it for here... when they die, they will nevermore get any opportunities in this world.

There is then an accompanying sense of urgency for us as people then to find the truth in this life.

If you had this world view and a true concern and caring for your neighbors and friends, and those around you, would you want to help them if possible to find their spiritual way if you had indeed found something special?

Love and caring hearts motivate at least some to want to talk about religion. It has been my life's experience that at least most christians I've known have had this for their motivation.

As well, many of us may want to talk about religion because we are still searching for more truth.
As much as I may think I know, I also know that others know things that I don't.

And if I have an open mind and heart I might grow further in my own understanding of truth and knowledge.
So if we place a high value on such, we want to discuss religion as well as whatever else.
