Religion is like law in your country the less law you have the more prophet and more power you will gain. religion is not very different than you think but less religion you have less morality you have and less point to live for. Don't tell me Muslims are terrorists and chirstans are part of illuminati you go and follow the real god inside you. he waches you and judges you for your sins. he is really patient and sturdy.

“Diabetic wonderland.” It’s a popular misconception that eating too much sugar causes diabetes. Type one diabetes is autoimmune, Type 2 can arise for a few different reasons. It’s not the sole consumption of sugar that causes either T1 or T2 diabetes. I’m sure it was said lightheartedly but so many people say things like this when they talk about eating sugar in excess. It can become rather irritating when you’re a diabetic and you hear it so often or have someone tell you that you’re diabetic because you ate too much sugar. It’s just not how it works.

I hate it when people reduce our feelings to mere chemical releases. We're more than that. We just see higher chemical releases when we feel certain emotions. Correlation doesn't imply causation. It also stunts scientific growth and knowledge as it leads to false conclusions.
Religion for me is a private and personal part of one’s life and should always remain so. The Sunday church goers go for the community and social aspect tight nit church life, this is not faith.
It's really just 3 emotions. Fear, anger, sadness. Happiness is blending 2 of the three together with (of/at) to make Love. Love is all of these at once - fear of anger, fear of sadness, anger at sadness, anger at fear, sadness of fear, and sadness of anger. Religion is an outlet for fear and anger and sadness.
Hmm, how about; opposite of fear, anger and sadness is probably something like courage, laughter, and joy. - Same emotion, different polarity (or different expectation, eg. you could be _anxious_ if you expect the worst, but you can be _excited_ if you expect the best).

Religion shapes you into a human. staying as a human now a days is hard as you can see because what people really think about God. You can be a trash gender if you want you can be pee gender or a fucking cat and act like you were born from one. this is what humanity follows? why?
Organized religion is a sore spot for many. Perhaps having faith and being spiritual should also be noted. One can feel they are a part of something before and after this, that is connected to everything and everyone, and not be religious.
Religion it what shapes the human being to it's form. what really religion does is tell you how to be a human it tells you to respect yourself it shows how to not act like a trash can because you can see people now are gender everything. you can be gender trashcan if you want and you can and gender coca-cola if you may... is that humanity? is that what really we need to be? what's worng with people now a days? You wanna have sex go do it. you wanna do anal go fuckin do it. just when something is worng don't make it a fact on other people.
Religion is the most primitive type of control. “Do A,B and C or forever be miserable. Its the lie that’s been told the longest so has now become a type of truth.
Right out of the gate, you're starting with the wrong question. I think that it's this obsession with "happiness" that truly makes us miserable. If we strive to cultivate a strong sense of _meaning,_ and _purpose_ that can sustain us through the inevitable tragedies of life, then we're making proper use of our innate religious capacity. "Happiness" is what you feel when you get good news or walk outside and notice that it's a beautiful day, or play with a child, or a puppy; it's a fleeting emotional response to something good happening (happen/happy: similar etymological roots?). When our culture tells us that we should expect to be happy as a constant state of being, _that's_ what makes us miserable when the elation of happiness passes and we return to simple baseline emotional normalcy.
You might want to actually watch the video first because he discusses different definitions of happiness aside from a narrow etymological one. Some definitions even overlap with meaning and purpose. I’d send you a link but your already here, lead a horse to water and all that.
*with conditions. That are arbitrarily created by 'Him'self. Even though the heaven offered is an unlimited resource. Swell god. Almost as if...the concept is wholly human, with tantalizingly human hopes, through a lens of human limitations.
