I think that there are beneficial and detrimental aspects to an organized religion. Beneficial because people can see what they are believing in clearly and accurately. There won't be different versions of the same thing. Detrimental because it limits people to think only a certain way and avoids them to think further and find what they really believe in.
I think that it is bebeficial because people now see that religion is a certain way instead of there being several versions of the same text.
I disagree with Fernanda in that i think that the fact that people cannot think any further is beneficial because it actually helps people to find the religion that they should follow
i think that an organize religion can be beneficial to that ones that belive fully in it, but most of all i think it is detrimental because the people that dont belive in that religion or that belive in it but dont follow it completely. if they dont want to belive in it it doesnt have to be something that some push you to because religion is supose to be something that you belive and only you, everyone belive it in a diferent way and has different perspective of it. so i think that an organized religon is determental because a religon cant be inposed on others.
In my opinion i think that an organized religion is detrimental. Millions years ago people have had different religious views that have been persecuted and that is taking their right in hwat they believ in. In a very strict organized religion it also controls the government.
I agree with Manuel that religious authority have used their power in order to stop the development of science.
Thanks Carlos for commenting on my post, but i have to disagree with you when you say people SHOULD follow a certain religion. I believe in religion freedom and that no one, by any means, should be restrained or limited of it.
I agree with Cynthia when she says that religion belief is something that you push or imply, it should be chosen freely.
I agree with Fernanda on the beneficial and the detrimental part. But there is something more to add to the detrimental which is that some organized religion are so maniatic with their religion that they might even kill for it, an example is the crusades in which Muslims fought against Christians.
I believe that an organized religion has been both.Benefitial to the society because there are certain people that have strong beliefs and faith and solve their problems by believing in something.And detrimental by the way some take it too far,like pedro said,sometimes someone get hurt and im sure that in the religion the God or Leader would not like that.
Organized religion has been detrimental to society. It has brought many serious conflicts between different and opposing religions. This has been the cause of many wars, serious conflicts throughout history.
yes fernanda that right religion is not something someone has to force it on you.
i agree with fernanda when she says that it has been both ways beneficial and detrimental. but fernanda which one do you think is more important in the point of you you put ot, only brliving in one thing a certain way or for you to see who they are by beliving something imposed to you?
I also think that organized religion can be both beneficial and detrimental. In a society where more than 90% of the people share a common religion, it is beneficial because it serves as a bond to keep the people united. But in a society that has many different religious groups and that there is no predominant one, it is detrimental. The state can't adopt more than one official religion and the people would always disagree on things such as holidays. Imagine how a Muslim would feeel in America where he can only marry one person.
Carlos, what do you think about religion's effecto on society?
thanks for responding to my comment fernanda and i have to agree with you on what you said because I didn't put my message clearly at all, what i meant was that I think that if people are brought up with a certain set of values based on religion, they can live by them their entire life but once they reach the age in which they can decide for themselves they will go out and search for a religion that will be better for them while still having the values of the religion they grew up with, which frankly, is better than none.
I believe that having an organized religion is both positive and negative. It's good, because that way it avoids conflicts. When people have different versions of the same thing, it causes conflicts, and people become uncertain about whats true and whats not. I agree with Fernanda when she says that in an organized religion people become more clear and accurate about what they believe in.I believe its negative because it limits people to believe in only one possible way. There's not only ONE possible answer to our questions, and in an organized religion we have to stick to believing there is only one. Still, I believe, as Armando said, its a way of keeping people united and in peace.
Yeah its true what you say Carlos, I may have have written a lot on my many opinions about the topic. I want to clarify that I mainly think its benefitial, because even though it may force people to believe a certain way, people wont have that big of a problem with it, because how will people want or miss something they don´t even know exists? Will they want to practice another religion if they don´t know that its possible?
I think that organized religions are detrimental because they don't make people push the limits and search within themselves to find what they really believe in. People usually stick to one religion without really questioning if it really relates to him or herself. Another reason why I think that organized religions are detrimental because people usually impart their beliefs to their children and they are practically forced to live within a religion without even knowing themselves, without thinnking about what they really believe in.
Manuel, why do you think that people don't need and don't have a relgion. I mean, a religion is having certain beliefs about existence and about everything else; and even people taht don't believe in anything have beliefs. They believe that there is no greater power acting upon us, no God or Buddha or any other religious entity.
Before religion was such a big influence on people it was practically their whole life, they evolved around around it. Thing got preety out of hand, many fights occured and many people dieing. So yes i think that organized religion has been benificial, Its callmed things down and let people choose what they wanted to belive on their own, People got to see things clearer and really see what each differnt religion was about. It resolved things AND have made life less tense.
I agree with vicente when he says that religion had brought many conflicts though history so that why i say that its good that every thing is nore organized now!
Manuel, I believe that, in general, religion has been more detrimental because it has been the cause of many prosecutions and, as you said, it has delayed the development of science.
I think that organized religions are detrimental to society. I say this because when there is a powerful religion, and you are raised in a place were almost everyone belongs to it you are basically drag into it and have almost no chance to disagree and find what you would really believe in. When people belong to a big religion they tend to discriminate anyone who have over beliefs. When religions are followed by small group of people, bigger religions resort to discrimination and fights, which thought out history has cause big conflict including wars. I think that people should have the right to choose what to believe in and have no one trying to impose something else and just accept that everyone's believe is different without interfering.
I definitely agree with Ana Teresa when she says that people are basically forced to believe in something, and that children are not given the choice. I also agree with Manuel when he says that religion delays the development of science. I disagree with Armando when he says that in certain societies it's beneficial, he says that in a society were 90% the people follows one religion it keep them together, but what happens to the other 10%? They will be discriminated and probably hated by the other people, they will live under a tremendous amount of pressure. People will try to make them change as if what they believe in is wrong or bad, truth is, religion shouldn't be organize, people should simply believe in what they want and stop forcing others to be like them.
Mister Ruiz, I believe that it may only be beneficial if you are imposed to the biggest religion followed, but it still, it doesn't solve the problems the minority has. The complete society will never benefit from organized religion.
Mr. Ruiz, of course there are exceptions to everything but I think that imposed religions don't let people discover themselves and they usually make some people miserable. When people create their onw beliefs they see who they really are and what they really are made of, and though some of the times people take taht to extremes, most of the times it works.
I do believe that religion is beneficial because it helps people have something to value and respect. Also it helps from societies and shows people to be good, not only do no crimes but follow a correct path in life. I disagree with Manuel because even thoe people have different beliefs in religion without religion people would have no greater thin to look on.
I believe organized religions are more beneficial to society. Because thiers less conflict in the rules and the bielives because they are all written and cant be changed. o also agree with cynthia because no one can impulse you to belive in something you have to impulse yourself.

I agree with manuel when he said that the religion is detrimental by the way the development of science has stopped, by many religious conflicts.

I agree with sabrina but I'm also confused with the many different viewpoints she takes in her answer

Fernanda: Won't be different versions?!?!? How do you explain the hundreds of different versions of Christianity?
Carlos: How have people seen religion is a certain way?
Cynthia & Ana T.: So, religion that hasn't been imposed on you is never detrimental?
Manuel & Priscilla: What about the cultural and artistic significance of religion?
Daniela: You really think religion has caused things to be less tense?
Pedro: Those are called extremists, and they exist in every religion. BTW, in the Crusades the Christians killed the Muslims and all non-christians.
Gabriela: How do you know you are believing in the adequate things?
Vicente: But hasn't the good out-weighed the bad?
Bryan: Even if it is imposed on you, can't it be beneficial at times?
Mister Ruiz, I believe that it may only be beneficial if you are imposed to the biggest religion followed, but it still, it doesn't solve the problems the minority has. The complete society will never benefit from organized religion.
