Is religion a consequence of fear of death? Shaykh Nuh Ha Mim Keller Part 1/2

[kadene2]

Many of those who go willingly to their deaths, especially those suicide bombers who don't look very scared, are looking forward to eternal life.

There is no wise creator; we are learning more and more that there is absolutely no control of this planet. A huge meteor could hit us next week and many would be killed -- and there's no wise creator around to stop it.

[MatrixOfDynamism]

@kadene2 Only those things that the creator allows to take place shall happen. It is that simple. The creator's wisdom cannot be understood by shallow minds like most of us. Well why did he have a create us and the earth in the first place that people go on creating havoc, destroying themself and the planet as well? Islam provides answers to these things.

[kadene2]

@MatrixOfDynamism Islam has no answers either. Religion is man-made bullshit, used to control people. Submission is the goal. You can keep it; I want no part of it.

highest level of hierarchy of needs by Maslow IS NOT RELIGION. It is Self actualisation. Check your facts. this mumbler is distorting theories...

[naddogg89]

Brother, Maslows hierarchy of Self- Actualization encompasses religion, Morality, it's not a talk about Maslow, it was a side comment, Word choice essentially, there is no distortion here
