A school like Episcopal is rare these days and children need to pray. I say this not because He's real or not, but because when a child can't lean on friends, or family they can believe whether or not its true that someone cares they exist.I would hate to offend but if I do, comment in a reasoned fashion.
First off, I say religion is what allows for some to have moral stability. This is because many people only follow rules because they fear hell.Its sad but people don't always do things for good.If God isn't real then whey not cheat?
Second, many people can lose their hold on life if not for religion. Everyone wants to believe in something, and without it most go down into the emotional abyss.A great example is cancer victims, victims of drug abuse, and simply people who were dealt a bad hand in life.All these people can try to kill themselves already, and I think it would be worse if they didn't believe in a deity of some kind.
A third, in all honesty humanity will always believe in something. Whether it be a person, or thing, or even themselves.We all must believe we're special in some way. Its a pinciple that just doesn't die. There's always a soul, or at least consciousness somewhere inside of us.

I am sorry you weren't able to finish this post. Try to begin strong without qualifiers like your first sentence - they just encourage your readers not to take you as seriously.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you finished this! You give two good reasons, but I'm not sure how your third reason connects. Does a believe in something beyond the self lead to a need to pray? Might people believe in something that doesn't require praying? Watch for conventions, especially spelling and spaces after periods.
