Think

[At Ur Own Risk]

Richard Burton says:
The more I study relegion the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.


HOW FAR DO YOU THINK ITS TRUE?

[Qurratulain]

Well, that's Richard Burton's opinion that may have some rationales behind it. I can't come up with any satisfactory conclusion until those rationales get unfolded. So kindly expand the course of discussion with some background.

I think Richerd meant that every man is in need of a friend, a companion or any person who is a fallback for him in the times of difficulties....& religion provides him this oppertunity. Religion facilitates his way to his Creator & man finds an image on whom he can rely fully. So, God is there just to satisfy man's own need.

2ndly may be the statment is meant to say that Man worships God to get his own benifits or may be for this that by worshiping God a man finds the reason of his existence.

So, in all cases man's concern is his own self & he worships himself.

But I am not sure about these interpertations let see what our new member tells us.

this could be the reason..

yea this is right that every buddy has his own thinking/perception.. RB stated this with his own calculated studies, if any background or certain statments or any example that could support his statement, be found, than discussion could be proceed intrestingly.

well there may b some particular rationales but most of the western thinkers are non believers thay take religion as an obstacle so they have secular mind n try to have a life without religion...
