does religion have anything to do with common sense?

No, religion is a shield from the reality and the exact opposite of common sense

Thank you for your question. Religion in the west is sometimes taken to mean a kind of faith. Faith can be right or wrong. The word Dharma in the Sanskrit language is sometimes translated into english as religion, but dharma is not something that can be changed. For example, the dharma of fire is that it produces heat and light. If there is no heat and light there is no meaning to the word fire. Heat and light are the dharma(or natural characteristic) of fire. Similarly, the natural characteristic of human beings is service. Everyone must serve. Whether one is serving country, society, family, or pet everyone is serving. Even if one is sitting in one place serving time eventually they must serve their hunger(senses). Everyone must serve.

When this service propensity is misdirected we become frustrated. Everyone is trying to find happiness. Even if it just means the answer to their questions. When we place our service in the pursuit of happiness based on the pains and pleasures of this material body we are ultimately frustrated. Death, old age, and disease are part of material nature. Everything in material nature is going through six phases of existence; birth or manifestation, growth, stay for sometime, produce some by product, dwindle, and death or annihilation.

An intelligent person will ask why must death come even though I do not want it. There are many theories and beliefs concerning this subject matter. But a serious student will continue to search out the answer no matter where it may lead them.

Modern materialistic society is advancing in the pursuit of sense pleasure for the material body. The quality of this materialistic enjoyment is limited to the duration of this body. There is another nature which is eternal. Modern education has no information on this eternal subject matter except for theoretical understanding of time. There is a science to this eternal nature which can be adopted by the serious practitioner. One must be fortunate to find a qualified source of information and then apply themselves to that study.

Even mundane mathamatics requires years of study to accumulate the necessary understanding of calculus and trigonometry. What then to speak of the study of eternal nature. There is no child who begins the study of math with the understanding of its validity.

A child may think an airplane is flying all by itself, but as the child becomes educated they understand there is a pilot or controller.

The theory that God does not exist is illogical for the following reasons; for someone to conclude beyond reasonable doubt that God does not exist first this person would have to know every being that exists on this earth and the entire creation. Otherwise, someone that he doesn't know could be God. And if he knew every being in the creation then He would be God because He would be omniscient.

Religion without philosophy is sentimental or sometimes fanaticism; Philosophy without religion is mental speculation.

Religion without philosophy could lack common sense.

Thanks again for your question

Beliefs and common sense can cross at certain points, but are two different concepts that do not wholly affect one another - religious people may have common sense, they may not. Same for any other kind of faith or lack thereof.

No, religion is without common sense but Jesus does

Yes. It is what happens in the complete absence of common sense.

religions no but God yes

jesus

back

and to prove I'm the real deal I explain (in all languages as promised) how I performed 2 miracles feeding the 5000 and the miraculous catch in my key video "the announcement". More will be revealed in due course over the next few months as the world wakes up slowly to the reality I am back. spread the video (facebook, twitter, email etc) if you want to speed up the coming of a world free of oppression, violence, paedophilia etc it's going to happen but you can help speed it up.

Yes, actually. The only people who don't believe in religion are people who haven't experienced it. You don't go around saying that England doesn't exist just because you haven't been there! Once you feel God, there's absolutely no denying it. People need to learn to accept that they might not know everything about life.

Some religions might.

No.

Atheism is the result of a successful reality check.

No, they're completely contrary to one another in every way possible.
