The after life is part of it—not 100%.
Probably an overused example but here goes:
Abrahamic faith has nothing to say about attraction to a member of the same sex, two males or two females. It does condemn the two men for acting out this attraction in a sex act.
Roughly 70% of new HIV+ cases in the U S are men in bisexual or same sex relations. Can anyone say how faith & science aren’t coexisting in this example.
Here is a site which has more info about HIV/AIDS among other topics www.fenwayhealth.org
Agree. Kind of like dessert is part of a meal, or like the finish line is part of the race.
Yes and no…maybe??
Why, though if religion is about guiding life on earth
That might make sense for 6 year olds at Sunday school, but can we stick to the subject? Everyone knows what the word “part” means. The question was, if religion is a guide for life on earth, why all the focus on life after death. Which, if the argument is now “well religion is also concerned with life after death” then we are back to square one - is religion a means of coping with death?
There are many “life guidebooks”. Nit all assert a belief in God, magic, and knowledge of life after death. Those that do are generally classified as religion.
One might have trouble believing in RELIGION and science, but God and science go pretty hand in hand.
Religion is God placed into a box.
Science is God’s work revealed.
