One of the reasons we need religion.

[Mystic]

One of the prime reasons we need religion is without guidance from God, people become lead astray by conjecture and evil people as to who the best and elite of the good people are.

قَالُوا رَبَّنَا مَنْ قَدَّمَ لَنَا هَٰذَا فَزِدْهُ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا فِي النَّارِ {61}
[Shakir 38:61] They shall say: Our Lord! whoever prepared it first for us, add Thou to him a double chastisement in the fire.
وَقَالُوا مَا لَنَا لَا نَرَىٰ رِجَالًا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُمْ مِنَ الْأَشْرَارِ {62}
[Shakir 38:62] And they shall say: What is the matter with us that we do not see men whom we used to count among the vicious?
أَتَّخَذْنَاهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا أَمْ زَاغَتْ عَنْهُمُ الْأَبْصَارُ {63}
[Shakir 38:63] Was it that we (only) took them in scorn, or have our eyes (now) turned aside from them?










To have ignored God's clarifications of who truly are the corrupters and oppressors and those who cause havoc in the earth and be confused in the battle between good and evil, due to ignoring God's proofs and guidance providing clarity will not be forgiven.

Non-acceptance of God's guidance is only accepted on the conditions that guidance was not possible or highly difficult due to situations a person was in.

May the general be in peace, I know he will be alive helping believers along with the rest of obedient spirits.

Some of the most corrupt and evil people in the world are those who claim guidance from their god, and they use their religion to control the masses, so they can continue to do corrupt and evil things. Religion isn't needed.

As far as Soleimani goes, it feels like this administration is the villain of a story that kills someone who benefited them because he "outlived his usefulness".

Religion being used to lead astray is exactly why you need religion from God, that his books and his chosen guides to guide us so that we may be with the truthful and not the scum liars that have been spreading chaos and oppression all over the earth.

Dude, people will be dicks no matter what imaginary friend they have. Too often they're excuses, not guides.

It took me a while, but you will understand one day: guidance from God is the guidance, there is no other guidance possible.

Why would you insult us by suggesting that we will dumb down our lives that way?

[Mystic]

It's a choice to let chaotic winds and misguidance through your enemies who don't care about you to the least, lead you astray in spite of having clear proofs and clarity from God as to the right path.

By one day, I mean eventually you will know be it then too late or not.

Maybe when god starts communicating more clearly, more than just in mysterious ways, or some chosen few, then he'll get better results. For a guy that supposedly wants everyone to get into heaven and be with him, he's doing a bad job of leading his flock. I know people want to blame the flock for everything, but eventually you have to start wondering if it's the shepherd's fault, and not the sheep.

This is a good point, but not a point that his holy books didn't go into detail in answering.  Again, God is the best in providing guidance and clarity.  You will never know how clear or lack of it, if you don't try to listen at all.

Admittedly I was never a muslim, so I can't say I gave to twenty years, like with christianity. Still, not planning on it. If he wants to reach me, he can. If he's all knowing, he knows exactly what needs to be done for me to listen.
