Marxist View On Religion Essay

Is the man of the 20th century unreasonable to believe in the existence of God? Atheism is constantly attacking religion, and very sharply. For example, Freud said that religion is the desire for a noble origin; it was created due to fears of natural phenomena, the fear of parents, and alike. But the religious psychologists have made psychoanalysis of Freud, and concluded that Freud had a bad attitude toward his father. Instead of intent to kill his earthly father, he decided to "avenge" the heavenly Father.

Freud, Feuerbach, Marx and Nietzsche criticized the wrong motive for the religiosity of some people. Some people actually believe in God because of guilt, fear of punishment, because of the inability to solve their problems, because of

the lack of understanding of natural disasters and phenomena, because they were being manipulated by some people, and they invented gods with human characteristics. However, some people believe in the existence of God for the wrong motives, but this doesn’t mean that God does not exist and does not mean that all people have the wrong motive of faith in God. God can exist even though there are people who understand it incorrectly. If anyone can prove that a man could commit a bank robbery, and prove that he had a motive to rob a bank, it does not mean that he really robbed a bank. All these criticisms do not touch God's existence, but a human perversion of religion.
Karl Marx said that religion is the "opium of the people, which prevents us from enjoying the life here and now." According to him, "it is a big game of hypocritical clergy to manipulate us run for their goals; it is the failure to get out of the children's dependence on other people." Today we see that Marx's ideas in practice do not work: all societies based on communist ideas have failed and are in search for other ideas.

Nevertheless, Marx's atheism survived today. We all know that such abuse of religion that Marx criticized really exist. But if there is a genuine religion in practice implemented the doctrine that God has revealed, then Marx's critique does not stand.

Marx predicted that religion would disappear as a phenomenon of false (because there is no God, according to Marx), and churches will become museums. All see how the number of churches in the world increases, a church becoming the heavy believers. However, the council rejected Marx, and yet kept his not believing in God.

Atheists say that not only there is no God, but religion has bad consequences in practice. The Inquisition was torturing people, burned them at the stake, were led and are still "holy" crusades or jihad. Fundamentalism refers more victims, and there are religions that are granted immorality, drug abuse, collective suicide ... The combination of church and state has always been in the history of bringing

evil.
Chesterton said: "There is only one really persuasive argument against Christianity (religion), and to the believers." However, there is a really compelling argument for religion, and that believers are sincere, dedicated people that can see the reflection of God's character. The life of Jesus, his apostles, God and other religious people, made a great confirmation of the existence of God who changes people to the ideal character for which one seeks and craves.
Atheists say: "If God existed, would not have been a multitude of religious communities, but only one religion. All people would believe the same thing." Believer answers: "That there are many religious communities proves that God gave humans free will. People can choose whether to believe the truth that God has revealed, or if you believe the lies that are constantly inventing some. There is one true religion which God described in the Scriptures, and a multitude of false religion. "
