Attention larp to piss certain people of. I'm still looking into catholicism and learning about it, not really hoping to be baptized at the moment I simply want to learn.
 
no but people place too much importance on it

What exactly? In the relationship?

A distraction to life, what it truly is and can be, a distraction to despair and sadness, some people put all their hope in God in sickness or poverty. A lot of poor countries are religous too, the people pray to end corruption as opposed to protesting and getting up.
 
It's cope and indoctrination. Humans always have to think deeply, instead of just accepting that we have no purpose and there is no "god," and we should instead make our own purpose and live life to the fullest, making every day count.

I don't believe in a single religion but in 'religious pluralism'. I believe in God from insights unrelated to religion, but from a metaphysical angle. You can AMA.

It's a series of philosophical arguments made by perhaps one of the greatest philosophers ever

Thomas Aquinas' five ways

When I say “insights unrelated to religion”, I mean I’m not grounding my belief in God on a particular scripture. Instead, I’m looking at it from the standpoint of philosophy, and observation about existence itself.
The “metaphysical angle” is about asking: what must reality be like for anything at all to exist? For example, Thomas Aquinas argued that when we trace things back we eventually arrive at the idea of a being that isn’t limited the way everything else is. This being wouldn’t just have some qualities, but would be the fullness or perfection of them: perfect goodness, truth, power, existence itself. This is a very genuine solution to the problem of infinite regress faced upon trying to arrive at an answer for the origin of universe.
So my belief in God comes not from a religious narrative but from this philosophical reasoning: that the ultimate explanation for reality must be something infinite and necessary.

You're halfway there in my opinion. Consider looking into Aquinas' work.

Necessary for society

That's a very civil and responsible take. It's almost as if religions helps us in moderating society at large.
 
I think that religion can be a positive part in your life if you actually follow it
