>It's worth so much more than faith.

My life has value because i have a God who loves me and protects with his wisdom from self-destructive sins.

>You can find moral meaning without attaching it to something that can't be justified by science or your senses.

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there, there is no correct answer to this point, but there are things we don't know about that go beyond science, there are spiritual beings who walk among us, proof of this is those who open themselves up to them, like practitioners of Kundalini.

>Be happy, ignore organized religion. If you must have faith, it is out of gratitude, not a guideline for how to live your life.

What is right to man is not right to God, it's impossible to be sinless, but it is a dangerous slippery slope to not try.

Actually faith comes first, but it is not about faith in anything, it is about faith in God through Jesus Christ. This is so important that we live by faith alone. Faith is interdependent on knowing the Word. They are used almost interchangeably. The Word by either quoting it from book or just from knowing it by heart. The reason for this is because if you say “well I will just fast today because that would be God’s instruction for my body today,” this will be beset by the arrows of the devil. Jesus “lived by the Word alone” meaning he didn’t say he was going to start fasting, he just started quoting the scriptures and doing things and Satan could not defeat him because of it.

With that said, after faith, comes knowledge, and with knowledge, comes understanding.

Wrong. Science and emotions can never formulate a moral code. My proof: modern civilization.

Go be a retarded thirteen-year old reddittor somewhere else, please.

Even without bringing God into the equation, religion and tradition offer stability, a sense of community, a sense of meaning, and a connection to the past.

Even if I knew for sure that all the religions on Earth were false, I'd still be religious and I'd still be a Christian. That's because an irreligious life offers exactly nothing.

The 'happiness' it offers is hollow and meaningless. You can spend your youth mindlessly trying to sate your short-term cravings, and it will mean exactly nothing anymore when you grow older.

People need belonging and a meaningful connection with others. Religion provides both of those, as it provides both community and a common ground in the form of shared lore, morals and traditions.

Irreligion provides neither. It ultimately only causes people to become atomized individuals - people who are not connected to anything or anyone.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" John 15:13

Faith is more important than my life upon earth because it secures Eternal Life for the believer, and it compels to believer to live for, and even to die for, others, rather than to live for himself. I lived for myself once, and I would rather die than do it again.
