The Role of God and Religion

...

some barriers that they faces in their lives. In the story “A Very Old Man With Enormous

Wings” people got surprised about the old man how he looks and what they thought about him,

but the “Father Gonzaga” didn’t want to take any action or to tell people who is this person till

he ask the church and make a religion decision. This is an example how people use their religion

to solve problems or to decide in a certain situations. Depending on religion to solve problems it

always gives the best decision to people, so the role of god and religion it’s not only about the

judgment or to tell people what they did wrong, it also help people to take the right decision to

solve problems. According to “Gallup Poll” fifty-seven percent of 1,028 adult polled said they

believe religion is the answer to their problems, so her we can see that people are using their

religion to have a better decision.

The role of god and religion is to protect people from anything bad or any barriers that

people having in their lives. Role of god is a chance to everyone to ask god for it especially

people who is suffering to setup their lives in a good conditions. Role of god is to create for

people what they need and what they are missing to leave in happiness and peaceful life, that’s

what the role of god can provide for people .in order for people to ask god for happiness and

peace, they need to watch their behavior and ethics. This way god will respond to them and give

them what they want, also people need to be closer to god. The only way people can be

close to god is prayer, people need to practice their religion and pray for god not just praying to

reach certain goal. “If you never pray about your goals, never pray about your job, never pray

about your finances, you are not depending on God in any of those areas. The more you

depend on God, the more you'll pray” (Warren) this example tells us praying is not only a

way to reach some goals, but praying is the way to get closer to god then god will make you

reach your goals depends on how honest you are .

The role of god is the eye that watching us day by day and judging our action and

reaction also our behavior. It is always the invisible hand that moving our lives and creating our

daily scenario that we should fellow without any mistake. If we all did what god want as to do

and if we all fellow our religion we won’t have any issue or barriers that can make our lives

complicated.
