Why humanity needs religion
Nietzsche made the remark that people
would have the void as purpose rather than have no purpose, and he
also talked about people becoming nihilistic if they had no religion.
Nietzsche considered this a sign of weakness in people.
Philosophy and science did not
successfully fill the void of lost religion. The big picture was
missing, and emotional holism, moral direction, and harmony was missing.
Modern humanity tried to fill the void with consumerism, food, sex,
drink, movies, but these did not make them feel satisfied with their
lives. Nihilism followed.
The reason people would rather have the
void as purpose rather than have no purpose is not because they are
weak or slaves, as Nietzsche suggested, it is because sacred purpose
is built into the deepest zenith of our instincts, as the
Spirit-Will-To-Godhood that drives material life to evolve to Godhood, which is then
shaped by natural evolution. This is the base of revitalized
religious philosophy for humanity.
