Default Re: Is it better to be happy or right?

Once again I'll quote Harry Connick Jr. "And the preacher said .... The church is the shelter, not the faith son."
I enjoy thinking about and debating the specifics, but you have to think about what religion is there for. It is to make the world better, and enrich your life. I think all religions have some truth to them. So even if you have some problems with the specifics of a religion it can still help you have a better life. I'm a Mormon and have some pretty big disagreements with our religion. But it still helps my community and I be better. I think most religions can do the same. I think there is a story in the Bible along the same lines. Some sort of religious order gets in big debates about things like how tall an angle is and they lose the important message of the faith. Thinking about things like life after death and God can be mentally stimulating and worth while as long as you don't lose sight of the important messages that many religions have to offer.
