The meaning of human life and the creating role of religion
Abstract:   (1183 Views)

Why has man been created? Can human life be considered meaningful? What can be agreed with as the role of religion in making life meaningful? To answer the question one should study the concept of a meaningful life, life-giving agent and its characteristics. One can consider creativity as the agent giving meaning to life. By the creativity is meant such elements like knowledge, freedom and design. When human life has been accompanied with the elements it would be meaningful. It would be counted essential for life to be meaningful and worthy of living.
As for the question on the role of religion in the ground, one can argue for its giving meaning to life. Regarding some qualities such as power, freedom and choosing in human nature, man never can arrive at creativity without any divine authority. It can be, therefore, accepted that in the shadow of religion, creativity would be counted as the aim of human life.
  Key words: religion, creativity, meaning of life, human life.
