    Yes, I believe religion is necessary. Many humans believe that not all power can be seen or explained. Many of us have a deep need to find meaning in life, death and the world/universe around us. We attribute these things to a higher power. As for uniting all in a single way to follow Christ, for Chrisitans that is a good thing. But it leaves out the vast majority of humans. Christ is not the central figure in most of the world’s religious beliefs, Christ is central only to Christianity. A single method of following Christ still leaves out the majority of humans, Buddists, Muslims, Jews, Hindu’s, Taoists etc would still have differing religious opinions.

    If you are refering to the 10 Commandments, I assume you are referring to the New Testament version? IN the Old Testament the Commandment is ‘Thous shal not murder’. A vast difference between ‘thou shalt not murder’ and ‘Thou shalt not kill’. An interesting difference too, could provide hours of conversation.
