Is reiligion supposed to make sense?

Theology thrives in ambiguity. It generates endless debate precisely because it’s built on unverifiable premises and circular reasoning. That’s why it's an eternal hamster wheel for midwits: complex enough to feel intellectually stimulating, but ultimately going nowhere. It promises "truth" while ensuring it never has to deliver, because its gods and doctrines are immune to scrutiny.

Contrast that with enlightenment traditions (like Zen, Advaita, or Taoism): they emphasize direct realization, silence, or dissolution of the questioner. There’s no need to argue what "God is" because they point you past concepts entirely. No apologetics. No creeds. Just "look and see."

Religion preferably should be a ritual science to utilize unseen forces to bring about favourable natural outcomes, not so much a focus on theology.
Like >>17809322 said, theology is ambiguous and thrives on debate. Unlike scientific paradigms which can be replaced through an accumulation of anomalies, unfalsifiable belief systems do not face this same problem. Many of the issues of the Trinity and Christology, for example, are actually more practical than thought, as the question of who and what God is matters with respect to obeying the first commandment.

More of an asukaligion man myself

>>17809314 (OP) Religion provides order to society and a chance for you to be guided to find Truth (God) if you will.

It is okay to be born or join a religion. It is not okay to die in one. You're supposed to grow beyond it and to straight to God, but many people still want to die and go to heaven instead of becoming one with God.

It depends on the religion, and on your spiritual condition. Some Satanic inventions, like Catholicism for instance, are purposefully designed to be contradictory as you get deeper into them. That way they can be sure that you have made a conscious decision to reject God and truth by the time you get to a high position in the "church". That's why Catholic apologists are some of the most cancerous people in the world; The Bible calls them children of Hell. Other false religions may be internally consistent, but are clearly lacking when compared with the correct religion: Biblical Baptist Christianity. Baptist Christianity may or may not make sense depending on whether you are saved. If you are saved, and engage honestly with the scriptures, then yes, it is a religion of reason. If you aren't saved, on the other hand, then you wouldn't be able to come to a coherent understanding of the Bible no matter how many decades you poured into it. Don't make that mistake, get saved today! You can do so by simply watching this video and believing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foRtBHXM16A

No, it is for people who want to live in a fantasy cope because they cannot handle the human condition.
