You seem to say the religious practice is not necessary to get into heaven. While that may be true, that does not mean religious practice makes no sense. Many people practice their religion simply because they enjoy doing what the Lord wants them to do. The Lord may not require them to do all these things, but he would be pleased if we did. And so, many people partake in practices simply because they want to. It makes them happy knowing they are making the Lord happy. If doing things that gives you joy doesn't make sense to you, then so be it. |
It seems like you assume that religious practicing increases your chances of entering heaven. That is what doesn't make sense to me, not wheather practicing brings joy or not.

No, I don't assume that. In fact, in my second sentence, I assume that the opposite is true for argument's sake. I said that assuming religious practicing doesn't increase your chances of getting to heaven, it still makes sense because people enjoy doing it. And since you're not challenging whether that makes sense, I'll assume you don't believe it doesn't make sense. In such case, you're problem is with (some) people's perception of religious practice, not religious practice in and of itself.
