Sometimes I think am gonna go tell hell cause am not in a religion , but then there is so many religions out there i just say fuck it am gonna live life doing good deeds, what do you think is the true religion ?

This doesn't belong in the main board; we have different sections for a reason. Don't just stare at them and post on the wrong board. This belongs in PERSONAL

umm and how is this personal, am asking if there is a true religion >>2

It really depends on your own definition of true. It can be true for you or a general universal truth. But the latter type of truth can differ from people to people too which makes it even more difficult to tame the answer down to a vague yes or no. However, this doesn't mean that there's no definite answer to this. Of course there is. But then again that answer is far from our reach as we have our own personal biased regarding what the truth is to us. For example, I can claim that Christianity is the true religion and that Jesus Christ is indeed the savior. But then again that's because that's what I believe to be true. And that because that fact is true on my own realm of universe as well as those of the people who agree with me. But of course not everyone will agree with me thus making this statement false to them. Then we can see a clashing of the version of true here. Some may believe that Islam is the true religion while some other people will daresay that religion is nothing but man's madness.

Every religion is true...
For it's believer..
Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man -- living in the sky -- who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do.. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! ..But He loves you.
What a lie...

Religions acts as a guide for people to reach the true kindness, peace, and love. All religions are good but they aren't perfect. Because eventhough it is from the wisdom all over the world, they are man-made.

>>6 Please don't call other people's beliefs a 'lie'. Just because you don't believe the same doesn't mean you have to disrespect what others believe in.

>>6 Every religion is true , for it's believer....that's the short version to >>5

Nah. Christianity is a bit pegan and half the time they're arguing with other religions about what's what. It's kinda obvious ,though, that people back then didn't know how to explain things so they came up with all this mumbo jumbo to explain it.I don't really care about what you believe in as long as you're not an asshole.

I believe that if there actually is a God, then he accepts each and every way each person has of living their life, worshiping him or not.
I'm personally Agnostic, and I don't believe in any single religion. I have this weird mix of beliefs, but I'm not convinced that they are true.
I also follow Determinism a lot, so I don't believe anyone has the right to condemn someone else. I don't believe in Hell, and I don't believe in Heaven.

This question already assumes that there is a god and therefore s religion. There is no evidence for god (temporarily or forever? nobody knows). But to use religion as guide to kindness and peace is redundant. You already have built in compassion and empathy all you need is a bit of reasoning and morality becomes an easy matter.

Personally I don't believe that any real religion is true. Just a tool to tell people how to live, help when they are down, and remind them what the world can be. Though many times religion is used for the wrong reasons and is neglected as the tool it is, I believe that it can help many who are depressed or in doubt of the world.

apathetic or pragmatic agnosticism
The view that there is no proof of either the existence or nonexistence of any deity, but since any deity that may exist appears unconcerned for the universe or the welfare of its inhabitants, the question is largely academic.

Most religious text, or documents, has been written by many different people that bend the previous text. Catholicism was notorious for this, since only the high priests were able to read the Holy Scripture, which was in Latin. Since only the high priests were able to read it they could make some stuff up here and there, but when copying opinions were always added to try to uphold the peace for the time it was written. There is still part of the original in the religious scriptures nowadays, but a lot of it was added along the way, or rephrased.

My own view is there is a god, or a higher being, since there are too many things that support the existence of one. Take Descartes for instance, he proved the existence of a god in many ways. Being in higher level mathematics and science everything works together too well for it to be a coincidence. Even paranormal things occur, and if demons exist, why not the opposite?

Though I think if one lives a good life then they will be treated accordingly when they die, but if they lived a life filled with malice then they will pay for what they did. I think all religions support there being consequences if you do evil in life. So why can't you be rewarded for living a good life?

well in principle everyone should be allowed to believe whatever they want to without anyone else having a say in it. some religions have branched from the same tree but have different ideals. so in truth there is no one true religion and there is no one right religion.

Well, it's obvious that there is a God. Just looking at Nature and its perfection can tell you that much.
I've looked at all the religions and the only one that makes sense is Christianity (Baptist denomination). As a Christian, I can personally tell you that Jesus is real, and the faith and reassurance that comes with it is real.

@Sid
Sid mentioned that he thought people are treated accordingly when the die: good people go to heaven and bad people go to hell. Unfortunately, there is a problem with this reasoning. What decides right and wrong? Without a standard, such topics have no meaning. For instance, a psychopathic serial killer may not think killing is wrong. Does this make it okay to murder? No!
BTW, please don't take any of this personally. Everyone is inclined to believe whatever they like. :D

chosing religion is your choice...important part is whether u belive it or not...im islamic...and i love my religion ...

I just want to say, even if you choose your religion, it's still a little confusing. My aunt has been bringing me to church ever since I was 5, and I still don't understand exactly how getting into Heaven works.

Remember that there is no such thing as a manual to religion.

To offer my own insight:

No, I do not believe there is a single true religion. There are many religions, and every single one of them is flawed to some extent. There is no perfect religion. Some are potentially more accurate than others, but I am not a deity and thus I know not which ones are the accurate ones.

I don't expect everyone to agree with this, nor am I trying to deny anyone their faith, however these are my thoughts. If you're happier ignoring them and continuing with full faith, then do so. If you're interested in the idea, I'll gladly respond later to any comments/discussion.

I'm not in a religion ether and you won't go to hell just cause you don't have one, and a true religion is based on someone's opinion in religion

>>6 What's being asked is whether there is a true religion. It's not asking about whether Christianity is a lie. Please stop bashing other people's believes. It's childish and immature.

Man designed religion in order to keep society in check.But instead it only caused wars and and chaos in its wake.People shovel their religion down our throats whenever they see us walking by them,example(Do you have christ in your heart?One person said to me).Humanity could never agree on one religion so that's why there's so many of them,especially when christianity gets involved and trys to destroy all other faiths around the world like a cult following.Just sickning.In an old book called "Forbidden Knowledge" one of four things man is not supposed to touch is "Religion".

Look, nobody knows. I was hoping this thread would die out, but since it hasn't yet, this thread is a duplicate. We have a thread on religion in either Random or Personal already. You'll have to do a search and find it yourself.

This is so not the place for religion talk XD

>>26 The Internet isn't a place for Religion talk unless everyone's mature enough, which is /really/ unlikely.

God knows everything thats gonna happen.... and god made adam and eve and the devil, so god knew all this was gonna happen but still let it be... Why?.....god could stop all the hatred and suffering anytime he wants but still let it be. I just cant understand why, maybe its cause we humans are not intelligent enough to understand.

>>27 did you ever think that maybe they were talking about the main board?
And even if this was mainworthy, this thread was really poorly done to be a topic of discussion, and will just end in bitch fights.
Of course everyone is going to think their religion is the true religion. Thread solved, everyone go home.

>>29 ummm are you ok

The true religion is that which preaches tolerance, nonviolence, imposes no rules, and seeks the intellectual and spiritual enlightenment of mankind, while offering proof of an afterlife.

So.......neo-paganism or Buddhism.

I agree w/ MaruKai....if anyone rly cares what I think xD I'm personally Hindu...I just like it because underneath the many gods...all it rly says is too accept people and you know....other things that r in the Bhagvad Gita (which is 4 those who don't know a story of the divine.... like the bible i guess?)

Yes there is a true religion! islam! its all about peace no violence despite all those stereotypes americans give us it is the one true religion. You should really check it out!

Fucking here: http://dollars-bbs.org/random/res/1305079023.html

Since you dumbasses are too stupid and/or lazy to find the damn thing yourself, this is the religion thread. Now stoop posting here.

ummm are you ok >>34

>>35 he's mad cuz this section of the site isn't used for topics like this one...

haha XD well isn't here a good place for this thread

" Important topics, overarching Dollars issues, and actual topics of discussion belong here. "

It does seem a bit vague, but apparently religion belongs in the random category. When you think about it, what does your question.. or philosophy about "true religion" have to do with the Dollars?

I'm not saying it's not an important discussion, but peeps just want to keep the site organized.

He's not mad

He's just being Crisis

HURRRRR

>>38 It's not that it doesn't belong here, it does since it's a discussion topic, but it also is a duplicate, and that is a no no as well.

>>9 satanisim is a true religion... but im not realy sure...

Try reading, or at least search about each religion's holy book. There's always something that people like you would want to know...If there are answers of every question that is playing in your head, it's up for you to decide...

a religion is real as long as there are those who beleive it.

Whatever is the "true religion," don't worry about not having a religion yourself. If there is a God up there,I believe that God is a fair and loving one. God's not going to punish you for a silly thing like not having a religion if you live a good life. The only important thing is treating yourself and others around you with love, and I think you'll be rewarded for that. It wouldn't make sense for God to punish people because of whether based on pure dumb luck you believe in the right religion or a different one. Humans aren't all-knowing--the most we can do is make a wild guess at what there is in the afterlife, so I highly doubt God would punish us for being wrong.

>>44 many religions say that if you dont believe and or think about not believing you you are still punished

i myself have just given up on religion.....there are too many to deal with. I believe that people end up where they believe they will end up

For me.. it is better not to believe but you do good stuffs that a religious person must than believing or having a religion that don't do anything or do bad things.

just do what you think is good.

Well there's a possibility that all religions are not true, and they could actually all have the same origin, no one will really know till there already dead

i apologize, did that sound rude?

It depend on your beliefs.

Me personally I am an atheist so I don't really believe in an afterlife. You believe what you want though.

Why is this here? There's a religion thread in Random. This thread is therefore a duplicate, and in violation of site rules.

You judge by learning on the fact or evidence...Example for christian they have bible....for Islam they have al-Quran..for other they have their own source....you read and judge and choose the religion that did not tell lie even once on their book

I, myself, am Muslim. I believe it's the true religion because I've been raised upon it my entire life, and my entire family is Muslim. Maybe you could try reading about it, or reading a translated copy of the Quran. I hope that God may guide you to the true religion,

and of course, above my comment, remember what phantom said. Make sure that whatever you're reading makes sense, and is not lying.

>>1 Basic guidelines for living (morally/spirtual/religously):

1) Don't steal. (Filching doesn't count if the other party does not mind.)
2) Don't commit adultery. (If your partner(s) allow you to sleep with someone outside of the relationship, meaning they consent to you two (or more) having sex, it's fine.)
3) Don't murder. (Killing is fine, though.)
4) Do good deeds and encourage others to do so.
5) Remember that religion is a dick; it's fine to have one, it's okay to name it, it's okay to be proud of it, but never shove it down anyone's throats (especially children) unless they want it and consent to it being shoved down their throats.

>>57 XD

Baptist. Best religion in my book.

Non religious is the best~

God doesn't have a religion.

i think religions are stupid

you dont have to be in a religion i think if you still believe in god and do good things then i think thats all you need

Haruhiism

>>66 Unitology


Altman be praised.

Church of the flying spaghetti monster

>>68 This.

honestly, i have found that all religions are the same, there is one main god who you worship; however, everybody has different rules for worship. (even religions with multiple gods, they have one god above the others and a different set of rules than all other religions) All and all, God has many names. So you can call him whatever you like.

>>71 What about Buddhism? True they have The Buddha, which refers to the inner God-Spirit that inhabits all people, but they have no god figures.

>>72 it is still the same, i never said there had to be a figure. its all just new names and rules to worship the same being ^,.,^

I sorta agree with Kylor. However, I feel that if you look at all those religions close enough, they start to crumble under modern science's lens

d'hell i know

Is there a place talk to Kanra?

>>73 there is no worshiping in Buddhism. How can it be the same as other religions?

The basic purpose of Buddhism is to purify our mind of the “three poisons” of greed, hatred, and ignorance in order to gain enlightenment. Buddhism teaches that all things, all appearances, both outside in the world and inside in our body and thoughts are a creation of our mind.That is why Buddhism is different from other religions.

personally I believe that each religion has something right, and if you take each religion got a part of what they believe right and if you take each correct part, it is the truth behind all of the religions!

I don't believe that any religion in particular is the "true religion". I agree with >>79.

You'll gave me the best answer to my question , I'm very thankful

❥~This is why I love The Dollars~<3

for everyone who replied to this thread completed a mission in the Dollars

>>81first of all you can't get to heaven just by doing good deeds that's not how it works. if you have received Jesus Christ as your Lord you will de judged according to the fact that he already paid the penalty. if you have chosen to live by the law you will be judged by the law.

>>82 The penalty of announcing retardation and trying to shove your dick down people's throats?

Also, "... you can't get to [Heaven] just by doing good deeds..." and, "If you have chosen to live by the law you will be judged by the law." Doesn't the law encourage you to do good deeds? By not following the laws, are you doing bad deeds? By following the laws, are you not doing good deeds?

Follow the law and then you're doing good deeds. However, the law calls for the genocide of a city's people over one person not believing in God. I will not follow that law, because it is an unjust law. Not killing people over religious beliefs is therefore not a good deed because I must kill to follow the law.

haruism, from the meloncholy of haruhi suzumiya! live life tto te fullest!

Have you ever heard of the prophet Mohammed he was the last massenger from god with the last holy message Islam.My advice take Islam , you wont regret it. But make sure to understand the true meaning of Islam .Good luck.

>>83 NOT BY WORKS of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:5). This Bible verse makes it plain and simple that good works will not save anyone. Listen to the message of Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast.” Howmany Scriptures does God need to put in front of our face before we get the idea—salvation is not by merit. “Knowing that a man is NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and NOT BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW: for BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW SHALL NO FLESH BE JUSTIFIED” (Galatians 2:16). The road to Hell is paved with good intentions!!!

 The plain teaching of the Inspired Word of God is that salvation is NOT BY WORKS. You just read the Scriptures for yourself. 

85<< What is Islam? ISLAM IS FALSE, that's the simplest answer. Like all the other religions Islam is a false religion with out any doubt. Quran is the most unimpressive, boring book I have ever read. It does not look like a work of a brilliant intelligent all knowing god from any angle. In fact a 8th grader can write a better book than that. Muslims instead of wasting time in glorifying Muhammad and singing poems describing how remarkable he was should understand quran and critically examine it. They have been gullible for last 1400 years, it is about time they use common sense and take a hard look at Quran and Muhammad if they want to be part of humanity. The glorified version of Islam and Muhammad that muslims learn while growing up and which is in-grained on their minds is not true. Muslims should know the  facts about Islam, Quran, Muhammad and Islamic history.

Screw religion I have science and logic.

Moron.

This is a touchy subject, and this is solely my opinion, but I personally don't believe in any religion. It's impossible for us to know what happens after death...they're too dead to tell us. Also, our reason for being here on earth could be because some guy created us, but how would we know that? Know about the story of Mary and everything in the Bible? It's all made up in Christianity. I don't know much about other religions, but odds are they're made up too. Made up for closure? Something to tell kids? I don't even know.

"From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. 'Go up, baldhead,' they shouted, 'go up, baldhead!'"

"The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the children to pieces."

Well that escalated quickly.

"And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness."
— ISAIAH 34:7

91<< the same thing can't be sead about Christianity because Christianity is not religion! Christianity is Christ! Christianity is "Christ-in-you-ity." Jesus Christ did not found a religion to remember and reiterate His teaching. Christianity is the personal, spiritual presence of the risen and living Lord Jesus Christ, manifesting His life and character in Christians, i.e. "Christ-ones." Paul explained, "It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me" (Gal. 2:20).

>>95 Are unicorns real? What if I say they do? Does believing in something suddenly make it a reality?
WAIT I am not going to get in an argument about religion. Just your name annoys me.

>>95 exactly! :D religion is way different from Christianity. Religion is more of something you have if your family has it as a tradition, and your beliefs are just things you inherent from your family. But with Christianity, it's a choice. People choose whether or not they want Christianity as their true "religion". And they have freedom in their beliefs, and decide themselves how strong they will believe. :)

>>95 So... you seriously believe that Christ is a zombie ghost thing that enters the bodies of Christians and controls every aspect of their lives? I always thought that was like some kind of lame metaphor or something.

Christianity is a religion.

96<< it's a sham you don't believe in the man who died for you so that you could be saved

99<< no Christianity is NOT a religion

98<< According to John 1:14, Jesus became flesh and made His dwelling among us. Why is His humanity so important? In Hebrews 4:15, Jesus was tempted in every way, just as we are. As such, Jesus can sympathize with our weakness as humans. What can we learn from the way Jesus handled temptation? According to 1 John 3:5, Jesus came to earth in human form so that He could die a physical death and take away our sins. How would we all be affected, if we had no potential for escape from our sins?Jesus is the key to membership in God’s family. When He stooped to our level by becoming a man, He made it possible for us to relate to Him and for God to relate to us. through

>>99 I have yet to have any man die for me. But you never answered my question.
...are you a troll?

>>102
Come on.
Figure that one out yourself.
What do you think?

Any god who requires you to worship him in order to you to be saved from eternal suffering is not one you should worship. Go through your life and stay to true to what you believe is right. Whatever happens to you in death so be it.

As for whether there is a true religion or not that depends on your beliefs. You can choose whether or not you want to believe that one is true or that they all are. Religion is about having faith in something so its really all up to you.

There is nothing you have to do for god (or enybody else) the same way as your ant farm's ants cant do a thing what are they not for.

104<< What is worship? Worship means “to give honor, homage, reverence, respect, adoration, praise, or glory to a superior being.” God demands worship because He and He alone is worthy of it. He is the only being that truly deserves worship. He requests that we acknowledge His greatness, His power and His glory.Revelation 4:11tells us, “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.” God created us, and He is a God who will not be usurped. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me” (Exodus 20:3-5). We must understand that God’s jealousy is not the sinful envy that we experience, born out of pride. It is a holy and righteous jealousy that cannot allow the glory due only to Him to be given to another.

Guys, why are you still encouraging him?

Stahp.

To answer some earlier asked questions/statements about there being multiple "true" religions, here is a quote from Socrates that proves that there is only one absolute truth(therefore only one correct religion):

(A dialogue between Socrates and Protagoras)

Protagoras: Truth is relative. It is only a matter of opinion.

Socrates: You mean that truth is mere subjective opinion?

Protagoras: Exactly. What is true for you is true for you, and what is true for me, is true for me. Truth is subjective.

Socrates: Do you really mean that? That my opinion is true by virtue of its being my opinion?

Protagoras: Indeed I do.

Scorates: My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you, Mr. Protagoras, are absolutely in error. Since this is my opinion, then you must grant that it is true according to your philosophy.

Protagoras: You are quite correct, Socrates.

shit up im we'er talking and im havein't sead anything mean since I've been here.

109<< “I amthe way, and THE TRUTH and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 

>>107 You seem to know the Bible well.
I have 2 things to say
1. If you know the Bible so well, then why do you have such a name? With all the talk of Jesus I thought you would know He said to love our enemies? On top of that the New Testament clearly states in Romans that all are sinners(including you and me) and that we are not to judge others in their sin.
2. Which is around the same premise. If we where called to love and bring peace to men, why would you present the Gospel in such a rude way. It clearly misrepresents the message.
Now if you want I'd gladly talk some more somewhere else.

112<< i already know i should love everyone and i do really. i just don't like the fags but lets not get into that.

>>113 Regardless of your opinions(Which should be thrown out the door if you're a slave to Christ, which yes, it's what the Bible tells us to be) the fact is you're name says GOD hates fags.
Not you. Rather LARGE claim. I don't think you or me should make such a claim if not in the Bible.

>>114
He's a troll. Stop arguing logic and shit to him.

>>115 To be fair, he is being comparatively nice today. But I do apologise for having a part in instigating this. I was just incredibly bored, and Islam is a touchy subject for me.

114<< the bible house not tell us to be "slaves" to Christ it tells us to fallow Christ.

for me religion is up to you or the person because its our own belief..

Christianity is the one true religion.  That may sound awfully dogmatic and narrow-minded, but the simple truth is that Christianity is the only true religion.  Jesus said that He alone was the way to the Father (John 14:6), that He alone revealed the Father (Matt. 11:27; Luke 10:22).  Christians do not go around saying Christianity is the only way because they are arrogant, narrow-minded, stupid, and judgmental.  They do so because they believe what Jesus said.  They believe in Jesus, who claimed to be God (John 8:58; Exodus 3:14), who forgave sins (Mark 2:5; Luke 5:20; 7:48), and who rose from the dead (Luke 24:24-29; John 2:19f).  Jesus said that He was the only way.  Jesus is unique.  He was either telling the truth, He was crazy, or He was a liar.  But since everyone agrees that Jesus was a good man, how then could He be both good and crazy, or good and a liar? He had to be telling the truth.  He is the only way.

Buddha didn't rise from the dead, nor did Confucius or Zoroaster.  Muhammad didn't fulfill detailed prophecy.  Alexander the Great didn't raise the dead or heal the sick.  And though there is far less reliable information written about them, people believed in them.

121<< this is not the place for that

Personally, I don't believe that there is one. It's all up to the person

I believe in god but i don't believe in religion, its weird, isn't it?

Fucking religion conversations...lol always good for a laugh or two.

124<< You could simply be non-religious like many people are. That doesn't exclude God, it just means you don't agree with a lot of religion or religious teachings. If you ever see some statistics or charts on non-religious people which sometimes includes atheist and agnostics, etc, a larger part of them are theist and are spiritual or have some type of beliefs. They don't fully discredit god, like an atheist would. They simply don't agree with lot of modern day religions, and religious teachings.

I agree with alot of Japanese/ Wiccan religion, if you ever played final fantasy. They are literally taking a stand against ORGANIZED religion and often practice deicide or god killing. Instead of devotion to a deity in hopes of salvation, try being your own salvation. Using earth to heal. Those who are do blinded by there false hopes are wrong In judging others. Things that can be proven and repeated are fact, but with religion it's inconsistent. Even in the original readings of the religion it's so vague thus hard to follow. Believe in your own power, and in those around you for guidance.

>>126 I agree with basically everything you're saying... but honestly, I think that your screen name (GodHatesFags) should be changed. God does not hate gay people, the Bible doesn't tell us ONCE that He hates gay people. God loves everyone. It doesn't matter what we do, He will still love us. God says hate the sin, love the sinner. Now, I'm not saying that God's ok with homosexuals. He calls it an abomination because humans were made to be with the opposite sex. God wants to bless the unity of a man and a woman to become one in a relationship, just like he wants us to have a relationship with Him. So please change your name because it's not really true.

LONE WOLF KYLE: If you want to talk about anything/want me to explain anything or whatever about this topic or anything else, I'd be happy to help :) Here's my email: trimious71jesusfreak@gmail.com

EXACTLY MY POINT!
You say he does not hate gays but does not accept them? If your god loves all but does not accept gays and members of other religion he is not an all loving god, it's a self serving idiopathic entity. Break from its grasp and see light brighter than everything, a self revelation that would rival the meaning of life.

So lone wolf the answer you should ask is to yourself, WHAT feels Right to you? What makes sense to you?

And lastly
What is the only religion that did not cause wars?

129<< religion does not cause war. If you are an atheist, I ask for your intellectual honesty in evaluating this question. You have every right to believe what you will, but we should all be honest and not sling mud where it is not warranted. Laying war at the feet of religion is just not honest, warranted, fair or accurate.

You're wrong. My God loves everyone, but He will not allow sin into heaven. Basically, God does not really send people to Hell, we send ourselves because we choose to follow ways other then Him, and He is the only way to eternal salvation. He desperately tries to help us, but we as stupid, selfish, sinful humans choose to do whatever makes US happy. Whatever works out for OUR benefit. We seem to think this world revolves around us, when it absolutely does not. In reality, we are nothing. How could we possibly mean something? We're basically just a product of chance, we don't have any authority over this universe. God chose to create us because He wanted to, and He gave us free will because He loves us. He could control everything we do if He wanted to , but that's not love. Kind of like in worldly relationships: If a man is controlling and tries to control his girlfriend/spouse, does he really love her? If he did, he would let her be her own person. This life isn't about what FEELS right to us. I could say that killing people feels right to me, does that make it ok to do? Should I go out and do whatever I want because it might feel right to me? No. Basically you're just saying that truth is relative, which is completely false. And all religion causes war because everyone wants others to believe what they believe but we all have our own opinions. We fight because we want to protect what we believe. I don't like religion, I think it's stupid. Christianity is not a religion, it's a relationship between you and God. A lot of religion is about man trying to search for God, but I believe that it's more of the opposite: God searching for man because He loves us and wants to be with us for all eternity.

"If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair." -C.S. Lewis

You can't just try to live for what makes you happy, what comforts YOU. Because in the end: you will fail. You will not be happy living for yourself. I live to serve God, my Salvation. I will live to please Him, and also to share His word with the people I come into contact with. He is the meaning of my life.

About the war thing: >>130 I kinda disagree with you in a way. Because I believe that religion is just a man made thing, yes I do think that religion causes war. We as people are imperfect, and we fight about religion because... well, it's just what people do :P But religion itself in a way (like without people, just the belief stuff involved) doesnt really cause war.

the only religion that cause war is the Islamic Religion 

I have no hate for any religion, but God can vary to suit peoples needs. Your God could be a holy Father figure, or just someone real whom is like a god for you.

The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule.  Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding.  Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter.

I don't have a religion and if that means im going to hell, so be it.

God is Love. That is all, don't over complicate it.

It's really not whether or not there's a true religion, it's really about what your personal beliefs are.

What do YOU think? Do you truly believe in a higher power, or are you just scared of the picture of Hell printed into your mind? I've seen people who only seem to believe in God because they were told if they didn't, they would burn for eternity.

It seems to me that instead of using Hell as a threat, we should just look into ourselves and question our own place and whether or not we truly believe in some all knowing being. Religion is a matter of personal faith, decided soley by you.

138<< no one meets the criteria to get into heaven. People try to fix it by being better- but they still sinned in the past. Too late. They try to compare to other people- well, I'm better than him. But God doesn't want us to compare to other people; he wants us to compare to him. Which we all fail to do. We- all of us- deserve hell because we have failed to live up to God's standards.

I dunno, I don't think there's a "true religion"... but good deeds? that's pretty damn cool. And besides, if there's a god then he made all of us.. and I don't think anyone who is that supreme and is known to be loving and stuff will judge you for not joining an organized religion... I simply can't comprehend something that's greater than the universe acting so.. uhhh.. no offense.. so human...

Christianity is the one true religion.  That may sound awfully dogmatic and narrow-minded, but the simple truth is that Christianity is the only true religion.  Jesus said that He alone was the way to the Father (John 14:6), that He alone revealed the Father (Matt. 11:27; Luke 10:22).  Christians do not go around saying Christianity is the only way because they are arrogant, narrow-minded, stupid, and judgmental.  They do so because they believe what Jesus said.  They believe in Jesus, who claimed to be God (John 8:58; Exodus 3:14), who forgave sins (Mark 2:5; Luke 5:20; 7:48), and who rose from the dead (Luke 24:24-29; John 2:19f).  Jesus said that He was the only way.  Jesus is unique.  He was either telling the truth, He was crazy, or He was a liar.  But since everyone agrees that Jesus was a good man, how then could He be both good and crazy, or good and a liar? He had to be telling the truth.  He is the only way.

I don't quite understand what you mean by True Religion. As in a religion that is for a fact real, a religion that everybody Should believe in, or a religion that everybody Can believe in? I never have had religious belief. I usually fall back on one question when I think about it.
Babies. If a baby dies after birth will it go to Hell? I mean it should since it doesn't exactly believe in anything, seeing how it doesn't even understand the concept of breathing. Not to mention if God is all knowing then why give birth to the baby in the first place? If he knows the beginning of it's life will also be it's end why go through the trouble? All it will do is bring grief to those who brought it to life.
And, if I were to believe in a higher being, then I think I would find that the Greek mythology comes closest to being believable. The Gods remind us of Us, which I think is important. Following somebody that we can relate to rather than an omnipotent deity that plays "Sims" 24/7.

>>141 Good for you, you've found your true religion~

>>142 when it comes to mythology, you're point is exactly what makes greek mythology the least believable for me. because well, Greek gods are very human and i don't like the thought of someone striking me with lightning if he does not approve of the way I live...and even if we can relate well with them it's an unsettling thought for me to be under the control of superbeings... I think I believe in the universe now.. hehe Though that's just an opinion :D

I think that there is no true religion because all religions lead to God. Every religion is right and no one is better than another. They are all parts of one whole; you have to look at the sum of the parts.

144<< all religions are NOT the same.

142<< if a baby died after birth it would go to heaven because it didn't do anything wrong god know that a baby dousen't know who god is. a baby is pure and innocent and god won't send pure and innocent people to hell.

bump

>>146 Yup, all those people who died in The Inquisition totally deserved it because they were totally not innocent and they totally deserve to burn in hell for being unpure and guilty just for not believing in the same thing/way as Catholics did.

Yup; it all seems legit despite the possibility of their goodliness.

/sage

Then I might as well kill all the babies being born at this very moment which will send them to heaven with no other choice. That'd make me a good person, no?

>>86 Okay, lemme kill a thousand niggers and kill a thousand spics and kill a thousand crackers and kill a thousand chinks and kill a thousand women and kill a thousand babies and kill a thousand Christians and kill a thousand Hebrews and kill a thousand Muslims and kill a thousand Budhist. It'll be fine 'cuz I believe in God and all I have to do is ask for forgiveness.

>>87 Sounds like you're talking about Christians.

>>95 http://cdn.head-fi.org/8/86/861f60b8_implied-facepalm.jpg

>>101 He's God; He's supposed to know. 'Sides, if he is God, and God created evil and sin, then he should know about it since he inflicts it upon others. If you believe he created everything, then He created evil. He also allows evil; He can get rid of it at anytime.
However, the magic powers He has is all fairytale. It's just like Humpty-Dumpty, minus all the crucifixtions and raping and other morally-questionable behavior approved by God.

>>107 Damn, what an arrogant cunt He is. So pride and vainful. It's almost (actually, it is!) a sin.

>>119 "Christianity is the one true religion. That may sound awfully dogmatic and narrow-minded, but the simple truth is that Christianity is the only true religion. Jesus said that He alone was the way to the Father (John 14:6), that He alone revealed the Father (Matt. 11:27; Luke 10:22). Christians do not go around saying Christianity is the only way because they are arrogant, narrow-minded, stupid, and judgmental. They do so because they believe what Jesus said. They believe in Jesus, who claimed to be God (John 8:58; Exodus 3:14), who forgave sins (Mark 2:5; Luke 5:20; 7:48), and who rose from the dead (Luke 24:24-29; John 2:19f).

But since everyone agrees that Jesus was a good man, how then could He be both good and crazy, or good and a liar? He had to be telling the truth. He is the only way." Your arguement has so many flaws that I don't even want to point out due to the amount of time it would take for me to properly refute them.
Hahaha, you're cute.

>>120 Because they exsisted and there is actually living proof of them. Some scholars say He may exsisted but do not support the claims of His power.

>>126 http://s23.postimage.org/t9rhkckqz/35528098.jpg

>>130 The Inquisition~ What a show~

>>133 The Inquisition~ Here we go~

>>135 The Bible calls for genocide of a whole cities if one does not believe in God. Beat that, nigguh.

>>139 He doesn't want us to compare ourselves to Him; that would be vain. However, if He does want us to, then He's just provoking another Lucifer (if you believe that's how Lucy fell)~

>>141 Repost off >>119.

Why do we keep bumping this fail troll thread? Sage this shit, niggas.

/sage

as far as I know... Evil doesn't exist. It's just merely the absence of good. Much as like cold, with the absence of heat(accd. to Albert Einstein which actually makes sense.)

150<< everything you say is invalid

>>151 if evil dousen't exist then how do you exsplane lucefer? isn't he evil?

>>153

then how can you explain he DOES exist?

No one can. LOL

and iirc. Lucifer is a fallen angel. So basically he was an angel at one point which makes him GOOD.

-.- wow it's amazing how many stupid people there are on here

>>156 a legitimate response would be much better. not an insult. lol

if lucefer is so good then why douse he want us to go to hell. you do know that he hates us right?

>>159 as from what I said earlier - evil is just the absence of good(go figure, search up what Einstein said whether evil does exist. I'm just basing all my arguments from what he said and not from my beliefs). And I never said Lucy is "so good", I was pertaining to the point when he was still an angel.

The Bible claims that Lucifer pulled a third of the hosts of heaven down with him when he fell. Mormonism goes a step further by teaching that Lucifer tried to convince the pre-existent spirits to follow him and his plans for salvation. Those who agreed with his thinking were cast out of heaven. he was good at one point but he is evil now.

>>131 Thank You! Someone gets it!

@GodHatesFags ...I feel uncomfortable even typing that...
I actually agree with pretty much everything that you are saying. I think that you know what you are talking about and we share a lot of the same opinions. Unfortunately, despite all of the things that you have said, and even despite you talking kindly to those who are disagreeing with you, you are still coming from a place of hate. I mean come on, it even says so in your name. We are not to hate anyone. In fact, we aren't even supposed to just tolerate people; we are to love them. And I know that you know that God does too. You're smart enough to know that God doesn't hate gay people, and you are smart enough to know that He doesn't want you to tarnish His name like this. No matter how many good things you say on this thread (and you are saying some very good things) you are still giving a bad name to Christians everywhere when you post under a name like that. I am glad that there is a thread out there like this. It is an interesting discussion, and some good things could come from it, but no one is going to take anything you say seriously when they hear you talking about love with a very name that spouts hate. So please, sit down and talk with God for a little bit. Figure out if this is really the best way to accomplish what you are trying to accomplish. Then maybe you can listen to your own words and come back from a true place of love.

Bumping up good old threads

But we can all agree that members of the Westboro Baptist Church are faggots

maby every one think his religon is the true

Christian catholic and Islam religion are both side of the same coin, so they're way far being a true religion

i'm Muslim

i'm Muslim

My family is catholic but I consider myself to be mutual. I don't try to believe but neither do I say anything about peoples religions. But I do believe in some concepts.........but not many.
So I'd say religion is whatever can sustain you spiritualy.

I wonder if there is one that is true.

I myself am an atheist. Don't believe in God. There's no proof, after all. You decide yourself of what is "true" and "false."

To answer this thread: There must be one true "Truth" whether it be a religion or not or whether we know about that truth currently (probably still working towards it). To back this up read the dialogue i posted earlier at 109.

BUMP
I forgot I actually made a decent thread

>>173 You have never made a decent thread.
You're a poop and I'm going to flush you out, bruh.

Well.. if it's really who I think it is, I am not sure I believe it.. this is the last place I expected the WBC. If it really is.. I'm also rather surprised there's been no butthurt going on in this thread. Pleasantly surprised. Fine points are made indeed, and you're very convincing, unlike what I have seen so far in other places. However.. I am not one to abide by any. I am unsure what awaits me after this life, but whatever it may be, I have no fear of it.

no one can really give you an ancere though they have there own opinion but really no one has the true ancere to your question because we all our looking for that our self's it is just apart of being human and anyone who tells you different is just kidding them self's its just something that you have to decide for your self i my self am a Christan but then that just my belief

>>175 was a responce to the bloke who posted >>119>>117>>111>>110>>107>>101>>100>>99>>95

My response to this thread? Well.. when it comes to religion, I say do what feels right. I would suggest either Christianity or Buddhism.

>>177 He's a troll that isn't even around anymore, plox ignore him.

You all seem smart and opened minded enough for true knowledge even though some will disagree but to find the truth search the da13thsun some will truly connect to the information some will not 13love to you all

When it comes to religion, you should be able to choose what you think is the right one for you. Me, for instant, doesn't believe in any god of any religion. I know there is someone up there but whether his name is god or something else is irrelivant to me.

Religion was created by men when we had no explanation of the world around us.
Now we understand more, it has outstayed its welcome.

there is no TRUE religion just do good in life and you will be set

This is the quotation that might help you
"It's not how high you praise GOD, it is how straight you walk with obedience in your life."

-An atheist saint here- :)

I my self am a mormon and i truelly believe that my church is the one true church.

personally i dont believe in god, hell or heaven. but i think that since there is no sure fire way to know who is right and who isnt, the best thing you can do is just believe in whatever seems right to YOU, no matter what anyone else says. its perfectly fine to have every person have different believes and disagree politely, as long as no one tries to force their religion or views/beliefs on someone else. :) it doesnt even have to be a set "religion" i believe in some stuff but i have no religion. i believe in what i believe, not a set of rules. we should all follow what feels right to us. i

Well I'm christian :D I am not saint :D however I felt the presence of Him. I really believe that my faith is the right one but I don't think that Muslim or any other religion can't go to heaven :)) . It's lucky to be in the right religion but it doesn't have to decide about your next life. It's the choices that you make in your life. :)

I do believe that there is a religeon and none are right or wrong and that if we follow that religeon then thats the right thing to do. I might think that because I'm Christian though.

In my opinion, religion was made up so that people won't find out the secret of the walls.

>>183 ...Did you just seriously label yourself a saint?


>>188 Yeah, the government probably invented it so we wouldn't figure out how they also created cancer and AIDS and did 9/11.
sarcasm/10

>>188

I see what you did there.

Just be a good person and do anything that doesn't harm anyone and yourself physically and mentally

Haters made their way into this site too ->Godhatesfags.< burn it before it makes children

perma sage this because any talk of religion isn't going to get anything positive going ...

Maybe you just a retard..every religion taught us to do good

@Mad_Cat your an idiot I'm not saying religion isn't positive, I'm saying it gets people debating too heatedly and opens up to hating of other religions, so no sir your the retard for not reading.

Religion might be the reason for many debates however we cannot pin the blame of why they're become so heated on it. Essentially we're just bad at debating things we strongly believe in as human beings. Essentially you shouldn't force yourself to find a religion, if you are to come to support one then it should happen naturally. Oh and as for a true religion, I'm Christian so naturally I would come to support Christianity as the true religion. I vaguely remember someone explaining various reasons to support this to me a while back, if I think of them ill try and come back and post them here.

I am a christian, but I don`t go to masses. I just do what I think is right.

I'm a Christian as well. On the subject of "just being good" it doesn't make sense if you look at it this way: if you were in court trying to get a person who, say, stabbed your friend to death punished and that person told the judge not to punish them because they did good in most of their life, would you expect the judge to let that person go free? No, because they did one bad thing they are going to get punished. Fortunately, God gives us a chance. Because he sent his son to die for us, if we believe in Him, He takes our punishment for us and lets us go.

I think that the true religion is to believe in yourself
or have faith that something good going to happen
and or to do what you think is right. Just because your
not religious doesn't mean your going to hell
just believe in what you want and live your life as
yourself :3

I say forget about religion. All it does is make things too complicated. Since you're asking, I say first ask yourself: what kind of person do I want to be? Good? Bad? Then based off of your answer, live your life trying to fit that description. I say believe in the good of humanity. Sure, we make a lot of bad decisions, but there is greatness in all of us somewhere, and it is our duty to our fellow man to make each other's lives better. But hey, that's just me and it has worked out great for me so far.

>>141 Have you ever read the book of Isaiah? That contradicts about everything of what you just said.

One does not need religion to have good morals or values. Just follow a utilitarianism philosophy, which is just about helping others for the greater good.

For me it doesn't matter what you choose or what kind of religion you have. The only matter is your faith. there is a lot of religion in the world but i believe that even if they call there God in different name, even if there is a lot of names and beliefs in this world, it will only end up in one name.
I believe that those names belong to only one and that is God Himself. I respect those people who believe in the different views. And if you choose a religion make sure that when you enter that religion you will become a human being which is now closer to God.

Nya!

Religion is something man made up to make morals somewhat important, then man started believing it, and killing others for not believing same as them, and now you have religion, you must understand its mostly fake, don't call me an atheist, because I'm not, and all religion is good for is teaching morals and keeping you in check, there is no true religion because all religion says the other is fake and has absolutely no proof what so ever, not saying there isnt some kind of god, like God, Allah, Gali, and so on, (sorry if i missed yours) and if you're not sure which one you want to believe in, call yourself a diadist, (dee-ah-dist) basically you believe in some kind of god but one one specifically, and i think i am spelling it wrong but its a real religion, just a more uncommon one. And you will probably be bombarded with christians saying they are right and all others will go to hell because they don't believe in their god, and a bunch of crap, so have fun religion hunting!

well, some people say that god is watching us but i'm thing that he abandoned us to see how long we live....(NOT RELIGIOUS)

This is still alive... Wow awesome... Anyways I found my answer form all of you who answered on my thread... and it was 'there is no true religion'... Every religion are based off of facts the religion itself created... it's like if they were a rock religion and and on the rock it says 'this is the true religion'.... get what I'm trying to say.... if not.. then you're blinded as fuck...

>>210 Or you can't communicate worth shit.
That too.

First off, I respect other religions. I'm a Christian, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. There is a Latin term: Ex Nihilo, Nihil Fit. It translators to, "Out of nothing, nothing comes." It is impossible for something to come out of nothing. There is always a cause and an effect. Of course, you'd be thinking, "Then something had to cause God, right?" Well, God is ETERNAL. We can't wrap our minds around that, but it's true. God has always been. That's why he says He's the Great "I AM." However, it's good to respect all religions. I'm just putting this out there. Look up "Theology," and you'll see some pretty concrete facts that great Theologians have come up with, such as Aquinas.

islamic religion,try to know about it and about its miricals..and think if it looks right or not,but you need to search about it in safe websites like wekipidia or something. good luck and i wish you'll find the way that'll lead you to heaven.

>>211 I could say the same for you if could understand what you just said :I

Now my religion it's Asátru but in the past when I young and for family reasons was Christianity. I always respect other religions, but have one in particularly have pissy me off it's the Evangelical because they it's so closed mind and all time appears in my house 6am. in the Sunday the only day I have to sleep!!

I say Christianity, but its whatever you think

Mina-san~! Do me a favor and comment this topic after you all read Al-Quran, the Bible, and find information about aaall the religions~! C'mon, don't be hypocrite ^^"

whats gonna happen when this hits 666 posts? :o

Humans have an interesting way of manifesting what they believe in and seeing that as reality. I think religion is another way to look at life, and there's no objectively right or wrong answer because religion is an area of subjectivity initially. How do you convince someone their reality isn't real?

What kinda funny is that almost every religion out there follows God in some way or form. The most popular is Christianity, which technically I follow. To be honest, I just believe in God, thus believing in Jesus and I follow the Bible which records them both. To be honest, I have always been a Christian since birth, but up until recently I just kind of blindly followed Him. Then, a few weeks ago, my prayer was answered in an amazing way, and now I am a full believer. I think that every religion is true in some way, but each and every one has some lies in it due to the fact that God is so complicated that humans have an extremely hard time of figuring Him out. Yep, thats my short answer...

Actually I'm Christian, but I don't consider myself as. I was forced to be but it's not like it bothers me, honestly I don't really care about religion. It seems that our days religion is source of many conflict. Well, it's a pretty sensitive topic but sometimes religion look more like a pride than a religion. Since I'm young I've never cared about that and I guess I will never. But if religion can give hope to people, it's a good thing.

I believe that self-discipline's pretty important. I also believe that many religions are WAY too big on guilt.

I'm agnostic. If you don't know, this means that I have no way of knowing whether there is or isn't a god. The thing I like about this religion is that it's not controlling, and I have other beliefs along with this. For one, even if there is a god, he/she/it shouldn't be worshipped, because they are the cause of all the suffering in the world. This is just my opinion, so whatever you believe is fine with me.

I'm not sure which to believe if there is a God or not. I personally agree at what Rin-sama and the others said here. Religion is one of the source of conflicts around the world

I'm a satanist. (And if you think, I'm kidding I'm not.)
:)

I personally think Satanists have a better understanding of what life should be, in all honesty.

Try looking into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I'm sure you'll find the answers you're looking for. www.lds.org

what the hell is this

I am a Christian, myself. I know that sometimes it can be overwhelming, and there IS going to be doubt (trust me). But, I believe that there is a higher power out there. I have been blessed. And I know a lot of people don't want to worship a god because of all of the suffer they supposedly brought, or because they just don't believe in a god. And I'm not going to say that they are bad people. All I'm saying is that, I believe that there is a god, and He has blessed me in ways that I... just can't explain. :)

>>1 I find it amusing that you think you going to hell specifically because your not in a religion, since the concept of hell is the product of religion. Are you truly as irreligious as you say? For if you have the fear of divine punishment then you believe in a concept that many thousands already do, thus, you are in a religion. Your belief can be as simple as that if you wish it to be. All you must do is be content that your life and your actions forfill that belief.

>>235 d-did you just flawlessly win that debate with one sentence?

I don't believe in god or something else, but I don't laugh about people who do. Everybody should believe in what he want and what makes him happy!

My thoughts on this have changed recently-ish because I realised what my way of thinking/"beliefs" meant. I'm Agnostic and I doubt I'll be certain about anything but I will answer the question from the view of my theory as a belief.

So to answer your question, yes I think there is many true reliigions. That might sound strange or contradictory but I've been looking at it differently recently. Is the "truth" constant to the world? We've always looked at it like there's a single truth that applies to everything but what if that's not how it works. What if the truth is dependent on the individual? To some people god might exist and Christianity makes sense but to others it might not. I think it might be a bit more complicated than just that and have variations and it could even be different in a way for everyone but I think you get the jist of it. However, if you're asking for a religion that is true and is the same for everyone then I'm going with no. There's probably a belief that's true for everone but if you're after a religion like Christianity or something then I doubt it. I just don't see them working for everyone but I still think it's possible that they're true.

Well that's my thoughts on the matter. Let me know what you think or if I didn't make sense. See ya ^^

>>236 That was not really my intention, I didn't mean to argue for either side of the 'is god real' debate. In fact I don't think this thread is about that at all, being part of a religion and believing in a God or in hell are two very different things, and its important to understand what it means to be, or desire to be part of a religion. If you want to be part of a religion and are afraid of divine punishment because you think you ought to believe in something then it suggests you feel lost and unsatisfied with your current life. People who are not sure if they are doing the right things, or living a constructive lifestyle, or life simply hasn't turned out as they expected it to, may feel 'lost' spiritually. Finding a common religion where there are guidelines on how you should live your life can really help people in those sorts of moralistic or spiritual 'crisis'. (Though no offense to OP if that's no why they feel that way).
I personally do not believe in a God, something I see as supernatural and unproven, but I do see value in Religion, independent of God. It allows cooperation, community spirit, moral and spiritual support and guidelines on how people should treat others and live their own life in a self satisfying and productive way. I would encourage you to be in a religion if you feel comfortable within one, it will likely improve you.

As for the Idea of a 'true' religion? What do you define as true? Truth is relative. There is a saying that goes along the lines of: If enough people want it to be true than it will be. Think about the divide between those that believe in god, and those that do not. Both sides think they know the 'truth' of the matter.
I encourage you to disregard to term 'truth', its irrelevant really and its use will only lead to conflict.
Look to believe in what you are comfortable believing in. If you are dissatisfied with your religion, then go find one that works for you. There is nothing immoral or sinful about that if you believe it to be right for you.

A simple yet true enough answer, "Religion of those afraid of going to hell, Spirituality is for those whom have already been there". I speak from experience, When I was in need and was attending a church not one person cared enough to help, I came out enlightened of this issue. If heaven exists, It is different for everyone. I am a full fledged tarot card reading and I never get one wrong card. I am also skilled in witchcraft of more then ten forms of "religion". If There is a true one, They all have the power to be true, for one cannot humanly judge it, respect them all equally, that does not mean you must follow them. In a sense religion has failed me, this is my conclusion, Spirituality of religious belief, not one form but all are "true" but only if you can see the piece from each that fit and can distinguish the fabricated lies of man... A clue lies in each one of them...

One can easily do some research and elighten themselves to belief whatever makes the most sense to them and suits them the most =) Something to keep in mind though, is to respect other religions or those who dont have one at all (or havent yet)!I'm a muslim and I have Catholic, Hindu and Jewish friends. I respect their beliefs and they respect mine (and we dont shove our religions down each others throats either, we have nice talks about our different beliefs which is totally chill)!!One last thing to remember is to not associate extremists with a certain religion ..they are terrible people out there who use religion as an excuse to make war =( But that does make that specific religion or all its believers ''false'' or ''bad''! That's all I had to say~~

I agree with Skaffen! Truth, at least when it comes to religion, is not easy to pinpoint. I'm Catholic myself, raised Catholic, and I have doubted quite often, but I try my best to follow my religion and going to church and praying definitely help me to grow as a person. I only encourage you to be morally strong and to treat others as family
