Why do we have so many religions going door trying to spread their word and trying to "Save" people from being doomed or sent to hell when the buddhists, who are by far the most caring and compassionate beings on earth, never go door to door? I really respect them for that!

I can only see three outcomes of death. Two of them are hard to believe, and the other one i dont want to believe. I was introduced into christianity from my family, and at times i think i honestly believed in it. But as i have gotten older, it seems more like something magical, or made up than something factual. I've spent the last 5-10 years contemplating what's going to happen to me when i die. I'm not really scared of death, but what comes after death, if something does come after death. Basically what i'm scared of is going to hell, because i'm not living a christain life, like my family is. But as more time goes by, it seems more and more like it's just all made up so we won't be scared of death, or what may come after death. The only other things that i believe can happen after death is, that we just blink out of existence, and are never alive ever again, or go to another reality or dimension other than this one. I just don't know what to think, or do. Please help me. Thank you

How can FSM be so great, when there are bigger, better Pastas available? Manicotti is mighty, Canneloni is canny, and Lasagne is the greatest of them all!!!

"Several people in the modern world impart education that leads to evil ways. Denounce such education. Do not go after it. You must enquire, "will it help to purify my heart or not?" If you feel it is not conducive to your progress, you must give it up immediately. Only when you are able to satisfy your conscience will your life be happy, peaceful,and contented. Do namasmarana (repetition of the Name) incessantly. "

The above quote from Sai Baba, Does that can be said to mean Constant Contemplation on Godhood is the Ultimate Solution to all the vexed problems faced by today's world ?

The Book states that Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus Christ. If so, did Jesus, facial or other bodily feature wise, resemble Virgin Mary? How about Joseph(the father?)? Does Bible have a passage describing his resemblance to any one of his biological parents?

I don't mean just religious. I have that. I mean more calm, focused and sensitive to the higher and greater meanings in life.

It has taken a stand against moral relativism, the degredation of the value placed on human dignity and life, but is virtually alone in its efforts among a secular and contemptuous world which preaches open-mindedness but still attacks religious rights.

I was never given a religion as a child and nor was God spoken about much in my house and if he was brought up it was usually in the curse form. A few years back I decided to believe and have faith in God but because of my lack of knowledge about God and religion found it very hard to choose what religion I should choose with all the different meanings of each religion and conflict with each, I ended up throwing in the towel and walked away feeling I had to have a religion in order to believe or worship. Well here I am a few years later finding myself wanting and needing God in my life but again am faced with the conflict of what religion I should choose. Do I have to have a religion to believe and have God accept me or is the fact I read the bible and try to follow his teachings to the best of my ability good enough?

This quote is from an answer given elsewhere:

"The difference between Christian morals and others may be that Christian morals are selfless and others may be for more selfish reasons."

I don't get this. If I am an atheist, and I do not believe in an afterlife, what (aside from obvious legal repercussions) is stopping me from doing whatever makes me happy? Why not embezzle money and kill anyone who bugs me? There's no heaven to reward me and no hell to punish me--so why not?

If I am a Christian, and I believe I will be rewarded in the afterlife for my good deeds, why wouldn't I work my butt off to accumulate more good standing with God?

Why would a Christian have morals?
Why would an atheist have morals?
Is it more commendable to do what is right because you are being rewarded for it, or to do it because of your own decision?
