The core of all religion is belief and belief is an integral part of the human psyche---if all religion is flawed, then it is because at some level, the human element will reveal our inability to come to a common conclusion on what "truth" is; if this rings true, then we must at least consider that while we may all disagree with HOW we believe, the fact that we ALL believe something shows that we at least have the capability to espouse "truth" on some level. Believers will not convince those that require physical evidence nor will non-believers successfully reason away that which is spiritually discerned by their counterparts; both ends exist to defeat the "lie" by strengthening reason and fortifying faith--"truth" needs no champion because it's nature is unchangeable--regardless of who claims to know it.

You said:
"I believe that not one religion that i know of, can say that that are the "One" "True" religion"
Actually, they can all say that if they want to. It doesn't necessarily make it so, but they can still say it. Remember, however, that Jesus Himself said that only He is the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no man comes to the Father except through Him. So according to Jesus, there really is only one way. I challenge you to find this "straight to the point" teaching in the other religions of the world; it's not popular.
You also said:
"I have found a fault in all religions"
Wow - have you? Someone mentioned on here that there are thousands upon thousands of religions on this planet. There are more than one thousand religions in North American alone that claim to be "Christian" faiths. You have found fault in ALL of them? That's a lot of research! Why not take my advice on this: don't bother with religion - seek only TRUTH. Remember that Jesus modeled a servant's lifestyle - sacrificial, giving and unselfish. Who in their right mind wants to follow His teachings and those of the apostles? If you have truly read and studied the Scriptures, then you would recognize these facts. Look inside yourself now - do you not feel your own selfishness, as I do? Do you not desire to excel above others, as I do? Do you not desire things like money, power, fame, as I do? If you do not, then you yourself are God for only He has the power to rise above such things. Because we are this way, we are SINFUL, and in need of a savior, but not just any - The Savior, Jesus, Who is the ONLY Way. Who else teaches this besides the Bible?
Your question answered, by the way:
"So who is with me??"
Luke 11:23
"He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters."
And one last thought:
Matthew 10:28
"Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
May God bless.

I believe that religions are set to calm people down and to give people some hope in life. I do agree with you to some extent that there are faults in the different types of religion. They all believe that their religion is "the religion" because it's the fact. Each religion believes that "God" has spoken to them in one way or another and directs them the path to "eternity". We don't really know "the truth" until we actually faces death, but then, would it be "too late"?

How can you be both an agnostic and an atheist? An agnostic believes that God exists but is so transcendent that people can't know God. An atheist believes there is no God at all. Which are you? Don't call yourself both; that would be a contradiction.

Well, if you're agnostic, then you're not sure about religions. It seems to me that you've made up your mind. You're atheist and believe in no god. Already that belief finds fault with all other faiths.
I havta disagree with you, I don't find fault in mine.

Sorry dude, not me. Ever heard of that little thing called freedom of religion. I respect your beliefs. Maybe you should learn to respect others beliefs. I am not asking you to join my religion, but you could at least respect that fact that some people do have that in their lives.

If this area is making you angry then hang out in a different place because this is what we all like to talk about. THis place has opened my eyes to many things. Be a little open minded as you expect others to be.

I am so glad you are so smart to find fault with all these people's beliefs, but I find fault in you that you can't even make a flower. You must be very stupid to insult our intelligence, that someone would actually listen to your opinions. What a joke!!!!!!

What other topics that aren't in agreement with your opinion(s) piss you off? Keep a level head, you've made your choice respect others' rights .... its irrelevant whether I agree with you or not. Your approach is narrow minded and bigoted.
