I'm not going to state mine. But I will say all religions have inconsistancies and some error.

Also, it depends on what you call "correct". A Catholic priest will admit to you that there is another religion besides theirs that follows the Bible closer than any other religion.

Religion should be a personal thing and stay in the home and places of worship. Not to be used for politics or govenment, not for jihads or crusades. Not in pledges or courthouses if you really believe in freedom of worship.

Answer 2

Athiest/Agnostic

I am an athiest because I abhorred, and do not believe in the idea of religion. The idea that God(s) would not accept you, or that you will suffer because of some rule set up, almost always, by the worldy 'authority' on God(s), is absolutely dumb in my opinion. Almost every religion has 'rules' intermixed not only with the supposed teachings of God(s), but also includes the personal beliefs and/or agendas of the worldly 'officials'.

I am an agnostic because I have no innate, natural feeling for any higher power that would be considered a God. But all the same, I have no instinct to tell me there is no God. It has nothing to do with whether I'm 'sure' or not, it simply has to do with possiblity, and my own contentedness with that.

Answer 3

I'm a Jehovah's Witness. I believe it is really the true religion,because I have been on both sides of the boat before, many, many times. I used to think when I was growing up that what my religion taught couldn't be completely right about things like immorality and all that, and that it was simply their point of view, but when I actually tried things on my own, without the benefit of looking in the Bible to see what it has to say (Witnesses base their beliefs firmly on the Bible and nothing else, so if you believe in the Bible, we have more in common than you think), it always ended badly. I was never happy when I was trying to figure it out on my own without God's help. When I finally bit the bullet and swallowed my pride (which is a large pill to swallow) things became so much easier. And I was surrounded by genuine people, not fake friends who only told me one thing to my face but said other things about me later. I have never, ever, found a group of people more selfless and Christlike, and if he tells me to associate with people who follow him, I don't know where to turn other than where I am.

Answer 4

Jesus has the answers to life and death because he died and rose.... and how do I know?

There were eyewitnesses, some incredibly unlikly like a woman of no reputation. Even the enemies of Jesus agreed he did miracles and the apostles held the story until death, dying for a lie being unlikely given human nature

Additionally there were the miracles of Jesus as recorded by eyewitnesses and the prophesies fortelling details pointing to the right place and time

So I choose to glorify God, leaning on the work of His Son on the cross believing for eternal life.

Answer 5

I am an Unitarian/Buddhist. I believe in a benevolent force, in some sort of greater being that made it possible for life to exist, but I don't believe in the Christian god. I believe in the equality of all human beings, in the persuit of your own personal happyness through any means nessesary (same sex marrages, abortion, drug use, whatever you want, as long as it dosn't hurt others), and that people, in general, should all just try and get along. I also follow the teachings of Buddah because I agree with his teachings on inner peace. I don't know if my way is right, but I know it makes me happy, and that is all that is needed.

Answer 6

I am a born again Christian. I ask Jesus to save me 16 years ago, He did it immediately. I could tell. I changed on the inside, I became a different person. Anyone who knew me could tell the difference. I know it is correct because it worked. The Holy Spirit has been with me for 16 years. I know there is a God.

Answer 7

I asked Jesus into my heart 16months ago. I have come to experience Him in many ways. I was an absolute athiest and would not allow my children into R.E in school. I am 32 years of age and now call myself a christian. I cannot explain how He has changed my life but MANY things have been broken off that I suffered from for many years ie: anxiety, depression, anger, self doubt etc. I read one page of the bible every day and I am a testimony to MANY extraordinary blessings in our lives (I have three children). For instance when we just finished eating our last meal I say "Lord Thankyou for this food we just ate. I am trusting in you to provide meals for us till payday, Amen" And He delivers through others. Many, Many Many things like that have happened to us (shoes, money, food, emotional strengths, clothes, what ever we have needed at the time). We do not need to struggle anymore. It is too much to believe sometimes but it is the truth. Ask Him into your heart and see what happens!!!! Bless ya!!

Answer 8

Religion enslaves to moral codes, atheism enslaves to the desires of self, Christ sets free all that will repent, acknwledge their need, and believe in Him. Read the gospel of John from the New Testament of the Holy Bible and find freedom.

Grace and peace to you.

Answer 9

I am a follower of the teachings of jesus.

I have no religous affiliation.

I feel that organised religion is a limitaton on the real God.

I study a book that was given to us by revelation from Jesus. It is called the course in miracles.
