People have this idea that you need to be part of something to be recognized by god but all the while they are filling the voids or pains in their lives with a religion. There is nothing wrong with just choosing to be....be a good person and love people because you can and not because you have to. When you look to a religion to make you feel whole, you have lost site of what life is truly about. At this point religion has just become control and you only do good things because you have to and not because you want to.
Chose to be spiritual and not religious....religion is for those who need to be told how to be good; when we all just have what that takes as humans. Religion only causes confusion.

I'll tell u somthing, if you look back in time u can find out only one religion, and then people started to "split". but u can see that our life has a base of the origin only religion...like the date for instance..didn't u ask ur self why did they choose this specific "birth of Jesus" to start counting years??...anyway..if u asked this question u seem to have learned about all kinds of religions!!!...then i guess u have the capacity to know what's right and what's more right!!

You can't be sure, that's why it's called Faith (although many people assume that their religion is the 'right' one because it's all they know)
Do the right thing and lead a good life, respect human life and wellbeing, equal rights, freedom of speech and religion, and generally be a good person, and the world will be better for it. More importantly, your friends will be better for knowing YOU.

Christianity purports something none else does. It purports that God wrapped himself in human flesh, lived a sinless life, suffered bled and died on a Cross, was buried and rose again on the third day according to Scripture. No other religion in the world purports such a thing.
So am I saying that mine is true because it is unique? No! I'm saying based on the historical, scientific and physical facts presented about Jesus Christ and His claims, and the Uniqueness of the Word of God to support these claims, and my personal experience through these claims, "By Faith still", I believe that I have found the way, the truth and the life.
Thanks for the opportunity to share my faith, and the 2 points as well.

You can't. That's what faith is for. My question to you would be how can we know that ALL religions are not the right one for the person who has chosen? Maybe what is true for each individual is the best choice. If Christians believe that accepting Christ will get them into to heaven then it will, if Buddhists think that they will be reincarnated then they will and so on. Acceptance, tolerance, kindness and peace are the most important beliefs throughout the world.

All religions are good one. There is no question who is the best and right. The religion is totally based on our faith

Every religion talks about salvation. Hence they are but different paths to the same goal of salvation. According to the needs of the time of its beginning and local needs, religious scriptures talk about certain codes.
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, the master to Swami Vivekananda preached this and also said he has tried all methods and convinced about the above fact. It is we who could not shed the inhibitions and harp on, "my religion is the best" and wasting our time. Instead follow the path shown to you and be true to that and be good to respect other paths.

Whatever religion works best for the individual is the right one for them. I don't believe there is one right religion.

Usually people follow the religion they can experience. For example, a US person will probably become Christian, while an Israeli becomes a Jew. If they find other religion more convincing, they may switch, but it's not likely.

Because my religion is an applied religious philosophy that you actively do, not something that you simply have blind faith in. My religion has taught me many practical ways to improve myself and live a fuller, happier life. In my religion what's true is what you have obesrved to be true.
