I believe religion has become nothing more than an organized, legal, money-making, soul-depriving scam on people who can't deal with the consequences of their own actions.
Real religion is faith, what's inside a person, what their heart truly believes and knows.
My heart believes in nature.

Jesus taught that the kingdom of God is within each and every one of us. This means exactly what Jesus said it meant. It means that the soul that each of us has is also a part of God.
This means that God can not be found on a far off cloud called heaven, or in some building called a church.
We are each already as close as we can get to God. The idea that we need to go to some building to see God removes God from the place that Jesus said he was and separates us from him. This is simply a lie we have been told about God.

I'm a Christian, but I have a problem with the concept of religion. The most ant-religious person who ever lived was Jesus Christ. What religion is, is man's attempt to clothe himself in holiness in order to reconcile himself to God. He sets up church rules and ordinances to follow. These are blocks to God.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating to stay away from church. But what one needs to do is find a good, Bible believing Church that preaches the atoning sacrifice of Christ, rather than one that has all kinds of rules and rituals to follow to get to Heaven. What should be strived for is a personal relationship with Christ, and there are lots of Churches that promote that.

Religion... is man made. Sad to say,but all people think is that if you love God and go to church then your religious. I am a christian. I know where my final destination from here will be. It's with the almighty God and His son Jesus. God just wants a relationship with you. That's why He sent His son Jesus to die on the cross for us. God is not into religion. He is into relationships. He just loves us. Loves everyone! Ask Him into your heart and repent of your sins. You'll feel His presence and His love. And have eternity with Him. Hell is very real! I know that my final destination won't be there...... How about you?

I enjoy reading these reactions that articles like this get from the religious fanatics. You can really get them stirred up.
When all their ranting and raving is over, they all show their true beliefs. Look at their responses, if they do anything but misquote their bible, quran or whatever, they speak of killing, stealing, abusing or mistreating others.
Somewhere I read that "Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you". Sound familiar?
Or how about this one "Thou shall not kill"....
Maybe before any bible thumpin born again christian or moslim or jew or whatever, opens their mouth to speak, they should look deep inside themselves and assure their words will express GOD's will and not their own sick little desires.

I believe in the Bible, pre-destination (that means that God has a plan for everything and that he is in total control), salvation by grace, which means that I believe the only way to go to heaven is to confess your sins and except God as your only Lord and Savior, and I firmly believe that God created the earth and that he has a purpose for everything he made, and most of all, I believe in God.

I believe in God an in acceptance of His son Jesus as my savior. But on here, you run the risk of being accused of being abusive just by inflicting that answer on the non belivers here and evidentually getting your yahoo mail account deactivated over that.
Luke 21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
It happened to me so I know it to be true.

I was born a Catholic. In order to be a Catholic, I have to be a Christian. I do not belong to the religion whom they call themselves Christians, and don't follow Jesus.
I try to fllow Jesus, God, and the Holy Ghost. Also I follow the Bible.

Nothing. Religion is a way to control people, it has worked on masses. But it has not swayed me.
