Humans invent Gods in their own images.
Men and women who want to pretend to be Gods invent religions for people who lack the imagination to invent their own Gods.
But, people will only follow a religion with whose God they agree. And, that's why so many religions are invented.

Let's see....
Largest religion: Christianity - over 2 billion
Best selling book every year since the invention of the printing press - the Bible
Only ancient religious text used by archaeologists as reliable and factual - the Bible
Only religion to have a document evidence of a dozen eyewitnesses die for not taking back their claim of a miracle (the resurrection) - Christianity
Most recorded event in ancient history - Christ's resurrection
Most copied document of ancient history - Old Testament
Most accurate, oldest (closest to date of original writing) manuscripts of ancient documents - Old Testament
You can verify yourself, the Iliad is the next in line for reliable ancient documents, and it is amazing that we have 10 ancient biblical manuscripts for every 1 ancient copy of the Iliad.
When God wants to make his voice heard, he does, but in his own way.

To say that "christianity is the true religion and that the rest are false cause the bible..." you are saying that Jesus followed the wrong religion.
And Jesus was NOT Christian.....I have been told too many times that people believed that Jesus believed in Christianity.
As for the Bible, whose to say it's real? I mean, were you there when it was written? How do you know someone didn't just make it up a long time ago?

Religion is a practice that leads to one source of power...GOD!
Fiction is believing that the universe was created by chance and the elements just happened to be there billions and billions of years ago.YAWN!!!

Fact to those who have faith in that religion. Fiction to the rest of us.
Some of it is fact. The Jews fled, Gotama was a monk, Jesus died, no one remembers Zoroaster, and the Muslims are new.
The rest my friend is up to you.

Fictious Fact. Confused?? God/heaven/hell, all was taught to us just to have some sort of descipline in our life. Atleast for the sake of going to heaven or avoiding hell ppl will not do too many wrong things.Only if we do good thing God will bless us................ So it is a fact that we need to have some discipline in the span of life for which it is fictiously formulated in the name of relegion.
