there is one god. one spirit, and one soul in each of us and three hundred religous ways of religion. wonder why, god does nt spell it out, and speak to us, dirrectly., and not put it in just one man, s vision,at one time in history, then another mans vision, and this way and that way, wonder why god wont just come and speak to us dirrectly?I quess he can thru the spirit, if we listen but I am talking about a powerfull voice in the sky speaking to us, something like that. god can do anything he wonts . wonder why it has to be so much contriversy about which religion is best, mine is better then yours, no mine is better then all of yours, and so on.i know christians will say , ow jesus said this, and muslims will say, this man said that, I dont know really, I just wish god would come to me and say , live this way , do this thing, this is the RIGHT way, but with all the religions, it gets kind of all bass ackwards in my mind sometimes, I have faith in god, is that enough, ?

If you take all the world's religions and put them together, you'll find that there's a group of ideas, and even documented experiences that's present in just about every one of them. Ken Wilber spent about 30 years studying this stuff and has become probably the most respected philosopher alive. But like all people in high places (especially while they're still alive), he has his critics. Through his "integral" framework, he's been able to marry ideas and perspectives that were previously thought to contradict each other.
I couldn't even begin to explain it, but a site called Integral Naked which is without a doubt the best thing I've ever found. Ken Wilber is one of the founders of Integral Institute which runs this site. You'll probably see some people you recognize there as well. They've brought together leaders in just about every field - not just religion. It's a collection of audio and video clips of these people in gatherings, over the phone, etc. I think there's something in there for everybody. You can search for specific topics, but I would check out the trailer ("What is Integral") on the home page and then browse around.
Here's the url:

I think having faith in God is enough.
Several people can read the same scripture and get different meanings from it. And of course all scripture was translated from ancient languages. Do we actually care whether the book of Daniel started in 604 BC or much earlier? It doesn't really matter. The message is what matters.
Faith that God loves you and will give you eternal life is more than enough. It is enough for God. Isn't that all that matters?

Religion is of man and Christianity is from God. God does speak to us directly we just don't hear Him in a loud voice. His is a quiet still voice that comes from within our hearts. We are to believe by faith and that is why God does not come upon us with a loud voice. If He did there would be no reason for faith. God is love and is only a prayer away.

There is nothing in this world which is not good... there is no point of view that is not right.
