If your a christian and notcatholic you didn't read the bible. Matthew 16:17-19. Jesus told peter to make a church. That church was and is currently the Catholic church. In the bible they said that there should be NO DIVISION WITHIN THE CHURCH. That is what Martin Luther did. Martin luther also took out books of the bible and in revelations it was said that you should NOT ADD NOR TAKE AWAY FROM the books of the bible. If you were really a christian then how can you say the catholic church is wrong when Jesus told someone to start a church and your not gonna be apart of it. Your not gonna be a part of it because of what happened in the middle ages. Or you THINK(because we don't) we worship dead people, mary, and angels. Go to a catholic church and talk to REAL CATHOLICS. Not what you read on the net. and of lutherans and muslims (gal1:6-9) let no man talk to you about a different religion or teaching. For if he does then he is condemmed. For even if it was AN ANGEL IN HEAVEN to tell you different then he is condemmed too. I think that sums it up. It is also said that there will be people to come a tell you not to eat certain meats(pork). Don't listen for eveything is holy made by God.

I believe that religion is being soiled by a lot of people in the world. Muslim extremists say convert or die. Christianity basically says the same thing in a much less extreme way. I believe religion is a good thing and there is good in all religions. I just wish people would respect other people's religions and not try to convert theme to the "correct" religion. Religion religion religion religion.

It's twofold. On the one hand, it's a very helpful and useful source for spiritual support. As such, it's very good and it does many people good. But on the other hand, religious institutions are a very important and influential social power. And this power is used by the hierarchies to manipulate societies. So, since spiritual support can be found in many other sources, all in all, I wish religions didn't exist.

Religion is basically a belief system, and that is why there are so many religions. There are many belief systems. But, I am more interested in a relationship with my Heavenly Father God, Jesus my Savior and the Blessed Holy Spirit who is my teacher and guide.
My belief system is based on this relationship.

Most human being doesn't believe in religion because they cannot see, hear, feel gods exist! What they care is only the human lifestyle, high technology, how to built a stronger country and so on.

Nothing wrong with religion. Why should there be something wrong with it? Seems like to some people it's cool to go against it.

Religion is man made God created mankind for a relationship and that is what is important. . Seeking a relationship to understand God's desire for our lives and accomplishing that .

Great question!
Please consider these tidbits:
Jews for Jesus = Vegetarians for Hamburgers
God? He or She?
Church? Christianity? Jesus? Dying?
What is the Imacculate Conception supposed to mean?
Does Imacculate Conception have anything to do with "VIRGIN BIRTH"?
Google Imacculate Conception and learn that is NOT.
What else do you falsely believe?
Jesus, the basis of Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Can Gods die?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?
No Eternal sacrifice, big deal for a day!
If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.
If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!
Life after death is like virginity after childbirth.
If the flesh of Jesus died, what was seen walking and talking on Sunday?
If you believe this stuff, you are not going to like the folks who don't. You want them to believe it too to validate you.
Christians want everyone to convert to their non-thinking in order to be 'saved'.
Believing and not thinking is like choosing to be lost.
P.S.
[Do Christians on Yahoo! answers feel righteous when they report questions they disagree or disapprove of?

i believe being religious is a good thing. we become spiritually closer to whats right and whats true. anyone who says its a bad thing or is made up just doesnt know whats important in life. what, we just happen to be here for absolutely no reason? how stupid.

It is the basis of one's life, everyone is somewhat religious, whether it be believing in God, worshiping hollywood Stars, whatever you pick, there is something that we all believe. I am Roman Catholic, I believe in God.
