Okay, so I've been looking and listening to Jerry Springer nature of this section and have come to the conclusion that all of the religious people here are totally brainwashed. I thought the whole basis of religion was to be unified in one belief, one god. Please explain how you all could believe in god but all don't believe the same things.

If you were expecting all of us to be unified in our beliefs, you were expecting us to be brainwashed! Obviously, if we're learning and growing, each day we individually understand things a little differently than the day before. That's why true religion is the ultimate freedom: The Christian God actually died to make sure that people have a chance to keep on making choices. That's why I love Him! I can Choose to smoke, fornicate, etc. but I don't Have to, as so many of my nonChristian friends with habits do.

Let me get this straight ~ because of the Jerry Springer nature of this group, you are going to bash all the religious people.
The non religious are always sweet and loving?
Methinks you came in with you mind set.

Not all religions are acceptable to God?
Judg. 10:6, 7: “The sons of Israel again proceeded to do what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, and they began to serve the Baals and the Ashtoreth images and the gods of Syria and the gods of Sidon and the gods of Moab and the gods of the sons of Ammon and the gods of the Philistines. So they left Jehovah and did not serve him. At this Jehovah’s anger blazed against Israel.”
(If a person worships any thing or any person other than the true God, the Creator of heaven and earth, it is evident that his form of worship is not acceptable to Jehovah.)
Mark 7:6, 7: “He [Jesus] said to them [the Jewish Pharisees and scribes]: ‘Isaiah aptly prophesied about you hypocrites, as it is written, “This people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far removed from me. It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach as doctrines commands of men.”’”
(Regardless of whom a group profess to worship, if they hold to doctrines of men instead of the inspired Word of God, their worship is in vain.)
Rom. 10:2, 3: “I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God; but not according to accurate knowledge; for, because of not knowing the righteousness of God but seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.”
(People may have God’s written Word but lack accurate knowledge of what it contains, because they have not been taught properly. They may feel that they are zealous for God, but they may not be doing what he requires. Their worship is not going to please God, is it?)
Well said Head nurse!
