I believe in the kindness, the God have different names and is the same God than the other monotheist religions. I follow leaders known by their kindness. Ex: Jesus, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Mahatma Gandhi and Buddha. Now you can see that my leaders have different religions. I read the New Testament and the Teachings of Buddha. I'm asking this question because I dont know what to answer. I only believe in kindness and i think that the religion is the opiate of the masses. For me, the books Genesis and Apocalypsis should be taken literally, they are mistic.
Note: I believe in God
So what religion fit me best?

The answer is complex. They all fit you in some ways and none of them fit you in others. You must wear these dogmas with the same carefree confidence of your favorite t-shirt.

Hi,
Maybe you are just who you are- there is no hard and fast law that you have to have a particular 'label' to validate your belief in God and spiritual stuff. Maybe you just have some great beliefs that are really beautiful to you that don't particular conform to any religion. (Unfortunately I think 'religion' as an institution sidelines and eclipses "spirituality' or "faith" or whatever you call it- for some people).
Having said that, have you ever heard of the Baha'i faith? I've been a Baha'i for a couple of years and it was a great revelation for me. All my life I had believed that maybe all the religions were right- maybe Jesus and Buddha and Krishna and Muhammed were all sent from the one God. I never knew this was the basis of a religion- Baha'i. I was stoked when I found out. The latest "messenger" from God was an Iranian called Bah'au'llah, who said humanity is reaching a mature time when unity and peace will be a focus. There is no priesthood as spiritual education is a personal responsibility and choice, and is very community based. It's really beautiful, email if you'd like some more info.
Anyway, Good luck in your search.
Power to the Peaceful,
Sammi :)

Church of the poison mind.
Seriously, you already gave the answer. You believe in SOME aspects and SOME writings but you don't believe in ANY established religion as you've fallen for the communist trick of starting from the premise all religion is somehow bad.
If it makes you a better person, if it makes the world a better place, how is it religion is bad? I missed that part. And don't go giving me the crusades, etc. That was not religion. That was evil people abusing religion for their own purposes.

I am so glad you believe in God, but multi faith is not advisable.
Do not misselect the Man-made religion (Those self-declared
human god) Our lives were created by God and so is Buddha,
Mahatma Gandhi and so on, it is very unfortunate to believe in their man-made religions because they are human beings just like you and me. Knowing our purpose of life on earth, we should repay God for his mercy and kindness that had given life and soul to us, without his creation , we don't even exist. No other religion is true except God's religion. Study them first,
the choice is in your own hand.

To be honest. I don't believe you to be sincere, or true. But, I could be wrong. In which case I say don't ask anyone but God for your answers. If you are sincere he will know. (he knows you better than you do) he will let himself be known in a way that you will not be able to dispute or deny. He will show you what is true and false.
Now I will tell you flat out, Jesus is the only way. But don't believe me. Check it out for your self. Why seek anywhere but God for your answers?
It is actually real simple. Look around you. you will know the tree by the fruit that it bears.

just be a good human and believe in humanism as no religion can make a person a good human being if he doesn't wants to! right?
believe in truth, believe in yourself and that's the way you are "best"
why to ask for religion

religion is the opiate of the masses, Karl Marx.
You follow the religion that EVERYONE should follow, the religion of humanity.
Read up on existentialism as a philosophy, I think you would like what it has to say

You might want to check out the Bahai religion. It tries to assimulate many other faiths. A kind of syncretic faith, it seems to try to take the best of the others.
but I believe you are on your road to atheism, eventually, by the path of the agnostics.

Baha'is believe in:
-the oneness of God (There is only one true God)
-the oneness of religion (All major religions have been given to humanity by the one true God).
-the oneness of mankind (All human beings are children of God, therefore we are all one human family.)
-the equality of men and women.
-in compulsory education for all children.
-in the elimination of all prejudices;
-in the establishment of an auxilliary world language.
-in the establishment of a global weights and measure system.
and more. Go to www.bahai.org if any of this sounds interesting to you.
