What religion are you and why?

Question

you gotta say something good about yours, and something bad about the others.

Answer 1

i am a christian because i believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins. i just want to say that for all of the other religions, their "god" didn't become alive again. the only true God was able to rise from the dead from forgiving our sins.

Answer 2

To make things clear I'll start defining what is it. In my experience religion is a guide that tries to answer the following questions that human beings always have through existance:

1. Why am I here?
2. How did I come here?
3. What is good?
4. What is bad?
5. Who brought me here?
6. What should I do?
7. Where am I going next?

Now, I have seen, Budhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Christianism and many other religions. All of them, no matter if they are politheistic or monotheistic they all point to a supreme being that rules everything.

I personally do not practice nor am active on any religion. However, when it comes to the mythology I will pick Christianity as none of the other religious leaders have resurrected by themselves.

Answer 3

I don't believe any of them.and I'm disgusted with our present day God concept. Why? The non-stop violence (over 100 million killed in the name of God), the financial greed, the brushing off of over 100 years of child molestation (God called pedophiles to the priesthood and never intervened while they were ruining the lives of so many children). 9/11 was the result of religion ,Jihad). We all heard the cockpit voice recordings of the hijackers who said, "We're doing this for God" and God who never came down and said, "Oh no you're not". Just be a good person because it's the right thing to do, not because you have to be bribed into righteousness , "Be a good person and you'll get a reward after you're dead, now give us money." I think that God is a coward. Constantly showing up for Biblical people and now when he is really needed, he stays in hiding. I'm not going to go into tha fact that we have proof that dinosaurs existed but, no proof that there is a man living in a cloud. I have no problem in not believing any one of them.

Answer 4

my religion = islam. islam means peace. it also means submission. critics of islam interpreted submission as something bad (subjugation) or submitting like an automaton, this is not necessarily the case. in islam, it is a known perception that man are created in "fitrah" state i.e. they have the tendency to obey for all that is good, this is because God had given each human a noble spirit 38:72. This spirit is what gives humans awareness/conscience . They cannot but submit to such Word "inside" them, as the Word is in itself self-existing. WIthout such submission, there is no self-peace. For example, when one deeply look inside themselves and (faithfully) exert life "poof out of nothing" or the "universe have existed as a result of God;s creation"- there is a tremendous difference when subscribing any one of such contrasting statements -- within the self --- humans (intelligence, conscience) inherently know the most improbable answer, as the Qur'an emphasized:

51:20-23 On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith, as also in your own selves: Will ye not then see? And in heaven is your Sustenance, as (also) that which ye are promised.
Then, by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very Truth, as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other.

it is without the admission/submission to such Word that would make man against his own nature (fitrah) and thereby causing them not to achieve self-peace, for such is the reality that no soul can deny however much they want to resist

Islam acknowledges the existance of many Prophets/Messengers. Due to changes in God's word (brought by the Messengers), there have been "innovation" of religions.

God also said that Muhammad is the sent down as a Mercy to All Mankind, because through Muhammad (PBUH), the Qur'an was sent down with God's final decree.

[48:14] To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills: but God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Critic stated that Muslim God must be 'crazy' because (superficially) such verse sounds tyrannous. But the verse also has its own hidden connotation : God's total sovereignity, i.e surely God can punish whomever has violated his rules, but He Forgives more and He Forgives whomever He will. This is an occasion where Islam is differerent from eg Christianity, where God is taken as the sole forgiver and He does not neeed to spend anything to do that, and he Forgives whomever He wills if He wishes to do so.

Answer 5

Islam. Because I choose to.

Simple religion, equality of the human race, peaceful and makes a lot of sense.

Something bad about others? You're a little devil aren't you? For starters, difficult and pagan belief system, trinity (3-in-1, 1-in-3), blood redemption, crucifixtion, original sin, historical and scientifically inaccurate, women are mistreated and given equal rights, etc. etc.

Answer 6

I am not controled by any man invented"religion""doctrin" or "dogma". I am of The One True Church of which Jesus The Christ is The Head... That is my right to claim from The Truth of my Salvation which is a promise from God... on this mortal world I am a member of a small concervative Baptist congrigation.

All who come to God in The Way he proscribes and receive His free gift of Salvation may make the same claim as I to a place in Heaven.... those who have not come to God as He proscribes will be eternaly seperated from God... if... they do not find The Way to Him before their last councious mortal breath...

Answer 7

Born again, buy the spirit of the Living God
Follower of Christ Jesus, and I live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, because it will not come back to him void, or empty, but will accomplish that thing that he said it would
God is not a religion but a living being, that lives inside my very being
I am a child of the Most High God
He lives inside of me, Jesus has made his dwelling place inside of me
The Holy Spirit of the Living God leads, directs, teaches and empowers me, shows me all things. Little things, high things,
deliverers me from evil, and shines his light on my pathway, so I don't stumble or fall into false teachings and doctines of devils.

Answer 8

As some say: Religion is confusion...

Why?... Because there are so many and they all think they got it right.....

Me?... I am not religious because I don't believe there is any other way to surpass death to life than in believing in Christ Jesus......

That makes me a Christian...... I follow this word of Christ.....

Everything that I have learned from Scripture, not religion, has taught me much.... and I believe what I have learned.....

Answer 9

I guess I would say that I am a Secular Humanist. As far as saying something good and bad goes, it is good because it feels right for me and others are bad because there is always something I disagree with it on. So what about you?

Answer 10

Islam, a Muslim.

because it's the real religion from God, Allah.
the source, Quran is the only document that still remains original, unlike the orther 3 (bible (Injil), ... i don't know english name, but arabic is Taurat and Zabur) that also from God, that edited by those who have some interest on that. Islam still accept those who follow the actual Taurat, Zabur and Injil (Ahli Kitab).

Terrorist is a propaganda made by Jews. You can see the truth as in movie "Kingdom Of Heaven".

Answer 11

I'm agnostic. I want to believe there is a greater being out there. I don't believe in the man-made rules of christianity or any other religion. Until that presence speaks to me and makes itself known to me, I prefer not to guess which religion is "right" and who's going to hell or whatever.
