Sorry **man made**

I totally agree with you.
It's hard enough to prove God's existence, let alone prove that Jesus is/was the son of God, to prove that all those thousands of years ago a prophet came from here and a prophet came from there, and one said this and another said that...
And even if one managed to prove that the prophets and doctrines and records that were made all that time ago were true and correct and the Word of God... Well, then you'd have the further problem of deciding whether organised religions as they are today are actually valid.
Do you think the Catholic Church or Islam works the way the prophets and gospels recommended when they started thousands of years ago?
There is too much to prove, too much to validate, too many rules to follow and too many different variations... All based on God - and we cannot even be sure of His existence! That is why I am not religious.
I have too little time on this planet, and I am too uncertain of what is "beyond" to indulge in such a practice as a religion - when religion is something which requires so much time and energy, and something which provides false hope and preaches uncertainties.

Proving God exists does not validate any one religion. Proving the existence of God only proves God's existence. Every religion agrees there's a God as the creator and manager of the universe, in varying degrees. This God can be called Allah, Shiva, Jesus, Goddess, God and Infinite Intelligence.
Proving a religion true, however, is harder than proving the existence of God. To prove a religion true, one must prove that the doctrines and dogmas are true ABSOLUTELY; that means people not of the religion agree that the other religion is true, even if they don't follow it.
For a religion to prove itself through forced conversion is a clear indication of falsehood.

that is strictly the place faith turns right into a detriment to technological know-how, while those of religion call for that questions be replied with the help of their faith and that scientific learn could provide up. At that is middle, that is taking income of the logical fallacy of complicated the unexplained with the unexplanable. In different words, it assumes that through fact 40-60% of the universe is lacking that it is not discovered. It gets taken a sprint further and concludes that through fact the 40-60% isn't discovered, that that is "evidence" that their faith (and in basic terms their faith) is a usual certainty. that is unquestionably one of those thinking that held back scientific progression for hence long. think of of the place we would be if medical doctors nevertheless held that sickness is brought about with the help of sin. the conventional lifespan might nevertheless be 30 years, toddler mortality may well be very severe, we would be stricken by many greater minor (and curable) illnesses. Even the fundamentalists take income of scientific progression on some point.

Yes I would. But that in itself does not mean that it is wrong to believe in God or in a religion.
The most important thing to realise while questioning God is that God cannot be "proven" with the scientific method. Can anyone take some "God residue" to the lab?
So if the only satisfactory way to prove things in your eyes is through the scientific method, you are only wasting your time by asking this question.

All religion is man made. And being so is imperfect and flawed. The only truth is Christ Jesus. He is faithful and true. He is dependable.. In short He is the Way and religion is one of the other paths which lead away from God.. Jim

No, because a man made religion cannot supply the works of power found in Christianity.

All religions are man-made... even my own, which is an eclectic form of Paganism. Religion is simply man's attempt to explain something we can't explain nor prove.

My God is the Universe all around us, so it would not be hard to prove.

All religions, in one form or another, are made due to the worship of the devotees.
