I'm a practicing Buddhist. I know about Christianity, Islam and Hinduism and I have a respect for them all. But Buddhism is the only teaching that teaches us how to develop our own mind. Yes, it is not a blind belief. Rather, it is a practical teaching about our mind and how it works. All other religions ask you to beg to an external supremo for your benefits. In Buddhism you are taught how to control, tame, concentrate and develop your own mind. Do you know by doing that, you, your self can see the countless number of your past births? Yes, it is possible because all our memories are stored in this mind and with a concentrated mind you can look back and retrieve your memories. Until you sit down, close your eyes and look into your own self, you can't see what is going on inside your mind. Buddhism is the only teaching which guides us towards freedom from all the sufferings by developing our mind and finally ending this vicious cycle of birth and death. So what ever your religion is, why don't you learn this great science of mind and see for your self? It is the greatest finding of the mankind!

Technically I am considered Christian, but religion is something man created to divide into groups of general belief. The groups were also created when certain groups were trying to sort of brainwash people into believing certain things. What I would suggest is thinking about life, and deciding if God has a role in it or not. I would suggest looking at creation of the universe and everything. How was this all gonna get created without something to create it?? Then go from there. The reason I believe in what I believe is because I run into what I believe. I grew up in a home where I was 'detained' so to speak from learning anything about religion. Therefore, I was never brainwashed into believing anything. I came to the conclusion of being Christian on my own. Miracles have happened in my life. You can talk to me at any time if you want to about Christianity. Ask me anything. =)

I'm Hindu. I chose this religion after much soul-searching and studying of many religions and religious scriptures. I love the teachings in the Hindu Scriptures, and the practices are very good for increasing devotion to God.

I am a Christian. Jesus is my King and no one will tell me otherwise. It is very clear that Jesus has come to this earth to save the sons of men. Can you even fathom it? Someone dying for our sinful nature because he loved us so much? He is the reason for Christmas! Every single religion points to little clues that all add up to the birth of Christ. If you want more info: Go to www.dare2share.org and/or www.fca.org
This religion is totally unexclusive- it is priceless... REMBER GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON...
it says in the bible: I am the way and the truth and the light. no one comes to the father except through me."
Christianity is a wonderful role model and has very many excellent life lessons and values. It has been a life changing experience for me.

I have no religion, only my personal experience which is the basis of my beliefs regarding our spiritual nature. To me we are all sprung from a common source and return to that source constantly. We are never apart form god for we are all part of god in a manner like a holograph such that every one of us is in and of ourselves the whole divine being.
We have the capacity for miracles for we are co-creators of the worlds and all of the experiences we share. The infinite nature of creation means that all things are possible, and that everything imaginable exists; what we experience in our many incarnations are just tiny subsets of that infinite possibilty from which we may choose whatever we like.
We have all the knowledge we need in our possession and need only learn how to open the channel within ourselves whererby we may consciously apprehend that knowledge and use it to our mutual advantage to love, nurture, respect and enjoy one another.

i am christian. i am because i have studied many of the various world religions. christianity suits my personality and my beliefs the most accurately at this time (everyone grows and may need to feed their spirits differently as they grow). i do continue to pursue my personal studies of the various world religions, so therefore am open to almost any religion. i encourage others to pursue this knowledge as well, with an open mind you can understand your fellow neighbors and understand cultures and politics around the world by this simple factor.

My religion is Islam. I submit myself to God. I surrender my whole being unto God
God alone, the Lord of Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohamed
the Lord of all the worlds,
the All-Merciful, the Ever Mercy-giving,
the Master of the Day of Judgement.
Him alone I worship, and from him alone I ask for help.
the Lord who guide us on the Straight Path,
The path of whom he has blessed,
not of those who incur him anger,
Nor of those who go astray
I worship , Allah. Blessed is He in whose hands is the Kingdom- who is powerful over everything- who has created death and life, so that He might test us as to which among us is good in conduct
He is God, the One and Unique;
God, the Eternal source and support of everything;
He begets not, and neither is He begotten; and none is His equal.
With Him are the keys of the Unseen. None but He knows them. And He knows what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falls but with His Knowledge, not a grain amid the darkness of the earth, nothing of wet or dry but it is noted in a Manifest Book.
God who created the human, and he knows what he whispers to himself. He is nearer to him than his jugular vein.
