All religion has changed with time. You go back in time and you find that at one time the major religion that dominated western culture believed that only a select few could get into heaven. This philosophy was not liked by the people. As the religion lost it's popularity the philosophy changed and heaven got bigger to all those who accepted Jesus could get into heaven. As society has changed it has shaped religion.
No one will ever be able to prove God exists, but religion is definitely an invention of man and wether God is playing a role in it's function is up to debate.

Man has an inner need to look up to some deity that is above him/her. That is why you will find all forms of religion hinged on a supernatural being or a god-figure somewhere. Foe religion to be religion, there needs to be this in place and that man identifies his/her needs to this being. The Christians believe in God that created all things, the Muslims too, the Jews believe in Yahweh, the Buddhists - Buddha etc. In all the circumstances there is an inner urge to worship the being and beliefs get centered on this being. In short, yes, religion is all a matter of what you believe in and worship.

It is very simple.
We tend to think that God is human, it is a he or a she.
How degrading! God is beyond the confines of matter, God is not human, humans are but a spec in the universe! God is energy -the energy which keeps you and me alive, the sun rotating and the stars shining.
When you meditate with all your heart, you get in touch with this God. You realise that you are part of this wonder. People who reach this point, are capable of creating miracles, which makes people think that they are God.
This is how all religions started. Now such men tried to preach people things, but they were all interpretted according to the intelligence of the followers, and eventually distorted and forced upon people. That is why religions are not pure any more.
Meditate and get in touch with God. Follow your own religion, why bother following something someone claimed that an enlightened person said, thousands of years ago!

Religion comes from people. Salvation comes from God.

Religion comes from people. If it truely came from "god" why are there so many versions and why would "god" want his creatures fighting over something they think he gave them.

The word religion means belief, even the devil believes and trembles James 2:19, its NOT enough to belief, "IF" you love me keep my commandments, a belief that does not result in action is useless, we live in a world that everyone dies in, there is ONE WAY OUT, that is the second member of The Godhead Jesus Christ, any belief that does not result in keeping our FIRST attention and best energy upon that exit is useless, find out more free bible lessons www.ititswritten.com bible questions www.bibleinfo.com think of the Bible in this way, the letters of the bible itself Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth bible. talk to me also wgr88@yahoo.com
