Any religion that tells you to think for your self rather than what you should be thinking would get my vote.

The closest thing to this that I have ever seen is the course in miracles and it's not really a religion.

No it doesn't matter. Because if you look at all the different religions out there with so many different beliefs, there is no way ONE of them is right and the other ninety-nine percent are wrong. Anyone that says their religion is the best and is the right one, well they are just to closed minded to accept that everyone is different and not everyone is going to believe the same thing you do.

I am a Christian and I personally belive its right. I used to be an atheist and I know how they think, always needing proof and stuff. any ways I went to church one day and it slowly struck me what was right. even though I didn't want to belive the evidence in the church was so real and passionate that i couldn't pass it up. I don't know what it was but now I am a Jesus Freak. I don't care who knows it. Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead. and is living. he does great miricles and wonders. don't belive me watch an episode of Benni Hinn and see how many people get healed. Prayer is deep and it can heal people. people use drugs and wemon to try and fill a hole that is in their heart and they don't ever fill that missing part until they meet Jesus. We live by Faith and not by Sight.

I think the only 'right' religion is the one that is good for you. People should do whatever makes them happy. If that means being a Pagan for you, be a Pagan. If that means being a Christian be a Christian. If being happy for you means no religion at all, be an Atheist.

Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.

Yes. now, i may be called a 'fundie' or whatever for believing this, but Christianity is the only true religion. Jesus said "I am THE way, THE truth, and THE light. No one can come to the Father excpet thru me." he didnt claim to be A way out of many, but THE way, the only way, to hav salvation. It just is. There's a book called The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel, and it was written by an athiest who set out to prove to his wife that Christianity wasa bunch of bull. Unstead, this book overwhelmingly supports (with factual historical documents) how christianity was a completely valid, and the only tru religion.
i hope this helped!

There may indeed be a RIGHT religion, but I'm not all that aware of a WRITE religion. Perhaps they do all of their prayers and sermons via text.

Not at all. I don't consider myslef right all the time, but more logical in the sense that we don't believe in the Great Invisible Persian Rug to fly us around to a gigantic castle-pyramid with liquid elephants and howling Danish cookies.

Through the study of Scripture and the Church Fathers, we see that, not only is the Catholic faith biblical, Catholicism is Bible Christianity par excellence.

Because the Old and New Testament Scriptures are the divinely-revealed, written Word of God, Catholics venerate the Scriptures as they venerate the Lord's body. But Catholics do not believe that God has given us His divine Revelation in Christ exclusively through Scripture. Catholics also believe that God's Revelation comes to us through the Apostolic Tradition and teaching authority of the Church.

What Church? Scripture reveals this Church to be the one Jesus Christ built upon the rock of Saint Peter (Matt. 16:18). By giving Peter the keys of authority (Matt. 16:19), Jesus appointed Peter as the chief steward over His earthly kingdom (cf. Isaiah. 22:19-22). Jesus also charged Peter to be the source of strength for the rest of the apostles (Luke 22:32) and the earthly shepherd of Jesus' flock (John 21:15-17). Jesus further gave Peter, and the apostles and elders in union with him, the power to bind and loose in heaven what they bound and loosed on earth. (Matt. 16:19; 18:18). This teaching authority did not die with Peter and the apostles, but was transferred to future bishops through the laying on of hands (e.g., Acts 1:20; 6:6; 13:3; 8:18; 9:17; 1 Tim. 4:14; 5:22; 2 Tim. 1:6).

By virtue of this divinely-appointed authority, the Catholic Church determined the canon of Scripture (what books belong in the Bible) at the end of the fourth century. We therefore believe in the Scriptures on the authority of the Catholic Church. After all, nothing in Scripture tells us what Scriptures are inspired, what books belong in the Bible, or that Scripture is the final authority on questions concerning the Christian faith. Instead, the Bible says that the Church, not the Scriptures, is the pinnacle and foundation of the truth (1 Tim. 3:15) and the final arbiter on questions of the Christian faith (Matt. 18:17). It is through the teaching authority and Apostolic Tradition (2 Thess. 2:15; 3:6; 1 Cor. 11:2) of this Church, who is guided by the Holy Spirit (John 14:16,26; 16:13), that we know of the divine inspiration of the Scriptures, and the manifold wisdom of God. (cf. Ephesians 3:10).

Nope, there sure isn't. Right and wrong are highly subjective. What is right for me could very well be wrong for you. What makes my religion, Asatru, so reliable and right for me is pretty simple. I am a Swedish/German hybrid. It makes more sense for me culturally to worship the Gods and Goddesses of my ancestors rather than a Middle Eastern god. These are words, concepts and images I can easily understand because they are part of the Germanic culture. (Germanic meaning any of the original Germanic tribes such as Scandinavians, Germans of course, Visigoth, etc)

I do not bow down to or play servant for my Gods and Goddesses and it is not expected. That also appeals to me. I learn from them, gratefully, but am not to bow or scrape before them. I am supposed to be PROUD of who I am and my accomplishments.

We are not given a lot of strange rules like 'don't eat that' or 'bury your crap' or 'sell your daughter to her rapist' or 'stone misbehaving children to death at the city gates'. We have general guidance in the form of the Nine Noble Virtues. Honor, Hospitality, Courage, Truth, Fidelity, Discipline, Industriousness, Self-Reliance and Perseverence. Our Gods and Goddesses have just as much faith in us as we do in them, hence the lack of hard and fast 'rules'. I like that my Gods and Goddesses consider me smart enough to figure these things out on my own.

My Gods and Goddesses are not vindictive. There is no threat of eternal torment in our faith. Oathbreakers are right up there with murderers to us and our dieties are held to the same standards we are, so they always keep their promises.

There are so many things that make my faith right for me, but would horrify some people in other belief systems just as I am horrified by theirs at times. But one of the most basic attitudes in my faith that makes it perfect for me is "You worship your Gods how you want and I'll stick to mine, thanks." That level of tolerance simply isn't found very often in the Middle Eastern religions. My ancestors were fierce and they were determined, but they never attacked someone because of their religion. I am very proud of that!
