everything is VALID, i respect other people and their beliefs, what i don't like are the fanatics and zealots (from any faith) who are so intolerant, full of hatred and do not practise the moral codes as laid down in their (various) bibles!!

Ephesians 4:5 Talks about there being one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. There is only one way to worship God...His way.
We are to be given a gift. This gift can't be bought or demanded. It is the gift of everlasting life. The gift is undeserved in that we are all sinners.
In the same chapter He talks about the body of Christ or the congregation. You have to find out what group God approves and become part of that group.
It used to be the Jews but they killed His son. So He turned His attention to the gentile nations opening the way for all mankind to serve Him.
He took out a people for his name. His name is Jehovah. Acts 15:14
Psalms 83:18 says that Jehovah is the most high over all the earth.
Jesus came to earth from heaven to teach us what his father required of us.
Matthew 6:9 starts telling what we should pray for. And the Kingdom stands out as being very important.
Jesus was to be the Messianic King of this kingdom.
If your religion doesn't teach these basic things you need to change to the religion that will help you get everlasting life.
So to answer your question....you may have been taught to believe the way you do but you should run to God and want to worship him the way he commands. Sentimentality has no place in pure worship.

If a religion is teaching flasehoods, is it valid?
I believe the only valid religion is the one that speaks the truth about God and I believe that to be Jesus Christ.

Sure. But personal validity isn't going to make a bit of difference 100 years from now. Only objective reality will matter to you by then, Don't you owe it to yourself to find out what that is before it's too late?

Yes, any religion one holds is valid to one. Which is why I disbelieve in having a religion, or worse, to believe in a god.

Absolutely.

Every other religion, when you look at it closely, you will find that people have to work their way into their "heaven". In Ephesians 2:8-9, you read that you can't work your way into heaven, and that any attempt to be "good enough" is failure. So in order that we can't say "we did it on our own," God says "you have to have Me."

If you're saying that I really don't give a rat's *** about what you believe, you are right!!
But you really shouldn't continually spew anti-religion rhetoric here, then claim someone has done it to you. It's stupid.
