Question

What makes you sure that you are in the right religion?

Answer 1

I am a Terran and not one of the unidentified Cylons.
The Skeptical Christian
Grace and Peace
PEG

Answer 2

I am studying Islam. I find the answers I have been looking for in the Qur'an. I would never say any religion is the "right religion." Everyone has different needs and beliefs so I don't think there is truly any one "right religion." For me, Islam is proving to be what I have been needing and seeking for a long time.

Answer 3

Honey, haven't you heard the news, on T.V. there is no such thing as organized religion. The church has now, just now, made a unholy merge with the federal and state governments. There is only Hypocrisy and bad secrets which almost completely covers the simple but "profound truth". The {rabbit} which is controled by the flesh, is winning the race so far.

Answer 4

My religion is Islam and im proud of that, because Islam has answers to everything in life and in a peaceful right way, but some people think that muslims are terrorists all though thats wrong because islam means peace and our holy book "the quran" tells us not to kill any innocent person or animal on this planet.

Answer 5

I don't really have a religion anymore, I grew up protestant, converted to catholic,.....both times I thought my religious sect was right for a bunch of reasons. However, Now I consider myself a Diest. No doctrine, no saviour, no intervention or punishment because of what I did. Just that God created the universe and everything in it and set it in motion. The rest is up to us. The reason I believe this is due to disagreements with christianity and the science of astronomy. I don't claim to be right, I don't claim to be wrong. I just believe it to be that way.

Answer 6

I am one of Jehovah's witnesses and I am sure it is the right religion because they teach the Bible and not the doctrines and traditions of man. Also, they teach Jehovah's name...

Ezekiel 38:23; "And I shall certainly magnify myself and sanctify myself and make myself known before the eyes of many nations; and they will have to know that I am Jehovah.’

Answer 7

I belong to Imaginary Society.
We converted two years ago, and everything has been spontaneous, or at least very pleasant; and we try to be on good terms with everyone.
We get along well with the real world, and our two great principles are illusion and desire.

They have imaginary temples in Salt Lake City, Atlanta, Montreal, Novosibirsk and another place I forget.

They never try to convert you. Plus, it is the only religion where you can keep your old one, and have dual-religionality.

Answer 8

I go to a Evangelical Free Church, I believe in God the Father, and Jesus Christ. It is not the religion that gets you to heaven it is the relationship.... No religion is right or wrong, but you have to have a relationship with Jesus Christ to get into heaven....
John 3:16-21
16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
NIV

Answer 9

Pagan, with strong Wiccan influence... for pretty much the same reason as Lökásennä. It's the right religion for me, I don't know (nor does it matter to me) if it's the right religion for anyone else.

Answer 10

Islam

The original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses and Jesus ) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values


However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.


The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the "Torah" which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.


This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.


There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an. However, in the case of the Bible, even the most ancient manuscripts conflict with one another so that no two are identical. Footnotes in all modern versions of the Bible prove this fact.


These revisions serve as concrete proofs that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect



It was only natural for Almighty God to preserve the scripture revealed to Prophet Muhammad, because he was the last Prophet and Final Messenger of God.


Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.in Islam there are no priests or clergy -- each worshipper, man or woman, has a direct relationship with their Merciful Creator -- Almighty God. Since God is the Owner and Sustainer of everything, as well as the only one who can provide true and complete forgiveness, it is completely futile to try to approach Him through anyone else.


The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; the Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all, but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.


As the Qur'an is the final revelation and Muhammad is the final prophet, humanity is obligated to accept it: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost all spiritual good" (3:86).


The Final Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is messenger of God, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven."


you can do that now as you are reading these lines is to pronounce the two confirmations and attestations of faith, here it is




I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH ( ARABIC WORD MEANS ONE GOD-THE CREATOR). AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER.



The right picture of lslam is conveyed in the Qur'an, which is exemplified by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The reality is that it is not fair to judge a religion by the actions of its followers alone because there are good and bad followers in every religion. The correct thing to do is to judge a religion by its documented revelation from God and the prophet who brought that revelation.

I encourage Christians and other religions to learn about Islam from Muslim sources and The Basis Of The Muslim Belief and not rely on second hand information which in many cases is distorted or contains a deep seated anti Muslim agenda. This is indeed a more scholarly approach

Answer 11

I practice Buddhism. It gives me a good perspective on reality and reminds me to act compassionately and with kindheartedness in all things. It also allows me to question everything I'm taught, put it into real practice (that's why I always say I 'practice' buddhism) and see if it actually works. I don't consider it a religion as we don't worship God.
