It would be impossible to agree with God and Allah as they are not in any way the same God.. It is imperative to know God for yourself and this would reveal the truth to you. It seems impossible to me that you believe in a God and that you do not know one from the other.

Religion is not human intervention, nor is it a static thing. Nor is it a defined and limited theological canon.
Baha'u'llah taught that religion is a process, not a single event. All the "religions" in the world are actually stages in the unfoldment of this process and are not in themselves separate religions. They are all part of what Baha'u'llah calls the "changeless Faith of God, eternal in the past, eternal in the future". These "religions" differ only in their external ordinances, but the inner truth each carries is the same, though progressively revealed. Each brings a greater measure of that truth and external ordinances which are in conformity with the time and age in which we live.
Religious institutions are not necessarily human interventions either, if they are properly authorized. Baha'u'llah Himself created the Baha'i Administrative Order, so it is a divine thing, not a human thing.

I am a born again Christian and I don't belong to a religion. In fact most religions and churches always seem to have all these "extras" which we are not required to do according to the Holy Bible (KJV) 1611. I go to a Bible study group with family and friends which is held at the home of one of us. We also have our own worship that we do. I also pray alone most of the time because this is what God wants. He wants a personal relationship with you and does not care what church or religion you belong to.

Dude, bad question, and here's why. You're asking what you should believe, and every answer you get is going to be that person's belief. Really, nobody knows for sure.
Do what I do. Follow what you feel in your heart feels right, and trust that God knows you well enough to understand your good intentions, and to understand your confusion on what to believe. If God is who I think he is, you will not burn for rejecting religion. But remember, that's just my belief!

I appreciate, provided you venture to find some body who has seen God.
You can not find God without the guidance of a true saint, as God is beyond our intellectual comprehension.
But I like the spirit in which you are rejecting all the religions.

And can you deal with humans sentencing you ? No one can say if you will be going to hell or not. You believe in God. So God only knows.

My theory on religion is as follows:
Everyone was sitting around the table one day, God, Buddha, Allah etc. It was breakfast time, they were talking and came to the conclusion that one person (being) could not watch over the whole world. So they divided it in sections. And decided to meet at dinner to talk over the results. Dinner hasn't arrived yet.
Just a theory.

You hit the nail on the head: Religion is a human invention.
It is designed (and refined over thousands of years) to control people. You are told that whatever deity you believe in wants you to live in a certain way.
Fortunately for whoever is telling you this, the deity never decents from heaven to explain his divine will in person.
Basically, you're being told what to do and what to think, by people who claim to speak in his name.
There is no reason why you can't speak in his name to yourself. You know right from wrong, you need no religion to tell you that.

well i have to say ya coz u dun follow what God commands.
Quran says Chapter 5 verse 4 line 24:29" This day I have perfected your religion.For you, completed My favour upon you And have chosen Islam as your religion".
Also, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)'s uncle believe in God and at his deathbed, his nephew beg him to say his shahadah ( There is no God but God and Muhammad is his messenger) so that on Judgement Day Muhammad(PBUH) could testify for his uncle Abu Talib that he is a muslim and die as a muslim but Abu talib refused and he died as a kufr. Muhammad(PBUH) was depressed and God sent down a revelation in summary: God guides whom He will and whom He wills not.
So you can love and believe in God but if u never show it then u are just one of the admirers but not the followers of God such was Abu Talib.
