My experience perspectives are as long as God -Jesus is in your heart, and you feel a connection type relationship that's all you need.
Go to any Church you feel like, God is in them all, and Jesus is the true Church.
I see so many Religions claiming that they are the true religion, church.
Truly God works in most all of them, but God don't care about what religion your in, just whats in your heart.
Some perhaps would hate me for saying what I feel is the truth.
What is your perspective on the war like issue??

We the people who accept, love and follow Jesus Christ's teachings are his Church, not the mortar and bricks of an edifice. Here are some scriptures describing that people are the church.
Act 14:27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
Act 15:3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
Act 15:4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and [of] the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
I think that God does care what religion you are. There are denominations and religions who refuse to accept the deity of Christ, then how can they have him in their hearts and be one of his.
No, no one hates or should hate you for sharing your honest opinion. Just give the same respect that you expect, to those of differing opinions.

Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
I Corinthians 1:2
King James Version
This is the True Church which is written in the Bible

Being a non christian religion is an organized effort to understand the question,Who am I? or the real self.This is in fact core of all religions the difference is only in the outer shell due to its origin from different culture.This difference is perceived as the truth and the resultant strife.This has often ended in great conflict in the past and even today the source of all violence and strife is this misplaced of true religion.

The problem is that God has never named the true religion. That's always done by the religions and they always pick themselves. People are not allowed to realize how uninvolved God is with the religions. He has never shown up at any of their services. Perhaps He thinks that they all stink.

First, I do not believe that God is going to throw anyone into hell for choosing the "wrong religion" or the "wrong" denomination.
That being said, I, of course, believe that my church, the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints, is the restored church of JEsus Christ. But, you should not take my word for it, or anyone's word that their church is the true church. You must follow God the way you believe GOD wants you to. Ask Him.

The only Church that contains all God's truth and all his provision for our salvation is the Church he personally founded, empowered, and authorized ... the Catholic Church.
No other church, and no other faith, enjoys all the divine attributes of the Catholic Church.
Having Christ spiritually in your heart does not compare to experiencing him personally, in the flesh, and 2000 years of sacred tradition provides a truly in-depth understanding of the Christian faith.
What you think you "feel" doesn't always correspond with reality.
31,000 different protestant groups all claim to have a lock on the truth, but they all profess varying creeds, so all are patently wrong on many critical issues, yet I bet they all claim to have that warm and fuzzy "feeling" that supposedly comes when you have a personal relationship with Christ.
LDS Church members claim to have the same feeling, yet they worship another, totally different Christ, as do the JW's.
Go figure!

Jesus is the true church and pure religion is this: Taking care of widows and orphans.

There isn't one.
Jesus died a long time ago...and despite the Elvis-like sightings and seeming appearances in the occassional tortilla or cheese sandwich, he's pretty much stayed dead.
There is no evidence for any divine force anywhere, only wishful thinking. The "Holy" books were written and compiled by people, not angels, and have been used as tool of control and conquest ever since.
I don't hate you. I just think you're naive.
