I do not believe in any religion. I believe in my personal understanding of the Mysteries instead. That's called spirituality. Perhaps you are being invited to explore the spiritual aspects of your Hinduism. That is, to explore your personal understanding of that belief system, to go beyond the group agreement of what that system "means" to find your own understanding of it. Especially since you state yourself you don't know much about it.

I am a Muslim, and I am spiritually connected within it. I am not religious, and there is a difference. I personally feel that the role of religion in life is to provide a framework for us to all live by. In many ways, religion was the first set of laws that all humans had to follow. Needless to say, over the centuries, many have translated things to their own ideologies and much of the original message has been lost.
Live, love, learn, and leave a legacy. Be the bes and most just human you can be. I do not have all the answers, as I too am in search. So far, I am on the right track.
BTW, I always say that we are all looking thru different telescopes, all pointed in the same direction. In the end, we will have all been looking at the same thing, and hopefully we all were right!!! ...and then there will be huge overcrowding in heaven!!!!

Submission to the ONE is my Religion and it is ALL explained very well in the Quran, which confirms the Torah and the Bible and is protected till the Day of resurrection.
Why do I believe strongly?? I have read the Quran around 30-35 times and have found the truth of this life and the hereafter and in the process rejected all that I was taught by these so called "Muslims" who are taught everything wrong, they start with the wrong belief and thus end with the wrong belief.
They have a Book in their hands that is Power, and they don't even realize it .... sorry as it may sound. You will not find a single Arabic text of the Quran different than another. It is under the protection of God and no one can change it.
I challenge anyone in this world to produce a contradictory version of the Quran in Arabic. He, who doubts it, can try and change a copy of the Quran and lets see what happens to that Quran and to that person.

i would say if i had to pick a religion i would be Hindu or Buddhist. I'm a believing atheist what ever that means. Christianity is a copy-cat religion if you ask me. so many of their 'rituals' and 'beliefs' are plagiarized from other older religions.

Religion: Psychology
Why: It helps me understand to a certain degree why people believe in religion in the first place.

Tibetan Buddhism. I like that the Buddhist philosophy does not inhibit me in any way, whether physically, spiritually, emotionally. I like the aspect of meditation, as many people don't quite realize how many different states of consciousness can be reached and just how elaborate meditation is to the serious practitioner. I find most of my fellow Buddhists are very peaceful, non-judgmental people, which makes sharing insights a very humble experience.

The world is "full" Of Religions...........But If YOU Accept Jesus as YOUR Savior, You Have SALVATION>
There is a big difference in Religion and Salvation. Salvation Is The only Way to Heaven! Thru Jesus. HE IS ALIVE, All Other "things" that People Worship in Their Religion.....ARE DEAD!! And THEY Deny The Deity OF JESUS> Therefore GOD THE FATHER SAYS:
They Do Not Know ME! Jesus Is The Way, The Truth, The Life.........Open Your Heart And Ask Him To Come In And Save You... He Will Take You To Heaven When You Die. He Loves You, And Died For Your Sins.

Christianity. The claims in the gospels are too far out to be anything but truth. Jesus, rising from the dead... too many proofs from people alive at the time. If He didn't rise from the dead, then why didn['t someone come up with the Body? It would have been easy to disprove it. The soldiers guarded the tomb, and the rock across the entry was far too heavy for some of the ridiculous theories about moving it. Think about each item of proof, and you will agree with others who set out "debunk" it, and wound up believing.

I am Catholic.
It is the only Christian Church that does not keep splitting into a new denomination every year. It is the only Church that has lasted for nearly 2000 years and will endure until the end of time.
Many people say "I'm a Christian" but they are still an offshoot from Catholicism.
The Catholic Church has existed since A.D. 33 (Pentecost) and continues to this day. She has an unbroken line of Popes that go straight back to St. Peter.

God deals with individuals who will seek him for the truth and the truth is we can't get to God unless we know Jesus and God draws us to his son through the power of the Holy Spirit, I don't believe in a certain religion I don't believe in them or denominations they separate God's people from him and each other with the traditions of man.God wants us to learn about his righteousness and love and to know his son Jesus.
