There is one fact about religion: your religion is best for you right now. That’s basically all you can say about any religion. All you can speak about is your religion, and all you can say is that it’s either the best for you right now or it is not. If it is the best for you, then you should be growing spiritually and enjoying life. You should be learning things that help you develop more love and compassion for other people in your family, and those you meet when you’re out and about in your daily life. That’s if your religion is working for you. If you’re not doing these things, then find another one. Or leave religion entirely and maybe listen to the voice of nature.

I personally don't believe in religion, to me that is a way of life (you religiously brush your teeth at 6:13 a.m., you religiously watch CSI, or what ever the case may be). But if you'd have to find me worshiping some where, it would be in a Pentecostal Tabernacle simply because they follow the teachings of the Apostles which were left by Jesus Christ. So any denomination that teaches the ways of Christ is correct and true.

Jesus founded the Nazarenes.

Paul of Tarsus founded christianity to counter the message of Jesus and distort its meaning.
http://one-faith-of-god.org/new_testament/apocrypha/founders_christianity/founders_christianity_0010.htm
So I definately wouldn't be listing christianity or Catholicism.
In fact, a person who is a Catholic is someone that rejects both the true religion of Jesus (Nazarenes/Gnostics) as well as the fundamentals of the religion of Paul of Tarsus- therefore a double heretic.
This is because Catholics since 1871 have effectively worshipped their Pope as a Living God- infallible and therefore above all human law and all other humans.
Not even Jesus was considered infallible...

Pastor Billy says: this is what the Catholic Church has to say about it.
taken from the Catechism of the Catholic Church
843 The Catholic Church recognizes in other religions that search, among shadows and images, for the God who is unknown yet near since he gives life and breath and all things and wants all men to be saved. Thus, the Church considers all goodness and truth found in these religions as "a preparation for the Gospel and given by him who enlightens all men that they may at length have life."332
844 In their religious behavior, however, men also display the limits and errors that disfigure the image of God in them:
Very often, deceived by the Evil One, men have become vain in their reasonings, and have exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and served the creature rather than the Creator. Or else, living and dying in this world without God, they are exposed to ultimate despair.333
845 To reunite all his children, scattered and led astray by sin, the Father willed to call the whole of humanity together into his Son's Church. the Church is the place where humanity must rediscover its unity and salvation. the Church is "the world reconciled." She is that bark which "in the full sail of the Lord's cross, by the breath of the Holy Spirit, navigates safely in this world." According to another image dear to the Church Fathers, she is prefigured by Noah's ark, which alone saves from the flood.334
"Outside the Church there is no salvation"

All of the religions I have studied have had some degree of truth and correctness. I have found the greatest truth in Christianity, which is not surprising for it is based on the act of God becoming man. Where could one find a greater truth than in Christ?

While a lot of religions teach a great message I personally beleive to fully follow in Christ's footsteps would be the true religion. I believe in Jesus Christ as the savior of the world.

That one that John Lennon sang about.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
(Christ was a dreamer, so was Luther, Buddha, Ghandi, MLK Jr., -- We could make a list a thousand long!)

none really, if you think about it long enough. see every pastor/rabbi/rev./priest all say the same thing "join us (name of church) & be saved. if you dont turn your hearts now you'll go to hell."
so since its impossible to join EVERY SINGLE FRIGGEN church out there...we'l all end up in hell. & if you jon the satanists...ya still go down under.
k see how stupid this is getting? personally, the athiests have the right idea...but they're missing a little something. but they're the closest to the truth.
the best way to go is spiritually. read your bible for y'self & make up your own mind.
like me for eg, see a lot of people keep church on sunday right?
why?
some people keep church on saturday. again...why?
everyone answesr those questions dif. for me i prefer the saturday cuz it says in the bible the 7th day is the lords. & if you look at the calander...thats sat.
(in case your wondering, i didnt take sunday cuz i didnt find anything in the bible that mentioned sunday....but it doesnt make me right or wrong. you have to find out such things for yourself)
so thats the best way of all to go about it. follow your bible & forget the nonsense preached...literally preached. lol
