Thanks guys. I just wanted to see what you think is the most important information I should have to make a decision regarding whether or not to follow your religion.

In two sentences? Can't do it.
Well, I'm a pagan. It's not an evangelist faith so I have nothing to sell you, no dogma to enforce.
If you wanted to hang out I could explain what little I know and you could watch me and see how I practice my faith. But to me it's not important that we have same faith, only that we get along.
I have found that any good religion is the Golden Rule followed up with a whole lot of commentary and celebration.

You will have an understanding of the world that is far superior to the majority of people on the planet.
Due to this, you will be misunderstood, disliked, and distrusted by the majority of the people on the planet.
Welcome to atheism. Sounds like a person would have to have a pretty damn good reason for calling himself an atheist, doesn't it? There aren't a lot of fringe benefits.

- Different Drummers -
If I do not want what you want, please try not to tell me that my want is wrong
Or if I believe other than you, at least pause before you correct my view
Or if my emotion is less than yours, or more, given the same circumstances, try not to ask me to feel more strongly or weakly
Or yet if I act, or fail to act, in the manner of your design for action, let me be
I do not, for the moment at least, ask you to understand me. That will come only when you are willing to give up changing me into a copy of you
I may be your spouse, your parent, your offspring, your friend, or your colleague. If you will allow me any of my own wants, or emotions, or beliefs, or actions, then you open yourself, so that some day these ways of mine might not seem so wrong, and might finally appear to you as right -- for me. To put up with me is the first step to understanding me. Not that you embrace my ways as right for you, but that you are no longer irritated or disappointed with me for my seeming waywardness. And in understanding me you might come to prize my differences from you, and, far from seeking to change me, preserve and even nurture those differences.

No pitch - but here's the info...

It's a pretty good religion for me. You'll have to decide what works for you. Religion is a tool to get closer to God. You'll have to choose your own. I have no way of knowing what you need to get closer to God - or if you even want to.
Namaste!!

There is only one true religion, the Christians(followers of God),the one and only God.
All the others are ether man made, or false religion started by satan, who wanted to become God,and take over His Kingdom.

Its not about a religion, it’s about a relationship with Jesus. If you read and believe the bible to be the truth you will find a love that will fill the emptiness in your heart.

God is a person: the perfection and power and creator of the Universe as a home for His offspring and the rest of His creation.. Man is His child, begotten and created to have the potential to become like Him, as a boy grows up to be like his father.

Christians around these parts keep trying to convince me that atheism is a religion, so I'm gonna run with it for the purpose of answering this question:
No Hell, no tithes, you get to keep your Sundays to yourself, and pre-marital sex is a-ok!
There... I only needed one sentence.
