There are many religions out there and each one claims that they're the one and only right one and all the others are wrong. I'm not Jewish, but Jesus was, so should we all be Jewish?
But the question is:
What makes you so certain that you're religion has got it right and every other religion or non-belivers have got it wrong?
After all, the only reason you happen to be in the religion you're in is because you just happened to be born in to a family or country that is of that religion.
This is not an opportunity to attack other religions or atheists since I'm sure that they'll also be sure that they have it right and you don't and its not answering my question anyway.

The truth is no one knows. For all we know Anubis could be waiting for us when we die. As an Atheist I take the logical approach and assume that all Gods are made as their isn't evidence for any of them,

This is why we have all these wars through out 1,000's of years over who's religion is right and who's is wrong.
Read Betty J Eadies book" Embraced By The Light" when she died went to the otherside and saw Jesus she asked him "Why didn't God give us only one church? One pure religion?" Betty said Jesus told her " Each of us is at a different level of spiritual development and understanding, therefore prepared for a different level of spiritual knowledge. All religions upon the earth are necessary because there are people who need to teach .People in one religion may not have a complex understanding of the Lord's gospel and never will have while in that religion, but that religion is used as a stepping stone to further knowledge.Each church or house of worship fulfills spiritual needs that perhaps other churches or houses of worship cannot fill"

I am an agnostic.Ie I do not either believe or disbelieve.How can anyone say for sure that there is a God out there. Many believers will say that they are certain that there is a God but HOW do they know when they have not seen or heard a God. Its like many things in this life such as the Loch Ness monster. Not a soul can say that it exists There have been many hoaxes as with UFO's. The one good thing with any religion is that it gives people a peace of mind especially when they are going to die or when they reach an old age.

I don't just believe in my religion because of where I was born or who I grew up with. Yes, that is why I started off as a believer, but I've seen proof for myself that what I believe in is right.
But I still respect people of other faiths, because not only do I feel that is morally right but also because my religion requires me to do so.
It's not just my religion that I think is correct, either. I also believe the earliest Jews and Christians had it right, too.
If you want to know more, please feel free to IM me.
Peace be to you.

The real God says,if you criticize,put down or insult any of my children, because of the way they choose to praise me,
this is same as criticizing,putting down,or insulting me.
The reason I gave you a soul and a brain to think, so you can separate right from wrong,evil from goodness; and you are as a individual,I will hold you responsible for all your actions.
If I wanted you to follow a Sheppard blindly, I would have given you a brain of a lamb, and spare you from all responsibilities of being a human.
To people who does not understand that when Americans goes to to vote,their votes only counts ONCE. If a person wants to vote thousands of times,by hijacking our churches and brainwashing the faithful as he tells them to vote certain way, is a evil person with no respect for God or our Democracy. God is not a politician. People who thinks they are speaking for God, do not represent the true God.
We must defend our Churches and get rid of the terrorists.

I believe that Jesus Christ was/is the son of God, the Messiah, our Redeemer.
Jesus said that He was the ONLY way to the Father, and anybody trying to get into heaven by any other means will be thrown into outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.
IF Jesus is who he claimed to be, then that nails it. Some say that he was merely a good moral teacher or just another prophet from God, but the things he said and did does not leave that as an option. If he wasn't the son of God, he was either some kind of deranged lunatic, or just a lying blasphemous deceiver. He didn't give us any room for any other options.
But, because Jesus DID change my life, when my life was at a low point, I have to conclude that Jesus IS the Son of God, the Messiah and redeemer.
By the way, I did NOT grow up in a Christian home. In fact, as a Jew, I was always taught that Jesus was a liar, a deceiver, a lunatic and a blasphemer. It was only when I actually had an encounter with Him that I had to either change my mind, or commit moral and spiritual suicide by denying the obvious.

What about no religions? I don't put myself in any religion because they are just denominations and God will only judge us according to what we have done in our life rather than what religion we are. I think it is really irrelevant what religion we are just as long as we believe that God is God and we follow His Word and way of life. Jesus was Jewish yes but that surely didn't determine His fate, which was to die on the cross for our sins and ascend into Heaven. Jesus's religion didn't play a factor in anything. And the religions today shouldn't either.

Organized religion was created by man to contol the masses. It still works for that. It does not matter what religion or not that you choose. At the end their will be just God and you, you will answer to him like it or not, believe it or not.

What does it mean to say a religion is right?
I believe most religions teach some truth. However, most also teach misconceptions of truth as well. Truth is independent of whether anyone believes it or not.
I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints aka Mormon Church. I believe it's the original Church of Jesus Christ, restored to the earth in modern times complete with prophets and apostles called of God to help us understand truth. Prophets in the Church aren't perfect, but they do receive revelation from God to help us gain the most from this school of ours called earth.
How do I know this? I've studied and prayed to know the truth. God has told me in my mind and heart that I'm on the right path.

I'm not certain. However, it is what is right for me. I feel religion is a societal thing. Faith is what matters. I also feel that everyone is headed for the same thing, just taking different paths.

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. Jas 1:27 -this is what the bible calls "religion".
I don't have religion..I have Jesus Christ and new life.
I have a relationship with God. The indwelling of the Holy Ghost.
Its impossible to doubt that.
