Answer 2

Well I don't really know much about main stream religion or what they teach because I believe in the old ways of my Ancestors. I love the video titled "Native American Ten Commandments" because that is what I believe and try to follow. I've included the link below, if you want to see the video.

Answer 3

There are as many vareties of "mainstream religions" as there are theories from non-believers.

My answer is yes but you'd be hard pressed to determine my belief system from that answer.

I grew up in a non-religious ungodly family. I came to believe in God when my life was a wreck and faith seemed to provide the only possible solution.

I explored all sorts of belief systems and always knew that God was a personal God not a set of rules forced on me by people. Each time I thought I found the ultimate answer, the truth, it was temporary and failed the tests thrown at me. I was always cynical toward christians and their religion.

I am now a christian. God lead me down a long and windy road to him. I read the bible and live my life in accordance with it's teachings as best I can. I find it to be an unchanging truth in my life. Peoples' opinions change but the bible remains the same as it has for thousands of years.

There are a lot of different christian churches. If your sensing something missing in your life start seeking God in prayer and go where he leads you. Churches are made up of men and just as likely to be flawed as any other institution. However, if you find one where you feel the presence of God and they try to stay true to the bible then your probably in the right place.

It affects my life by giving me strength and hope in difficult times. It also gives me gratitude in the good times. Most of all it give me a deep awareness of meaning and purpose in my life.

Answer 4

I believed it all. Then one Sunday, my pastor, who I deeply admired and trusted, preached a sermon against skateboarding. Yes, skateboarding. It was ridiculous. He didn't have the slightest clue what he was talking about. From then on I began questioning religion. And while I think there may easily be a spiritual power, and a supreme creative power, I don't think that any religion has it exactly right, I think science and religion will converge some day in the future and we will understand that there is a spiritual and scientifically based truth, and it might not even want to be worshiped as much as understood.

Answer 5

human beings would properly be good on their very own, with out any divine help. particular, "God" can threaten or cajole the ethically challenged, yet all and sundry with some sense of humanity can behave decently with out help. maximum religions require some doctrinal assent and divine worship in order that God can nevertheless have a hand interior the sport of existence. And worshiping God isn't basically mandatory, it is likewise much less annoying than looking after each and every "neighbor" you come for the time of. So the temptation in faith is to emphasise the holy rituals on the rate of compassion and altruism. Charity is often chaotic. Worship is everyday. human beings like predictability and order.

Answer 6

No thats why the main stream religion is trying to take over the media.

Answer 7

Here's a quote from the Reverand Pat Robertson. You might remember he ran for President a few years back, and he adivises Prez. Bush on spiritual matters. Oh, and Bush gives him our tax money under the "faith-based initiatives"

"You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense. I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist."

Here's another great one by Rev. Robertson. He wants to nuke the State Department. Check out his "colorful" (I mean scriptural) language.

This is my favorite:

Pray to Yahweh, infallible white man who sits on a toilet-like White Throne of Judgment on a carpet of stars, defecating the unsaved into a swirling, fecal-stained porcelain portal to Hell, that the remaining liberal Supreme Court Justices – are of whom are old, feeble, and riddled with secret VD even Chinese whores don't get – all fall victim to sudden, career-ending, cranium-imploding brain aneurysms!

Answer 8

Nope I think spirituality comes from within and is perfected by what we do outside ourselves. Most want ot be perfected by outside things "accepting and believing in deities that clearly have characteristics that man has placed on" No one can be prefected spiritually without first examining who they are and what they want to change especially in how they treat others. I can not learn to love others till I learn to love my self. I cannot take the speck out of others eye till I take out the plank in my own. I can not teach peace till I have peace. I cannot be greatful till I have an understaning of the actions of graditude. I cannot forgive till I have accepted my feelings of anger and let go of those feelings of anger then the offense is no longer offensive to me. But when I have become truly spiritual is when I can do all these things with ease and love those who are against me. These are all tought by Jesus but humanity has changed his word to thier own will to get what they want. Ghandi said " I would be a Christian but for Christian I am not Christian " I think he searched his own life and as Christ tought he taught what was revealed as truths that he was willing to change in his own life. This day and age we do not have very many teaching uncondiotional love. I struggle with people and thier unkindness toward me and times I project my feelings of loathing on those who may have simular beliefs of those who in the past have been hateful. But I too have my stones in my shoes that I must pull out in my daily walk.

Answer 9

As a previous answer said: religions preach, not teach. The problem is that all religions are contradictory, so which one you believe depends on how gullible you are.

Answer 10

I am a Christian and I believe the whole Bible ,every word
to be true and I believe you have to live what you preach,
I believe God is Real and that he sent his Son Jesus to
die for our sin,s and you can leave God when you choose and
go to Hell.

Answer 11
