‘Christ according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the holy Ghost the third. Each of these three persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten--just the same before as after. Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son. The Holy Ghost proceeded form the Father and Son, but was an equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that is to say before he existed, but he is of the same age as the other two. Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity.’
- Col. Robert G. Ingersoll

Why So Many Religions?
A woman wrote to the branch office of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Guatemala and described her discussion with a Witness during a bus trip. “We talked about why there are so many religions,” the woman explained. She said the Witness then pulled out a copy of the brochure What Does God Require of Us? and turned to the topic “How Can You Find the True Religion?” “The subject surprised me,” the woman wrote. “It wasn’t until then that I realized there must be only one group of true worshipers.”
When she had the opportunity to read the brochure, she was deeply moved. So she explained: “I am writing to see if you can help me receive a Bible course using this brochure because I am sure that what it contains is the truth.”
The 32-page brochure What Does God Require of Us? is the same size as this magazine. In addition to the topic mentioned above, the brochure answers such questions as:
▪ Who is God?
▪ What is God’s purpose for our earth?
▪ What is God’s Kingdom?
▪ How can you have a happy family life?

God has never made anything confusion. The confusion has came about by people all over the earth wanting to live their lives to please themselves instead of God. If people would just get back to the Word of God, and make every attempt to be obedient to it, there would not be so many different religions, or denominations. God's Word is the only real source of true leadership that we have; not all of the different denominational books that have been written. God tells us very clearly in his Holy Word, that He is not the author of confusion, but of peace. (1 Cor. 14:33)

If the entire world would just give up religion we would not have all these religious quarreling going on.
Religion does more harm than good; think about that

You're only confused because you're not truly seeking God. Instead, you're listening to all the quarreling going on, and getting in on it. What a waste of time. God didn't put you here in spacetime, so you could waste your life. Make a decision!

When God created light ,HE created darkness. God gave us the free will.which way we have to follow.the light or the dark.People has to create religion in order they have reasons to fight...There is only one original church created by Christ,the church he created in the rock..
Lets not forget the Light and Darkness.,if we follow the Light then its the way to everlasting life but what about Darkness?
Lets not forget that the most tricks satan succeeded is to let people believe that He does not exist..If we only reflect and asks the Lords guidance every morning to guide us then we can feel that there is an invisible power leading us to light...We always feel Gods presence in our Life. Lets not forget that invisible fight between good and evil.satan does his best to win ones soul but He never succeed as long as we have the Lords guidance.Despite the suffererings and turmoil we still made it not because we are clever but because God is wise,its not because that we are strong but because God is Mighty,,and we made it not because we are consistent but because God is Faithful.God Bless us All and have Peace on Earth.

Man did the confusion. God even left us His Word the Holy Bible. God picked prophets who prophesied and all of their prophesies came true except the few still to be fulfilled.

God didn't make it confusing, man makes it confusing, such as "preachers" by interpreting the bible in a way that is most convenient to them. That is why there are so many different religions. Everyone wants to be right, but there is only one true church...

The garden of Eden was boring, so Adam and Eve only had fruit picking or nookie pooks to keep themselves amuse .. so God gave life an interesting kick start by creating (or allowing people the right to create) their own version of beliefs, and I believe I will now go and have a nip of Malt

God did not create religion. Humans did. God only wanted a relationship with His children. We made it complicated and warped
