I do not mind that you are religious, and that you find confort in your faith. I am the same
I get bothered when you come over and tell me that I will roast in the fiery pits of hell for all eternity, because my faith is not your faith

Read James 1:26-27. This scripture tells us what "religion" is to God. As for judging others, God specifically tells us in His Word that we are not to judge by the outward appearance. He is the only one who knows the true intent of a person. And, you are absolutely correct when you said that our Heavenly Father loves all of us. Unfortunately, there are many people who reject His love and will suffer eternal consequences for their rejection. God bless you!!

Nothing is wrong with being religious, unless you try to force it on others. Not everyone will appreciate your level of devotion, but that is their prerogative. If your faith makes you a good person and it is how you want to live your life, then don't worry about those people, just pray for them.
I used to avoid Jehovah's Witnesses and didn't think I would like to be friends because of the proselytizing. However, I met one at work, and she doesn't force her faith on people. She respects that other people want to have their own path to God. I realized that I shouldn't judge her because she is a devout Witness, because she is a good person, and if the reason that she is such a wonderful woman is due to her faith, then that isn't a bad thing at all.

1) The Heavenly Father does not love ALL of us.
2) The Pharisees were 'religious', it didn't help them, it got into the way.
3) Jesus never said you had to be religious. He said to believe in Him and trust Him.
4) The main thing about being 'religious' is to be carnal. Outward acts tell of their values, instead of inner love for God. (Remember the Pharisees?)
5) Anyone can be as religious as they want to be. I don't have to in order to be saved. What Jesus said to do is believe in Him and trust Him. (Getting the picture?)

It's not religion nobody trust. It's the people of religion. What's with the taking over the world? All the wrong doing? God meant religion to be good.To help people. Isn't that what he did? Dead for all of mankind. He couldn't have started a war. But he sacrificed his own son. How many people of religion can say they have even helped the man next to them?

whilst governor of Missouri, Boggs issued Missouri govt Order 40 4, a checklist time-honored in Latter Day Saint historic past because of the fact the "Extermination Order."

The order grew to become into rescinded on June 25, 1976, after almost 138 years, with the aid of Missouri Governor Christopher Bond, who declared that the unique order violated criminal rights typical with the aid of the U.S. shape.

There is nothing wrong with being religious, as long as you don't try to force your religion or beliefs upon others. The ones who judge do so because they are narrow minded and think that everyone should be the same

Religion is a state of mind that has been the precursor for every war and deaths to this day, and maybe not religion as much as it is beliefs.
Religion is about faith, beliefs all are out of context.
The only prerequisite there is for Gods love is faith, nothing else.

To people who don't believe, it is difficult for them to understand how we think and feel as Christians since they don't have a personal relationship with our Heavenly Father! All we can do is pray for those non-believers for their salvation! I know that it is very frustrating and hard for christians to understand why non-believers believe how they do too!! No one has the right to judge anyone, only God does!!
God Bless!! ( ;

There are select people on this earth that choose to judge. It is not every other person that does not follow or believe in your own particular beliefs that judges you. In your eyes, the heavenly father loves us all---but in my eyes that doesn't even exist. I don't judge you because you think that. I choose a different path. That's all:)
