Of Course! Christianity is the faith of the one true God who came to us in time as a man and gave evidence that what the Bible says is true. Everything was witnessed, recorded, and realized in believers.

No, I believe that everyone has a different level of understanding. There are those who need that structure and there are those who do not. That's why there are so many religions.
Take Christianity which I feel is unyielding. There is a rule for almost everything and a consequence for braking it.
Then there's Buddhism which teaches by example. Where there is a parable for almost all situations and basically makes you think about your actions before and after you commit them. Giving you the chance learn from your mistakes.
Then there is Wicca that has a fundamental law of "Do what you will and harm none." Pretty ambiguous until you start to really think about it. Yeah, you can steal from a store and you may not get caught but because of your theft and many others that store had to beef up security which cost money which ultimately cost the consumer more.
When you look at the majority of religions you will notice quite a few fundamentals in common. Don't steal, respect one another and elders, be honorable and truthful, that greed and lust can be a persons down fall, that hate and vengeance is wrong can destroy a person from with in and that forgiveness can heal the soul. These fundamentals are just presented a different way.

Pick your religion
For the purposes of this answer ‘Faiths’ are included in religions because the semantic word play will not be acknowledged.
Most religions claim they their book is divinely inspired.
Some actually claim it to be written by their god.
Most religions claim to be the true religion.
Most religions say that they have proof of their religion being the true one yet all the arguments are circular therefore invalid.
Because of this, all religions say it is about ‘Faith’ and following your heart.
So, because the above is true then all religions are equally valid.
Most religions claim to be the way of love and peace.
Most religions have killed to convert.
All religions are different but claim to have commonalities.
Therefore it follows that they must all be dilutions.

We cannot read the mind of God. God alone knows no limit. our mind is so limited. So we can never say there is any correct one religion. For it depends on how you respond on it. what ever the disposition of your heart will tell you as right. What is correct for me may not for you or vice-versa. So the correct religion is what you are embracing now, be faithful on it.

NO. I say this because I was raised to see/experience MANY religions, because my mom was not sure- as you are not- I AM 42 now.....I do not "DO" religion. To me religion is a cult-like entity....I hope I don't scare you-however, I feel GOD wants US to seek HIM. ONLY HIM. I am SPIRITUAL-NOT religious. Religion is MAN-made. Anything we come up with is tainted.
**Get somewhere quiet and ask GOD what HE wants you to do. HE WILL show you>>>>I promise.He works in mysterious ways. Someone may come up to you and say.....whatever GOD told him to. WATCH/LISTEN
God wants us to be happy-NOT Opressed/scared all the time. That does'nt mean get smashed every nite,do drugs,treatb people mean. YOU do the best YOU can, and ask GOD to give you the strength and the Character so that you can help others.
I hope this helps, because there have been days I think>>If another preacher "preaches" AT me - I will NOT go back.
GOD IS LOVE....not hate.

Nope. A religion that works for one person may or may not work for the next-- so a religion is only perfect for the people it works for.
As for that answer above-- not ALL religions say they're the only right path. Pagans, Wiccans, Buddhists and a lot of other religions claim that the right way is whichever way works for you-- not just their particular belief system.

no. simply because if you think about it, all the different religions in the world are co-related. they all contain teachings that are similar to the others and I believe that although each religion teaches good things they also each have flaws. People who say that their religion is the best or the only correct one are hypocrites. They are highfalutin' and they think they are the best.

i think all religions have a point. i feel that God & Jesus love the believers as long as the believe in Them, & not concerned with what religion it is. God looks at the heart.

No such thing. Each religion believe they are the true form.
EDIT:
I pity those who truly believes that there is only one correct religion; for that way of thinking, we will never see coexistence, tolerance, and peace with one another.

Nope. Here's how it goes. Compared to the Divine Mother Creator of the Universe, we are little chirping frogs. We just can't comprehend even a small part of her magnificence. We make up all of these words, rituals, beliefs to try to explain her but it is like a cockroach trying to explain Mozart. There is no hope that any of us would invent the ONE CORRECT religion. After all, we are only human.

No. God (if God exists) has sent out NO comprehensive memo to all peoples in all places about His/Her/Its nature. Instead, throughout human history we see human beings seeking the Divine in terms that are heavily influenced by their time, place, and culture.
Every religion is correct to its adherents. And I believe that if God exists, there are many valid and fulfilling paths to that destination.
