What is your excuse for being religious?

Question

Did your parents force you into it? Peer pressure? All of the "cool" people are into it? Ignorance? Lost a bet? Just wondering.

I am not religious because of religion. It tried to force me into it, which was the first mistake, then I realized how ignorant it is.

Answer 2

God saved me from certain death when I was a young child and Saved my Soul. Therefore I Love Him as my Lord and Saviour.

2 Peter 1:11 - For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

2 Peter 2:20 - For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

2 Peter 3:2 - That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

2 Peter 3:18 - But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen

Answer 4

Hey who wants to b religious it is so mixd up but a follower of the Lord jesus Christ that is another matter.

yes a followere is wanting to learn, we all are into that , but he or she has choices what to accept they can walk away anytime if it seems false truths or can stay in realationship with Jesus. relationship is the core of all other things come together. The gus who walked with Jesus loved Him as a friend. No relationship no truth, like going out with a girl you want her to be real maybe you think of marriage with her but if she is not real thare can be no true aloha(love) right.

So do not be religious will get you nowhere. Just treat Jesus as your friend and enjoy life of real realit not in reality shows

Answer 5

What made me become religious was a sense of "lostness" I had and could never seem to overcome.

What makes me stay faithful is the overwhelming feeling of hope that I now have, my peace of mind, and the sense of joy that has filled my heart since I accepted Christ.

It's a leap of faith that you either make, or you don't.

Answer 6

I could either be religious or I could not.

If I'm not religious and I'm right, then whooptee do it doesn't really matter

If I'm religious and I'm right, then I go to heaven (double plus good)

If I'm religious and I'm wrong, then what does that really matter

If I'm not religious and I'm wrong then I'm in for a world of hurt

What is the point of not being religious in this situation.

I was the 'prodigal son' referred to in Luke 15.
I am a Christian because I learned the hard way that the pleasures of sin only last for a season, and because of that, God has made me a better person, a better husband, and a better father.

Answer 10

I have my own beliefs and I don't need any excuse for them, They don't harm anyone else, I never try to force them on to other people and they make sense to me, this is my reason for my beliefs. We are all free to follow our own beliefs. All paths lead to the same place.
