If someone was undecided about where to put their faith, how would you sway them to your enlightment?

Question

Of course, atheists included. In my view, religion is something that takes faith, and it takes faith to believe in nothing.

Answer 1

Unlike all other religions, Christianity alone possesses a founder who transcends death and who promises that His followers will do the same. All other (false) religions were founded by men and prophets whose end was the grave. As Christians, we take comfort in the fact that our God became man, died for our sins, was killed, and was resurrected the third day. The grave could not hold Him. Jesus proved that he was God when he rose from the grave. Only God has the power over life and death.

Answer 2

Have you ever seen a have you ever seen a horse and a donkey or a cat and a lion or even a human and a money; and asked your self why are this things so similar but yet so different. Well there is an answer to this question and its evolution. Yes this is a scientific study that is being proven more and more everyday. Know i know there are tons of religions out there and you may be asking why follow this (lack of) one, all the other religions only have faith to back them up and not (abundance of) facts as evolution and science does. And as you stated before, to believe in nothing takes faith, but evolution is not the belief in nothing it is the belief in a process that happens over millions of years, and science is defined as the study of a certain subject. So even if you don't believe this process will still be going on. Also look at all the great thing science has brought us as well, cures for countless disses, all the technology that we have today and any pretty much anything that is not found in nature. Now you can believe in all the other religions that teach only what they have been taught, or you can believe in science that is backed by long studies, countless number of (unbias)people backing it up, and facts.

Answer 3

A book to read would be A Case for a Creator. It is quite obvious we did not just poof into existence. As we know we have extinct animals that is not a fairy tale what does that tell us well at one point in time the earth supported all life forms so it had a beginning it has not always been but it is winding down hence the animal extinctions.

If you read the book there are numerous scientist that will tell you all of this is way to complicated there has to be a creator. Open you mind and look around through different eyes.

Answer 4

Put your faith in the Lord. 2003 during my honeymoon ive lost my wedding ring in Boracay Beach, sad part is it is our first day in the resort. My wife and I prayed to the Lord for help and miracle, told Him "thy will be done". With a help of a local diver we search the waters, we search the sand . After 3hours of searching, finally the diver found my wedding ring. Imagine a very small ring lost in a crowded and wide beach.
It takes a big faith and big God to find it. =)

We want to thank the diver after that incident, but no where we can find him. An angel of the Lord? Maybe. =)

Answer 5

It's not up to me to try to sway them. In each person, they have the capacity to find their own path or religion. I would suggest to them to exprience paths and religions and see which one makes them feel spiritually right

Answer 6

I'd tell them to do as much reading and learning as they can in order to find the path that makes sense to them.

If I have to "sway" them to my way of thinking, then my path isn't the right one for them, anyway.

Answer 7

Tell them to experience different religions and find out which works best with them. Thats what I did.

Answer 8

I would tell them to go on line and discover the Flying Spaghetti Monster and His noodly appendages dear.

Ramen !

Answer 9

I would try to guide them to their own enlightenment, not mine.
