I have no religion. Wait, does that mean I can't answer this question?

I find your question to be worded such that it makes you look ignorant. That's like saying what is the real political party? There are many religions and none of them are any more or less "real" than others. Some have more power and more money and more people behind them. Some have been around for longer and have created structures to be sure they continue to exist. Some have been the source of tremendous suffering based on the premise that they are the "real" religion and that the people who don't believe that should be killed simply for that reason. What I practice in my relationship with God is purely my business and is a very personal thing -- between only me and God. I can participate in organized religon if I choose to -- usually based almost exclusively on how I was brought up -- but that has nothing to do with the religion itself being any more "real" than other religions.

Christian b/c I was raised in a Christian family and church. I've also been in a car accident and talked to God. So, I personally don't have to question whether or not there is a God or a heaven. I've seen both. I believe he died for us on the cross and gave his only son so that we could have eternal life. I believe when I die I will go to heaven.
I think it's much better to believe in that then to not believe in anything at all. There is not an ounce of me that believes in evolution, yet I always listen when people talk about it for a debate. I try to stay open minded but in my heart I know I'm where I'm suppose to be in that area. When things get hard, I have a thing called faith to guide me through. Christians don't wish harm on anyone for any reason either. Some "religions" do..

my religion is the religion of reality....and I workout to relieve stress...try this dose of reality......
1. Many more individuals are born than can possibly survive, thus there is competition for limited resources
2. Within this vast number there is variation, and because of this variation some of these individuals will have an advantage--however slight--over others
3. The ones who have the advantages are more competitive and thus they are more likely to obtain the limited resources
4. The ones who are succeeding in securing the limited resources are more likely to reproduce and thus pass onto their offspring the more competitive traits
Darwin
BTW.....why does anyone pray?? Doesnt God already know everything and doesnt he control everything??
Does the person who prays the most get the most?? Is it a contest with God?? Does he keep score??
It occurs to me that praying is very selfish b/c God already knows it all and controls it all, so it makes no sense to me....unless of course God is just pure fiction....mmmmmm....

It was handed from my generations to me. I dont want to throw in the garbage anything that came from my parents and forefathers. If there something wrong with it its my time to correct it. Dont mean that ill change the whole thing.
May I ask you this? Is there any religion that is fake? How can we prove it? Several religion varries only in how they worshiped, celebrates but still they beleived in one God.Its the faith and beleif that counts here. I am a catholic but i Beleived in one God the Almighty.

Non-theistic Pagan. I chose it because it empowers me and gives my life balance, something sorely lacking in most other religions.
And all religions are real, just ask their followers.
