i believe there are several ''gods'' but all are fiction hokus pokus
but all religions are good because they show us the best way to live in harmony

Harmony?

Religion has been the top catalyst of violence in the world for at least the past 2,000 years.

1) More than 4 billion are going to hell, its a narrow road
2) the Bible is the true word of God
3) There is only one God, and there is a Heaven

My thoughts on this is that, if there is a god, who is burning good people for eternety in hell, for no other reason than not to believe in a story out of a book.
Then I do not want to be in his heaven.
I love other good persons too much for it.

Please dont take this offensive against christianity or your personal belief. That is not my intend.

yes pride the lord! bow down to jesus muda fuckas

A) Redefine the word Good. To the average human being, the word GOOD comes from our past experiences, and changes. It is humanistic in notion, and is a variable. Back in the Roman age, it was GOOD to have many slaves, and nobody thought anything of it. Today, it is abhorred. So can anything "Good" actually be something we accept today? Are we so arrogant as to say that our culture is civilised enough to think that things wont change in the future, likewise to the Roman-era comparatively to today?

As a Christian, I would like to redefine "Good". It isn't something as wishy washy as what we today have derived from our culture. Being truly Good is doing the will of God. Whether this goes against our current perception of "Good" is irrelevant it may differ, but Good is not something I can define.

A lot of people and friends that I talk to have said the same thing that religion is just a means to enslave society, or just a decent set of moral values. I dont think this is the case. At the end of the day, religion comes down to two crossroads Either there is a religion or there isn't, and assuming there IS a religion, then which one? As far as I know, religions (at least Christianity and a few other major religions) are mutually exclusive, meaning that ONLY ONE IS CORRECT, AND ALL OTHERS ARE FALSE. Just because you don't like the fact that all non-christians are going to hell, it doesn't change the fact that this is the ultimate truth. Just because you choose to not like this and accept it, doesnt change the fact that one day it will come down to this simple question Do you believe in Jesus or not?

On top of all this, I feel God's hand moving in my life today, and it just cannot be ignored. This is my personal experience with God.


In summary, Whether we like it or not is irrelevant. IF its the truth, then you had better accept it. However, there's only one way to find out... investigate. From my experience, you won't regret it. Everybody will each find their answer!

I think ive summed up my own thoughts based on users posts
Different religions are just different ways through God, he has outreached through many different views for you to see him through.

In the end your just building a relationship with him, and how strong that relationship is based on how you have lived your life toward him determines a heaven factor.

It is not by your own devotion in keeping that relationship with him, It's about HIS devotion to keeping a relationship with you.
I must admit I'm a back slidden Christian (A Christian that is not growing and learning as much as he or she should - or atleast i attempt to be - i'm not perfect, no one is)
Now if your own devotion to Christ determines the issue of your salvation, many of us will not be able to be with him in heaven after this life. all you have to do is ask him to be your saviour because you cannot save yourself.
It is only by God's hand that your with him, once you are with him, he will never let you go. This is truth my friend, I'm happy to see that you're interested in these things.
The Bible assures that you can never lose your salvation. In John 10:29 it says "My Father which gave them me, is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand" (Them refers to those who have put their faith in Christ)
Now as for the relationship, think of it as a relationship with someone you love, maybe you have a girlfriend. Ofcourse, you want to spend time with her, otherwise that bond won't be as strong. You want to know everything about your girlfriend, same with God, You should want to know as much about God as you can by reading the Bible and praying to him. That way, you will find something that will change your life FOREVER. you will feel exactly how real God is. Ofc you won't know all the answers, Even pastors and preachers and evangelists don't know all the answers. As humans, we can't comprehend us, we can't comprehend how he loves us so much to send his son to die for us. we can't comprehend how he continues to love us with all the evil that we have done.

Seperated from God and those beings that believed in him doesn't sound that bad. At least you question your doctrine and come up with your own views. I respect you sir.

Personally I dont believe you have to 'christian' though (this is mainly because I am agnostic). If God exists and truly loves everyone; provided you live your life well and to good intentions you will surpass to heaven (if he does exist that is)
