The big way to take people from God is to have many, many, many different "religions".  Confuse them all!  Have you prayed to see through the smoke?

It is confusing. That is why I read my Bible everyday. I believe it is the Word of God. That is all He has given me to go on. I do feel sorry for people who do not realize this. They are easily swayed. It also keeps me on track by belonging to a church. Jesus loves the church, He is coming back for the church.

The problem is that everyone IS arguing about RELIGION. Ok first of all yes I am Christian in that I follow Christ, but I don't claim a sect (e.g. Baptist, Pentacostal, etc...), and I'm not going to force my beliefs on anyone. The thing most people (especially "religious" people) don't get is that it is not about being religious, it is about haveing a relationship with the loveing God who created you. Most people choose a religion, (or choose not to) based on the structure that they like, or the rules they are willing to follow, or just because it is how they were raised, but think about it really, if you do believe in a God, whatever you may call him, then it only makes sense to ask HIM how he wants you to live, not your church. Believe me, if you ask he WILL answer you.

good point you make...i agree...keep questioning God...don't let these so called christians tell you that you will "go to hell" for asking...  God wants us to find him however we can...don't be a follower but a leader and ask ask away....

You may have created a new oxymoron.  Evolved religion.  Religious fanatics tend to be UNBENDING in their beliefs.  I just can't see the major religions getting together and coming up with something that they all can worship and still cover all their basic needs.

It's not so much the religions as it is the politics of the religion. Having faith is just having a belief - it's the religious DOGMA (telling you how to live, etc.) thay causes the problems. Why everyone wants to think that everyone else should believe in their particular brand of faith is beyond me. Why can't we all just get along. Different strokes for different folks, is what I say.

First, I need to let you know I am not a Christian. Next, you need to do some research before you just start digging at people. Humans are the ones that make Christians jump aroud and play Simon Says, NOT God. Man has been twisting this "religion" since they figured out it could control people. There is no need to tear people up for their beliefs. Some people need it in there lives. Most belief systems teach Love and tolerance. The fact that people do not practice this is the real problem with the world today. Focus your anger and frustration on the real issues.

Does it really matter what other people believe.  You need to figure out what you believe, whether that is in God or not.  Think for yourself.  It can be fun.

I am concerned.Preaching hellfire and brimstone is not always going to be the best way to start off a conversation.Every single one of us are different.Some people go off at the mere mention of Jesus Christ or all religions for that matter.Then some are willing to here what some people say with an open mind.Some people who witness to others don't always think out what their going to do,and how their going to do it.Some people are given the gift of bringing souls to Christ.Some stumble when they try.\n\nPeople that witness to others cannot and will not ever be able to make someone believe.There holy mandate is to bring the gospel to the masses,and have grace when doing so.Not everybody can find that fine line.\n\nNext time someone witnesses to you,and you feel their wrong.Tell them to stop,and to remember the way Jesus did it.He did it with grace,love,and adhering to his father's law.\n\nPeace be unto you.

Huh? Religions have always come down to personal preference...and familial and community pressure...so what's your point? I'm missing something here.

Sorry for your bad experience. Hopefully here you have brought forth a very good question. Why do others judge at all no matter what their religion? You are right. No one knows your heart but you and God. Humans are just that human. We all have faults.Please find it in your heart to forgive anyone who offended you and accept my apologies for all.

Hey, can I start by raising the term Agnostic?  You know, if we got all the atheists and agnostics together we would probably out number all the religions in the world.  We could probably turn them into the quiet, life living people that we are.  It seems we are the only group of people that aren't trying to change everyone elses mind.  Why do the religious types have to go to the point of harrasment?  Religions only exist because all of us allow them to have their own oppinion.  I like to think we lead by example.

A lot of religions share similar themes. Most have taken ideas from past religions and sort of reformed them.  It can be confusing with so many religions out there.  I take a anthropological mostly agnostic view on religion.  I know there is something, but who knows what, and who knows which religion is the one to follow.

Why is is so easy to pick on Christians for their beliefs and not others for their non belief?  There are hypocrites everywhere, not just in religion.  I am sorry that you had a bad experience with one Christian, but as one myself, I get really tired of everyone grouping people into one category based on one experience.  I suppose I could go around and make ignorant judgements on every type of people because of one instance, but why not just accept that there are people that really do take the word to heart and practice the living proofs of the Bible?!  I can't make everyone else do it, but I know that I live my life according to Christ's teachings.

OK venting about other religions is wrong. I'm a Christian, and Christians are supposed to love everyone, no matter how different they are from them. Everyone has their own beliefs, why can't we accept people for who they are?( at least, until they start harming and abusing people...)\n\n\nha ha... and I just realized that the person above me just basically said the same thing....

That is a very narrow view of "religion". Many religious groups, and their beliefs, do not fit your description.
