What you are describing is called being spiritual but not religious.  Good work.

Nope. Home recovering from surgery. I just wanted to say, I really liked your take on spirituality! So many people turn away from God (or whatever you prefer to call it) when what they should be questioning are the religions created by man. God does not equal religion. When it comes to teachings, take what rings true to you! I'd love to see more people understand the difference!

(Note: I was raised Catholic and now consider myself agnostic.)My observations of religion throughout history:  Religion has always been there.  All religions give guidelines for how to live life.  Many people have died for the sake of religious beliefs.\n\nReligion has always been there...  How many religions (including all of the "extinct" religions) have there been?  How many do you worship?  Do you really have reason to believe that yours is the right religion?  Haven't you noticed that most children worship the same religion as their parents?\n\nAll religions give guidelines as how to live life...  the 10 commandments: dont kill, dont steal...   Yup that these types of things sound good to me.  Did I really need a list of things I should not do?  What about torture?  Why isn't that on the list?  Through education I developed a moral compass and a concious.  A way of knowing what is right and wrong.\n\nMany people have died for the sake of religious beliefs... This is my beef with religion.  It unites those within it, but it divides those of the different religions.  If its such a good thing why do so many die in its name?\n\nSo why am I not atheist?  I honestly don't know if there is a God or not.  Maybe God did create everything and is now on the sidelines.  I hope their is a God.  I really do.  My dad's passing was one of the hardest experiences of my life.  I hope he was not reduced to nothingness.  Still I must be honest with myself.  I DONT KNOW.  Anyone who says they do is lieing in my opinion.  If they did really know then it is no longer a question of faith.  Sure if I met God I'd worship him/her/it/them.  But I'm not going to blindly follow ANYTHING, much less something as powerful as religion.\n\nIf there is a God and they stand in judgement upon a person's death I do not believe that God will care if we went to church on Sunday, gave money to the church, or repented before our death.  They will care how we lived our life.  Did we try to improve the lives of the people around us?  Did we try to do the right thing?  Did we treat others as we wish to be treated?  And if there is this judgement followed by a heaven/hell, I believe I will be meeting my dad in heaven.  Until then I will try to do the right thing, not because of religion, but because ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

No, there isn't a religion that is the "best".  There is  religion that is the best for you.  My mother is Muslim, I am Catholic but we don't think one religion is better than te other.

Perhaps you might want to post this in the religion category

There are currently from 1,000 to 20,000 different religions depending on the survey.  Many of them consist of worship to jealous god or gods.   If you choose the wrong religion, then you may wind up in Hell.\n\nIf you are playing the odds, the only sane choice is to be agnostic.  At least that way, no god will get pissed at you for worshipping a false god or gods.

FYI I'm a Christian...if you read any history at all, religion has been around since humans became in existence.  Every culture discovered by archeologist's has had some form of a God.  From the ancient Aztecs, ancient Egyptians, and the Mesopotamians. The Majority of humans on this earth (87%) believe in one God or another...their "religion".  It is only the Atheist who do not believe in any power greater than themselves.  Pretty weird.

I have.  And it looks good to me.  No religion is perfect I must confess, but there are certain beliefs that are needed.  I found my faith that is the best beliefs.  I had analyzed many others, but all weren't biblical.  I don't need a priest, I just need me and God.  And the beliefs that God gave us.  Like eating healthy, following His law for our own benefit out of obedience, the Sabbath, etc.  If we all looked at our beliefs and religion, we would be a perfect religion.  But again, there are different beliefs and people would still disagree.

What does this question have to do with religion????

Pack your bags and run. No man or religion can force you to stay with that particular religion otherwise it's a cult. Yes and people say don't judge other religions. What a religion, huh?

Yes, of one sort or another.  Considering that religion is really just a way of explaining the world around us, and considering that some branches of science require just as much faith as some religions, we can assume that (in one form or another) we will always have religion.

Yes, it is true.  You have to remember that not all religions are the true religion. According to the bible there is only one true religion.  Jesus and the apostles were only one religion.  The bible says that there is "one faith, one baptisim and one God.  Since  there are so many false religions, you have to really do a lot ot research to find the correct one.  Sincere prayer and a humble heart will help.  God allows people who really want to know the truth to be able to understand it.   You have already  eliminated most religions by asking your question.  If they teach false conceptions, then they are not from God. go to www.watchtower.org

As a Christian, I believe that there are no religions (other than Christianity) are of God.  Any religion that is not of God is leading people away from God.  There is no good in it.
