It's not about choosing a religion first. It is about coming to know God by seeking him and asking him who he is--and then he leads you to the truth about himself.\n\nSo, that is what I would recommend: Seek to know God. Pray, ask him for faith, ask him to bless you with the knowledge of who he is. Keep your eyes open, and pay attention to where he guides you.\n\nSeeking God is not a game. It is the entire purpose of our life on earth. Just because some humans have misunderstood God and have created religions that attempt to point people in the wrong direction does not mean that it is God who created a game. it is actually people who created the game. God doesn't play games with human souls.\n\nBest to you in your search for the true, living God.

Welcome to the real world.Religion is about select justification,not logic.The best thing to do is protect your own rights.

You don't know for sure if ANY of them are "right". That is what "faith" really is about.

How can a person know which religion is right?\n\n(1) On what are its teachings based? Are they from God, or are they largely from men? (2 Tim. 3:16; Mark 7:7) Ask, for example: Where does the Bible teach that God is a Trinity? Where does it say that the human soul is immortal?\n\n(2) Consider whether it is making known the name of God. Jesus said in prayer to God: “I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world.” (John 17:6) He declared: “It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.” (Matt. 4:10) Has your religion taught you that ‘it is Jehovah you must worship’? Have you come to know the Person identified by that name—his purposes, his activities, his qualities—so that you feel you can confidently draw close to him?\n\n(3) Is true faith in Jesus Christ being demonstrated? This involves appreciation of the value of the sacrifice of Jesus’ human life and of his position today as heavenly King. (John 3:36; Ps. 2:6-8) Such appreciation is shown by obeying Jesus—sharing personally and zealously in the work that he assigned to his followers. True religion has such faith that is accompanied by works.—Jas. 2:26.\n\n(4) Is it largely ritualistic, a formality, or is it a way of life? God strongly disapproves of religion that is merely a formalism. (Isa. 1:15-17) True religion upholds the Bible’s standard of morality and clean speech instead of weakly going along with popular trends. (1 Cor. 5:9-13; Eph. 5:3-5) Its members reflect the fruits of God’s spirit in their lives. (Gal. 5:22, 23) So, those who adhere to true worship can be identified because they sincerely endeavor to apply Bible standards in their lives not only at their places of meeting but in their family life, at their secular work, in school, and in recreation.\n\n(5) Do its members truly love one another? Jesus said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:35) Such love reaches across racial, social, and national boundaries, drawing people together in genuine brotherhood. So strong is this love that it sets them apart as being truly different. When the nations go to war, who have enough love for their Christian brothers in other lands that they refuse to take up arms and kill them? That is what early Christians did.\n\n(6) Is it truly separate from the world? Jesus said that his true followers would be “no part of the world.” (John 15:19) To worship God in a manner that he approves requires that we keep ourselves “without spot from the world.” (Jas. 1:27) Can that be said of those whose clergy and other members are involved in politics, or whose lives are largely built around materialistic and fleshly desires?—1 John 2:15-17.\n\n(7) Are its members active witnesses concerning God’s Kingdom? Jesus foretold: “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.” (Matt. 24:14) What religion is really proclaiming God’s Kingdom as the hope of mankind instead of encouraging people to look to human rulership to solve their problems? Has your religion equipped you to share in this activity, and to do it from house to house as Jesus taught his apostles to do?—Matt. 10:7, 11-13; Acts 5:42; 20:20.

Try finding out what religion you most identify with by putting together what you believe is true (void of influence from any ideas other people put in your head), and their relative importance. This test can let you do that: http://www.selectsmart.com/RELIGION/\n\nOtherwise, I'd suggest a Neopagan religion. Many Neopagans take an eclectic take on faith, and piece together ideals from many different religious philosophies to define for themselves what is reasonable, rational, logical and sensible. I, myself, am an eclectic solitary Wiccan. Here is a site full of various Pagans of various paths from all around the world: http://www.witchvox.com/

The only two religions that teach close to the same God is Judaism and Christianity. All others are vastly different and contradictory. Since they oppose each other-they all can not be the correct one. So, only one can be right. The trick is-which one? We must compare and choose-and hope we are right. Fortunately for people in the western countries, we have the "freedom" and the "resources" to check them "all" out. I personally know a man with 2 doctoral degrees in religion, a D.Min, and a Ph.D. He is an Arab. He is convinced that Christianity is the correct one. I too believe that Christianity is the correct one. I have 2 degrees also in religion, but not a doctorate. I understand that most people in the world do not have a chance to compare religions, or the resources either. Some would have to forfeit their life to change-this is sad. Christian missionaries give their lives to help other people learn about Jesus. They do not do this to raise an army or to overthrow a government, they do it to save lives only. This one fact alone should make people all over the world at least want to examine a religion that cared so much for them that they would die to bring it to them. This is one reason I think my religion is right.

It's important to have the right religion. If you don't go by all bible priciples then what is the point of saying that you are of any religion.

I don't know about "church," but in Christ you will find the real Divinity, not the imagined. The church is the place where the family dynamics work to help you grow into the "new" creation...when it is not just a social club.  Finding the right church is as important as finding the right Jesus.

there is no real right religion. all religions have got it wrong.\n\nthe only way that u'd get into paradise, is by living ur life with kindness, humility and compassion.\n________________\nmr_jaymz19, what if jesus was a weed smokin stoner, and u're following him blindly? \n\nlook, i believe that there was a jesus. i dont necessarily believe that he was the son of god. i believe that he was a kind man, and he KNEW the answers of the universe, but being that mankind is so simpleminded, he had to explain it in terms of "i am god". \ni mean what makes the bible so substantial as a text? it was written by man, and was editted by a controlling patriarchal society who didnt want us to know everything. this is where YOU sunstantiate your claim.\n\nwhat makes the bible so substantial when the bhagvad geeta is much OLDER than the bible.\n\ni mean, do u know that islam and hinduism actually incorporate the belief in jesus christ? they may not say that he is god, but they say that he was a holy man.\n\n do u know that its speculated that jesus received training from holy men in india? that that was where he was when he wasnt mentioned in the bible?\n\ndon't just read the bible and nothing else and assume its the whole truth. that's just choosing to be ignorant, and choosing to be ignorant is a sin against your god.\n\nPS. are u saying that kindness and compassion won't get u into heaven? are u saying that we can just be mean to people but because we believe in god, we will get into heaven?

The truth is in the bible, but God will allow only people with the right heart condition to understand it.  If you really and truly want to know and you pray sincerely about wanting to know the truth, he will show you the way. Nobody can tell you which religion is the right one.  Only God will let you know.\n\nMark 7:6, 7: “He [Jesus] said to them [the Jewish Pharisees and scribes]: ‘Isaiah aptly prophesied about you hypocrites, as it is written, “This people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far removed from me. It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach as doctrines commands of men.”’” (Regardless of whom a group profess to worship, if they hold to doctrines of men instead of the inspired Word of God, their worship is in vain.)\n\nRom. 10:2, 3: “I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God; but not according to accurate knowledge; for, because of not knowing the righteousness of God but seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.” (People may have God’s written Word but lack accurate knowledge of what it contains, because they have not been taught properly. They may feel that they are zealous for God, but they may not be doing what he requires. Their worship is not going to please God, is it?)

That's a very good question.  The answer is that all of the religions in the world are equally valid, because they all teach the same things.  The symbolisim is what's important, and if you take the time to find it, any religion will work for you.

You are absolutely right.   But that is what it requires.  This might sound like a silly answer, but that is what religion or spirituality is based on.... faith, if you don't have it, then what do yo believe in?  But it doesn't really matter, because we should all respect each other no matter what our beliefs are.

The best religion is the one that makes you feel at peace with yourself and your higher power.\n\n(wwr - that comment shows that you truly don't believe in Christ....judge not lest ye be judged yourself)

Christianity is a pick and choose religion.
