is all religion based on fabrication?

No not all but most because there can only be one truth, when God speaks through his Word the Bible, it can only have one meaning, the rest r all fabrications like the manufacturers manual for a product how many do they have for each product? and if that manual is fabricated to the customers desire would the manufacturer say they would still fix the product if it stops working I wouldn't think so, just try it next time you buy something and see!It's either true or it isn't there can't be hundreds of truths to the same thing can there!

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.

Considering everything we do know that religions have supported, nothing would surprise me.  I would be more curious to know what has not been perpetrated in the name of religion.

Everyone and everything was made by God. Look around you. Do you think that everything could be how it is without God? There is an obvious creator for everything to fit like it does.

no.  everyone believes in something different when it comes to things that cannot be proven (ie monotheism/polytheism).  and you might not want to quote something from someone biased.

Witchcraft is as real as religion. Religion is a fraud.

I think that all things are from god and the devil merely manipulates them. This is how he deceives us.\n\n Good Luck and God Bless!!

There is no logical or perfect religion.\n\nThey are almost all based on the idea that people need the approval of supernatural beings. This idea, in and of itself, is illogical as there are no such things as supernatural entities, much less ones that care about whether you work on Sunday or use the F-word.

no, because those with the most creative and and popular religion get to spread their genes and message, even though the most creative religion is monotheism [,Islam, Judaism, Christianity.. etc...] it lets you concentrate all of your creative  reasoning ability on one subject so only one GOD takes the credit and sometimes [wrongly] the blame! like Einstein said 'creativity is more important than knowledge and the simplest explanation is the correct one!'

I don't see how this question was referring to Jesus, or Christianity, or any specific religion for that matter. Let's not overcomplicate things here. The question is much simpler than that. I, personally, used to believe that there is no God. But upon more serious reflection, I am finding it more difficult every day to believe that all of the intricacies and intense beauty in the world are one gigantic coincidence. Even the most intelligent and creative human being would be incapable of creating something that even comes close to the aesthetic and biological intensity that nature displays. Therefore, who are we to be so certain that it was all just an accident? Is everything so black and white? Does everything need to be set in stone to deserve our consideration? So far, I haven't seen an answer against God here that isn't lazy and oversimplified.

Not all religions are, just a lot of them. And yes, it's a great way to control people, I'm sure that's partly why they were created.

Religion isn't based off of proof.\nIt's based off of faith.

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.

Of course it's all made up, if someone stood on a hill now and started preaching about how god came to him and told him how we should live our lives, nobody would listen, he'd be locked up and called insane.\n\nReligion is based on BLIND faith and is all about controlling people. The truth is it can not be proved or disproved whether a god exists, and the universe carries on functioning in the same way whether a god controlls it or not, so belief in any god is redundant and irrational.

Yes. I have researched Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity (orthodox, mostly), Islam, Zoroastrian (tho there is not much info out there), and many other ancient religions. I've learned that we are alike in our general beliefs for how a person should live (such as not to lie, kill, cheat, etc.). I've also learned that most of our differences lie in how we worship of how we attain truth, faith, and God.\n\nHere is a quote from Kahlil Gibran translated, "...each religion is merely a drop in the ocean of what is True faith..." - the human mind cannot grasp all that is there....

0%, no one religion holds the entire truth...
