Which religion do you believe in?

[Anonymous]

I'm in the questioning phase, I have questions in my mind and I can't find the answers, I guess I don't believe in any religion right now.

[strateguy632]

the SHORTCUT method: which are able to convince many followers?
Islam a billion, christian 2 billion, but hindu and atheist have no proof to attract people and failed to attract people.
from these which used force instead of proof? only protestant christian remains as an option, with around 1.1 billion.

[Asker]

So u are christian?

[strateguy632]

yes protestant. ex-rabbi now pastor.

[Asker]

oh I get it I am a ex Muslim, but I don't know where I will end up, for now I just feel a sense of emptiness.

[strateguy632]

if you wanna know if a book is from god, take an unlikely prediction, claimed as prophecy, if it happens, it strengthens the claim.

[Asker]

You are right, by the way, I read the Quran, you read the Bible, I read the Torah, I went to churches, the people there were good to me, I have been going to the mosque since I was a child, I went to synagogues, I wanted to learn what people believe, and I researched it constantly. As you know, I was a Muslim and I was reading the Quran since I was a child, but then some questions started to appear in my mind and some contradictions, so I don't believe it anymore There is a God, I believe in that but When I learned that the Quran was not a book full of miracles as we were taught, I was disappointed and stopped believing.

And yet somehow the number of religious believers is continuously dropping in the developed world. I wonder why that is?

[jshm2]

If you don't know where you're going, then any direction will do.

You need to get your shit together first, rather than hope some prince is going to come save you.

Religion is about dedication and devotion. Two things you're not even close to. It's also why dimwits who "hate" religion tend to be miserly and untrustworthy people, as they see themselves as the "centre" of the world.

[Siri137]

I don't "believe" any religion, but there is much within Christianity that I agree with, but of course much that I disagree with as well. It's the religion I can most easily relate to though. At the moment I'm reading Psalms, which is very different from most of the rest of the Bible, both Old and New Testaments.

[jennifer_bloom]

I believe the pursuit of love and faith in God is the heart beat of every faith. Wisdom exists to protect you but love is used to guide you.

[Foreveralonevirgin]

I don't believe in religion. It is man-made, and a lot of people use it to push dogmas that are based on belief and not science or lived experiences. I believe in God, and I go to churches to strengthen my relationship with god, but I don't believe anything that is man-made to be god. They change the meanings of stuff all the time, so I don't believe in religion, but God yes I believe in.

[Paul09]

Now that's confusing. Man created religions, man created gods. So you believe in Half of the made up crap?

[Agagagagaga]

@Foreveralonevirgin Are you also a gymnast in real life or just one in your head?

[TGNorth]

This is what I tell all my friends who don’t believe or have questions-

1. Ask questions. It’s a good thing

2. Pray and ask God to reveal himself

you don’t have to do a “good” prayer. You could literally say “God if you’re real- show me”. I PROMISE you. You will see. When things happen like a promotion or an unexpected or unexplainable thing happens (which it will ❤️) you will know who it’s coming from. Then- you pursue more. Ask more questions. Read the Bible. Just ask. You will see. And honestly I’m so excited and curious as to what he’s going to do.. it’s always so fun to see. Prayers for you sis. If you have any sort of hope that He is real— mannnn he’s going to do something so cool. Just wait. ❤️❤️❤️ by the way every. single. time. My friends finally did it- it changed their life.

[Drew-1990]

I am Christian and believe in God and that Jesus Christ died taking our sins. Religion is not perfect because humans are involved who ruin God's plan and design for us. Churches and people argue and disagree because we are human, we have different interpretations and understanding of what we believe in the same faith and instead of talking rationally we argue. I believe every single religion and faith, including atheist, does this sadly. I believe faith is very important.

[HaveNoName]

Do not thibk in terms of religion. Think on terms of the creator; if you beloeve i rhe creator, think why he created you? What was the purpose? What happens after you die? When that starts making sense, read the holy books and see which one makes the most sense, and has a clear message. Which holy book clearly seems to be the word of God and not a set of stories told by human beings.

DM me if you want help.

[BCRanger10]

I am a Christian, specifically a traditional Roman Catholic.

[Lara_Croft]

Well. Jesus is my Lord and Savior and he's proven himself countless times as the son of God and head of all principality and power Colossians 2 vs 10 in his Word, in the world and in my life

[JacobJordan]

None. And I do mean that in the literal sense. I believe in nothing

[Tamera952]

None. Religion is harmful to your health and wellbeing.

[normalice]

Whichever one demonstrates the magic they claim first is the one ill believe in.

[Revolutioner_83]

i am agnostic. why not atheism because I can't answer that why universe is exist

[slatyb]

None. You are far from alone. There are millions of non-believers.

[strateguy632]

millions, seems many, but 9 million is a drop compared to:
There are about 488 million Buddhists worldwide" and that is a smaller religion.

[slatyb]

@strateguy632 Only 9 Million? There are about 90 million "nones" in the United States alone.

[Paul09]

I never believed in any of it. Silly to believe in things that don't exist. That controls the way you live your life. MAN created all this nonsense. To control population with fear.

[FunkyMonkee]

None. I don't waste my time with that hokey bullshit.

[DextroShade]

Either there is no God and our universe was born of chaos or it was created by "God" for his own entertainment and nothing more.

[strateguy632]

you Can't know motives or thoughts.

[DextroShade]

@strateguy632 whenever humans create worlds whether through literature, film, or video games it is for our entertainment. No game dev creates a game full of characters just so they could worship him.

[OddBeMe]

And do you think you will choose a religion? If so, based on what?

[Asker]

I think, I won't choose.. but it makes me sad

[OddBeMe]

Whew! You have chosen wisely.

Intellectually we shouldn’t choose what’s real. It should be obvious what’s proven fact.

[Asker]

Unfortunately, the proven truth is not clear, I have the utmost respect for anyone who believes in any religion who comments here, but I have done enough research and I have not found any evidence that any holy book is the word of god. As a former believer, this is truly disappointing to me.

[OddBeMe]

How is it that you see no evidence in religions but not the religious you he respect for!

[OddBeMe]

* ? not !

[Asker]

I did not understand you

[OddBeMe]

What makes you better than them…. that you figured out their religious books have no facts, but they can’t?

[Asker]

I did not said I am better than them,
for me there is no facts, for them there is facts and they will believe

Everyone's way of thinking is different, and I'm not superior to them just because I don't believe.

[OddBeMe]

That makes no sense. Either there are facts are not.

Either they know it or you do. They think less of you for not believing, fyi.

[John_And_Elijah]

True authentic Christianity. This does not include Roman Catholicism
