Religion, o god?

[EminemK]

That is great, Getting religion is not a bad choice, even I don't believe in any religion alike. It is personal right to make a choice or not.

I grew up in a home where my parents believed in God, and my mother taught me much about him by her example. I personally decided to act on what I had learned from her as well as my Church meetings. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (some people say Mormons), and was taught much about God there as well. In our Church we believe that people are entitled to know for themselves whether or not what is in the scriptures or what is taught to us is true.

How did I come to know if God is real? Two things that helped me find out for myself are 1) personal and sincere prayer, and 2) studying His words in the scriptures. After some time and effort in doing these two things, I have come to feel within myself that God is real and that He does hear and answer our sincere and heartfelt prayers. Yes, I was taught this growing up, but I have "proved (him) herewith" (Malachi 3:10) and I now know for myself that God lives, that we are His children, and that he love us and answers our prayers.

Fixed the topic title.

Personally, I'm agnostic, I have yet to find a religion I think makes any sense to me, and personally I don't think it would really be possible for mankind to posit a divine being or beings with any accuracy at all - so the entire exercise is outdated and pointless to my mind. That's not to say I believe there can't be any higher being, the possibility exists - though I think not in the ways we've guessed.

Basically, I'm sitting on the fence, and don't think there's really anything which would convince me one way or the other - because I'm naturally critical of most things.

Alex, I must respect you not condemning one belief or the other, but I wonder if you were more open to the idea of God being real if you would see it. I see no reason not to believe in Him. I do understand how you feel when saying, "I don't think it would really be possible for mankind to posit a divine being or beings with any accuracy at all." I don't think man, alone, can do this either. I do believe, however, that God does speak to man, and by so doing reveals himself unto us. Do you believe the words of the Bible at all? Just curious. I am quite critical of things myself, and I love to analyze them. I have come to know there is a God, and that he loves His children with a perfect love, and wants the best for them.

Thanks for your post!

Please can you explain why? Not only is religion a pile of provable nonsense,Islam is the most obnoxious form of it. After 9/11 who the heck would want to be muslim? And what about the pair who killed their own daughter for being "too Western?" - There is no such thing as God.

In what way do you generate pride from being one of the most ignorant people on the planet?

I personally think that people should respect the beliefs of others whatever they are as long as they do no harm. There's the "Bad" every where and every time where ever you go, so you don't have to talk as a whole about Christians, Muslims, Jews.. etc this way for someone's doings. It might not be one person but I think you already got what I mean. Everyone has the right to believe what they will and express what they believe sometimes as you and the others did, so please don't start arguing about the religions this way here.

As a kid I was Christian. Later as I developed a mind of my own I quickly notice something is wrong with most religions among the world and I don't really belive in neither of them.
I'm Agnostic now.

I believe in god's existence but i don't believe in Jesus Christ. I believe, Who ever helps me when i'm in bad or difficult situation is my god...! He might be a stranger comes from nowhere and helps me out my my problem...! I truly believe in that and that happened to me...!!
