That's because Christians often don't see Christianity as a religion lah... They often see it as a relationship with GOD.. Though his words that he HATE religions (meaning the other religions lor..) might be a bit harsh... But still.. It's his own view what..? He have the rights to hate anything?Originally posted by the Bear:he says he hates religions...
and in the same breath, he pushes his own..
i stand by my words as FACTS and not as a personal attack...
There's no lying or no lying... Just his beliefs and yours...

no....

Whatever it is, I won't take side cause I've got no religion of my own...
If things get too senstive or ugly, I'll just close this topic... -

when i say i hate religions...i mean ALL religion including Christian sounding religions!
follow some rules...attend some church and read Bible.....kneel when told to kneel.....bow when need to bow.....make sign of cross ....
come on! God dont wanna see a bunch of religious hypocrites! He wants ur life, your devotion to Him and an intimate relationship with Him. He can send us a person to teach us 101 things ways of religions...the bible could well be just a rules and regulation book. But He didnt.
He gave us His Son to reconcile Man back to Himself, He reveal Himself thru the Bible and how in this love pursue He came as a human being. -
turning to God and rejoins Him under any circumstances(be it trouble or lost) is an opportunity, nt seen as a solution which in itself may reflects blind faith.Originally posted by audlenelee:u shdn't get a religion just becoz u're feeling lost... religion is not a solution... -
Shall we meet up someday and found what one another is saying?Originally posted by NeonTetra:u do not know wat u say.... -
Religious are weird. Religious often consists of a creator and we are often seen as their product. Let take Christianity for example as usual. Okay, don't argue with me Christianity is not a religion. When making my IC, the person asked "Religion?" Then my mother replied for me Christian. Oh whatever, back on topic.
Lets look at it this way, if God created us, why did he created us? If you look at it at a positive way, you can say because he want to share life to the people. But since he created us, won't we be part of him by default? And since if this is so, isn't he sharing with himself. Look at it in a positive way, he feels bored and needs some company, entertainment. So he created us. And since the first of our kind, Adam and Eve betrayed his trust and he does not bear to kill them so he sealed us away from him. To him we are just like a show.
See, there are many loopholes in religions. -
I think if u go thru every religion, their history, their literature, like what some researchers did, there are many loopholes or unanwered questions especially when it could be regarding some point in the course of founding of a religion.
Another point will be the principles, the essence, the views of each religion. Many like atheists would argue against the existence of God or supernatural beings, or even certain taboos - like why is pig not to be touched or consumed in Islam.
If one were to be like these people and start debating about it, there will be no end.
What, and usually (thankfully) is enshrined in many country's constitution is the right to practise one belief, without of course the usual threat to national security and peace.
What is bugging me is that many who come to me and say i am sinful, and should repent...according to their beliefs. Worse when they know my beliefs, they still do it, in very provocative manner. I think what people gotta learn to be very sensitive to others beliefs and try as much as not to intrude or trod down on their religions. -

Getting out of topic guys... Please help Torx with his decision of whether picking up a religion because he's feeling down is a recommendable thing and state your valid reasons... Thanks...

torx...
i gather you are what is termed a "free-thinker" now..
as for matters of religions, what is most necessary is faith...
because you feel lost, a religion may not fill that void...
but it may be a start... some religions may give you a direction for yourself, where to go and what you want to do to better yourself...
all religions mainly teach the same things... be good to others and yourself, service to others and faith...
maybe you could do well to read about all the faiths, and you can just wander into the places of worship.. or make a phonecall to them... make an appointment and talk to the religious who run the places...
i'm sure a priest, iman, rabbi, pastor or monk will only be too glad to talk to you about their faith...
in the meantime, like i said to someone else from a song:
we're all searching for deliverance
when there ain't nowhere to run
lay your spirit down easy
coz we're always gonna be
a little lost sometimes
