I am not a man of faith

Religion, by it's very nature, is so ambiguous. What does it mean? Every major religion claims exclusivity (i.e. they are the only way). So which one will save you? Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Mormonism or Christianity? And if Christianity, which denomination? Baptist, Catholic, Christian Scientist, 7th Day Adventist, Lutheran, Protestant, Presbyterian, Evangelical, Methodist and the like? Which one ultimately answers the question of an afterlife and why? Do we need man or church to reach God? Can other beliefs, like secular humanism, consumerism, or environmentalism be considered religions? Is religion about the eternal and a deity or is it about finding purpose and meaning in something. Does truth reside in us or outside of us? And if we can simply cherry pick pieces of each, everyone believing what's right for them, then what's the point?



These are the questions we are trying to address. Nothing is more important than what you decide to believe or not believe about God. Every civilization throughout the history of mankind has believed in or worshipped some sort of god. So who are we? Why are we here? And where are we going?

I am a little surprised to read this Mr. Old Medic..



I am a Christian and I thought you were too..



Religion is man made, but Christianity is a relationship with God through our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ..



It's a life-changing and life-giving experience.

Man made book, man made religion, universe is infinite PERIOD.



Take a look at the hubble pictures of the universe... Hint: those are galaxies with hundreds of billions of stars and our planet is going around a star/sun.

Overwhelming to say the least.

Of course religion is man made. The bible is a collection of fairy tales and nothing else.

Christianity is a relationship with God through Jesus Christ..



Buddha, Mohammed and Joseph Smith are all dead..



Our Lord Jesus rose from the dead and lives in the hearts of those that love him.

Do we need man or church to reach God?

No.  God is not a physical being, therefore to find Him is within yourself.  You don't need science and hubble telescope to "find" what you are looking for, because it is not visible to the naked eye.  People need to stop looking billions of miles away and look inside themselves....THERE they will find what they are looking for....and this doesn't happen overnight.



Finding God is not something someone can simply explain, we are all on our own journey and we all find him within ourselfs in our own unique way.  Stop listening to the world and it's bullshit and start listening to within yourself.

Our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ did become a physical being..



John 1:14, And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
