Truckpusher:First, it is absolutely false and preposterous to keep selling this bogey that religion is a useful tool to control the conscience of the masses. How can you make that statement when you had already agreed that religion has been contributing to the horrors of history? Let me correct you by pointing out that religion is a useful tool to control and manipulate the primitive instincts of humans such as fear , irrational selfishness, hatred, hypocrisy, etc. It is also laughable that you think people need the fear of a wrathful god in order to be good. History disproves of this, and our present day Nigeria also refute this. Secondly , I did grow up with children of atheists as neighbors and friends. Although I was the one who showed primitive hostility towards them, their characters and attitudes were exemplary and often shamed me. Thirdly, we know today of secular nations with large atheist population with far more moral and ethical loftiness than their god-infested counterparts. So , I have no idea what you are talking about.. 11 Likes |

Though our parents introduced us to Christianity from small, i love it and that was the best decision they ever made... My religion is the best or right one because i feel secured in Christianity and as a Christian. If Jesus could die for me on the cross, then he deserves my worship and i bless God that Im a part of the Christian community. |

Slitz:No mam, Everyone creates god to suite his / her own needs, prejudices , fears and hopes. Then they try to persuade, blackmail or force others to submit to their mental creations. This is why kind people create a kind and loving god, wicked people create wicked wrathful gods, greedy people create greedy and needy god that demands financial tributes and slave tax christened "tithes", seed sowing, first fruits, etc. To each human proclivity has it's own commensurate and befitting god. 2 Likes |

You don't sample religion like you sample your wears. Christianity is where and what i wanna die with...I cannot imagine changing my religion to any other, I won't just fit in....I done turn pastor so the thing dey my blood. I can't even imagine it... plaetton: |

Re: How Do You Know Your Religion Or Denomination Is The Right One by Nobody: 2:19am On Dec 14, 2014 |
That is your business bro....I don't care if you feel secure or not. All i did was to state why i love Christianity, why i can never ever change also... The worship experience only,the rhema, the songs,the tears, all that and more makes me believe...I can't trade my faith for any other. That is where i want to die. denigma2: |

tebirim:I am not arguing with fact that you are happy and contented Christian. My point is that before you can come out and claim that what you have is the best there , it is imperative to have an experience of the comparatives. 2 Likes |
Re: How Do You Know Your Religion Or Denomination Is The Right One by Nobody: 2:28am On Dec 14, 2014 |
Sorry bro, you still did not make sense. I don't know about your religion, but in Christianity we don't do that. We don't serve two just one which is our lord Jesus Christ the head of the church and the only begotten son. Let this mind be in you, you shall serve no other God,for i the lord I'm a jealous God. If i have a strong conviction as such,then trying or doubting if Jesus is real or not amounts to nothing. plaetton: |

Nothing good comes out of religion. If you are religious,you are probably less evolved than the average human. Evolution is a continuous process. I hope all religious people benefit from it soon. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Exactly my brother... Jesus's words have elude me and praises have consumed my lips. It is too late to try another or taste them. Not even for 30 minute. Weah96: |
Re: How Do You Know Your Religion Or Denomination Is The Right One by plaetton: 2:44am On Dec 14, 2014 |
tebirim:You still don't get it. I don't care how highly you think of your religion, because that is expected. My point, which continues to elude you, dovetails with the op's question. Since you have never been a Muslim, never been a Hindu, never been a Buddhist, Shintoist or practiced any African traditional religions, you are not competent to make any public claim about the superiority of your religion, a religion, which I am assuming, was forced- fed on you long before you were capable of articulating your own thoughts as an individual human. 9 Likes 1 Share |

tebirim:As an irreligious person, I have taken an unbiased study of all major religions both from a historical and contemporary view. That is how I figure that a Christian from birth is not competent to speak on the correctness , incorrectness or validity of any religion. Saying that you love and are happy with your religion is fine, but you are the least competent to have make comparative claims about other religions. That's my point. 6 Likes |
Re: How Do You Know Your Religion Or Denomination Is The Right One by Nobody: 2:57am On Dec 14, 2014 |
You still made no point. You have your reasons for not belonging to any, but my brother, you need to have an identity. That identity is in Jesus. Let me sleep a little. plaetton: |

1. The Quran 29:46 'Dispute not with the People of the Book (Christians and Jews) save in the fairer manner, except for those of them that do wrong; and say, 'We believe in what has been sent down to us, and what has been sent down to you; our God and your God is One, and to Him we have surrendered.' 2. The Jewish Torah Isaiah 9:6 'For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace'. 3. The Christian New Testament John 14:6 'Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me'. Remember Judaism came before Christianity. The prophets predicted about a saviour (Jesus means saviour) King that will save the world from sin that is to come. Jesus was rejected by the Jews because he did not come from a major tribe or born in riches. But the Torah had predicted this. Secondly Islam VALIDATES Christianity and Judaism. It calls them 'People of the Book' and clearly states that they have the true revelation and do not require a new one. The true validity test of a man is not what he says about himself. Its what others say about him. The 3 major religions in the world beside Buddhism are Christianity, Judaism and Islam. All 3 validate Christianity in their scriptures in SEVERAL VERSES AND CHAPTERS not only the ones I quoted above. Now if you know the principle of the research methodology, you don't need anyone to tell you CHRISTIANITY IS THE WAY. |
