I myself have my own religion. Just want to ask why do you believe in your religion? If you are a muslim you will say that I believe in Allah the almighty one. The only creator of the universe. The powerful one. If you are a christian you will say that I believe in jesus crist the son of the god. The one who sacrifice his soul for us. Many other religion have their own belief. How about you? Why do you choose your religion? Is it because my parent is christian or a muslim a have to be one. I born as a christian and this is my destiny.Is that your reason?

I am a Christian, a Roman Catholic for that matter not by choice, but because I am born into it. I believe in Jesus Christ because my parents, teachers and priests taught me so to believe in Him. I convinced myself that whatever they say is true indeed. I follow my religion because I know without it I would not be able to live as a good human being. I need it to remain upright and righteous as much as I can.

So you have you're religion with from your parents. Because you born from it, no, that is not your religion. That is a religion without a choice. Why not think deeply, for the true religion. A religion of monotheism.

There are traffic rules for better road life decided by the authority. Everybody cannot say: I have my own traffic rules, I will drive in the way I want. I just want to reach where I want to...! NO!
There is an authority and rule for everything, and no rule for the life?
All mobile phone companies will release their user manual, will the motorolla manual will help to use nokia? NO, Will the manual of an old Nokia mobile will help to use a new model? NO! We have to use the manual from the creator or manufacturer for the current time/model.
In the same way for humans as well. The authority for deciding the rules and regulation is the one who created mankind, that is God, and the rule for our time.
There were lot of messages and manuals revealed by the creator God in different times and people. The last edition of the manual for mankind of this time was revealed some years back, and it is known as "Quran". And the demonstrator of the message was Prophet Mohammad. Creator says in the manual that, the manual is prepared in such a way that it is compatible for all humankind till the end of the world (last hour) and Mohammad is the final messenger.
This is the manual we have to follow for our life.
Whoever read this manual in a neutral mind and in quench of understanding the aim and purpose of life will surely realize that it is the correct manual for life from the actual creator of human kind.
Peace.

I don't have one. I love the Allan Kardec's philosophy and that's what I follow but it was given from other higher spirits, it's not his idea.
I don't believe in rituals, that we have to have a place to pray, I think a pray comes from the heart and I do any hour, place or when I want, I think the real religion is to help others.

We need to have a religion to worship our creator. And as a worshiper we need to know which religion is true.

I guess religion is a way to remind us that there is a being far more superior than us. It is a way of acknowledging the fact that we are just a miniscule part of the whole entirety. It is a way to make us humble and accept that we only play a very, very small role in the events taking place in the universe. I had long accepted all this and I need my religion to keep me in place.

I also have my own religion. But it is my personal choice. In fact I have a different religion from my parents. It really help me gain personal encounter and personal relationship with God.

The reason I have a religion is because it gives me a reason why everything happens. It might not be the best reason, but it's my reason. I was brought up Christian, and I have stayed Christian, not because that was how I was brought up, but because it is something I can relate to for anything.
