i agree that some people are making religion a business immoral as it may seem but its true there are many religions coming out of nowhere all of a sudden you just here certain types of groups gathering in some place and worshipping a god thay have named in who knows what language and says the prophecy is near. you know stuff like that. its just really annoying because it's just all crap. i really think people should stop this kind of immorality. they should respect god and not make "money" their "god."

There is only one true religion. And it is the one whom God himself established through his son, Jesus Christ. The best was of trying to find out the true religion is to test their doctrines against the bible. You have to be careful not to be mislead. Everything about their doctrine should be backed-up by verses in the bible. Another thing you could do is to test the religious leaders if they truly have the guidance of the Lord in their ministry. Ask them questions regarding the faith that they have and if it does comply with what is written on the Bible. If they are afraid not to be tested, then it's already a sign that they are doing it just for the business.

My religion: Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. -- James 1:27 I hope you got the message I want to get to you...

i don't believe in any form of religion or religion itself. in fact, i think that religion causes the most violent outrages of this world, as most of the human wars were rooted from religion. but if you ask me if i believe in god. yup, because i still don't believe that the world poppped out from nowhere. somebody has created the world, and its a superpower. and i believe its god.

I am a Christian and I follow the Christian religion in the Holy Bible. There are really so many religions and as the Bible says, it is being made a big business. However, if you understand your religion, you would not at all be affected by whatever people do as they are free to do what they want. What matters, for me, is that I obey God and follow His Word which is the truth which is the Holy Bible.

I believe in my relationship with Jesus Christ the term religion is like saying I have a marriage agreement with my wife not a relationship with my wife based on love and trust religion is hollow and yes is a business, people busy building their religion and not a relationship with the father Son and Holy Ghost have head knowledge of them, when what we have should be real and personnel don't take other peoples Ideas develop your own relationship and religion will peel away.
