Religion is man made. We all share a need to know.

Some decide to be realist. Some decide to make things up.

Faith is comforting.

And you make things up.

RascalRiley Loc: Somewhere south of Detroit

I write what you do not like.

Parky60 Loc: People's Republic of Illinois

You're right. Who likes things that aren't real?

RascalRiley Loc: Somewhere south of Detroit

Point excepted. The contention is, what is real.

Parky60 Loc: People's Republic of Illinois

Oh... you're so spiritual... NOT!

Why don't you TRULY ask God what is real?... you are without excuse.

Because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. Romans 1:19-20

OK, so what have you done and what are you doing to educate yourself? Obviously, very little.

If religion is man made then it should be easy to gain such knowledge.
If religion is not man made, then you have a problem.

As a starting point, here is a question:

The Abrahamic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - are monotheistic,
the remainder are polytheistic/pagan.
In what way does Christianity differ from all other religions?

Christianity has a get out of sin for free card?

You make things up. Lol

Islam is also a false religion.

No other belief system has the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Which is a great selling point. Sin and forgive, over and over.

Nope you're wrong one has to Confess their sins to Jesus then Repent of those sins >>Turning away from those sin and ask Jesus to come into one's heart and he be their Lord and Savior .

Romans 6:1-14
King James Version

6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Islam is anything but a false religion.
Islam may not embrace the doctrines of Christ, but it certainly accepts Him as a prophet, and its practice fits the very definitions of a religion. Not to mention its descent from Abraham.

Religion is a system of symbols (creeds, codes) by means of which people (a community) orient themselves in the world with reference to both ordinary and extraordinary powers, meanings, and values. A religion is a system of symbols which acts to establish powerful, pervasive and long-lasting moods in men by formulating conceptions of a general order of existence and clothing those conceptions with such an aura of factuality that the moods and motivations seem uniquely realistic. By this definition, even atheism is a religion.

Religion is man seeking God. Or not.

Christianity is something else altogether.

That's why so many want to mock and bad mouth it and it's the only one that many people want to have it destroyed .
