What are the basic ideas of your religion/beliefs and why should I follow it?

I am interested in what people believe as I need to find my own. Just a few sentences, or maybe a link to a website, but please explain how it is relevant/important to you, or how you think it will help me.

IF ANYONE SLAMS SOMEONE ELSE'S FAITH IN THIS QUESTION I WILL REPORT IT. You have been warned.

    i think of few christians have any issues of it. there replaced right into a physicist suggested as Fred Hoyle, who had yet another theory. Atheists enjoyed to have self assurance his commerce concept because it did contradict the Bible, because of fact that there could be no start to the creation. besides the fact that it proved to be incorrect. at present many athiestically-susceptible individuals are believing the different universes concept. This seems to be because of fact our Universe has key constants that are set and if diverse there could be issues. So there's a practise if there is largely one Universe that God probably exists because of fact that those sort of constants are so elegantly good. the theory of different universes only seems to be human beings meaning to no longer have self assurance in God, and is going against Occam's razor and basic sense. As a theory it has no evidence.

    You're a bit bossy! I'm Spiritualist. It's a very comforting, close and peaceful faith which advocates treating everyone with respect. The work of Church members who practise is carefully monitored and there is a very strong set of ethics. However, nobody tries to push the faith onto anybody else, and people are free to visit a service without any pressure.

    Actually, you can't follow my faith, not that you're not welcome to. I can't force it on anyone. That's your decision. Follow your own path.

    1) I can't interfere with the free will of others.

    2) I can't withhold knowledge from anyone.

    3) I can't let the first 2 rules conflict as least as possible.

    I'm a Deist. I believe the consciousness of the entire universe is God. I believe God created the Big Bang by knowing it's on consciousness. [ "I think, therefore I am" -Descartes]. I believe all living things have a soul and collectively make up the mind of God. I believe in Karma and Reincarnation. I think of God as the underlying laws and rules of the universe. I see God at the quantum level of all laws. God to me is a Physicist, Geneticist and Mathematician. An ancient book doesn't tell me what to believe. As Science uncovers the laws of the Universe, we uncover God. I also go to science first since I majored in Anthropology.

    There are obviously other ideas such as not stealing or killing. I have a little spice of other beliefs mixed in.

    You should not follow "my" religion/beliefs, they are personalized for me and my walk. My beliefs are as follows

    1. God is Eternal, and never changes(same God of the O.T. as the N.T.)

    2. Mankind was/is duped into sin orchestrated by the Adversary, not one's self(we simply endorse it).

    3. Love fulfills all of God's Laws flawlessly(Selfless Love: Agapao)

    4. Sin simplified is "Selfishness".

    5. God sent His only begotten Son, that whosoever beliveth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus(Yeshua) is Christ(Kristos Gr. Meshiak Heb.)

    6. Mankind can not achieve any good thing on their own, we can only choose iniquity against God's purpose for us(we are only responsible for straying), so no one earns heaven.

    7. All of us are basically ignorant sheep lost in varying degrees, and need each other, and especially our Shepherd's voice to help us come home.

    8. Once we have surrendered to Christ, there is only one thing left to do spread the "good news", to as many as will listen.

    Jesus is the way the truth and the life no one enters the Kingdom of God but through Him. You must ask Him into your life and follow Him to receive life eternal.

    You should only follow a religion if you believe in it.

    God is great & intelligent. God is mysterious. Nature is great & intelligent. Nature is mysterious. Honour the spirits and they shall help you in life. Love one another and love God.

    You can follow it or not follow it, it is your decision. It is not for me to persuade you. Do whatever you feel is right.
