since your trying to find yourself maybe you should try looking into all kinds of religions and seeing which one you feel faith in when you think about it for me I am a christian in a hindu home it was pretty hard to find myself but if i can do it it can't be that hard (my parents do not know of my religion)

No, having a religion wont make you distinguish from right or wrong.

Being religious doesnt make you happier, but certanly takes alot of stress of your shoulders because you dont constantly question your existance.

If you want guidelines for what is right or wrong, you should look for an adult that you might think is a good person, and it is willing to help you. it doesnt have to be a religious person.

God according to christianity loves everyone even if you have sinned.

According to christianity, God is everywhere and is everything, so pretty much he should hear you wherever you are.

The best religion in my opinion is all of them if is followed exactly how it is said. Only to live a good life. This doesnt mean you cannot be a part of a religion and still live a good life.

You should not think about making point to heaven or holy, just focus on being a good person, no matter what, and most important respect others and demand respect from others.

Talk to God without thinking in any religion. Religion is not God. Religion is a series of rituals to honor God.

Here's something to start with:

http://www.religionfacts.com/big_religion_chart.htm



There is no "right religion". Religions are like parts of an elephant... http://www.newreformation.org/elephant.htm



You have all the guidelines of what's right and wrong inside you. Your conscience tells you what is right and what is wrong, and that's quite enough. That's the only guideline even religious people use. That's why there's a lot of people who claim to be this and that and blatantly violate the rules of their religion. They will always have an explanation why their conscience is more right than their religion's rulebook.



It is not true that being religious makes you happier. Being who you are and being satisfied with that makes you happy. So, ONLY IF you are religious, being religious makes YOU happier than being non-religious.



God loves everyone. God created everyone and God doesn't see right and wrong as we do.

Even rapists and other bad dudes have a place in the Divine Plan.



God hears you how ever you pray.



I don't have any preferences in religions. They all have good and bad sides. I have created my own religion from the good parts, but my religion wouldn't fit for all.



Look at examples. Who do you think is holy and heaven-worthy? What of his/her actions make it so? Try to be like him/her.



No, you don't need a certain religion to love and talk to God. Religions are man-made. All you need is to believe there's a God to love, who loves you back, and who hears you.

There is no best religion.Religion is man-made.Jesus did not come to bring religion.Turn to the bible for your guidelines for what god says is right and wrong.It is the ten commandments.God does not hate the rapist he hates the act of rape.God will hear you pray in your own words.Some people pray in tongues.They dont understand what they are saying but they ask the holy spirit to come into them and help them pray that way.The holy spirit knows what to say.You can start being more heaven worthy by believing that Jesus christ lived and died for you in order for you to be more closer to god.Read John 3:16 in the bible.God loves for you to talk to him.Just like you would talk to an old friend.Tell him all about your worries and tell him that you want to know him better.You dont have to belong to any religion.Just confess that Jesus is lord of your life,and also get babptized in his name.If you want to go to church go to a good bible based church and go to bible classes to help you learn of gods word.

Read the Holy Bible, get yourself a New Living translation, it is written in plain modern English and is the easiest to understand.



God hears your prayers. God loves all of us. He hates the sin.



Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through him. Find a good Christian church that goes by the Holy Bible. Like a Calvary Chapel. God bless you. He loves you very much.

Being religious can make you happier, but its goal is provide you the structure to make you closer to God. God loves every body that is why He sent his Son to die on the cross to pay humanities sin debt. When you repent of your sins and accept Jesus into your heart and make Him Lord of your life then you have become a Christian and a follower of Christ. This is all that you need to do to become heaven worthy.

God hears all prayers but prayer is not a magic formula where if you pray you will get what you want. I believe that Christianity is the way to talk to God and gain entrance into heaven. I am a Baptist, but I believe that God does not limit heaven to just Baptists. He will let any one believes in Jesus into His kingdom.



False religions will lead you astray and provide a false hope.

They include Mormons, Islam, Jehovah Witnesses, Zen, Hindi, Moonies.



God bless you.

1. why not make your own guidelines based off what YOU think is right and wrong?

2. any system of belief has the potential to make you happier by giving you a sense of direction, with or without a god along for the ride.

3. according to religion, yes he loves rapists, and Hitler too.

4. if you believe in god, than yes.

5. whatever religion that allows you to be yourself....oh wait, none of them do..

6. heaven worthy? well, looking back on islamic and christian history, you'll have to massacre ALOT of people in the name of God.

7. according to the religions, yes you do.



Religion is the opiate of the masses. Actually read the bible start to finish and then try and come back saying God is loving..

There is no right or wrong way to worship or pray to God, though some people/religions will try to tell you otherwise.



As for trying to find a church, I would say choose the one that makes the most sense to you with regards to their beliefs. Read up on some religions or denominations, or try to talk with pastors/ministers, or even people you know that practice a certain faith to figure out where you fit in.



Also, there is no one right religion either....*sigh* religion is a very complicated thing haha



Good luck on your journey

i'm going to purpose to place this exact - the concern you 2 are having isn't approximately faith. that's approximately HIS ideals approximately his new faith. i'm (born and raised) Christian, my husband is (born and raised) Muslim, so i'm talking from a place of journey. My husband and that i've got not got any problems with the version in religions with the aid of fact we appreciate each and each others' ideals. My husband believes strongly interior the want of God, yet he might by no ability slap me interior the face. He and that i might by no ability settle for all people saying that hitting somebody is the want of God!! i ponder whether your boyfriend may well be keen to bypass communicate with a distinctive Imam - actual Muslims are very plenty against violence. additionally, my Muslim guy does not attempt to alter me or insist that he's often suitable. i might advise taking a step back out of your boyfriend for a speedy time. that's not uncommon for brand new converts to be slightly greater 'religious' than others. consistent with danger whilst he's been Muslim slightly longer, he would be extremely much less severe in his perspectives. If no longer, heavily re-evaluate the relationship. think of roughly while you're keen to stay with him like that. you're youthful, and "something of your existence" will maximum possibly be a looooong time. And have confidence me, additionally talking from journey, a destroy up now's plenty greater common than a divorce later.

you don't need a religion to tell you right from wrong. if the wish to harm others is in your nature you have a mental problem and religion will not cure it.



being religious never made me any happier, i feel much better as an atheist.



i don't believe in god, so i can't say how to talk to it.



no religion is the best religion.





i don't believe in god, so i can't say how to be more holy or heaven worthy.



atheist, no.

So I know this "guy" named Jesus who i have alot of question about and for, like whats the right religion?

There are many religions which have many different beliefs and gods. It seems that you are interested in Christianity and undecided about the various denominations. When you know Jesus, you will realize He is God, not a guy, and you must respect Him as such.



I'm 13 and my parents believe in god but dont pray, go to church, or celebrate God. I wish I had a religion so I could have more guidlines about whats right and wrong.

That's unfortunate for your parents, but fortunate for you, because they have not led you in a wrong direction as most of our parents have. You have an opportunity to find the truth for yourself and lead them to salvation.

What is right is what doesn't harm others, as Jesus said, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Treat everyone with the same respect you would like for yourself. Christian religions all generally preach that, but they have many differences of doctrine, professed beliefs from the Bible or traditions that are not taught in the Bible or are contradictory to its teachings.



Is it true that being religious makes you happier?

That depends on what type of person you are, whether you enjoy hurting people or helping them. Someone who finds it difficult to follow the ten commandments would not be happy (nor would they be happy in heaven), and someone who naturally follows them should be happy, as you said, to have guidelines they respect.



Does god love rapist and other bad dudes?

Everyone sins, and sin is breaking God's law, the ten commandments, no matter which one. God forgives all sin that we regret and make an earnest effort to stop, if we ask, because He loves us. Jesus suffered an agonizing death to redeem us from our own consequence, if we believe in Him; that is, if we have faith in His word and prove it by our actions. James 2:19. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead.



Does God hear me if I pray in my own way.

God knows everything we do or think, but the Bible tells us to pray in Jesus' name. Some "Christian" churches teach to pray to dead "saints" of their choosing and Mary, an example of tradition contrary to the Bible. So, yes, God hears, but He does not listen to your prayer if your way is contrary to what He desires; however, other than that, you are free to pray pretty much in your own way; you don't have to follow any man's instruction.



What is the best religion in your opinion?

Christianity which follows Bible doctrine rather than man's traditions. The ten commandments are listed in Exodus 20. Don't be talked into disobeying or trying to change or alter any of them. Pay particular attention to God's requirements regarding the sabbath. Most denominations ignore the fourth commandment and insist that it was changed. Nowhere in the Bible is any change mentioned.

Man cannot alter the commandments of God. Revelation calls these churches harlot daughters of the whore from which they were born, spiritually unfaithful churches. "Come out of her (them) my people."



Where and how do I start being more holy and heaven worthy?

Since Christianity teaches that you can only get to heaven through Jesus Christ, follow Jesus instruction: Search the scriptures, for they testify (witness) of me.



Do you have to have a certain religion to love and talk to god?

If you want to love and talk to the Christian God, then you must follow the Bible rather than the traditions of man. Beware of "certain" religions, wolves dressed in sheep's clothing. Matthew 15:3. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 9. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

"Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy."

I wish I had a religion so I could have more guidlines about whats right and wrong



You don't need Religion to teach you that...It's called common sense



No religion does not make you happier...Does being drunk make you smarter?



God is not real, so an imaginary being is incapable of loving anything



Best religion? is no religion



No God is not real

At that age, your parents are the ones who should still be teaching you the guidelines to life. You should be going to them and asking for help

Religion is not something of God but something of Man (people). Christ came to be Life and I enjoy Him as such. This life within leads those who enjoy it accordingly...

Perspectivism offers you this. Perspectivism says that there is no right and wrong. Only different perspectives(points of views).
