Question: How strong do you think your faith is!.!.!.!?
First of all, this question is not for the weak hearted, so if you are easily offended don't answer!.
Now, when we sit down and consider what we KNOW about religion any person with moderate intelligence can see we don't KNOW anything!. So, how do you know that what you believe in is correct!. In other words, how do you know that what you believe to be good is actually bad!? If Lucifer is indeed so deceitful, how do we know that what we perceive as God is not actually Satan's work!. When answering, try to be unbiased about it!. Consider who has told you everything you know about religion and ask yourselves if it is really a reliable source!. Don't preach to me the Sunday sermon; really think about this one!.!.!.

If truly we are fallen beings living in a fallen universe, as the Bible suggests, then we can't know anything with certainty!. Things may have been twisted in such a way that the truth has been hidden!. Even if we believe we can penetrate the morass, perhaps by our own evil nature we deceive ourselves!.
Your prayers have been answered!? This is Satan decieving you into believing you have power!.
You get a warm fuzzy feeling inside!? Satan can appear as a being of light!.
God has inspired you to do a good deed!? Your actions will end up triggering WWIII!.
And so on!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
All I know is there is a god, although evolution sounds plausible but it's hard thinking planets appear by colliding meteors and life just appears, to me that doesn't change!. About religion however I don't belong to any, simply because I don't trust people easily!. Especially the holy books they've probably been edited before multiple time before it was put together, in order to control people because no one would question what "god says"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
when i look up into the night sky and see the creation spread before me, or feel a girls stomach while the child within her womb is kicking and later hold that child in my arms i realize that none of this happened by accident and i see the work of the master creator, and know in my heart that THE ONE AND ONLY GOD that created this also created me, there is no doubt in my soul of his existence and that i and the rest of the universe are HIS creations!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Life is not a court! Our lives are not judges and our heart is not law!!!.
I say that who are we to judge our lives who are we to say that my faith is 100% right the Savior god is the right person to judge us then why do we take that responsibility from him and judge ourselves!.
However its better for us to be patient and wait for the moment when we reach heaven!.
The balance of right or wrong in our life will be measured there and be given the fruits accordinglyWww@QuestionHome@Com
I know my faith is strong enough to do everything that is my purpose to do!. This is from experience, but it helps when I have recited the 23rd psalm when things got pretty scary!. Thursday sermon!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Dude, that's why it is called FAITH! It requireth not reason!. (Hooray, the answer is in the question!.!.!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com
Long ago, religion ruled over all, and everything was answered by religion!. This was known as the theological stage, as stated by Auguste Comte!. However, we are now in the scientific stage, where we use logic to solve our problems!.
So now, it's completely normal to ask questions about what is real and what is not!. So, allow me to give you the best answer I can!.
No, we don't know if religion is right!. We don't know what is wrong and right to begin with!. However, societies that have accepted have also accepted their values, such as the ten commandments in christianity!.
I personally don't believe in any absolute right and wrong, but I have my own morals that have been shaped in my short eighteen years of life, so I believe that many values of religion can help guide us to live good lives!. Certainly not everything should be followed to the letter, and I don't believe in the stories as facts or histories, but many stories in the bible can help us lead good lives!. Many will disagree with me, but this is what I've come to believe!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
