But all in all, God has nothing to do with religion. Placing God in "religion" is like in a sense putting God on a shelf, to bring down just when you need him. |

Exactly bro, Religions are made by men for grouping them self & is a result of their insecurity feelings. As you correctly said,Those who don't believe in god usually terms as religious to those who believe in god. In their opinion they becomes non-religious just because they don't believe in god. |

God was there and always has been there, he once walked with man. Until man turned away from him. When man turned away from him, "atheism" then could start. So if anything is a "religion" and or a "belief" it would be atheism. |

Religions are not made or decided by god or no one else than men.Religions are made for social security only. Thanks for clearing that you are speaking with some religions point of view.It means that you are religious,I totally respect your religious belief but ain't agree with your point that religions are made by god. |

You look sincerely for God, you will find God. One just casually looks for God, they will not find God. They will not, because as soon as they have found God, Satan then starts putting doubt in the person and causing things to happen in their lives resulting in more doubt. Once one truly has found God, there is nothing that can separate the two. |

God is the truth, a "religion" is merely a belief. People that lack the faith of God, then places "God" into religion, for it puts it on a "belief" system and doesn't have to be absolutely the truth, justifying their lack of faith therein. |

Once one truly has found God, there is nothing that can separate the two. Very true. We call it as " AATMA KA PARAM-AATMA SE MILAN". The soul which succeeds in knowing & mixing with SUPREME SOUL experiences the existence of god around & inside him.That moment he don't wish / need any proof for existence of god. |

That is true. Every religion has it's own history.Gautam Buddha,Jesus Christ,Guru nanak,Md.paigambar have attained the supreme soul,their followers expected them to guide them too for attainment of supreme soul,that was how some religions were originated,but almost no one ever succeed to attain supreme soul as no one is really ready to follow the path by sacrificing all enjoyment of life.People conveniently turned religions teaching in their favor to keep enjoying life while pretending for loving & believing the god,they started calling themself as religious. |

Those who believes in god,don't ask for ( as they don't need) any proof of it's existence.
They sense existence of god in everything. |

RELIGION IS MAN REACHING TOWARDS GOD.
RELATIONSHIP IS GOD REACHING TOWARDS MAN. MAN MAY START OFF WITH JUST RELIGION, BUT WHEN GOD DRAWS MAN UNTO HIMSELF, GOD FINDS MAN AND SAVES MAN AND RESTORES MAN INTO RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD ONCE MORE. WHEN GOD FINDS(DRAWS ) MAN AND RESTORES MAN UNTO HIM, MAN NO LONGER JUST HAS RELIGION,BUT NOW HAS RELATIONSHIP. MAN HAS RESTORED RELATIONSHIP NOW WITH GOD ONCE MORE. SIN NO LONGER HAS A HOLD ON MAN NOR SEPARATES HIM FROM GOD ANYMORE. WHEN MAN BELIEVES AND ACCEPTS JESUS AS SAVIOUR (JESUS IS GOD THE SON WHOM GOD THE FATHER SENT TO SAVE US ), THEN MAN'S SINS ARE FORGIVEN NOW AND ARE ALLL COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS. GOD SEEKS (DRAWS) HIS LONG LOST SHEEP AND BRINGS THEM HOME!!! BUT MAN BY HIMSELF, IS UNABLE TO SEEK AFTER GOD UNTIL GOD DRAWS HIM FIRST... UNTIL THEN, MAN WILL ONLY TRY TO FIND HIS OWN WAY TO GOD, AND NOT GOD'S WAY BACK TO GOD ( THIS IS BECAUSE SIN HAS SEPARARED MAN FROM GOD AND MAN'S EYES ARE BLIND ....THAT IS WHY MAN IS NOT ABLE TO TRULY SEEK AFTER GOD.....NOT UNTIL GOD DRAWS HIM FIRST). UNLESS GOD FIRST DRAWS MAN UNTO HIM, NO ONE CAN BE SAVED , AND BROUGHT BACK INTO RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD ( WHICH COMES ONLY THRU BELIEVING AND ACCEPTING JESUS AS SAVIOUR....THE ONE GOD SENT TO SAVE THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD....THE ONE WHO IS FOR ALL PEOPLE IN EVERY RELIGION ). ONE IS ABLE TO BE JOINED BACK INTO RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, ONLY THRU BELIEVING AND ACCEPTING JESUS. SIN SEPARATED ALL MAN FROM GOD....JESUS IS THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN MAN AND GOD...AND IS THE ONLY ONE THRU WHOM WE ARE ABLE TO BE BROUGHT BACK HOME TO GOD....AND BE RESTORED INTO RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD ONCE MORE. |

I've been a "Christian" all my life. But as a kid, yeah know you just kinda go along with the parents. You don't really search yourself, you just kinda believe what they say and tag along. It wasn't till a few years ago when something happened giving me lots of time to myself. It gave me time to search, and find God, so I could walk beside him once again. All glory to God. |

Is it necessary that someone who believes in god shall be considered as religious only? I believe in god but I don't think I'm religious. I see god as universally accepted concept,just the way every religion see & worship is different. everyone defines it different I think most people use the term 'spiritual' to signify that they are not 'religious' , but still believe in a higher source of creation,,, I would probably be religious because I Believe in the bible, yet spiritual because I dont believe the bible to be the source of salvation as much as it is a guide to the source,, Jesus,,,, I Think there are many references and resources in our lives that can lead to Jesus,,, |
