Can anyone tell me a little bit about all the religions they know and what they are about? I don't know which to pursue. Thank you very much. I am agnostic as of now. I thought I was atheist. I'm not so sure anymore.

KatieBelle answered Friday April 21 2006, 1:58 pm: Saint_Gasoline gave a really good answer, and I can tell that she really has done some research about her different religions. I am now in the last quarter of a theology class, World Religions. It's extremely hard to just write down what the religions are about in a short paragraph, but if you want to contact me and have any certain questions about the religions of Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, or Hinduism, feel free to ask me. Being Catholic, I can also try to answer your questions about that. We covered the topic of salvation outside the Church at the beginning of the year so if you have questions about that, I can help you out. :) [ KatieBelle's advice column | Ask KatieBelle A Question ]
trina answered Saturday April 15 2006, 5:48 pm: Well I am Christian and most people think that we are all goody goody and don’t sin but they are wrong. We try to love as much as we can and I try and love Jesus as much as I can but it is still hard. But I believe if some one were to ask me if I believed and they had a gun to my head I would still say yes. And I don’t really care what any one thinks of me. The reason why I am telling you about me are because my faith is what makes the religion so great and powerful. Because I can still for give people that harm me. And I can talk to Jesus when I need advice. Sometimes I will be thinking about something that is bothering me and god will settle my heart by telling me through someone ells like my dad or mom or a good friend. Like I will be thinking and the phone will ring. And they will tell me that they miss me or want to see me that’s how god works he is so amazing he can help people. But some people wonder why god lets people suffer to understand fully is impossible for me but I am told that with out suffer there is no compassion it is still hard to comprehend I no but I take Jesus as he is. this is pretty much what they average Christian thinks and feels I am not good at explaining what happened to god and who he is but you should try going to a Baptist church for a week to check it out you seem like a pretty opened minded person thanks for asking this question please get back to me you don’t have to rate me just tell me what you think about it. To me telling about something I love dose not come at any cost I like doing it that’s why I don’t care if you rate me. [ trina's advice column | Ask trina A Question ]
jammy12 answered Saturday April 15 2006, 4:27 pm: Well I'll tell u about the 3 religions I know about (alot about):
Islam- I'm a muslim...so i can help. Muslim believe in Allah and the Qurran//Koran. they have the stories like the bible except they are a bit more believable and there are different names. We believe in Jesus, Esa, but not as the son of God as a phophet.
Hinduism- It's worshipping idol and statues. Now I duno how it works but I'm among alot of them and I know they believe in stufff like Lakstmi and hamnuman (a monkey in a human form) and they make idols and put flowers and have puja(prayers) for them.
Roman Catholic- They believe jesus is the son off god and Mary is the virgin. Basically they believe in the father, son and holy ghost. They celebrate easter and they have like st. patricks day and stuff. [ jammy12's advice column | Ask jammy12 A Question ]
