Should people follow thw religion of their parents, or should they be allowe to follow a religion of their choice? I follow the first, but am seriously thinking on the second. What do you feel???

i think u should follow ur own choice religion by finding the right path and u should check which religion deals with logic not supersticious thought and feelings.... logic is the main religion... try to find logic in every religion if u get that then u r there!!!!!!!!

Faith does not mean following blindly. To choose a religion, we must study the doctrines and teachings. For the Christian religion, its doctrines are set forth in the New Testament. It is there where we find the way of salvation. The one we refer to as God is in the Holy Bible so if you believe in God or you want to study God, read the Holy Bible and if God opens your heart to understand His word, then you might become a Christian who is a child of God.

...My children were dedicated in our church and are free to choose the faith they want to follow. My parents never took us to church. My father was lutheran and my mother was presbatyrian. ...To choose a church family, I went to several churches in my area. Spend a couple of Sundays at each one and choose the one where you feel most comfortable. I chose my church because they accepted me as I am. It didn't matter if I dressed up or came in blue jeans to them. They were just happy I was there to worship with them. ...The church I attend and am a member of is an American Baptist Church. ABC are most culturally diverse church in world and have been for over 30 years. ...Good luck in your search. Peace be with you. =(^;^)= Della

I would say it all depends on the person's preference and what they want to do. I don't feel a person learns anything when they're uncomfortable in a certain religion if they don't like it. Such as myself, I was raised one religion all of my life but I converted to another because one is too starched for me and the other is my laid back and relaxed.

When human come to religion, it was so ambiguous. For me. religion is nothing. Religion will not help you in developing yourself. Only self motivation can work for you. Religion will no promise you anything. How many religion we have in this world. Is it really we have so many god? I also don't know. But What I know is human is too random and indeterminate all the time. You will no know which religion will promise you the most or may be all the religion is just creation of human. Only self motivation will help you to winning yourself. It doesn't matter which religion you are? self motivation and self effectiveness is more important than everything. Let's think about it.
