How can anyone be sure?

God is there. Religion is only the way people make relationship with Him. I think the most important is spirituality. Spirituality is how we are associated to God personally.

I totally disagree with you DJfroKI. According to you too many bad things come from religion and belief. To me I see it the other way round. Religion is the path that mankind still around and live in harmony up to this day. For your information I live in a muslim country but religion that hold us and keep us in unity. In other word, we respect the practise of other believers. Before the spreading of religion (Christianity) to my country in the early 30's, 40,s and 50's our great grandparent were the headhunters and they were cannibal. Now that most of us are Catholic, we stop all those for it is against the religion. So you can imagine if Christinity were not introduced to my country. You were a Catholic and I believe the teaching of the Catholic is based from the Bible and I cannot find that God's word encourage us to do bad as you said. Once again your statement contradict to the reality that religious people are the liars, cheats, theives and killers etc. Are you sure that's the case? No, not in many country in the world. Most killers, murderous, liars etc are those who do not believe in God or who have shallow knowledge of their religion. To proof my point, you visit the local prison and you will know that most of the inmates are free thinker. Take for instance, the muslim that are willing to kill themselves in the name of the religion. They believed that 7 virgins are waiting for them in Heaven if they kill the non-muslim but according to the iman in my country that is against the true teaching of Islam and they have shallow knowledge of Islam. I raise my case. In my country many miracles happened and recently God's family (Jesus and Mother Mary)appeared in a village and until today pilgrims and non-belivers flock to that village to witness the appearance of Jesus and Mary. Some even managed to take Jesus and Mary images by using handphone camera or digital camera. It depend on your faith actually because out of 10 people taking the pictures only 1 or 2 people with the images. However everybody can take the picture of the 'cross" which is not visible with naked eye. It appears on a palm tree and the muslims tried to kill the tree but failed. Now some of them even convert to Catholic. What can you say, MIRACLE.....

I am not sure that theirs any RIGHT religion, although I believe in Jesus Christ and belong to the UCC. I do, however, believe that good folks of all faiths go to Heaven. I believe that suffering exists to teach others to be kind to those less fortunate. That's why I think my friend is transgendered and I'm in a wheelchair. We're example of people that people that people need to accomodate and be kind to, as religions (good religions anyway) teaches us to do

any church which will follow Bible strictly, you can select, see that what they say they practice it.
