Has Religion or belief in God helped you in life?

I do believe in God. But not in religion. I strictly believe that religion is man made and not God made. Religion were started to preach group of people. This used to vary from region to region. And this classification was later named as religion. My belief is that my God is always with me. Whatever I do, wrong or right, he knows. My God does not need daily praying. He knows what good and bad I have done. Based on which I get, what I deserve. I may not be a great person. But knowing that my God is watching me all the time, helps me do some good deeds and makes me a better person.

Kiranji I am hindu by religion, but i honor all religions, i have muslim, christian friends not only in my city but around the globe, we have tons of gods and goddesses no doubt, but i think there is one super power whom we call by different names, Faith in god or religion has certainly helped me in many ways.. Thanks for this wonderful discussion. Have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘@Bhuwan@’. .

My faith in God and His plans for my life have helped me. Life is certainly not easy. Knowing Jesus is there with me and has a purpose for my life is quite an encouragement.

I was backed up on my rent and afraid I was going to lose the house. The owner was trying to help me for months. The stress was overwhelming and one night I prayed so hard and somewhere I heard just let it go and turn it over to God. And I stopped worrying. I just knew somehow it would work out. I got a better a job that allowed to pay. Not only did they work out a payment plan with me, my interest rate went from over 7% to 2%, over 1000 saved a month, never did I even think that was possible. And since then I feel so much closer to the Lord. I am blessed and highly favored. People, take it from me, when you need help, he is the only answer and I am a church going person and that is the best we can do, because faith come by listening and the word of God. Just a sinner saved by God's good grace. Blessings to all.God have safe of a lot of illnes have safed of a lot of dangerous situations, he listend my prays and love me.

I wouldn't say that religion has helped me in anyway but my believe in God without necessary been that religious is what helps me most. When Iam in problem or I need something, I usually just pray to God directly and it has nothing to do with my religion. It is only through my faith and believe in God.

Religion is a law that we must fallow to become member of the religion example in ISLAM religion to become a Muslim we must fallow the teaching of ISLAM. and religion help as to know where we go heaven or hell its because we know what we are doing we no our self better and we must judge our self if we are following the law of our religion of course we will go to heaven its because the promise of ALLAH never be broken. if we are not fallowing the Quran and so we go to hell its because the Quran mention it.

Yes, believe in a true God sure help me a lot in life, but believe in religion is not helpful at all for me, it almost take me all the way on the destruction path until the end of time when once upon a time i believed too much in a religion that worship a false God. But now i am truly grateful i finally find the true God without having to follow many false teaching from religions.

never.

Religion has never helped me but my relationship with God did.There's a big difference with just being religious and really knowing God. What you pursue and continually seek is what you will become. Example, since God is patient and since you seek Him then you will become patient too. But in religion, you can do all the rituals or you can go to church every Sunday but you don't really know God in your heart or have a personal relationship with Him then nothing will change in you. I have been changed by God in a tremendous amount of ways. I used to be so shy and insecure and because of the love of God, I have changed. I have now become bold and secure...

It certainly has. I am alive today because my religious beliefs enabled me to get through an extremely difficult part of my life.

God is really great. He helps us from all danger and sufferings. He the king of the whole world. I always keep faith in him. I believe him and i trust him. Actually god is only one and people makes different religion for their well being. If you are praying to lord shiva or if you are praying to jesusus, the prayers are before the god who controls the whole world.
