The world is filled with religious smorgasbords of many varieties offering the public a taste of what each has to offer.
Some of these religions teach that all paths lead to God. Some religions teach that only their way leads to God.
If we consider that all paths lead to God then it makes no difference if you are a saint or a cereal killer in the end you will be saved regardless. This lends to the thinking that anything you do will be accepted and God will forgive you in the end.
So I tell people who try to sell me on this concept "Why should you care? If your right I'm saved anyway. If I'm right where does that leave you?"
Think about it. Why should they care if someone doesn't think or believe they way they do when in the end everyone will be saved anyway? If their correct in their thinking that is.
So why do they work so hard to convince people their way of thinking and their unproven unsubstantiated theories are correct? The answer is simple psychology, they are insecure in their beliefs. They are not sure if what they believe in is true but the more people they can convince the better they feel about themselves. Please know their thinking will not help you in your quest for the truth. Besides if they were right you can do anything you want, believe anything you want and your going to be saved anyway, but if they are wrong you can throw out everything they say stick your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.
For those who belive in reincarnation the same applies. If they are right it makes no difference what you do because if you don't get it right this time you will get to do it over and over again until you get it right. This depends on the concept that the Earth will be inhabitable forever and ever. Science says the earth has been destroyed and life wiped out here many times in the past. It's not a mater of if it will happen again, it's a mater of when. As for people let's face it some are just plain stupid and never get it right.
As for the people who say there is no after life the same applies. If they are right you can do anything and believe anything and it makes no difference. You can even throw science out the window with this thinking because science says everything is energy and energy can't be destroyed. AH! Yes, science lends credibility that God might actually exist! Why? Because God is energy! And energy can't be destroyed. Energy can be converted, it can be contained in some cases, it can be utilized but it can not be destroyed. Energy is omni-present and eternal. Everything has some form of energy. Every living thing has an electrical charge. Spirits are energy, our bodies contain physical mass, an electrical charge and a spirit that is energy and can not be destroyed. But if the people who say God does not exist and there is no after-life are correct none of these concepts hold any validity.
Several religions teach that we must have respect not only for others, but for the planet and all living things. Another teaches you must die killing innocent people in order to please their god. Let's face it they can't both be right.
Another religion teaches that order comes out of chaos. Good can not exist without evil and light can not exist without darkness, etc. Some concepts hold a grain of truth but ultimately do not hold the key to anyone's salvation.
There are some who believe it's better to believe in something than nothing at all. I tend to agree with this thinking but must say what we believe in is important but must add that how hard we try to find the truth is also important. Weather or not we find the truth is even more important.
More to come. Questions and answers about various religious things soon to come.
The young lady who asks the following question has had an interesting life so far. She was caught up in the things of the world only to be taken captive by a religious cult. Finally she found her way out but not without mental and emotional scars. God led her to find this website and I've been doing my best to answer her questions. These are questions everyone should have asked if they haven't yet so I will share them with you.

Answer> Some people feel the need to be entertained. They are drawn like a moth to the flame by flashing lights, music and people dancing. They feed upon the energy being sent out to them from the stage like a drug.
In the Lost Books of Eden we read how the descendents of Enoch were enticed to come down from their mountain by the descendents of Cain, with music and dance.
We read how when John the baptiser was captive in Harrod's prison that it was the daughter of the woman who Harrod was having an affair with who danced for Harrod in order to influence Harrod to hand her John's head on a platter. Because it was John who said Harrod was living in sin by taking another man's wife. Like many who live in sin doing immoral things the woman hated John for presenting her with the truth. Like some who live in sin her desire was to snuff out the light that shone upon her. She used deception enticing music sexually implicit dance in order to get what she wanted.
In the Bible we also read that when David was elected King of Israel he sang and danced. Not all song and dance is the same but it is an attractant. People love it and they are drawn to it.
