There’s different religions we all practice, whether it be Catholic, Protestant, Judaism, Islam, Hindu, Buddhism, etc. All but one will end up being the “right” religion, if any are indeed right. So in the end, most of us will be wasting our life practicing a faith that is “wrong.” So whatever religion we practice, how can we be sure we picked the right one and we’re not wasting our life?

By using principles from the religion to develop a healthy life, rather than focusing on some supreme power.

Whoops, this was a mistake on my part then to start the same thread again. I’m sorry.

Mods, feel free to close this thread.

As you know, that thread was closed because you and others continued to drag it off topic after multiple warnings. This one can continue as long as people behave themselves.

Easy. If you're Baptist, you're good.

Seriously though. I'm a Christian because God called me to it. I know it's true because it is.

First you have to step back and ask yourself if there is even such a thing as a "right" religion. There are a lot of people who believe it's different paths up the same mountain. We know that the one thing they all have in common is some form of "the Golden Rule", so if you abide by that in the context of whatever religion you choose, or you believe has chosen you, as the case may be, you, there should be no inner angst.

In Christianity people get Born again in the Spirit of the living God who is a good God and very much as supernatural Lord of all, So people get to know the Living God through Jesus Christ Spirit who living on people who follow Him in Pray and deeds ...... So God is real and not just a conjecture of ideas in Christianity
