One which takes you closer to your own self. One which does not just gives you rules and formulaes.....but tell u that You don't need to search Him any where...He is within you..
One which answers all your questions.
One which is capable of making you live in peace & harmony.
One which does not conflict your conscience.
One which tell you "From where have u come"
One which tell u "What are you living for"
One which can take you to the "unlimited source of peace,energy,harmony and bliss"...within you
I don't want to call upon for a particular religion but just try to meditate....it will take you close to the omni-potent.

I think you can find a good answer in one of the teachings of Bahaism. Bahais believe that there is only one God, and that there is only one religion, God's religion. So all religions, however different they are, are interpretations of God and versions of God's religion. I'm not preaching Bahaism, I'm just drawing attention to this interesting idea.
God most probably exists because, even though no religion has been able to produce 100% logical irrefutable evidence of God's existence, most of the circumstancial evidence points directly to a higher power. Why after thousands of years of astronomical research is the Earth still the only planet we know to support life? Why are humans so enormously intelligent compared to their animal counterparts? What's the chance that all stories about miracles, ghosts and hauntings, psychics, predictions of the future, and amazing spiritual experiences are coincidences or lies?
However, just as all religions have divine inspiration and are centered around the idea of God, all religions also have manmade components that are exposed to human problems - corruption, violence, hatred, or incompatibility with science, for example. These parts should be gradually improved or removed as the religion evolves and becomes more in line with the times. Christianity had a major Reformation 500 years ago; Judaism has Reform and Reconstructionist schools.
We live in an age when most countries are secularized and members of one religion no longer have the right to limit people's mental scopes or impose themselves over other religions. You should make a study of all religions, and simply choose the one that you find most spiritually appealing. As long as belief in that religion is not indoctrination and makes you a morally, socially, and mentally better person than you were before the conversion, anyone would say the change is beneficial. But at the same time, there is nothing wrong with having a personal belief in and relationship with God without using a religion or philosophy as a medium.

What I think is that that is enough, just make sure you keep upwhat you have to and God will provide you with a safe, beutiful and ou of the World place. And what I believe is that Science Teachers and some Scientists believe that Sciece is a Religion, which it's not, it's just a bunch of theories being tested all the time, And do you know the centre of the Earth, they don't know what it looks like, and when they say it's also made of Iron and another material, it could be Uranium in the Centre.

There really are NO facts!
I can only provide you with my opinion, as most every religion will say for a fact, that they are the true religion, So...it's round and round, with no answer. The truth is that religion doesn't matter to God. Spirituality does. After learning my hard lessons, I've been at a point where I truly understand that most religions are man made, and God's true church is made up of individuals that follow Christ, ( so naturally, that would mean that true Spirituality, in my opinion, would be from having Jesus in our hearts and obeying Him)
The names of different religions, like Catholic, Protestant, etc. are just names of groups, and altho a person may have preferences about which one to belong to, that's ok, but the important thing is that God judges our hearts.,and God knows who His true followers are...
I am a Christian, ( don't have a church,) and worshipping Christ is the truth for me. Judiasm or Muslimism may be the truth for others. I am not the judge...God is.

It is wrong in just believing the God without devoting yourself. Just like you admit somebody as your father but you never listen to him or even get close to him. It is exactly the same regarding
religion. Who knows us better if not the God, our creator. All God's religions are true but it is rather misfortune that some of the holy books had already been misinterpreted and alterations had been made. If you really want to find out a true religion, you have to study the holy books of different religion and you will certainly find out the truth.

I guess it all lies in your definition of a religion. Thd Bible never defines the truth as a religion (belief system), but rather as a way of life, or even more accurately a relationship with God that has its foundation on truth. You as an individual need to personally determine what you believe to be truth. That is what all the controversy over religions is about. Whose authority is the right one. You have a number of options: Reason, Science, Experiences, Writings, Compatability, or a mixture of these. In Christianity we have decided and committ ourselves to the teachings of God as taught in the Bible and of course we believe that to be the truth. The Bible teaches not to add to the Bible or to take away from it, and conflicts with christianity come when people do so. Most cults or false religions or false denominations come when a second source of truth is added to the Bible, Catholics accept the Bible, but add traditions, the Pope, sacrements, etc to their authority. Mormons, add the Book of Mormon. Pentacostals add experiences and miracles, teaching that truth not only comes from the Bible but that God also shows you truth through healings, prophesies, miracles, etc.
Whenever you add a second source of truth you always run into difficulty when you have a conflict between the two, and often people choose to side with the secondary source (a miracle or something) and leave themselves open to deception.
Personally I have chosen the Bible, and I seek to stick to it.

No, it is not enough. You have to believe in the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. You have to be baptise with water and the holy spirit. Believe in Jesus Christ. Submit yourself to the apostle. Speak and pray in tongue. May God bless you and your family.

Many of them. I can say that because, though your meaning is understood, you didn't actually ask which religion is truthful in its claims and messages, just which religion is the true religion. Since religion is, at minimum, belief in the supernatural and the order pertaining to the worship thereof, many belief systems would fall under that definition.

Invitation to All Believers
[3:64] Say, "O followers of the scripture, let us come to a logical agreement between us and you: that we shall not worship except GOD; that we never set up any idols besides Him, nor set up any human beings as lords beside GOD." If they turn away, say, "Bear witness that we are submitters."
I am Muslim. I believe and God and worship him alone.
