Religious people, why?

Why do you believe the way you do?

Update:

I'm a Christian Baptist. I know why I believe the way I do. I was just wondering about other people. No sarcasm needed. Thanks =)

    This question can be directed at everyone, every walk of life. There's a difference between religious people and spiritual people. I don't understand why people are religious and jump through hoops and beat themselves all to get God's approval.

    This the way people.. find a Way to survive.. May you won't feel it.. But.. This is what in Someway connects us to God.. But there is Only One God ..

    Religion is something which teaches people to survive.. Don't believe what media.. says.. All they want ;; is that you don't become too religious.. and Forget spending.. for their materialistic agendas.. peace.. have a good..

    As Allah SWt says in Quran:-

    Those who believed (in the Oneness of ALLAH - Islamic Monotheism), and whose HEARTS FIND REST in the REMEMBRANCE of ALLAH: verily, in the REMEMBRANCE of ALLAH DO HEARTS FIND REST .

    I believe all religions exist only to teach people to be good to others.

    The reason i believe this is the large number of similarities between religions.

    it's what make sense to me

    I don't have a hard time accepting a creator.. I see creation and intelligent design

    I don't see how anything can exist wit out a creator

    it's peoples sin it's what blocks them from believing, they deep down inside have a hard time accepting God, so they are blind to truth

    One can believe only when one is convinced positively. Also if one goes through experience and gets convinced, then it is enough to believe.

  • Because science has yet to find a cure for bleu ballz. When that happens, I'll believe in the atheist god.
