One thing that troubles me has to do with my childhood religious upbringing. I as born into a faith that brain washed me into thinking that the truth (yes that is what it's called), is the only true path to salvation. Women must let their hair grow long, no tv watching or listening to the radio, etc. etc. If not you are doomed to hell Makes me wonder,, does it really matter what church you attend. Can Muslims for example go to the promised land? What about all the other faiths out there? Seems that every one interprets the scripture in a different way. Myself, I'm not convinced that a higher power wrote the word. If so he should have taken all the guess work out of takes to be saved. It's said God works in mysterious ways; Why?
Interesting, food for thought.

IMHO, if your religion helps you become a better person, that’s what it’s all about.
Religion is in the eye of the beholder and only God decides who goes to heaven not men.
