Yes we all have religions, but we cannot embrace all. If we do so, it means we have no religions. However, do not ever force the atheist to convert to a religion, because there should be no compulsion in religion. Wait, so, not all of us have religions? How about the agnostic, too?

Religion, to the pious is like transport to take them to heaven. The truth seekers regard it as a lot of work to do as to finding the truest one and the unbelievers will put blame on it as the source of war and conflict. Anyway, which one are you with?

Of so many religions out there, have you ever wondered which one is the truest? There should be one key to fit the keyhole, shouldn't it?

Religions are like scattered keys in a dark room. You should find one to unlock the door, or else you’re confined there forever. This means among so many religions out there, there should be the truest one for people to embrace.

To consider all religions similar to each other by any means, is like giving them no appreciation. When it comes to judgement, will there be none of the Hollywood stars to win Oscar? It applies to religion, too. You need to compare and conclude.

Being well informed in religion is the same as being aware of a business contract or an MOU. We need to question anything confusing in religion. Otherwise, we’ll never know about the truth. This is for our own sake. Will you make a deal with inconsistencies here and there?

Accepting a concept of religion without further study means you trust a doctor when he says your minor disease is acute, yet you are sure you are okay. Fanaticism is okay, a no big deal, but only with strong reason and it must be compatible with logic. Bigotry means nothing but only showing up your ignorance.

Now let's focus on the keyowner. God, as the key owner, if He liked you He’ll give the key freely or He gives you the clue to find one. One thing for sure, He never wants to redeem your wrongdoing with His life when you break the key. It is all of your own effort to get out of the dark room, for the keyowner will never ever send you a savior or something.

By the way, haven't found the key yet? Let me give you the clue. The keywords are: unquestionable, unmistakable, logical and consistent. Does it sound like homework for you! If so I'd really like to say, happy searching.
