I do not have a definition of religion. Even if i try, My definition will be based on world’s standard of religion practices.

Religion is supposed to be a method of inner engineering. Why does it have to come with the worship of an individual is my question.

1. Then why did you give me a list of names of what seemed historical figures, and then asked if they were man-made? undecided

By the way, supposed to be, according to whom? undecided

2. Well, what do you mean by worship? You should start by defining these things. undecided

Aren’t those names associated with the top 3 religion out here? You cannot mention the top three without mentioning their individual representatives.

1. They may be associated but is religion a man or a system built around a man? undecided

2. That you can mention the individual doesn't necessarily mean individuals has much to do with the religion in question, does it? undecided

1,a - according to the religion intended practices. “Love thy neighbor as yourself” is a method of inner engineering.

2. “In Jesus name”
“According to Mohamed”
“Etc, are all worship of individuals in religion itself.

1. Both.

2. “No one can come to the father except through me” (EXCEPT THROUGH ME) Meaning you have to accept the validity of his being before you can see OUR father. No Christian can pray without mentioning Jesus. (No offense to the Christian folks here, I am only centering on Jesus because I am more conversant with his religion doctrines)

1. What religion would that be given that that commandment is found written as part of the Law of Moses I.e. the National Constitution of the State of Israel given by God to the people of Israel in the Land of Canaan? That Law is no religion. undecided

2. "According to the Constitution of the United States".... does this mean I worship the United States then? You need to clearly define what you mean here so we are on the same page. undecided

Religion means "a pursuit or interest followed with great devotion."

Therefore, in the end what you have is to take whatever mode of living that you think is good for you, and follow it.

In the end if it is good for you, then you are the one who enjoys the good and if it is bad for you, then you are the one who suffers from the badness thereof!

So your Life or death, your choice!

1. How is religion a man? undecided

2. So, you believe Jesus Christ to be a religion because you cannot go to His Father except through Him? undecided

I see what you did here, I am impressed by your response.

The motives behind my post is the way religion is being practiced or has always been practiced. I feel that for there to be a free flow of connection between you and the creation source, there shouldn’t be a third party, a middle man.

The way I define it, Religion is a system that is built on doctrines and traditions conjured up in the minds of men and designed by men with the intention of wielding authority and power over the minds and lives of their fellow men. That middleman is the one running the scam that is called Religion. undecided

Here's a not so well known fact. Jesus Christ presented to those He was sent to call 2 things
■ A Constitutional Law
■ The Kingdom of God, the Nation in which the Law applies

And the mandate He gave to all of them was to obey His Law for that is the only way to serve/honor(worship) Him, who is the King in the Kingdom of God. undecided
