Why should I believe in your religion and faith? (ritual, Creator)

You know what?
You are a fountain of no information.
You know that?

Come on Mestemia, one's non-acceptnce of biblical information does not make it 'no information."

It actually is, but it is your right not to consider it as such.

Peace!

Wow.
You have made missing the point an art form of which you have mastered.

From all of my studies I know that all religions are the same so why believe in something that doesn't exist and was made to control, manipulate, and bring fear into you so that you would be easier to be able to be controled. I have studied Satanism, Christainity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Daoism, Scientology, Wiccan, and Pagan. I went from Baptist to Mormon to Agonstic to Atheist because I sought some kind of spiritual enlighten however I came to realised that I was an idiot for searching because there is nothing out there but man-made gods and goddesses.

Well, I would have to say it's a personal thing. I tested the claims of Buddhist practice by practicing myself. This was facilitated by the fact that no belief is required, only practice.

After practicing for a period of time I began to notice that the claims being made were true; that I was actually achieving the advertised results. Then and only then did I begin to believe.

I make no claims that my religion or faith is more truthful than any other. The claim I make is that I have tested it, and continue to test it every day. The practice continues to pass the tests. When it fails, I will begin searching for another practice to replace it.
