what is it about religion?

|
does it really matter what religion you are in? or whether you have a religion or not? as a friend said, "i believe a bit in everything". well, i sort of think myself as that way too. although my dad is supposingly a buddhist, i don't really think i can call myself a buddhist because i don't know much about the teachings nor do i go for any classes and the only thing i know is the story of how buddha came about. it's sort of the same as i know what Good Friday and Easter Sunday is about. I may not be christian but i do believe in god, the mighty one that determines our path of life and that everything happen for a reason, for better or worst. I may not be a christian but i pray, sometimes, for myself, family and friends. does it mean that the god that i believed exist, is the same god those of you believe in? to me, there's only one superior being, be it in a christian or muslim point of view. why do we have to make things so difficult? how people always say, christianity welcomes brothers and sisters regardless of their religion? how far do you think it's true? my friends went for some event carried out by one of the ocf, then the organizers were walking around asking about them about their religions and inviting them to join ocf and discover god etc. then when a friend said that she was muslim, they sort of ignored her there on. can't they just be polite eventough she has no chance to be brought into christianity? chinese people believe in hell, depending of how much sin you've done in your life, you'll end up in different levels of hell. but i believe in heaven too, i believe that if you've been good you'll end up in heaven, sounds like a nice place to be. but what is it about shows protraying things like, if you do not believe in god, or accept him in your life, then you cannot enter the gate of heaven? does it mean i have to be a christian to be accepted in heaven? does it mean i have to be a christian to have all my sins pardoned? i guess now you know why i do not want to be pressured into accepting a religion. it doesn't mean that if i do not believe in a particular religion, i'm a bad person does it? even buddhism is not really considered a religion, it's just a bunch of people who believe in the teaching of righteousness. don't condemn them just because they don't believe in god, or do they? why do i see kuan yin statues in buddhist temple? i'm thankful that i'm not easily influenced, or else i would have been converted due to peer pressure. i'm more than happy and willing to learn about god and stuff but i'm just not up to the pressure to do it by going to ocf or church. if god really wants me as his child, i'm sure he'll touch my heart and reach me one day. just the day is not today. do u still love me for who i am? well, even if u don't i love everyone of you regardless of your religion!
