SOS Sensitive topic....... Religion

Religion as defined by Wikipedia, is an organised collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to the supernatural, and to spirituality.  Many religions may have organized behaviours, clergy, a definition of what constitutes adherence or membership, holy places and scriptures.  The practice of a religion many also includes rituals, sermons, commemoration or veneration of a diety, gods or goddesses, sacrifices, festivals, or other aspects of human culture.

It is a long definition, but one important aspects not mentioned is that religion was formed by human. Commonly, it involved membership, holy place and scriptures, and has its only formality or ritual.

OK, lets us not debate on the definition, but rather discuss on the substance.

There was once, a Christian asked me the following questions about my belief:

1. What is your belief based on?
2. Why do you choose this belief?
3. How certain are you that this belief is the correct one?
4. Would you waver in your belief is you are faced with life and death situation?
5. Do you believe in afterlife?

The short version answer to the above questions is (I choose to practice Falun Dafa), is that it improve my mental, physical and spiritual aspect of my life and provide me to all my questions about origin of life, space-time, humanity and the universe.  As for the remaining questions on what is it based upon, why you choose that belief, certainty, and facing life and death situation, my simple answer would be, it depends on you enlightenment quality, inborn quality, predestined relationship and how steadfast are you in that belief and a few other factors.

I will not comment further as you may be already confuse with all these terms you many not heard of.  Let just say, the reason I practice Falun Dafa (www.falundafa.org) because it can provide me with all the answers I am looking for about humanity, origin of life, dimensions, and the universe and expound all the principles behind them.

I am not doubting that other "religions" ability to provide all the answers, but, I did say, it also involved predestined relationship and other factors.
