Philosopher's Corner:- Don't Be Deceived, God Has No Religion
God is conceived as the Supreme Being and principal object of faith. The concept of God as described by theologians commonly includes the attributes of omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), omnibenevolence (perfect goodness), divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence.
In theism, God is the creator and sustainer of the universe. Monotheism is the belief in the existence of one God or in the oneness of God.
In pantheism, God is the universe itself. In atheism, God is purported not to exist, while deemed unknown or unknowable within the context of agnosticism. God has also been conceived as being incorporeal (immaterial), a personal being, the source of all moral obligation, and the "greatest conceivable existent". Many notable medieval philosophers and modern philosophers have developed arguments for and against the existence of God.
There are several religions and philosophy in the world today. Over 2000 religions are in practice globally. Most of which acknowledged the existence of God. Except athetism that is against the existence of God. Amongst these over 2000 religions, which one can we boldly say is God's own religion? All of them are calling on the same God in different ways. This same God do answer them, they claim but they are all claiming the righteous part to this one God.
The bible says in John 14:6 (NIV) states, Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." while the muslims claim
"..And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning)."
Surah Al-Isra' [17:15] However, if he rejects the existence of (one) God intentionally, then he shall goto Hell.
The other religions also share there own claims to this one God. Which one is God own religion?
In my own view, God has no religion. He is the God of all religions. Since he answers everyone whenever He is being called upon. It is wrong for one religious faith to claim it is the only way to God. Almost all these religions believed that God created this world and He looked at it, it was all good. If the creation of this world was the work of God, and He created heaven.
There are many ways on earth, so it is justifiable to say there will be more than one way to heaven. The bible said as it is done on earth, it is in heaven. All living things came to earth in different ways, some by creation, by birth, by aching, by evolution etc, so, that is how will return to him in heaven through different means or religions.
In this case, it is wrong and unjust for any religion to claim to be the only means to God. If at all such almighty God exist. God is the God of all religions or better still, He is not the God of any religion. He has no religion. He cannot have one. He will not own any religion. God has no religion. Do you think He has?

Religion from the way I see it is a means of communication designed by man to communicate with a supernatural being and a means to make the society morally upright. If u will agree with me, Religion is man made.
