Dear atheists here, I was having very enjoyable attempts to get to exchange ideas with you on how to prove God exists.
Well, I am leaving that thread now: because atheists there are not anymore receptive to talk on how to prove God exists - from their part, of course, how to disprove God exists.
I am starting a new thread, "What is a religion."
Again, I am into getting atheists to talk with me.
Here is the background of my interest now on what is a religion, read the Annex below.
There you will get to know what I have for a definition of religion.
Please contribute your comments, and of course, tell me what is your idea of religion.
See you guys tomorrow, again.

So, just tell me if you all here notice that I am in any ways and means into any infraction of the rules, regulations, etc. of this board and generally of CF.
Here goes, my first contribution to the conversation here.
First and foremost, I like us all to work as to concur on what is religion.
Here is my concept of what is religion:
Religion is the belief in a superior being or beings resulting in affections and actions intended by the believer to influence the superior being or beings to help him the believer in everything in which he the believer is in need of help.
Now, what is my religion?
My religion is the Christian faith, as proclaimed in The Apostles’ Creed; here is my memory of The Christians’ Apostles’ Creed:
“I believe in God the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only begotten son, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell, the third day He rose again from the dead, He ascended unto heaven seated at the right hand of God, the Father almighty.
From thence He shall come back to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.”
There, that is my religion, I could have gotten some words not so correctly written by me from memory.
I can recite also the No. 1 prayer of Christians, The Lord’s Prayer which is the Our Father, here goes, the Our Father:
“Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil.
[For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.]
There that is my from memory the recitation of the No. 1 prayer of Christians.
Shall I now go into the recitation of The Ten Commandments, the list of moral rules Christians must live by, otherwise they will not ever get to heaven, but will land in hell when they die?
What about you guys, fellow Christians, what is your concept of religion?
