@Nëïgsëndöïg Unused Respectfully, and out of curiosity, which scientific (report??) are you referring to? I will agree that certain religions are significantly less equitable than others (Satanism comes to mind as probably the extreme). That being said, for me it isn’t about religion. It’s about relationship. That’s why for me, I believe Christianity (going back to ancient Judaism and being consecrated via Jesus Christ) is the perfect representation of relationship. A God, whom loved His people…His creation so much; that He gave us free will so that we might choose to love Him instead of being forced to. And when after several acts of disobedience, He sent His Son Jesus to die in our place so that we didn’t have to…. And upon Jesus’ resurrection, death would be conquered and we would be reconciled unto our Father God. —- So…it’s about relationship…the heart, head, and life change that makes us WANT to be near God and commune with His instead of following a bunch of rules (religion) in order to gain His favor. That’s the biggest misunderstanding about Christianity. We have always been in God’s favor, He has always been chasing after us…to reconcile with us…it’s simply that in our humanness we are aweful at it 🤪 so He made a substitution…a sacrifice of His own, so that we might be with Him once and for all, forever. That’s relationship, not religion. —- Hope this helps you understand my perspective at least. I appreciate you!
