Is the religion considered way to salvation?

Majority of the world’s population can be classified according to their faith to their inventor, so called faith. And Catholicism domains the greater percentage among other faith at most countries.



Catholics describes Jesus Christ as son of GOD and the only way to save from the sinful world, by his death to the "cross of Calvary". Also, by person blood, Jesus’ mother, Virgin Mary gains respect by her sacrifice to carry a blessed child inside her womb, despite of all the criticisms and doubts to her faithfulness to Joseph, her romantic associate.



Many religion shares story about the great architech, but different character names, execution and interpretation. But what more important is, does religion can send you to paradise?



Last night, my mother was pushing me to attend the Sunday mass, a non-catholic assembly, preaching the same study of catholics, except of their saints and patrons, signing of cross before and after their prayers. And having a plenty of churches at the same area. Like placing 10 churches in a small subdivision with different names and management each. A funny thing that makes my choice in attending such mass more complicated, or should I say doubting to their intention of scattering the word of creator.

It’s a big issue for our family that I, the youngest member, don’t want to join that particular religious group. I am supposed to obey whatever my parents ask me to do. But this time, it’s my personal decision to choose what group of people engaging to one's belief to God does my religion suits best.

Now I am having a small study about all existing religion, asking some professors, relatives, and some unbiased friends on what their stands on religion. And many of them agreed to me that faith cannot save you from hell after you die. A fact that every group should imposed to their members. It’s hard to find what makes you feel that you are entering the right path of your life. But if you have the Lord in your heart, you will not go anywhere but to the best. A deep connection to the Lord will direct you along the way, through ups and downs, through thick and thin, for richer and for poorer just like what the weded couples assure each other. But for the Lord it was for genuine.
