About this Author

Jo Potocki helps pro choice movements.

Why do you believe your religion is true? If you're Christian, there are over 33,000 recognized brands of Christianity alone. Many with their own versions of the Bible and their own unique beliefs. Ditto with other major religions.
They believe they are following the one true religion, just like you do. Have you ever wondered why you believe that?
Don't be afraid to ask questions and explore. Acknowledge your attachment to your faith and then ask "Why?".

Have the courage to open up your beliefs to doubt.
Since doubt, not faith, must be the starting point for any rational analysis. 
Allow yourself to be led by facts, not preconceptions.
Be prepared to accept the emotional outcome no matter how painful it may be to find out the truth about what you've believed.
This is extremely difficult, but if your beliefs are true then you have nothing to worry about right?
If your own research shows they are not true, then you have everything to gain.

Free your mind.

@HumbleForest - don't cut and paste garbage that has nothing to do with the post. Type your thoughts or hit your back button and never return.

i think relgion is simple where you feel connected with god its like love you cant explain it but you know when you found it. like attraction its like this you get this feeling you dont know why but you feel a pull to it. but im also open to people asking why how when etc most i can answer some i cant but i dont fell my religion is right for everybody i love hearing about other peoples religion because it always help me might see something i took as one way and learn it might mean something else. christian bible is built on jewish beliefs so somethings mean one thing to them and another to me the more i learn the more connected to my god i fell

@Melissa - beautiful thoughts! I love how you say you "don't feel your religion is right for everybody" because honest to goodness you're one of the few Christians I've encountered on FanBox that do not process your brand is the ONLY brand of religion and everyone else is doooooooooooomed to the flamin' pit! You're such a cool combination of faith and open mindedness.

thanks i truly feel that also theres a saying people forget and it applies here you reach more bees with honey meaning you reach more people bing a geninue sweet person then this mad person who are you going to reach? no one i look at it this way i dont have to tell people they going to hell what good does that do? being a christian is being christ like god reached people where they were people dont change over night. yes i believe in miracles but not all people will recieve a miracle people will see it as fake but if change little by little people notice that because its real change. if i reach one or one person ask a question or i opened their eyes ive done teh job god wants me to. jesus was that way he was human he was perfect but he did also ask god is there a different way where i dont have to die not my will but your will. so jesus did fell lost but he knew god was there. lol let me stop before i have the christians coming at me lol. see thats something i hate because i dont agree with everything they teach im wrong they dont know what gods telling me god uses people in all different ways thats why were not all the same. thats why i love people that ask those hard questions teaches me something and i can teach them. may never change someones mind but if its brought me closer to him im happy and thankful for none believers

Agreed. I think you have a great gift for talking to people.
People forget I'm not here to change ANYONE - just sharing my thoughts and pointing out hypocrisy where it lives. That's it and nothing more. :)
