I Believe in God, but Do not Want to Follow Any Religion

One of my learned friends has asked me a question. He says

" God created human but religions were not created by Him. I strongly believe in God and pray that I should not do any thing wrong.
I want to respect all religions but do not want to follow any religion. Religion is a failure as every religion is fighting every religion.

New religions are being created to milk people. New avatars of GODS are born in considerable number. People have different
sub religions which are again fighting among themselves. There is caste fighting. I can guide you to a Gurdwara where so called
low caste Mazhabis are not allowed. What benefit is my religion giving me?"

Guru Nanak Ji Sahib DID NOT CREATE any religion..........The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is NOT a religious text..its a WAY OF LIFE..JEEVAN JAACH..how to live our LIFE and meet the Maker when the time comes....the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is a TOOL BOX...full of all types of TOOLS to help us shape our lives..and CREATE a new LIFE. You sound like...I LOVE SCHOOL and want to go to SCHOOL..but I wont listen to any teacher or read any books... Or this..I Love Carpentry and want to make the best furniture..BUT i hate the TOOL - BOX.. containing the saw hammer etc..thats a load of JUNK...and I hate the sight of wood.

Well the answer is very simple .It is human nature to fight with Each other.Look at 20th centuries wars how many of them were cause by religion?
Please ask your friend to speak only in sign language because Language has divided more people than religions

.Then ask your friend never to be patriot to any country because love for country provokes many people to fight and die for your country.

There is nothing that can gurante humans will stop fighting.Look at Telengana movement .All; 3 regions of Andhra pradesh speak telugu but still Telanganities are fighting and even commtting suicide fir separate state

SACHBOL Ji,
First of all try to understand what makes you to believe.You should be getting the answer you may be looking for.

Hmm religion does not seem to adequately describe sikhism, or certainly my interpretation of sikhism, I think to adequately describe it for me, there would have to be a 6, if sikhism were to be described as a religion

6. To be in consonance with the truth, and one day, to be the truth

As there is no 6, I have to assume sikhism is a way of life rather than a religion

HARRY HALLER Ji,
Excellent elaboration of the meaning of the word Religion and how Sikhisim can be related to the word Riligion.
Yes,Sikhism is a Marag, A Path, A way to life as per No 6 of your message.

Sachbol ji can you please share the characteristics of your God? It is very undefined without some clear statement of what you understand it to be.

Sat Sri Akal.
