Mormonism is the only necessarily correct religion; as in SOME part of the multi-verse they are right and in their religion says it covers every possible multi-verse.

Mormons are the right religion.

QED

On the plus side, ending up in "outer darkness" is reserved only for the likes of hitler and such; so most atheists etc. are going to end up "pleasantly surprised" by the mormon afterlife.

I have a feeling this was not meant to be a serious thread but thought I'd reply to it seriously anyway. I say Born Again Christian. Not a religion, more a way of life, if I can put it that way. It's cut and dry and follows the Bible and only the Bible. No man made rules or weird interpretations.

All you have to do to go to heaven is become saved, which is done by accepting Jesus in your heart and accepting the fact that you are a sinner bound to hell, but that Jesus took your place on the cross and rose again. Believe in that, pray for Jesus to come in your heart, and you are saved. People who are serious about wanting to become saved have been known to be completely transformed, don't worry about having to quit habits that you don't want to quit. It will happen if it's God's will. You'll just feel it's not right, and stop. My dad was a huge alcoholic before he got saved. He did not want to have anything to do with "this Jesus stuff" but he felt something was missing, and he ended up becoming saved. Eventually gave up alcohol and became a better person. Start by going to a Born Again church with someone you know. When someone speaks and gives their testimony this has been known to open people's eyes. It's probably the best start. Baptist and Pentecost is very similar but they have a few of their own rules but mostly follow all the same principle. Catholic is close, but I find it's run too much like a business and they don't put enough essene on why Jesus died on the cross, and what you have to do to be saved.

I could go on, but I'm going to simply end by mentioning the fact that you can eat bacon at church, on Good Friday. Heck, my church usually has a brunch/breakfast before the service. You can't say no to bacon.

Do you think there's anyone left who doesn't know this?

My parents were free-base coke addicts but after they accepted Christ they were clean; These things happen, no doubt.

But I think people that need that kind of change know where the harbor in the storm is; so proselytizing is unneeded (unless you are questioned regarding why you have the hope in Christ that you do)

Christianity does not want those who's loyalty can be bought and sold with a price.
We need individuals who have a sincere desire to persue a life based on faith in the devine nature, death, & resurrection of the man called Christ.

But I bet if I sign 10% of my paycheck to your religion, I'd be accepted in a heart beat, amirite? 😎

Hhaahhaah.

they wish they were quitters; They lost their home, their jobs, and their minor children all the while swearing they would quit, honestly trying to quit, I believe.

It was only by faith in Christ that their lives were turned around.

That's EXACTLY what Jesus said to those fishermen and tax collectors.
 
Discordianism is the one true religion.

What would that be? One does not suggest that a person could be saved without an idea of that from which the person needs saving. That is, if one is not an idiot.

It would be whatever it may be, or what is to come. That's for him and his religion to find out. Some may find they are best suited with no religion and thus are saved from religion. Each person is a snowflake in a blizzard, all beautiful and unique in their own wonderful way.

Also. Calm down.

Why is religion something from which someone should be saved?

Metaphorical to points 1-4. Point 5 - no you aren't, you try way too hard, as evidenced by your signature, to be anything remotely calm in a religion thread.
