    Many other religions mix their religious beliefs with politics. Daniels states we as Christians should

    stand up and be counted. We should constantly strive to seek God's will. We should continuously pray

    to Him, giving Him praises and honour and glory.

    We should strive to be righteous. In doing this we are seen as perfect in God's eyes. The angels

    rejoice with Him when sinners receive the Holy Spirit in their lives. They weep when a soul is lost to the

    fires.

    There is constant bickering in Religion where there is only love amongst Christians. Just as the

    Muslims state that to be truly Muslim you must obey every law given in the Koran. God originally gave

    us ten commandments, but He reduced them to two. Thou shalt love the Lord your God with all your

    heart, all your soul and all your mind, and the second is like unto it, thou shalt love your neighbour as

    yourself. All the rest of the commandments are built into only those two.

    However, just as He gives you only two, He also states that should you break one the commandments

    you break them all.

    So how do we see Christianity and religion? Religion is a teaching and a tradition. Handed down

    through the generations. Christianity is a way of life given to us by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. It's a

    means to cleanse our thoughts and hearts. Its a means to bring us to the feet of Christ. Its a means to

    make requests that only our heavenly Father can answer.

    Its that warm fuzzy we experience when we know that our Lord and Saviour is near to us, loves us

    and keeps us eternally safe.
