Q&A Home > R > Religion & Faith

• After seeing this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IAhDGYlpqY&sns=fb, I am perplexed. I thought that religion is a set of beliefs in accordance to our faith so how can a person love Jesus and hate religion at the same time?
• I apologize for my excessive questions/comments but as of lately because I have been getting so many different thoughts about the moment of death and what follows, according to the orthodox church in general, I have began to doubt the existence of God because of these contradictories/uncertainty. I have asked two Coptic priests, and they mentioned eternal life, but were very uncertain about the intermediate state. I have recently begun to view miracles as coincidences and that these occurrences do not necessarily correlate to God. I feel as if we as humans create religion as a source of comfort. In general, just the differences among the churches in Christianity makes me doubtful. Forgive me for disturbing you.
• Please explain the difference between religion and faith, if there is any? If there is a difference, is it the one religion that leads to everlasting life? If Jesus founded the Coptic religion, who gave it its name? It is not Jesus, is it?
