The one that you feel helps you the most in your day to day life. If you go to the services and get nothing out of it, keep looking.

What's the point then? I was under the assumption that there is only one heaven and if you are praying to the wrong god then you are just wasting your time.

In grade 6 one Sunday my mom asked if I wanted to go to church at noon or in the evening. I picked the evening, later in the afternoon my friend calls me saying he has tickets to go see WWF Raw. I ask my mom if I can go and she tells me I have to go to church. Fucking pissed. My other friend gets to go and he high dived Shawn Micheal. God was a real bastard that day.

It doesn't even matter though. Either way your argument is "my god is too impotent to let everyone on earth know exactly what he wants in a way that gets everyone on the same page". Like i said, get a more powerful god. Yours is shit and just sits by wringing his hands like an old grandma, wishing he could do something while the reverent can't agree with each other on what he wants, what he likes, what he dislikes, or any such simple topics.

The argument he and I were having was related to man's judgement not worship. There are differences in worship among denominations and many churches worship in different ways. Some are traditions created by man that are different in every church, others are traditions handed down by Jesus (the important ones) that are universally held like prayer, baptism, communion, Jesus is the son of God and the only way to the father is through him.

Something like this can't be answered in a short space, because each assertion comes with it's own set of questions that will just depart from the initial question.

I'd start answering that question by saying that truth is exclusive, not equivocal. A lot of people, mostly detractors, like to think the Bible itself is open to interpretation, and any interpretation can be equally true. That's not the case, God isn't the great confuser of all things.

The case for Judeo-Christian faith is not man's interpretation of it, it's God's declaration of it. He does allow for your free will to suggest an interpretation subjectively, and all men are very subjective creatures. But all the suggestion in the world won't make an interpretation true. He also demands faith. Without faith, there is no pleasing God (The questions/accusations concerning this can become a novel in and of itself).

Other religions teach ethics, not theology. Man kinds efforts to reach God or Heaven, without really revealing anything about God. They teach man's works as a means to attaining God; they're told from the base point of mans efforts. They're man-centric.

Christianity is the acknowledgment of God reaching down to man. God can't be reached by any action of man, apart from God's revealing of himself to man. On the one hand, you have books of ethics and social morals, on the other you have the revelation of our creator, and the distinction of His actuality apart from the worlds idols.

No other prophet, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, etc, could make the claims that Jesus made. From being sinless, to his resurrection, to being the actual God/Creator Himself made flesh.

I could go on...

That really doesn't sound to "christian", as I understand Christianity.
