True, for the definition of "religion" includes man attempt to appease an angry God at war with our sins. Christianity, on the other hand, is a loving God's design to approach fear-filled man with a covenant of eternal peace.

She made a statement about religion, so I would tell her this: Don't make a churchie statement if you don't want a churchie answer.

"...there is no religion that can save me, no matter how long my knees are on the floor....." comments? "You are so right that no religion can save you, and you are even more right about your knees being on the floor., thats a good start". See what response that will render..

Marilyn, is your cousin saved.?
That type of question could come from a born again believer, making a true statement, or from an un-saved person who wants no part of "religion".

Tell her to focus on her Savior, not on religion.
