If I follow religion, I have to be holy to their standards, and not what I feel in my heart.
Do I have to be apart of religion to know God?

I go through mother nature to talk to god. She will relay my message. Jesus was born of the virgin mother, the mother being a representation of the earth itself. Seems to me that this means I can pray to god through the earth. If I'm wrong, I'll wind up in hell where my friends are
I think God is just as diverse as all of existence. God IS existence. Since we exist, we are part of God. Dare I say, we ARE God much like a cell in our body IS us. But this is just my own belief. I acknowledge they could be wrong. Of course, the religious would never acknowledge such a thing.

If you got that feeling - without having to sit through boring sermons, or having people tell you where you're going wrong - then stick with that!
The Christians will tell you Jesus is the only way.
The Muslims will tell their way is the true way.
And then various other sects all in between.

Jesus said "No one can come to Me, unless the Father who sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up on the last day.'' (John 6:44)

Is it possible to make it into the gates or hereafter, while having a one on one with God?
