Jesus answered a group of Jews and said, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, ye are gods'?" (John 10:34)

There are many people who believe this passage states that man can become GODS.
(5 PERCENTERS, MORMONS, and other people)

my question is, have these groups/people twisted the meaning of this passage(like many others) from its original REAL meaning in the bible?

Read this before anything:

I don't know how many times I have been asked, “If there is no God, how can there be right or wrong?” Let me ask you this Christians. How can there be right or wrong even if God does exist. All God does is judge us humans. He decides what’s right and what’s wrong on Earth, but who does God have to answer to??? Who judges God??? According to you Christians, he doesn't have to answer to anyone. Before God created us, he was in the same position we atheists are in now. He was just something that existed all by himself with no divine moral compass to follow. He, like us atheists, had to define right from wrong without a divine moral compass. Which leads me to believe that even if there was a God, right and wrong is totally based on personal opinion, not a divine power.

I didn't want to say the most hated because any answer you give may seem like an offence.
1) What religion do you reject the most?
2) In short, what makes you reject that religion?
3) have you read about that religion or you just reject it becuase it is different from yours?
4) If somebody from that religion you reject offered to explain the misunderstanding that you have aginst their religion are you willing to listen to them?
5) Are you able to believe what they say about their religion or as long as it contradics with your beliefs you call it lies?

Please answer my questions honestly. It will help you discover how tolerant you are.
Tolerating other people's beliefs does not necessarly mean that you accept them nor it means that you should change your beliefs. It simply means that you have a good heart.

Please no hurt feelings. My purpose of asking this question is to gather people form

Gen.24:
2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy HAND UNDER MY THIGH:

Gen.47:29 And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy HAND UNDER MY THIGH, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:

do you consider your religion to be the "right" one?

I'm honestly not trying to start a fight or anything, I just want to know where people are coming from since I am not very religious at all.

Also, how do you feel about people with very different beliefs than yourself?

I have no problem with equal pay or many of the other wishes. I am talking about how some women blame men for all problems and promote sexism. Isn't replacing one prejudice with another just as wrong? Since we know sin isn't a man or a woman thing it is a human condition that affects us all. I see this attitude in the church sometimes and wondered if others have and how they feel about it?

In total darkness? Or is it just pure ignorance?
Does the average, educated person know that there are brown, yellow, cream, ochre,grey, reddish-brown and maybe even hundreds of beautiful shades in-between, but only one colour of everyone's blood---red. Let's be serious and not see humanity through blinkers.....

Your kind and clear thoughts on these? Personal experiences appreciated.
