Why is your religion the "True" Religion?

Question

please don't quote your books, that is like John Kerry using the Washington Post as a source or Dubya using Fox News as a source.

so far keri has the best answer

I am glad to see many people are respectful of others beliefs in that they do not believe it is the "truth" that is said, but Keri's answer is best because it is her truth

Answer 1

I don't believe my religion is "the True religion." I believe it's true for me, and can be meaningful for others. All I can do is share what is true for me, but that doesn't mean it has to be, or is true for others.

Answer 2

Definition of the word RELIGION:

1) Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.

2) A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.

In the sense of your question, any religion that manifests the above is "true". That is, it truly qualifies as religion. A false one would be one that purports to be a religion, but is false because, according to the way the word is defined, does not meet the above criteria. Beliefs are beliefs because they are not proofs. Faith cannot be true or false. Faith is unempirical.

Now, had you asked, "Which religion worships the one true God?" that would be different. And still you would not get an empirical answer.

Thus the world has been and shall ever be.

Answer 3

if we arent supposed to quote anything, how else would we know? by denying what we believe is God's revelation, then we dont have anything. being denied the available evidence and challenged to prove a point is a logical fallacy

when you ask an atheist, what evidence they would need to believe a god exists, the most common answer i hear is "to see him and that he will really impress me." Jesus came two thousand years ago, and he most definitely impressed everyone. not only was he an outstanding teacher but he went all over healing the sick, giving the blind sight, allowing the lame to walk, raising the dead, etc. People saw his miracles and believed.

However, of course, as generations pass the oral stories are forgotten or dumbed down and people stop believing them. if our main record of his time on earth is in a book and people today refuse to read about it, they are willingly denying the evidence God sent to earth.

there is evidence out there, you just need to look in the right place

Answer 4

My religion is Sikhism.It's Universal approach, and its teachings are for all humanity as it unfolds the way to live in this world and to achieve salvation after death.Our Guru's insisted that they be considered a teacher and messengers of God.Hatred towards none and love to all.Ethics and morality are the basis of Sikhism.The Sikhs follow personal ethics like telling the truth,gentle speech,fair play,service to humanity,humility and tolerance.Sikhism believes that this is a just and moral world.Though some bad people may seem to thrive,sooner or later, they will have their punishment.God is strict judge and He treats people according to their deserts.A lot of stress is laid on elimination of egoism.

The Gurus as true teachers showed us a way forward to the removal of inequality through justice,equality and freedom.Religion in true sense is not of rituals,but of fellowship and self discipline.Hypocrisy and double standards erode our character and hinder our progress.A Sikh's recognition of the brotherhood of all ordinary people is illustrated in Sangat(congregation) and Pangat(Free kitchen).The Guru's love of humanity made them declare that there was truth in all revelation.Man must follow and practice sincerely, the COMMANDS of his own Religion.

Today we witness a revival of Sikhism all over the world.Sikhs are discovering the truth of the Guru's message by studying Gurbani.Non-Sikhs are being influenced by the zeal and dedication of Sikhs to projects of community-welfare and voluntary service.More Sikhs are taking Amrit as they try to become Guru Gobind Singh's saint -soldiers.The growth of Sikhism in the United States of America is a testimony to the relevance and vitality of the Guru's teachings in this day and age.Not only there is great increase in the number of Sikhs, but also a new enthusiasm to follow the teachings of the Gurus in daily life.Sikhism is now a World Religion, it has a great part to play in building bridges of understanding and friendship between the different nations of the world and in the promotion of global peace.

Answer 5

You wouldn't stay in it if you didn't believe it was the true religion would you. So we go with what we believe. Is there a best religion? A bad religion? Is there anyone with no religion? Everyone believes something about religion, even atheists and agnostics.

Answer 6

I don't have any religion. I appreciate the sayings of Buddha, his experiences in following his own spiritual path. Doing this there is no need for a religion, no need for priests, no need for holy books. Simply try things out, look at your own experiences in doing this and continue to do the successful things and drop the useless ones.

Answer 7

I dont think there is one true religion. I think many of them have peices of it right. Now, I believe I have truth for me, but also that others have truth for them. I dont believe there can be one true religion.

Answer 8

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. That's why it's the "true religion".

Answer 9

Well, who would admit to following the "false" religion. We all want what we believe to be true. We put our faith in it, and we bank on it being true. It gives us a sense of security.

Answer 10

All religions are equally evil and misguiding. Break the barrier of religion and meet your Creator personally.

Answer 11

Because you chose to believe in that religion and human belief blinds a person so much so that you are closed to whatever opinions others may have. that's why it's called blind faith!
