No, I really wouldn't want that. I would rather have multiple religions and have people respect one another's beliefs. Why can't all religious people adopt the belief that there is no one and only true way to relate to deity/ies? We all have different cultures, histories, worldviews, and priorities. I really don't want to see all of that watered down and dumbed down for mass appeal. I like the diversity. And not all faiths believe that they follow the "one true way for everyone" and they do not desire to convince or even force others to believe the way that they do. Besides, haven't there been societies in the past that have unsuccessfully tried to force one religion upon their people?

I'm sorry, but that could never happen. When someone has true faith in a religion, you can't just tell them to go against their Holy Book. From a Christian perspective, you couldn't tell us that there is no God like the Buddhists believe, or that there are many gods like the Hindus or Shintoists believe. You couldn't tell us to worship nature around us like the Wiccans, or any other dictates of other religions that run contrary to the Bible.
While there is goodness in each religion, there can be only one true religion as they all can't be right. The Bible makes an exclusive claim and I believe that book over all others.

first, to do this would be to say that there is no absolute truth, that everything is relative.. second, the Bible teaches something completely different than the quran, which teaches something very different than the book of mormon and the teachings of confucius.. how can you have a religion that condradicts itself at every turn? you cannot teach that Jesus Christ is the Savior, that Jesus Christ was just a man, that Jesus Christ was a great prophet, and that Christians are infidels worthy of being killed in the name of allah, all in the same religion.. i think its obvious why that wouldnt work..

Rather makes sense to me.. Since the Basic foundation of each is 1 god.. Always wanted to know why they all insist their God is THE one, but yet all say there is ONLY 1 god..
So therefore every religion is breaking the golden rule of not sposed to believe in false prophets...

The bahais have pretty much wrapped everything up into one neat little package. they pretty much take all faiths, and turned them into one religion. they believe that Jesus, Budah, Joseph smith, and all those ppl were just religious leaders of there time. All sent by God to teach us what we needed at that point.
though if you really get down to it, and have any knowledge of revelation, there kinda freaky. They want the world to have one religion, one language, and one form of currency. All of those are mentioned in revelations, as signs of the end of days

I say give it a try man. People are always looking for the better religion. They might not say it but secretly inside they are. I can almost guarantee you will get at least 100 followers.

If He is almighty, then He can fix this, but He doesn't, so He doesn't seem to want, so we better not suggest something that He doesn't want or He may step on us and squish us like a little ant.
Alternatively, He is dead or has gone on a long vacation. Probably to Thailand.
