That's a tough question, but what are you right about? What do you believe? Are you Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist or Atheist? The way I figure it, I have faith and facts to back up my beliefs. There's an overwhelming amount of historical, archaeological, and eyewitness accounts that can back up the Bible and Christianity. Not to mention it is consistent with out contradictions through time. Buddhism, for instance, believes in getting rid of all desires in order to achieve enlightenment. Yet isn't striving for enlightenment a desire in itself? How is that possible when it contradicts itself? In any case, Christianity is consistent and I believe it isn't wrong. (Certain "denominations" that claim to be "christian" are, however, certainly wrong. ie Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. But true Christianity that is not confined to a denomination, but is based solely from the Bible is right.) All I know is that I've lived my life following God, and not following God, and I have to tell you...there's no comparison.

Christians and Muslims and all other theists ARE wrong. Buddhists are right in not having a personal god and that life is a temporary illusion. No, I am not a Buddhist.

If I'm wrong and there is no God and no afterlife - ultimately I haven't lost a thing.

Buddism has a vein of aetheism in it. It states that ultimate I don't exist and when I realize that - I've reached enlightenment. So ultimately does it matter if I believe in Buddha?

Muslims have a bigger problem - Mohammed believed Jesus was a prophet, yet his views on heaven, afterlife and even the means to salvation contradict Jesus. Which means either Jesus was a false prophet (thereby making Mohammed wrong about Jesus and nullifying Mohammed's teachings since he didn't recognize Jesus' teachings as false), or Mohammed was wrong too

However, if you're wrong - you've lost it all.

Have a good day!

I think the majority of Christians are wrong. Jesus didn't die to give me a choice to be saved. If He was the intercedor, then He died to take away the idea that my choices and actions do anything to save me.

The bible says that Jesus and God made the new covenant. The prophets say that Jesus would save the world. It is done. It was done at the cross.

He made belief in Him a law, and then he fulfilled it and took the punishment for any disregard of the law. So, I am free to not believe.

Whether He was specifically sent by God or not, He had it fugured out. We are all righteous because we are just as much the creators as we are the created. We are all spiritually equal.

It doesn't matter to me if He is or isn't. My belief doesn't change.

What if Christians are right? The point is, all you can do is believe what you believe. You can't possible satisfy all the requirements of every religion without contradicting some of the other requirements of another religion. You can't cover all your bases. If you feel the need to believe in something, all you can do is believe what you believe. If any one religion is right, then there is at least one that is wrong. Just pick something and practice what you preach.

Muslims believe Christians and just unenlightened Muslims so we will be forgiven, I will be reincarnated as a bug if buddhists are right, and if your right then I guess I just die.

But what if we're right?

I don't understand why everyone doesn't understand that God doesn't care what religion you are. It is your heart that matters to him. There is no hell. Everyone will go to heaven even if your heart is not exactly right. We all have already been forgiven. You will just have to reincarnate more times than others until you achieve soul growth through enlightenment. Jesus, Mohammad, Jehovah, and Buddha are all there, they were the teachers. It is up to you to work out your own salvation. Just because you believe in Jesus doesn't mean that you won't have to reincarnate until you have worked out your own salvation.

The most strategic plan of Satan is to diminish the power of God, to defame and degrade the power of Jesus Christ, and to stop anyone who may spread the gospel of Christ.

Anything that is of God is not born of confusion. Anything that is evil will cause confusion, deception, lies, and cunning temptations covered in just enough truth to make them seem plausible.

Acts 4:12 This is the only way to salvation. One Way--Jesus Christ. Acts 4:12 says, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name given under heaven by which we must be saved."

No Allah, not Buddah, not Muhammad, not Zeus, not any other name, but Jesus Christ.

To God be the Glory, In Jesus Name!

if i'm wrong i have nothing to lose, i have lived a happy, fulfilled life doing what the God in Heaven guided me in doing. if there is no Jesus, no heaven...no crystal clear river and no tree of life, and no pearly streets and if i don't get to sit at Jesus' feet for eternity and live in a new earth that has no pain and sadness...i am just content that i had the life i had and the way i had it. i don't deserve heaven anyway, it is a gift Jesus offers me. I am following no other no matter what, not now, not ever.

Let me start by saying that no one is right or wrong, Pope JPII stated that all believe in one God, and that if you lead a life of Piety, no matter what the religion, that you are to be considered sons and daughters of God. Buddism is not a religion it is a philosophy of life. So to beleive that one religion is wrong or right is belief that nothing greater than us exists, and that would be a shame, because all humans have always believed in something greater, because it is instilled in our hearts by God himself, but we as humans, and society mold our hearts to grow unaccepting and non religious.
