can you say any nice things about other religions?

Question

I thought it would be interesting if, when presented with a list of religions, people could think of a least one nice thing to say about each one.10 points if for most complete list and for taking it serious (This list is off the top of my head so bear with me)

Catholic
Lutheran
Mormon
Methodist
Lutheran
Protestant
Evangelical
Judaism
Islam
Witnesses
Hindu
Bhudism
Born again
Feel free to add on

Answer 1

Catholic-This is what I am. They' great. lol
Lutheran-Very similar to Catholics. I like that they too believe in the Eucharist
Mormon-Great Family Values
Methodist-Open Minded
Protestant-This is non Catholics who are christian right? To generalize protestant who are not an above mentioned they believe and follow Christ
Evangelical-Profound and Open about their faith
Judaism-God's Chosen people. Obedient
Islam-Moral and Just (I know people would disagree but look at the NORMAL Muslims, not trying to insult anyone)
Witnesses-Following the commandment "Go ye out and tell all the nations"
Hindu-I just don't know enough about them. I asked an Indian man I worked with about Hinduism but he said it was not for me to know. I do know most hindus are not afraid of giving sexual love towards their spouse. I think this can be good.
Buddhism-Respectful to all life
Born again-Proud of Their Faith
Baptist-Most baptist i know do as they say, not hypocritical.

I think you covered most of the religions I can think of.

Answer 2

Catholic - Beautiful style in worship
Lutheran - The founder, Martin Luther's theological insights helped provide a doctrinal foundation for other christian movements, mainly protestants
Mormon - Rich in history. Love reading about Early time mormons and there struggles to spread the word.
Protestant - Not afraid of Public Testimony, Not Afraid to be a witness nor afraid to stand against something.
Evangelical - Brave Bro's and Sis's Spreading the Word of God
Judaism - God's Chosen
Islam - Beautiful Religion. If I hadn't of found Jesus Christ as my personal savior I could have probably been easily converted to the religion. I am often intrigued by the religion itself. Though sadly I have studied more about it than my own.
Hindu - No nothing about the religion, so can not speak of good or bad.
Bhudism - all i can say is isn't is funny how all of our religions are so closely related.

Answer 3

I shall try and then I shall add at least one, okay

Catholic - they hold Mary in high esteem, they have a lot of show, with their robes and the wine and bread.
Lutheran - has a heritage rich in theology and doctrine.
Mormon - has a strong family unit and promotes families staying together.
Methodist - aimed more towards all people and not just the wealthy.
Protestant - Didn't just accept the Bible to be the only source of knowing God.
Evangelical - merely means to be Christian.
Judaism - according to my mother they are God's "chosen" people. My mother has studied Judaism for many years and she holds this religion in high esteem, so there for, I am respectful.
Islam - Seems to accept other religions with respect.

Honestly I just studied about this religion because of your question, but I will go back and study some more.

Witnesses - I am going to understand this as people who have witnessed God or Jesus and are here to share their story of Love.
Hindu - They do not stop the growth of each one's individual development.
Bhudism - Spirit and Faith over Matter, knowing of the collective whole.
Born again - usually in reference to a person who has lived a life of sin and renounces their sin and lives their life in God's image.

Some of my responses may seem like definitions, I would like to apologize for that, some were. Although I have heard of a few, I could not say anything on them. I wanted to show respect for all.

You said we could add more, I just want to add one more.

Paganism - doesn't mean the same to all Pagans. There are MANY paths in the Pagan religion. For the most part, Pagans believe in God, just not the same one Christianity has portrayed for ever. Pagans believe in nature and the governing forces over nature. There is balance and there is harmony, but not all of the time.

I believe that religion is a path to Spirituality and I don't believe we were all meant to take the same path. I believe in goodness but sometimes I am less than good, I am human and all I can do is strive to be as good as I can be.

Answer 4

Religion comes from "religere" to bind. (The same root in "ligament")
- What makes all religions good is that they provide an architectural behavioral framework which is time-tested, supporting the individual. At an advanced level, a religious community forms something reminiscent of a multi-cellurlar organism as individual members let go of their own egos. This is an important part in human development. Note though that true leadership talent though is never submissive, has ruled from childhood on, this is the biggest dilemmanof the multi-cellular organism: It must find one cell that does not submit, and admit that one into its center if goal-similarity exists.

In the meantime, we still have a traffic grid problem, so tell your
friends about Hallitubes -

Answer 5

Sure if pressed I guess I could manage to muster up a few good points. But don't think this will convert me to any of them.

Protestant: (Also known as Anglican or Episcopalian) Allows Female Priests, similar traditions of Catholic Church without as much hypocrisy.
American Episcopalian Church is starting to not only allow Gay/Lesbian bishops but also to oversee Gay/Lesbian marriages!

Evangelical: Fun for the whole family! (oops that wasn't really nice, it was more sarcastic)

Islam: Respects women (at least REAL Muslims do...)

Witnesses: Incredible sense of community

Hindu: Creative

Buddhism: Enlightening

Born Again: (Not really a religion of it's own. It's actually just a term used to define those who have either found Christ or rededicated their lives to Christ)

Quakers: Amazingly peaceful and forward thinking!

Amish: True to their fundamental principles

Paganism: Loving and accepting

Judaism: True to their beliefs of being the "chosen" ones. Interesting traditions.

Islam: 72 virgins for a severed head and, the ability to beat wives
Buddhism; Made the loin cloth a part of everyone life!

Answer 7

Yes, we can certainly say that other religions have different perspectives that can be helpful. The other day I read a quote that said each religion (or denomination) is like a flashlight shone in the darkness --each one illuminates a little spot while darkness remains in the surrounding area. We need all these "flashlights" to help us see the bigger picture that none of us can see by ourselves because we are mere humans trying to comprehend the Divine Infinite.

Answer 8

I am a Christian, raised Protestant, and have chosen to be a Catholic for the past 30 years. If I had no formal religion, I believe I would be most likely to practice Taoism: "We believe in the formless and eternal Tao, and we recognize all personified deities as being mere human constructs. We reject hatred, intolerance, and unnecessary violence, and embrace harmony, love and learning, as we are taught by Nature. We place our trust and our lives in the Tao, that we may live in peace and balance with the Universe, both in this mortal life and beyond."

Answer 9

Catholic Great education system, traditional & steadfast
Lutheran Disciplined, determined & supportive
Mormon Well presented, devout & polite
Methodist Same as Lutheran
Protestant Welcoming, moderate & well principled
Evangelical Cheerful, happy & fixed
Judaism Serious, ceremonious & well organised
Islam Focused, unwavering & sincere
Witnesses Faithful, fearless & polite
Hindu Spiritual, happy & broadminded
Bhudism Peacefull, austere & tolerant
Born again Enthusiastic, bright & cheerful

Answer 10

More than half of those are christians.

"Christian" is one religion, with many different subsets. Methodist and Lutheran, for example, are not two separate religions. They're separate denominations.

And no, i can't say something nice about each one of them. That's basically just overgeneralizing and stereotyping. I know people of different religions that i like, and people of different religions that i don't like. The positive of negative qualities of a person are separate from their religion.

Answer 11

Catholic - (what I am.) Very traditional
Lutheran - (what my best friend is) Easy going
Mormon - (what several friends are) Devout
Methodist - don't know much about them
Lutheran - already listed
Protestant - (you do realize that seveal of the religions you've listed are Protestant religions? This is a blanket term.) took a stand
Evangelical - don't know much about them
Judaism - Also very traditional
Islam - most devout
Witnesses - determined
Hindu - open minded
Buddhism - peaceful
Born again - don't know much about them
