By the way I beilive anyone could be right. I don't think anyone is wrong. There are millions of relgions too. With cults and other small things. They are still relgions even if they only have 10 followers. They just won't get noticed.

Answer 1

It isn't right. It's probably mostly wrong.

Answer 2

I m a Theravāda tradition of Buddhist , My Religion is right because i can understand many phenomenas like:

why there are so many religions and God let them? why God never show Himself to public? Why people suffering on his life, the cause of suffering, and how to erase the suffering? How not to become old, sick and die? Why someone born in the rich family and the other not? why some countries get natural disaster and the others not? Why some people smile but the others cry? Why there are ghost, satans and angel and who are they? Is a better person get a better heaven or not from the others? Why there is a phenomena like dejavu? why some child are nice but the others are bad even they were born in same time? Why there are beautiful women and the other are not? why there are smart men but the other are not?

I can understand it now since i meet Buddhism, even i studied at christian's school + University for 22 years and live in a majority moeslems country.

Remember my religion is right but i never claimed that the others are 100% wrong. Because some of them teach good morals and actions that as good as Buddhism.

Ifa.
Ours is one of the few where we can actually give offerings to our Orisas, Ancestors, etc to help us out of problems, obtain material successes, protection from others, romance and relationships, etc.
I am not saying other religions can't work or help their people reach their "heaven" or whatever. But we live here and now and don't have to worry about being scared about not having to reach some possible heavenly afterlife.

Answer 4

My religion is right, because it works for me and fulfills me in a way no other religion can. I don't think it is the only right one though, nor do I think someone is wrong for having different beliefs. I just know that I can't change what I believe.

Answer 5

I dont have any religion and cannot understand the need for one. I live in a Bhudist country and the people here are the nicest people I have ever met in my 64 years. So I guess their religion must be pretty good

Answer 6

Religion is about living life as best as possible. To live life morally and happily. To be a person with principles such as loving oneself and loving others, even your enemies. People twist the words of their religious ideal into their own personal interests causing war and suffering, and this turns people away from religion. But just because one person couldn't live up to the true ideals of their religion, doesn't mean that you can't. Catholicism, Judaism, and and Islam all teach peace, but certain groups of people aren't living up to it. Doesn't mean that you can't.

Answer 7

My religion is right because it is the one which follows the teachings of the Bible. It does not allow any additions or subtractions or changes from what is in the Bible. The Bible is very specific and should never be "interpreted" or "changed" to "fit" what one would wish a religion to be.

Answer 8

I don't think there's any one religion that's the only right one. I think every one of us is on our own individual path to God; it's like God is in the center of a wheel and we're all on the rim, choosing a path that seems comfortable or right to us. I don't think we can fully understand or define God, so therefore none of our human religions can be "right." I think we tend to choose a spiritual path that seems comfortable to us, based on how we were raised, our culture, etc. And I think that God has limitless love for every human created, and wouldn't condemn any of them just for believing the "wrong" religion.

Answer 9

There are many religions in the world. They do not all teach the same thing. In fact, many of them contradict each other. So, they can't all be true and it cannot be said that each is a different path to God. What are we to say about all those other religions compared to Christianity? To get to the point, all other religions besides Christianity are false.

If Jesus is who He said He was, God in flesh, then whatever He says is authoritative and true. He said that He was the way the truth in the life and that nobody comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). Right there,we see that any other way, according to Jesus, is not true.

Christianity bases its truth and its doctrine on the word of God, the Bible. In the word of God, Jesus claims to be the only way. Since He performed many miracles, raised people from the dead, commanded a storm to be still and it obeyed, healed diseases, and rose from the dead Himself, then we are forced to face the reality of His words. Is what He said true or not? Either Jesus is a liar, a lunatic, or He is Lord. No one else in history, except Jesus, has fulfilled detailed prophecies, performed many miracles before eyewitnesses, and risen from the dead. Jesus is unique.

For those of us who are Christians, we have trusted what Christ has said. We believe in what He said and did. Like it or not, Jesus is the one who said He was the only way. It is not the Christians who are being "narrow-minded." It is Jesus. Therefore, to say that other religions can be true means that Jesus is false. To say that there are other ways to God, also means that Jesus is false. This is what it comes down to. Either Jesus is who He said He was and what He said is true, or He is false. This is a choice you must make. To trust what He said or reject His words.

In all major religions, the followers strive to rid themselves of sin through various practices. They may pray in a prescribed way, do various good works, deny themselves legitimate sexual pleasure, follow dietary restrictions, lie on beds of nails, etc. The uniqueness of Jesus is shown in His statement, "The Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins." No other religious leader has ever made this claim. Jesus Christ alone can wash away every sin anyone has ever committed, be-cause of what He did on the cross. By paying the penalty for our sin, He can release us from the torture of guilt. We cannot do anything in the way of religious works to wash away our sins. Forgiveness is a free gift of God (Ephesians 2:8,9).

Answer 10

i think there's no such thing as the right religion, just the right religion/spiritual path for you.

people get so worked up over this because they are convinced they are correct, which i just figure shows they found a religion that is a good match for their beliefs, and more power to them.

Answer 11

My religion is the right one for me. I don't make choices for other people. No one will ever truly know what religion is truly right until we die. We can't tell anyone then so just go with what feels right. Mine feels right to me.
