Why are there so many different religions, but there is only one Creator:God?

Question

Do you think God meant for humans to always be at war with each other?
Is religion natural, or a corrupted form of scripture meant to be used as a form of selfish manipulation to the people?
It doesn't make sense to me.

Answer 1

Religion is definitely natural; although not the religion that we are exposed to today. People are far too extreme and not accepting of others' beliefs. In that sense, it has become a manipulation of the people. True religion isn't church or sin; it's an entirely personal thing-your relationship with God, however you understand him/her/it. Hope I've helped.

Answer 2

"Why are there so many different religions, but there is only one Creator:God?" - Because humans have free will. Religions are created from humans, trying to understand GOD. As you know there is only one GOD. Humans from groups and leaders of these groups are sometimes good, sometimes bad. GOD is unchanging.
" Do you think God meant for humans to always be at war with each other?" - No. GOD does not want killing. GOD wants cooperation, growth, justice, the opposite of what man alone can provide.
"Is religion natural, or a corrupted form of scripture meant to be used as a form of selfish manipulation to the people?" - Yes, naturally human. The rules are generated from either one human or a group of humans - to control more humans. Religions have sometimes done a lot of good - health care, food preparations - but if not revised due to modern scientific methods then it becomes outdated, stagnate and dies. If a religion is bad - it's easy to know, (people die, wealth is coveted, etc.) people are not happy, and quit.
To make sense of humans is too much to ask. Help your family and local community. Stay involved there first. Focus on understanding yourself, then help where you can. Speak out if you can. Trust family first.

Answer 3

No religion is the correct one, and all religions have got it wrong.

There are many major religions in the world, such as Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, and so on. Within each major religion there can also be many minor religions. For example, within Christianity there is Catholic, Protestant, Anglican and so on. Within Islam there is Shiite, Sunni etc.

In summary there are many hundreds of different religions in the world all with their devoted believers and followers. Talk to any devout religious person and they will almost emphatically insist that their religion is the right one, it’s fact, and any non-believer is doomed.

Commonsense and logic would suggest that if there was any truthful or factual basis to religion, then only one of these religions could be correct, not all of them. However, in my view, it’s highly unlikely that any of these man-made religions bear any resemblance to fact or the truth, and are more likely to be the result of simplistic human intelligence looking for an escape from reality.

God is just another fake creation by man.

Humanity has created many Gods, for example – Gods of Olympus, Ancient Egypt, Babylon and so on. Most of us are atheists about most Gods humanity has created, except the latest craze, the current God in the Bible. Learned atheists have also rejected this version of a God, but some hard-core believers still hang on, presumably until a better image of God is created by man.

Faith in God seems to be nothing more than humans attempting to run away from reality, an excuse to avoid thinking and evaluating evidence. Faith is just an emotional escape and really just a substitute for opening your eyes to reason.

Believers talk about God creating man in his own image. It’s in the Bible so it’s fact – get a grip, get real. The facts suggest the exact opposite. Man created God in his own image. I’m sure humanity will disregard this God, as they have disregarded all previous Gods, it’s just a matter of time before humanity creates another God that better serves their emotions and image.

Answer 4

It doesn't make sense because none of it is real.

"God" doesn't want people to kill each other. Not according to religion.

It happens, thought. That's because it is HUMAN NATURE, and some magical being can't change that.

Answer 5

God is like a girl with a lot of suitors. They suitors may do different things or give different gifts but the reason why they do it is the same. To show the girl how they feel and to win her affection and care.

Answer 6

There are many religions because there are many ways to transform your mind.

Proof that they all can work is based of the fact that there are many people in each religion who have transformed themselves into wise compassionate people.

Answer 7

It's to help you grow out of selfish mentality to help other and love them instead of focussing on yourself all the time. It's a way to help someone else out without thinking about selfish gain.

Answer 8

Because none of the religions are true. They are all attempts to answer a question with answers they like, rather than what is true.

Answer 9

The Creator answered that question in part by saying I am the Alpha and the Omega . I have as many names as their are stars in the sky and grains of sand in the oceans. none livies except in me.

Answer 10

Becuase there has been a lot of effort from the "universe" to impart the "law of one" on the planet.


Thats probably too much information for this group.
