Is there any religion that has it right? Personal i think that all of the religions of the world are to selfish and to cought up in them self's. Man got it all wrong when they took an idea and put a Belief structure on it. it is ok to have belives but when you begin to tell some one their belief is wrong, who is really wrong? you or the other person? Should it matter what you have belief in? Should it matter what you have fath in as long as you have fath?

It's one thing to share and another thing to push a religion on others. Don't think anyone will really know who's right or wrong until we get the answers straight from the Boss.

Nobody is right, nor is anyone wrong. In religion there is no such thing as "right"or "wrong". Religion is a personal, irrational belief ( not backed up by solid fact). Some believers might claim that they DO have facts, meaning the bible or the quran or whatever, however, these books were not written by God, they are merely a collection of things written by different people over the centuries.The believer must live according to his/her own personal beliefs and not try to make other people do the same, everybody is, after all, unique.

You just finished watching Dogma, right? Kevin Smith movies tend to bring out the philosophical side in people.
It all depends on what you beleive in. Some would say that all paths end up at the same place. And if you actually look (get down in the nitty gritty of scripture, dogma, and practices), you'll find more similarities and differences in all of the world's religions. Except Scientology. And Mormons.
It's still a relatively unexplored area. Existentialists have been doing it for years, but most of them either turned to politics or insanity (as if it's a viable option. Worked for Neitzche, though).

This is a question I have had on my mind for a long time. I honestly believe that all the religions out there have their good and bad points. I don't think any one is "The" right one. Everyone is different, so it stands to reason that there would be different religions for everyone. I don't think anyone should try and force any religion on anyone. One reason I shied away from the christian religion in my youth was because they believe that all the other religions are wrong and have the compulsion to have to kind of forcefully get other people to join them.

It shouldn't really matter what u have faith in, so long as u have faith. Everyone has faith in something anyway. If you don't have faith in your doctor, for instance, how can you take the drugs prescribed by him? As for religion, I don't think there is any right religion; rather what you can have is "suitable religion", cos what suits you may not necessarily suit me. Does it then mean you are right and I'm wrong? I think not, for then we would be into value judgement and associated politics of religion. Let's refrain from all that: worship whatever you will, and let your conscience and reason be the judge of what is right, rather than rely on the judgement of a book anyone might write to impose on us all!

Yes it does matter as this determines how you spend eternity. If anyone is taking the time to talk to you about Christianity, they are just trying to save your behind. If you really studied any religion, or even took time to read the Bible, before you set yourself up as some kind of judge on the subject. What do you mean when you say, "should it matter what you have faith in as long as you have faith", in what, that your dog is going to scratch himself if he has a flea. If you do not want to read the Bible, just get a dictionary and learn to spell. Good luck.

No religion is really right. Just practice your beliefs and have faith in them. No one, not even a church, can tell you how to have faith. It doesn't happen overnight and is a life-long journey that only you can determine. Best wishes.

I suppose everyone believes his religion, according to his interpretation, is right. I believe that being human is more important then what god and Messiah one believes in. In my opinion, Pat Robertson and "Rabbi" Simcha Cock-Sucker are devils, and Atheists may be nice lovely human beings loved by God.
