If you have a religion, does it damn everyone else who is not a part of it?

Question

If it does, are you bothered by that? Or does it seem right and normal to you?

Answer 1

I am a taoist, Taoists dont usually focus on the afterlife, not saying there isnt one they just dont delve into the unknown, my personal beliefs are if you are good to others you go to a good place, if you inflict harm upon others your religious affiliation wont save you from the justice you deserve

Answer 2

I got sick of hearing Jehovah's Witnesses backstabbing Baptists. Then I heard Baptists say the Pentecostals are emotional loonies. Then the Pentecostals said that the others don't have a true experience with the Holy Ghost, while the Seventh Day Adventists insist that everybody else is going to hell for Sunday church services, and then ....

Yeah, they love to do a lot of damnation towards others in the Christian faith.

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.

Answer 4

it does seem that alot of religions think their's is the only one and yes, if you don't believe what they do, you'll burn for it.

That's why I believe in nature. I can see it, smell it, feel it, hear it. I know it's real. Tree's and animals don't judge. Water doesn't care what happens to it. Earth is there. Not to sound like a tree hugging hippy (which I'm not) I just don't believe in a higher power. I believe in what I see.

Answer 5

Human beings like you and me have invented religion. So it does not bother me whether it damn eveyone else as after sometime these damned people find a religion of their own.

Answer 6

Contrary to the hate cultists who post in here all the time, the Catholic Church accepts all baptized Christians as brothers and sisters. She DOES NOT condemn everyone who is not Catholic to hell. That is a lie. Here is the proof: CCC:818

As far as the Church's relationship to non-Christian religions is concerned, the Catholic Church accepts truth wherever it is found. Here is the proof:

Answer 7

you seem confused as to how God guides people after He takes away the prophets and messengers.The series of texts and instructions that help a person develop an understanding of their purpose in life,and the preparation for the events surrounding death is called religion.And within the texts are glad tidings directed to those who struggle to implement and live by the tenets of faith.As well as a stern warning for those who die rejecting faith.And since it is The Most High,Who, created all people,and is Well-Aware of His creations,it is He and He Alone Who has established a criterion for the guidance of people.It is a testimonial of faith upon the ones who bear witness to that truth,whether others accept it or reject it,because everything created returns to the One,Who,created it.-Peace!

Answer 8

I have a religion and it doesn't damn anyone who has other beliefs. Well, occasionally you might hear someone saying something about damn Yankees, but that's all.

Answer 9

I have no religion and I've been damned by just about every fundamentalist and evangelical Christian I come across. Does that answer anything for you?

Answer 10

If they teach God's laws, practice goodness, kindness and love, and have respect for one another, then what difference does it make which one you choose to be a part of. If there is criticism towards another's choice of worship, then find another church.
