Do you consider some religions "inferior"? Why?

Question

Non-dogmatic answers please.

Answer 1

No religion is inferior. All religions have different beliefs and traditions, and all of them have this special aspect that makes them unique.

Answer 2

I consider some religions to be false religions. Nearly all religions have some merit.

I don't use the words "superior" or "inferior" in describing other religions.

Most major religions try to bring out the best in people and that is good regardless of what the religion is.

Answer 3

This answer is going to require alot of backround.

But I would say yes. the Wiccan, Witch Craft, Satanic, Black Magic, voodoo, and all that stuff is Inferior to god.

Both have power to do mirricles, and both are convincing in their own right. Bot only God gives eternal life.

Obviously im speaking of Christianity, but substitute any religion with a Single God head and pit it against the evil powers and I say it is inferior.

Answer 4

I believe that all religions are equal to each other, but that not all religions speak to all people. For instance, I grew up Catholic. But I did not agree with many of the teachings and dogmas of the Church. They did not speak to me or resonate to me and my inner need to seek truth. So, after I got married and left home, I began a spiritual journey that eventually led me to Buddhism, which speaks to me, and whose tenets and beliefs I find myself comfortable with. This is not to say that the Catholic Church is inferior to the Buddhist religion. It just didn't ring true for me. None is better than the other. A great rabbi once said "all paths lead to God." Some are more scenic than others. But all lead to love of humanity and the desire to help humankind.

Answer 5

Religion is useless -- unless it is "pure", as it says in the Epistle of James (ch. 1:27): "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."
What you believe may be important, but the practical outcome is even more important!

Answer 6

I'm not sure how I would phrase it, but there are some religions that run by the word of the bible more than others, but at the same time they may also have more worldly regulations.

Answer 7

well, not "inferior", but crazy.

some things that are called religion shouldn't be since they are cults. like scientology. i don't think it should be given the status of religion since they are an organization who's primary purpose is to make as much money off its followers as possible. through routine brainwashing of course, by telling them they have to give money to ascend to higher levels, and by telling them that they cannot speak to anyone who opposes scientology, even if that is the person's mother or spouse. this is bullcrap at its lowest level. religion is supposed to help you lead a better life, not suck you dry.

Answer 8

I would not use the word inferior. I would use the word false. If any religion claims there is any way to God other than by Jesus Christ, in my opinion....that is a false religion.

Answer 9

I believe all religions to be equal. They all have different beliefs, customs and traditions that molds a society.
Religion is seen as way to show are faith in god, ideal or in others. Religion strengthen the ties of ethnicity and culture.

Answer 10

No..Infact there are some religions which preach and recognize other religions as well. I am told Hinduism,Buddhism to name a few encourages adherence to other religions. Most religions however preach that god is supreme by whatever name it may be called by its followers.
