I don't think that any religion is wrong but I don't think any are right either. I know what I believe and this is what I believe to be true. I just don't worry about other religions people are entitled to believe what they want. It kind of doesn't seem fair for only one to be right because that means everyone else would suffer and that's not fair because usually (USUALLY) you believe what you believe because of what you're taught by family, where you were born, what your life situation is. I don't know I guess it wouldn't be terrible for everyone to be right but then again I don't know every religion and what they believe so maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea. I guess we'll never truly know who's right until we die but I have to believe that what I believe it true.
p.s. good question . . .

A lot of other religions think everyone else is wrong. Not just Christians. I'm a christian and I think that the reason why we think other religions are wrong is because other people's gods stand for different morals, different after lifes and different ways of living. So it's a completely different god from the Christian god. So each religion teaches something different. It can't be people just worshiping god in their own way, it's a different god their praying to.

A true Christian would never dare to even DREAM of judging another religion, only bible-thumpers and hard core religious fanatics try to be God on earth and judge others. Just because a person's beliefs are different from mine does not mean they are wrong, I'm in the religion I'm most comfortable with and so are they. It's that simple to REAL Christians.

I am a Christian, and I think that there is a very good chance that more than one religion is correct. I think other religions have different ways of seeing God, interpreting prophets, scriptures, etc. and just think differently. But "different" doesn't mean "wrong." It just means "different." I have a very deep respect for non-Christian religions and those who practice them. I certainly don't think that they are going to hell, and I do think that Jesus died for them too. There's no reason why we all can't go to heaven.

Anyone who seriously believes in their own religious system, must by definition, believe all others are wrong...simply because all religions are mutually incompatible on one or more central issues. Therefore, no more than one can be right.
That said, believing someone to hold the wrong beliefs and being intolerant of others who may hold those beliefs are very different issues.

I believe the God of the Bible to be the only God as He is the
One that created the Universe, created mankind, animals,
trees, and everything in the world. Ask yourself if Budda created
the Universe, did Mohammad create the world, did Allah create
the Universe and man? None of these did so that doesn't make
them God. Jesus died and rose again. Did any of the others rise
after death? Nope. So, will we all go to heaven? Just the ones
that believe in the Christ of the Bible that awaits for us in heaven.

I believe that any one who does not believe in Jesus the Sob of God is wrong. There is evidence to prvo the Christianity is the only truth. I don't believe religons pray to the one true God.

Food for thought. God can be called many other names. Only the believer knows if he/she is referring to God Almighty, creator of Heaven and Earth. If you don't know a sin is a sin, then you are not sinning until it is revealed to you as a sin.
You sound like you are really wanting to know. I can't tell you. Only your studying of the word can tell you.

It is a matter of truth. There is absolute truth. There is no "my truth" and "your truth", truth is truth. If I say the sky is blue, is that my truth or absolute truth? If another says the sky is yellow, should I respect that as truth as well? Of course not.
We believe the Bible to be truth. It is inerrant in history, doctrine, and ethics. We believe in order to worship God, on must do so in truth.
"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth". (Joh 4:24)
We believe that Jesus Christ was real, lived a perfect life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose on the third day. That is truth. We believe the words of Christ, since there is no reason to believe He would ever say anything that was not true.
"I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6)
Therefore, since Jesus is truth and speaks truth, anything that contradicts this cannot also be true.
