nothing you can do. Have faith or don't. Worship in peace, and do not judge the choices of others. This is a contest: when you arrive in heaven, God will tell you if you have chosen correctly. If you are wrong, you will spend eternity in hell. Good Luck!

We can't get the truth, which is probably a good idea, as it will leave billions of people across the Earth feeling completely despondent and with no hope.
The reason religions are so successful is because they cannot be proved or disproved, and rely on the fundamental question that we ask about unknowns: "What if...?"
Every person who is of a religious persuasion will tell you that their religion is the truth.
Unfortunately, there is not much we can do in resolving the differences, as the narrow-mindedness of each religion does not allow acceptance of another.
Ultimately, I think it will lead to the downfall of mankind, and the end of the human race. This is only fuelled further by the fact that some religions actually use "the end of the world" as a means to brainwash people into joining their sect.
In my own opinion, and being someone who has died and been brought back to life, I can say that as far as I was (un?)aware, there was nothing. No tunnel. No light. No consciousness. No nothing. One moment I was in one place, then suddenly I was somewhere else.

This is a very good question. I don't really believe there is one true religion. I believe that since our world is so diverse in people, animals, and plant life even rock formations, that whatever diety there is probably isn't based on one true religion.
I believe on a religion being true for each individual. Whether it's believeing in Yaweh or Allah, following the teachings of Confusion or Buddha; it all depends on what makes a person happy.
So if you are looking for a one true religion, you won't find it. Organized religion is an institution of man not of God or whatever Creator is out there. Look for what makes you happy and at the end of the day makes you sleep better at night.

No ones ever going to find one big universal truth, and there will always be different religions and differences of opinions. That's the trick with free will, we're all free to pick whatever we like.
Diversity is what makes life interesting, and the religion battle is a favorite argument here :)

That is a fair question,
i believe the bible has your answers,
Yet i know lthat the bible is written by men,, and men lie,
I have decided to believe lthe bible, and if there is anything that i think is questionable, then pray for the wisdom, and pray and exercise faith that God, will lput the answers in our mind, and give us reasonable choices, to choose,
FAITH, IT IS HARD, SOMETIMES, AND ME WRITING THIS REALLY SOUND LIKE A HIPPOCRIT (i probably spelled it wrong) BUT i am working on faith,, it is a tough one, but i choose to believe, that there are many streets, and avenues, to get to a destination,, and i believe that God will somehow, send help? OR SHOW US ALL, A WAY to find his truth,, as he is just and good and ALLMIGHTY,,
Some people have small minds, and that is unfortunate, but the GOD I KNOW EXISTS, Does not let man judge, and make his rules, and i believe he is greater than the very greatest man or womans thinking,, and keep that in mind, not try to second guess GOD, but be faithful, and loving, and sincere, and humbly repent, and ask him, to show us his truth,, and it will come to you from him,
so,, THERE IT IS,,

The word of God is the only truth, God is not a religion, To know the truth you must be born again, and if you are truly a child of God the Holy Ghost or comforter will guide you in all paths of rightness. If you are saved then pray and seek guidance and God will answer. If you are not saved, then the gospel is the only thing which will help you, and that is the death, burial and Resurrection of Jesus.

There are many spiritual traditions that point to the truth....but ultimately the truth is within you and only you can find it...No body can give it to you....when Jesus said "Know the truth and the truth will set you free" he really meant this....he was not saying believe in something...no what he meant was you have to know it and experience it yourself...by the way Jesus was a spiritually enlightened man but just a man... a great man but not the son of God. We are all son's and daughters of God...don't forget this!!

We have to enjoy the religion existed in the world ,coz everything created by human is to be happy and be unite,,not to take a war against a religion , that's worst thing,,but the real truth is ther is nothing like religion everything created by humans ,for thier own selfish thing ,like one who likes to eat goat created hinduism ,like for worshipping god they have to sacrifice goat or chicken,one who likes peace created christianity ,and so on so we people should'nt believe any religion ,think what is truth and what is honest thing,,but remeber religion created in order to make humans a good person,,because in this world till now more religion is thier but still ,many cruel things happening in the world like 1.rapping,2.theft.3.murder.4.having illegal sex and many worst things happening ,just think if ther is no religion than everything which i mentiones above will be alegal thing now its an illegal but after that.hence we can say or we can satisfy that religion can be created for those reaons ,but rite now what can isuggest u is just do good things have good thinking do good have sex only with u r wife contorl ur self in all aspect not only sex we have to control our anger & also likings that'st so every human think and does in same way sure ther will be a peace in the world ,

Who's to say any of the existing religions are true? =)
Perhaps the true path to God is a path nobody has thought of/discovered yet. Maybe we're supposed to worship Harvey, The Inflatable Pink Moose Deity. Maybe we're supposed to be praising fire hydrants that are painted yellow. (Not the red ones! Those are the evil ones.)

Appreciate the differences, and let your spritual senses show you the common good within them all, that is separate from Human influences of Human corrupttion. You will see truth. Look for the Unity of the God and unity of Humans for the progression of Humans.
