Christianity, Islam, etc.

The simple answer is that they are all right, and all wrong.
In 1966, I died and went to heaven. There I got an epiphany.
Consider the old story of the 7 blind men and the elephant. Each had part of the truth, but not the whole picture. So too are doctrines.
The simple truth is there is a God. God Loves you. As you would never turn your back on your 2 year old child no matter how bad a tantrum that child might make, so too is God above you and would never turn his/her back on you. You are his child. God loves you.
When you die, decide to go to heaven, and you will. If you decide you deserve fire and brimstone, you get that as well. Better to decide on heaven.
The problem with preachers is they are as fearful as you, but they come to believe if everyone supports whatever doctrine they believe they must be right. Not necessary. God love you. When you die, go to heaven.

The traidtions of Judaism, Islam and Christianity I believe are the furthest from truth in that they appear to be a "coloring book to the eternal". The images, descriptions and personification of things such as Good, Evil, Spiritual Life, Material life are merely representations in very simplified terms of the much more abstract unconditional reality. This of course serves its purpose in the big picture, to help people grasp the conceptually complicated arrangment of That Which Is. We find in the Eastern traditions a more abstract approach to the explaination and understanding of the universe. I believe the Eastern traditions come closest to describing the ultimate reality. In my opinion it would take a careful blend of Hinduisms concept of Brahma and atta (the divine One that is all and the divinity within us), Buddhism's emphasis on love, compassion and awareness, and the Tao's account of the dynamic, unjudging "Way" to create a much more accurate, comprehensive description of the Ultimate Reality. If you're looking for something closest to the truth, go Eastern.

NONE!! But I do believe they all have one thing in common They all believe in God. Read books on all religions and learn one thing they are all the same just different perspectives but they all believe in god.
Most accurate?, did god write them,make them, no (Man made them, wrote them, changed them) So could they be accurate? not a chance!
If all the religions of the world got together and just agreed on this one principle that there is a God and we are all here because of him, then this question would not have to be answered by anyone.

There is no most accurate religion. Many share the truth.
There is a most inaccurate religion, more through practice than doctrine. It is a mockery of the truth.
I will make no further statements, lest there be much recriminations and offense, and more of the senseless violence we see in certain parts of the world every time that one people or another refuses to adhere to the morality of others in their own homeland.

Islam ...
The Biblical prophecies on the advent of the Prophet Muhammad are evidence of the truth of Islam for people who believe in the Bible.
In fact, there are many evidence. But if you really want to know the truth ,you should read and search ... and don't judge just by what you see or hear!!

All of them (the major ones) are the most accurate. The essence within all of their scriptures maps out the path to the EXACT SAME PLACE....God, The Universe, The Life Force (whatever you feel comfortable with). They all include the immense power of Surrender...all of them. So with the same Powerful thread running through all of them, how can one be the most accurate? Perhaps that is another question topic?

Christianity!!! But this is my opinion!
People need to believe in a higher being, a Creator! To think that the entire universe created itself is rediculous! (IMHO)
And while Jesus did not come here to start a NEW religion, He did come here to show us "The Way"! No One else before or since has offered such a message.
Live life as He has suggested and we can all be forgiven for our sins!
IMHO,

there are none that are most accurate, because if you choose one, than you are dictating what you believe to be the most accurate and not God. since He is the author of religion it should be up to Him to decide which is the most accurate and to find the right one you would need to search in the most ancient religious book known to mankind. you can find this book, which is a compilation of 66 books that reflect his thinking and characteristics, the Bible in various languages and places. "...seek and you will find"

Considering the original translation of biblical writings is in Hebrew, my guess would be the Jewish faith.
The bible has been retranslated and rewritten so many times by so many people, who knows how much is original?
Remember the game in grade school? Whisper a short story to the person next to you in the circle; after it makes it around the room-how recognizable was the story?

all religions contain the same seed ideas
albeit in different languages and with different emphasis
and thus they can all be verified by comparing them to scientific knowledge
perhaps the most accurate and advanced understandings that relate most closely to modern physics and quantum physics are found in tibetan dzogchen- which both predates buddhism in tibet
and is considered one of the highest schools of thought in tibetan buddhism
i guess it all depends on what you mean by accurate
