The important thing is not whether religions or Gods are right. It is that people have the freedom to believe and worship what and how they wish.
Sadly most religions then spoil this freedom by trying to preach and dictate to those who do not share their beliefs. The day cannot be far away when this practice may be made unlawful.
In the UK there is a law of harassment which could conceivably be used against persistent religious pushers.

I think all religions have truths here and there, some more then others. But when it comes to plan of salvation I do truely believe that the Latter Day Saints have been given much more then anyone else. There is a ton of anti-mormon stuff out there so if you want to do research I am afraid you will never feel the truth. I suggest that if you want to know if the LDS faith is true, read the Book of Mormon, pray to God with a sincere heart, (it asks you to do this at the end) if it is true and he will let you know through the Holy Ghost, a very strong spirtual experience. Then write everything down that you felt and remember never to forget of this feeling cause its so easy to be decieved by all the anti stuff out there. Best wishes and I hope you find what you are looking for.

Okay, hush.hush, here's the scoop. If you can get your head around this idea, you'll be on your way to a better understanding of it all. So, here it is...
They are all Real. They are all Right.
But how can that be, GJ? Everyone is jumping up and down, screaming that their religion, their god(s), is the right one and the one and only true path. If you follow something else, you are doomed to everlasting hellfire or some other such torture. How can they all be right?
Simple. We, all of us, are the creators of our own reality. In this respect, the Hindus came the closest to defining our existence. The Vedics stated that this is an "illusion." Once you are able to accept that fact and begin to "impact" it in your own life, you see just how true and real it is. Consequently...
The Christians are 100% right when they say that the only way to salvation, the only way to get a ticket to heaven, is if you accept Jesus as your lord and savior. But remember. That's "Christian" heaven and once dead, given the construct that every true Christian accepts, that's exactly where they will end up. Or, if they are riddled with guilt and shame, they will end up in the "other" Christian creation known as hell. Either way, it is the individuals personal thoughts and actions about themselves and what they created while in this physical reality that will determine where they will go post mortem.
The same thing can be said for Hindus. They believe in Karma with reincarnation being the result of their Karma and their actions. The result is, they will either be reincarnated in a better position and life, or they will go down a couple of notches. Again. This all depends on what they created in the now and how they personally "feel" about what they created.
The agnostics expect answers post mortem. They will get them.
Atheists expect nothing and nothing is what they will receive.
And so on, and so on. So...
Look to what rings true to you personally. What gives you that "ah-ha!" moment. Learn as much as you can about it and more importantly, do not be afraid to directly impact on your personal reality. Once you see how it works, once you personally experience the ripple effect of your actions, you will start to get a sense of what a wonder-full illusion this really is!
Good Luck!

no they are all right, including mine. GOD is to big to be in only one place. as far as I am concerned the only basic differences in any Religion and another are the NAMES which they refer to GOD as along with the differences in Rituals and Ceremonies which are performed to worship, honor, adore, pray and petition, thank, etc. other than these minor differences all are on the same path to reach a final destination. getting there is the important thing not by how.

I do not profess that my beliefs are superior to anyone else's. All I can do is state my beliefs and live by them. No one will know if any of us got it right until we get to Heaven and God tells us.

Yeah. Pretty much.
They're all theories. Only one is correct, or none are.
So it is with physics. Either Bohr was right or the other guy (forgot his name) was right. An atom is an atom.
So it is with theology. Either The muslim, christian, or hindu are right, or they're all wrong. But they're not all right. God is God.

There is but ONE true God. And, either you believe the Bible or you dont. and God doesnt force anyone to believe His word or beieve in Him. But, many things have been predicted in the Bible that have become true, many aritifacts found that are proof of the things God told us.
If you read, all God wants for us is GOOD. This is why He tells us to walk away from the things that lead to pain and desturction to us or others. If a religion says its ok to beat your children, why would a good GOD say that? If a religion says its ok to cheat on your spouce, What GOOD comes from that? If you are the ones cheated on, its painful, and you can get diseases, and it affects your children too. So, when you look to God, KNOW His word, not just glance at it, but study it, you see why He does all He does, and its for our own GOOD. He asks us to follow Jesus and to be like Him. WHY/ Sure it leads to salvaton. But, its also so we can bless others and lead others to Him.
Our Christian church has a messiah, and is the only way to say I AM< FOLLOW ME> I AM. He wants our hearts, to bless us, protect us, and bring us love peace and joy that passes all understanding.
When you see what other so called messiahs ask of you, does it lead to your own good, or does it allow you to live selfish and in sin, as long as you worship only them?
Gods tells us to ask What Would Jesus DO? before we make decisions. Good guide to follow, when you truly study the Bible, pray and KNOW God's word.
If a so called prophet, or messiah, is preaching its ok to do things that can eventally hurt others, is that the ONE you want to follow. So, yes , you may call us arrogant, cuz we say OURS IS THE ONLY WAY> But, remember , we didnt say it first. God tells us the ONLY way is thru Jesus Christ. and you can believe that or reject it. God gives free choice. And, then He tells us how we will reap these giant rewards and blessings by choosing Him. He tells us obedience leads to blessings. But, tellsl us of the horrible consequences of not chooising Him. Remember God never rejects us. It is we that deceide to accept or reject Him. so, wherever we end up, Heaven or Hell, it is our own SELVES that made that choice, and we cant blame anyone but our own selves. Jesus is coming soon. I pray you will study and find for yourself about this GOD that loves you enough to send His son to die for you, and give you the opportunity of life everlasting with Him, in Heaven. and there He tells us will be no more tears, no sickness. Only love joy and peace, forever and ever. Dont take a chance at missing out on your free gift. Its free, but you have to accept that free gift for it to be YOURS.
Seek and ye shall find. The devil is the one that creates all false religion, and so many prefer them, cuz they allow them do do pretty much as they please. Have their been any proofs that show these false profits to be REAL. When you see people you loved as they are dying, and watch as prayer heals, then you tell me which God you will believe in and serve. He loves us all and is quick to forgiven, even unbelieve. We just got to go to Him and ask. Do so today, before Jesus comes, then its too late.
