I can think of lots of nice things to say about other religions. It would be long and drawn out. I figure most would lose interest. Most all religions teach us love which is most important because if we truly love from our hearts then we wouldn't want to do anyone harm. I especially appreciate those who stand up for moral values and family values and the ones that have compassion for all God's little creatures. Animals are important also. Just because I choose to be Baptist doesn't mean we're the only ones going to heaven and it doesn't mean we are always right. Same with all religions. I guess that's why there are so many different denominations.

Every religion has some degree of eternal truth--religions do not last if they don't. I admire many religions for the people's hearts who change in spite of different dogmas.
I admire many Christian religions and leaders . . . the Catholics have beautiful ceremonies and held together the basic truths of the Gospel. Men such as Martin Luther, John Wycliffe & William Tyndale helped pave the way for the Protestant movement.
I admire how quickly the Amish community came together to forgive someone who did a great evil to them and comforted those he left behind. That was a beautiful example of true religion in action. True to their beliefs, they did not want the world to invade their space further. I know some tried to donate monies which they said they did not need because they take care of their own.

Hinduism is fun with its many gods and many ways of coping with the world.
Christianity is nice in how they deal with love and forgiveness.
Buddhism - the compassion, and simplicity.
But basically it has been my experience that people will be people regardless of what religion they subscribe to. Enlightened spirits can be found everywhere - although, forgive me for saying so, I have met them more often outside of the organised religions than inside them.
And the thing Rev Kev said about pagans being passionate about life. Thank you, that was really a great observation!

I think Mormons tend to be very nice people. The Jehovah's witnesses seem to be very devout. The Buddhists I have met seem to want peace. The Hindus I have met make great food! The Muslims I have met are really trying to know God.
I am a Christian. Contrary to what I read here, most of the people I have met who are true Christians tend to really care about others.
There are not very nice people everywhere. When a person professes Christianity, they are held to a certain ideal, and being human, we often fall short of that ideal - the ideal being Jesus Himself. So, we are often judged harshly. For myself, when I fail, which is often, I ask for not only Jesus' forgiveness, but yours as well.

I am an Asatruar, and I simply adore Catholics. If you know a Catholic, you will never go hungry! The Catholic churches in Sacramento served the community in many ways, and all were welcome, Catholic or not. I even made friends with a couple of Catholic Nuns while doing volunteer work for the homeless with them. Even though they knew I was an Asatruar, they never treated me with anything other than love and respect.
My best friend in Michigan was a Pentecostal woman. When I fell ill and she learned of it, she was there almost immediately. She cared for me for three weeks with the same love and tenderness she would have shown to a child of her own. She is a wonderful example of what christian love is supposed to be!
When my Father died many years ago, it was unexpected and painful for the family. While we still waited to see if he would live or die, a Muslim couple I was friends with left work and drove 5 hours to be with us. They were a great source of comfort to us over the following days, and personified the essence of Islam in their loving natures.
When a close friend, who also happened to be pagan, went beyond the veil suddenly a couple years ago, the outpouring of love and support from the pagan community was astounding. She left behind a military husband on active duty and five children. It was only because of the pagan community and their actions that the children were able to remain in their home, together, while their father was on his way home. And it was only because of the pagan community that family made it through the first, most difficult year - still together and in their own home. Their love and concern for this widower and children was evident in every act.
What I like best about anyone else's religion, is when people actually follow the admonition that all religions seem to have - to love and respect others. Then their religion becomes a beautiful thing, through them and their actions. What greater way to give thanks to your god/goddess than to be such a reflection of him or her?
I also like the fact that all the women I just told you about were the most absolutely wonderful cooks and were more than happy to feed me!

Most people don't know things, intimately, about another person's religion! You can read a book about it, that doesn't tell you much about anything and if anything you see all the things you don't like. Like a month of fasting, doesn't sound pleasant!
Drinking wine ritually probably doesn't sound pleant to you, does it!
We can say nice things about people we know and sometime that reflects on their religion. If you know a nice Hindu, maybe they are nice because they're a good Hindu.

I got the opportunity to travel to New Orleans a few times in the past year to help build and repair houses. Every time I went, it was with a Christian group. I was blown away--these people laid aside their lives for a week or two just to go help others. There was no preaching--instead, they simply let their actions speak for them. Few people have touched my life so deeply as these...living what they believed.

The Jews have the best food. if Polish Jews hadn't opened those New York delicatessans at the turn of the century, my life would be much poorer.
And I love the Hindu festival of colours. It is better than paintball!

I admire muslin's devotion to God. Some of the Mormon people are the best people I have ever met even though I don't consider them Christian. I know the Jewish people are supposed to be good with money and sometimes I wish I could have been born as God's chosen people. But even people who are in a lifestyle I don't agree with (gay) I can find some wonderful virtues in them too. So when it comes down to it aren't we supposed to love everyone?

All religions and faith point towards the Truth, as all rivers are rushing towards ocean.
So which religion I appreciate and which to reject ?
Guru Nanak said "Avval Allah noor upaya Kudrat de sab bande...Ek noor se sab jag upja kaun bhale kaun mande"
One God spread his light and created the universe, hence all are his children...since all are born out of that Divine light whom I should say good and who bad ?
