No religious strikes here, not sure what the hell you are talking about. Go worship your keg asshol e

Answer 1

Good question. One thing is for sure-no matter who or where you are. They can not all be right since they are in opposition to each other.
How do you think this can be solved?
Judaism and Christianity are the two closest to each other. All the rest, including Islam, are far different.
Even the Christians accept Judaism as semi-valid. But the Jews despise Christianity.
This can be reasoned out. Unfortunately for billions of people there is not enough time for all to have a chance to compare.
How do you think it can be solved? Just think about it.

Answer 2

No religious strikes? Maybe not, but it seems that you'll strike anyone that answers, but I'll bite.

Each religion has a different salvation plan that includes only their group. That is why religions will never agree, because they each believe that their way is the only way. As a Christian, I believe that Jesus is the only way (because he said so), and I believe that others are going to hell that don't believe in Him. That doesn't give me a licence however to be mean, cruel, or pushy towards them. Chances are they know what I know, and they choose not to accept it. It's a heart problem, not a lack of knowledge.

Answer 3

"Religions" teach you how to find God. All these religions are trying to find God, by their works, customs, traditions.

"Bible based Christianity" teach you how God finds you, and how you are set free from the bonds of religion.

God didn't intend for us to form religions and go against eachother. He said "I pray there be no division among you". He came to free man from the bondage of religion.

I am a Bible believing Christian. I don't hate anyone, regardless of their faith. In fact, whenever I encounter someone of a different faith, I am curious and I ask questions, showing respect to the other. A month ago I sat on an airplane next to two Hindus, husband and wife, for 9 hours. We had a wonderful time, sharing about our faith.

It's too bad that there is such animosity. But, we are human, after all, with human faults.

Answer 4

I believe that there will be people saved out of all the faiths on earth. But there is one Truth to be followed. God will judge us according to how we live up to the light that we have. If we have more Truth, more will be expected of us. The only group that truly has the most Truth now, is the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Just as in the time of Jesus, the only group at that time were the Jews. Did this mean that the rest were lost? Not at all, the Jews were supposed to be the light to them all, but they chose to keep it to themselves. Find the Truth, every group has some, but only one has all.

Answer 5

Well, actually , we Jehovah's Witnesses DON'T think that Christians, Muslims and Jews are all going to hell, because we Jehovah's Witnesses don't BELIEVE in the sort of hell you seem to be speaking of.. so get your facts straight before you sling accusations around! But I don't believe that others are wrong period... just wrong for ME. And I am willing to share with others WHY I believe what I believe.

.As for who is right? If you honestly thought your religion was wrong, wouldn't you change? Everyone SHOULD think their religion is the right one! They should just be peacable about those beliefs!

Answer 6

because each separate Religious Belief System has the idea that theirs is the only correct one and since they know what is best for everyone, all should believe the way they do or those who do not are going to hell.

GOD is to big to be in only one place and there are many ways one can get to their destination such as walking, riding a bike, a motorcycle, taking a bus, a plane, a train, etc.

all will get one to their destination which is the important thing, not how one gets there.

Answer 7

Salam!

If you want to know about Islam, look at the examples of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Even though he came to teach everyone about One God and monotheistic beliefs, he did not hate anyone or blasphemised anyone's religion. He was the most wonderful and tolerant Slave of God (Allah).

If there are some Muslims whose actions go against the teaching of Islam, it should not be a cause of hatred toward Islam. Islam is the most tolerant and loving religion.

Muslims used to even live with non-Muslims peacefully and gave them all their rights to live and earn amongst them.

Nowhere in the Qur'an does it say go and kill all non-muslim men, women, children, elder etc.

Even in the battlefield Muslims are not allowed to attack non-participants of the wards.

If you want to learn about Islam, learn it through the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), because he was the most perfect man/example and there are none more perfect than him.

Answer 8

Everyone thinks they are right because religion is, by nature, completely irrational. You accept and have faith in something because you are told to do so- you are never offered any kind of proof or asked to logically conclude anything in religion. This develops a mindset, where of course religion A is right and those followers of religion B are wrong and going to hell.

Answer 9

Well, actually I do not think that all other religions are "wrong"; they are just not right for me. And I know that my spiritual path is not right for everyone.

Yes, I take issue with some of the social impact that certain religions have. But I'm not about to say that the religion itself is "wrong" although I do question some of the followers' behavior.

*****
I think "god" shows up for people in the way that they need. And so it's appropriate that we honor "god" where "god" shows up for us.

For some people, "god" shows up in the visual realm; a dazzling vision of the sacred fire that lights all things in nature from within. For these people, acknowledging "god" within everything is not only appropriate, but unavoidable, and the simple act of this kind of seeing sanctifies the observer. Everything in nature is holy, and acknowledging that inner fire uplifts the worshiper. To such a person, the Western notion that one is superior to many - one "god", one book, one son, one church, etc., flies in the face of their direct experience of sanctity, of holiness.

For some people, "god" manifests as a oneness, a single rightness, and the primary characteristics of that oneness are the ability to create, and justice (as defined by that oneness). Such people tend to be overwhelmed by the complexity and apparent contradictions of physical life and cling tightly to the law. This law applies an orderliness to the processes of nature, a "cosmic plan" that, while beyond the capacity of humans to understand, nonetheless is consistent and universal, explaining in it's very inexplicability that all is good, and that all will be well, so long as the faithful hold fast to the law. "God has a plan".

Monotheistic religions justify man's own creativity through a godlike sharing of the powers of the original oneness...man is granted the right to change creation to suit himself. Polytheistic and/or pantheistic religions urge man to alter *himself* to work with the divine forces already present in his environment, to order his life not by a law given by an authority, but by laws inherent in the physical universe, these laws being an embodiment of the sacred.


These are, of course, oversimplifications, but I think it's useful to understand that they describe a *relationship* between humans and what we consider sacred.

Being a Pagan, how, then, could I say that other religions are "wrong"?

There isn't just one kind of flower, or tree, or one way a river flows to the ocean. If there were only one song of praise worthy of being sung, our hearts would all sing in the same key.

The exuberant variety of the Divine made manifest (life) tells me that there is no one right way to be human, no one right way to worship, no one right understanding of the nature of "god".

Answer 10

I agree with themom but would like to add that another reason we don't believe that Christians are going to hell (what youbelieve hell is) is because we are Christians.

But think about this: If one religion believes one way, and another religion believes the opposite, ar least one of them must be wrong!
