To state that one religion or all other religions are wrong is an incredibly shortsighted thought. It is the same thing as saying that the members of your religion are the only people who were born in the right place on earth.
There is no right place on earth. Religion is the product of your environment, modified by history. Nobody can deny that.
It wouldn't be reasonable to say that Irish music is the most beautiful music or the only right music.
It is probably true if you are Irish.
You are Christian simply because the Roman Emperor Constantine had a dream and won a battle thinking he was helped by God. The Roman Empire became officially Christian and that's the only reason you are Christian today.
I can assure you that you would not be Christian if Emperor Constantine had different plans.

My religion says that other religions are also right, they just interperate the truth in a different way. There are probably a thousand languages and each one has a word for "grapefruit" for example. We would accept that the different words all have the same meaning and not say one was "right" or "wrong." Religions are languages for something that you can not put into words. The fact that they have different belief structures just indicates different cultural associations which create different ways of expressing the spiritual reality.

Remember that religion for the most part is a matter of geography and nothing else. If you were born in Turkey perhaps you would be Islamic, but if you were born in Alabama/u.s. then perhaps you would be Baptist. This is one glaring reason that makes all relgions complete and utter bologne'. There is a reason that the first people on the planet worshipped the sun....it gives life, warmth and food and even protection and a good tan if you plan it right. good luck, be well and remember: the more you know, the less you need.

I have a problem with that kind of thinking.
My religion is the right one for me, but that doesn't make it the right one for everyone, and it certainly doesn't make other religions "wrong".
I have trouble with the whole "there's only one right way" thing.
That's why I'm a Pagan, or perhaps it's *because* I"m a Pagan that I don't believe there's only one right way.

Why does everyone keep going on and on about religion. If what you are asking is if it is true that Christ is the only way to heaven then I would tell you that is what I believe. As for how are others learning that any other way is wrong........that is not for me to show them.......that is the work of the Holy Spirit.

My religion is not really a religion to speak of. I do not profess to be any denomination...I simply follow God and the teachings of Christ. I do not believe in saying anyone has all of the answers as none of us is perfect. I would expect perfection from one who has all of the answers. Guess that knocks everyone out of the running doesn't it? We will all have to wait until we are given the answers at which time, religious dogma will be non-existant.

Actually my belief says that no way is wrong, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. So rpetty much any fundie would be wrong, wheras any liberal follower of any religion would be right. So they know they're wrong when they hurt people, which is they think about it they would realzie. So essentially any fundie that's so rabid they can't think for themselves, then they're wrong but they'll realize that only when brain transplants become plausible.

All the religion of the world are in agreement on one point. That is, that theirs is the one true faith. The truth is, that one needs to pick one that fits their core beliefs and one that the are comfortable and happy with.

Well, you can pray they find the truth. They can't know their beliefs are in error unless you plant a seed in their hearts with the help of the Holy Spirit.

All religions have some degree of truth . . . it is up to you to find the one with the most truth for you.
