So then why does it make it true simply because you believe in it? It seems that would make you more special than everyone else?

all 3 religions are related....humans just don't take the time to sit back and realize it.
The Bible clearly states in Exodus 4:5 that God is the God of all past fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Issac, the God of Jacob.
Meaning he is the god of all religions. The Koran speaks the same as well as the Jewish Bible.
Humans cause the seperation, the misery, the pain....not the books as all 3 books speak the same if you just listen.

It doesn't. As a free individual I choose to believe in the one that's true. It's that way round.
I also believe that the way I bring up my kid is the right way and the way I vote is the right way and that the place I live in is a nice one. If I didn't believe these things I'd change my behaviour and do something else that I then believed to be true and right.
If you don't believe your faith or atheism is true then you'd change philosophy, so the one you happened to believe in at any given point would always have to be the true one as far as you are concerned.
Anything else would be illogical and anti-evolutionary don't you think?
We couldn't commit to something we believed to be false anymore than we can breathe under water.

A religon is an object predicted with an uncertain number of sides. Research has been done on it and little has been found.
Looking at the root words, here is what is drawn...
Reli- Unknown
Gon- sides
For all we know, Reli could be a number or a description of the sides. What is known though is that religon is the polygon god. Ruling over many different squares and triangles with the point of truth.
Some atheists theorize that a religon is a regular shape made of wrong angles. These atheist, however, failed geometry class.

Today's mind is based on reason. if you will give the reason for the creation of God, it can be addressed to the modern mind. but if you will show some thing by miracles, they will ask for the reasons, they will not believe on miracles now as was happening in historic time. you need a scientific argument..
I believe in Islam and obviously i will say Islam is true religion, no need to prove. Every one has a developed knowledge and can understand..
Quran is the only guide Book which is preserved.
Hypnotise is not accepted by Islam...

It comes from what satisfies your soul. If a belief does that over many years and not just a temporary fix, then it must be true. Most beliefs ask you to do some pretty outrageous things, like believe in aliens possessing your body (Thanks, Tom!). Others ask you to do these repetitious actions that are supposed to cleanse your aura or spirit or something. My belief is simple. God is. He made me, he knows my strengths and weaknesses and loves me anyway. He gave up His son so that I could have a chance at heaven. Sounds pretty good to me. I don't have to believe in aliens, or spend hours chanting. I can live, love and be happy while I do what He calls me to do. Its not really hard at all.

Well, why would you follow a false religion???? Of course everyone thinks their way is right. They can't all be true because there are so many differences and oppositions. Only one can be right.
It's kinda like the statement - It was in the last place I looked - Why would you keep looking after you found it??

That's why you believe in it because it is true to you, you can relate to it and it makes sense to you.
It doesn't matter what other people believe or think, it is what you think is right it makes you feel better in times of need, you feel supported, and loved and that doesn't make you better than anyone else but it makes you a unique individual yourself.
Everyone has their right to believe what is true. There is no rule book no one should be forcing their beliefs on anyone, its a choice.

Good one.
I was an atheist at one point of life, but had to admit that the resurrection of Jesus was pretty convincing and added a lot of credibility to his claims.
Also, I worked with gangs & have seen people accept Jesus and become INSTANTLY transformed. I have also seen this instant change in my life and in the lives of friends (one of which had a sudden change regarding his turrets syndrome).

Being an athiest, I don't beleive any of them to be True. But whatever gets you by... To each is his/her own....Live and let Live (Or Live and let Die).
Also Each religion pretty much tells you that the other religions are false, So I think that's the best answer....

How about if you study several, and only one can answer all of your questions? That doesn't make it the only TRUE religion, but it makes it TRUE for you.
