What’s wrong with people and their religion?

Question

All big religions give same massage in different ways if one studies; most of the things which are sin in one are sin in all major religions. The difference is some religions’ people are more religious and others are almost nonreligious. Why do people think that if they change their religion something which is a sin in their religion would not be sin in other unless they make changes to religion or become nonreligious? Also, why do people ask that why people in your religion are not allowed to something, where as their own religion also stops them to do that? Why do they think that making changes or ignoring their religion makes them modern or something? (Please note I am talking about only the major religions)

Answer 1

it's called hypocrisy my good friend

Answer 2

You are on the right track. HOwever, there are some fundamental differences you are not taking into account.

All religions (major or minor) with the exception of one, tell you what are and are not sins and that to gain heaven, nirvana, etc. you must refrain from those and instead engage in "good" behavior.

Christianity also lists sins but says something fundamentally different. It says that man is not sinful because he sins. Rather he sins because he is sinful. It is not the actions that cause the man to be that way. The man is that way and the actions come from that nature. Only christianity says that man does not have it within himself to deal with such things. Only God can. Only christianity has a God who has dealt with the sin where man could not. God bridged the gap between man and him.

All other religions give man a list of do's and don'ts for man to reach God. Christianity says that God reached man rather than require man to do something that he cannot do.

It is this fundamental difference, this uniqueness, that makes christianity seem the most vialbly true.

Answer 3

Without sounding naive I would say that as long as there are people in this world, there will always be this problem (if you consider it as one, that is.)

Sometimes we just have to do what is universally right without violating the rights of others. Trouble is sometimes we have yet to establish what is right universally. Mine might not be the same as yours.

So it might be the case where as long as you are not violating your neighbours' right, you're cool. So long as you know that when you die you have done enough to make a difference to the world you live in without causing much harm to others. Then we can all live in peace.

But sometimes you just have to acknowledge this is after all, the basic nature of mankind. Until we sincerely make an effort to unconditionally love one another and forgo Power, Greed and Lust I would have to say the status quo sticks.
