There are a lot of religions out here, how are we to say our religion is better .?

Question

Jews and Christians over Muslims and Buddists for example

Answer 1

Name anyone else who died for your sins? All other religions are humanist in nature and therefore man created them meaning if they die..then they are dead..period. They can't help you. Besides eternal life with Jesus Christ is free and all you have to do is believe in Him.

Answer 2

Every religion is dangerous to society, especially a democratic society (except for perhaps Buddhism and Wicca).
61 percent of the people in this country say religion solves some or all -- most or all of our problems. OK, religion solves nothing - it's like a hot bath does not solve a cold apartment. It may solve for awhile, but it doesn't solve it. It actually makes more problems because faith is a way to make a virtue of things that make absolutely no sense into a political social issue.

For example, gay marriage - to a rational person, anyone with eyes can see God, and I believe in God, or a higher being, I just don't believe in the people who pretend they're talking for him. They can see that God or nature created, nature, even in the animal world, a gay minority. It's just a fact. For some reason, God wanted a gay minority among us. Maybe it's because we're too aggressive and gays are less aggressive. That's what the rational mind says. The rational mind takes it as the given. There are gay people in the world.

The irrational mind says that there are gays because it's a choice. They believe it is a choice. They believe, as the Bible says, it is an abomination. And it's not a choice. It's obviously not a choice. So they're working From this ridiculous premise. They think that if gay people get married, it will lead to more homosexuality.

George W. Bush's foreign policy is based on his faith, and this is why religion is so dangerous in our society. Because George Bush is not just a Christian. He's a born-again, they believe Jesus is coming back any day now. And they want everything to be perfect for him. They call it, The Rapture. Thomas Jefferson said the book of revelations was the ravings of a lunatic. George Bush organizes his foreign policy around it. His decisions about Israel are affected by his religious beliefs.

President Bush and the Christian right believe that Jesus is coming back, and he's not coming back to Toledo, he's coming back to his home, which is Jerusalem, which has to be in Jewish hands because the Jews have a very important role to play when Jesus comes back, which is, of course, to be dead. Because there can't be any Jews around.

This is truly frightening, because it's completely irrational. It's like half this country wants to guide our ship of state by a compass. A compass, something that works by science and rationality, and imperial wisdom. And half this country wants to kill a chicken and read the entrails like they used to do in the old Roman Empire. And I'm with the compass people.

I have always been taught you have to respect people's beliefs. I know that's what we always hear, we have to respect. I'm sorry, I don't. I don't respect religion. I don't respect superstitious thinking, which is what religion is. I don't respect childish thinking, which is what religion is.

Religious people use The Holy Bible as basis of historical fact and as a weapon of hate. The Bible, that book that has people who lived to be 900 years old and says the world is 6,000 years old, and that there are people who lived in a whale. That infallible work of genius is full of retarded gibberish like slavery is OK. And you should stone a guy to death if he works on Sunday. That's the book that says, sorry no queers. So everything that doesn't fit into some stupid idea of what they think God wants; they try to hide, fix or get rid of. That is to much for ANYONE to live up to. Why would God make us all so different, if God wanted us to be the same.

So I'm sorry, I don't respect people who believe in religion. I was religious when I was a kid. We all had stupid ideas drilled into our head. It doesn't mean when you get to be an adult you can't drill it out. Most children grow up learning the story of Santa Clause - a fat guy in a red suit who cruised around on a magical flying sleigh pulled by flying reindeer with no wings. Do any rational-thinking people believe in Santa Clause?

Answer 3

The one proved true.
Though, the book, in the Jews and Christains case the Bible and the Muslims and Buddhists case the Korah (?torah?), the believers follow would show. For instance, say per chance that the Bible makes 100+ prophecies and they all come true to the letter (which did happen by the way; check the Internet and the Bible itself), and the Korah (?torah?) makes 200+ prophecies but only 1 becomes true.

Which would you follow?

Answer 4

I would say that no religion is better than the other. It is really personal preference. I am a buddhist and I believe what I have learned from studying Buddhism. It is against my religion to criticize or say anything bad about other religions. I would say, go ahead and study different religions out there that YOU are interested in and have an open mind. Think logically which makes more sense to you and take it from there.

Answer 5

Religions are institutions of man. Something to give physical structure to his spiritual essence. At their foundation religions are basically the same; meant to awaken the soul to its purpose. The problem is all the absolute dogma that man through his ego has built from the foundation.

Answer 6

I think that Christianity is the only religion that has fulfilled prophecy, so for this to come to pass with 100% accuracy the Bible had to be inspired by God even tho it was written by men. It is interesting to do a web search on Bible prophecy paying special attention to when it was prophesied and when it was fulfilled.

Answer 7

I was raise southern Babtist with a little Pentecostal thrown in for good measure I no longer attend church but I think religion is more about faith i put my faith in God if you put yours in Budda (just an example) that doesn't make me anymore right than you nor does it make you anymore right I don't think we are supposed to judge other religions I know most religions do but I'm not going to stand here and say that it is wrong to put your faith in whatever you put your faith in because I may be wrong I think if you have Faith period you are doing something right there are so many out there who have faith in nothing

Answer 8

Try Krishna Consciousness. When one understand Krishna they understand all religions and do not hate anyone. It is Universal and has more information about God than any other religion I have studied. Not being prejudice just has more about God. Go to krishnaculture. for details read Bhagavad Gita as it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupad and understand all religions and Spirituality.

Answer 9

This is a very good question, something that I never heard any religious person able to answer decently. The fact is that many religions contradict each other, and most religious people think theirs is right and not the others. So who is right ?

Answer: None. Religion is all man-made drivel.

Answer 10

I will help you out, they are all philosphies. They are a crutch to give meaning to a persons life. 3000 years ago people believed in the Greek gods. People cant accept the fact that we are just here as eveloution evolves. People are born and they die, just like animales and plants. That is the truth. More people die over religon, it is a crock.
