Everyone has different beliefs and views on who God is. Muslims, Christians, Jews, Wiccans, Pagans, Hindu, Buddist... the list goes on and they all believe they have the truth. So who is right? Does anyone think there is a slight possibility there is no wrong way to worship the higher power that created us? Some people are able to seek god easier through different religions. Shouldnt that be the main goal? If we all believed that there would be no wars, fighting, persecution or intolerence between anyone (as far as god is concerned). Doesn't this sound like what god would want for us? My goal is not to get you to turn from your religious beliefs (whatever they may be) but to help you to become a little more tolerent and respectful to others. Do any of you believe this is a possibility?

I agree, as i Pagan, i feel that it would be redicilous for me or anyone of my faith to say that only our 600 or so gods exist. everyone has their own god. and as long as they do not try to use that god to control me or my people i am all well and fine with that.

That's why I'm agnostic. I am not afraid to say that I don't know if there is a higher power, but I would rather be unsure than follow any dogma I don't fully believe in. There are many themes in religions that are similar - show tolerance, killing is a no-no, don't steal, honor others, that I am perfectly willing to abide by because I believe they are the right thing to do. If god does exist I would not rule out the possibility that the initial message was the same but interpreted differently by different cultures.

Tolerance? From humans??? Dream on! No. I don't see it. Even the Atheists here can't leave people to their own beliefs, and they don't HAVE any! When Christians are sure that there is only one way to salvation, and Muslims think they are authorized by God to kill unbelievers before they have the chance to change their minds, the hate adds up quickly.
You might as well ask a Liberal to tolerate Christianity.

It is all false, and in that sense, all true. It's a Mystery (note the capital M) but no one is anymore wrong than anyone else. Though some of ya'll are more annoying.

If I hear 20 different stories that explain the same event, I am inclined to believe that none of them tells the whole truth. Same with religions. They all have different ideas about God and different ideas for explaining life, so I think that all of them are false.

No this is not the main goal we strive for. These wars are going on because they were written about millions of years ago. There is no way to stop them. We can not pray for them to go away, they will all come to pass. This "unity" of religions is what the anti-christ will encourage now because he wants us to be completely unified in "his" system.

It's impossible. If Christianity is right, and it is, no one can refute the resurrection, then everything else is wrong. Jesus said that no one will go to the Father except through Him, and since Jesus was the son of God and rose again, Christ is the only way into heaven since He's the only way to remove sin.

I think it's more than likely that there is no "right." Theist and atheist alike, we cannot decipher the first iota of eternity.
Unless those fence sitting agnostics are "right"... uh, maybe....
