Beliefs??? Is there a religion that i believe in??????

Question

I feel that each single persons beliefs are their own right and what ever they believe in is correct. For example if a person believes in after life then they will go to this after life that they believe in. Also if a person believes in Christianity and that they will go to heaven than they will. Thanks.

Let me reiterate what i just said... No one seems to understand the point that I am trying to get across. Is there a religion which consists of being understanding of everyone else's religion? Lets say I have a friend who thinks that when they die they will turn into an animal or some part of the earth. I would agree with them and say if thats what you believe in than thats what will happen when you die. Thanks everyone.

Answer 1

Pretty well makes sense to me. There is, in belief, an act of creation that I don't think people are aware of.

ETA: Shaman: Never understimate the power of everyone else's belief, like in the laws of physics. ;)

Answer 2

I used to like the idea of this as well. But I looked a bit deeper & discovered Jesus. I always asked why the churches needed me to believe what they did, they were just trying to control us. Now while I don't always agree with what people say, the Bible I agree with. I may not always do what others ask of me, if I know it's right I do it. My life is a lot better & I am becoming a better person. This is not something I could do on my own. I encourage you to look into christianity, but look deep don't just skim the surface & believe what others tell you, it may be difficult but let Jesus guide you.

Answer 3

Do you believe if you give up your life for Allah and take 20 infidel es, 6 women, and 47 people are injured, do you believe that person will go to heaven with 17 or 72 or what ever the latest number of virgins is ?????

Answer 4

Yes, every person does have the choice to believe the way he or she wants. However, just because a person doesn't believe in heaven or hell does not mean that it's not there.

Example: If I said I don't believe that Alaska really exists because I've never been there or seen it, does that make Alaska be gone?

Answer 5

You absolutely have the right to believe whatever you want.
So if you believed you could fly, you'd jump off a tall building, right? Just believing something DOESN'T make it true. That's called psychosis--believing something is true that isn't, and that can seriously affect your life in a negative manner.
There is TRUTH, and it is real no matter what anyone believes.
I'm not going to tell you what that is, because you didn't ask. But your line of reasoning is called 'magical thinking' by psychologists, and is one of many possible thinking errors that keep us from reaching our full potentials. Best of luck.

Answer 6

I can not agree; that would obviate any possibility of error, which makes no sense: if A says that god exists, and B says that god does not exist, it is not possible that both are correct. If you feel the need of a religion, there is certainly much to choose from, but I find no reason to believe in the existence of god so consider all religions to be spurious. I commend the reference to your attention.

Answer 7

How could just believing in something make it real?
There really is a plan to everything and the way life works. Learn more here: www.mormon.org.

Answer 8

COULD it be that you are missing out on something important in life? If you know little about God, then most certainly you are. Why? Because, millions of people have discovered, getting to know the God of the Bible brings major benefits in life. These benefits start immediately and last into the future.
Jehovah God, the Author of the Bible, wants us to get to know him. The psalmist wrote: "That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth." He recognizes that it is in our own best interests for us to know him. "I, Jehovah, am your God, the One teaching you to benefit yourself." How do we benefit from knowing Jehovah God, the Most High?-Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 48:17.
One real benefit is that we get guidance in the face of everyday problems, a firm hope for the future, and peace of mind. Furthermore, being well-acquainted with Jehovah moves us to develop a different attitude on the most vital issues that face people all over the world today. What are those issues?
Does Your Life Have Purpose?
Despite mankind's astounding technological progress, individuals today still ask the same fundamental questions: 'Why am I here? Where am I going? What is life all about?' If a person does not get satisfactory answers, his life will lack true purpose. Do many people sense this shortfall? A study carried out in Germany in the late 1990's revealed that half the respondents often or sometimes felt that life seems to have no purpose. Perhaps a similar situation exists where you live.
Individuals still ask the same fundamental questions: 'Why am I here? Where am I going? What is life all about?'
Without a purpose in life, an individual has little bedrock upon which to build personal goals. Many try to compensate for this deficiency by pursuing a successful career or by accumulating wealth. Still, the emptiness can be haunting. Having no purpose in life even disturbs some to the point that they no longer wish to live. Such was the experience of a beautiful young woman who, according to the International Herald Tribune, was raised "amid stunning wealth and unlimited privilege." Although she lived in luxury, she was lonely and felt that her life was aimless. She took sleeping pills and was found dead. You may know of other lonely ones whose lives ended tragically.
Have you, though, heard people claim that science can tell us all about life? German weekly Die Woche points out: "As true as science is, it is spiritually weak. Evolution seems crude, and even quantum physics, with all its unpredictable fluctuations, offers anything but comfort and security." Scientific discoveries have done much to describe life in its various forms and to explain natural cycles and processes that maintain life. Yet, science cannot tell us why we are here and where we are going. If we depend solely on science, our questions about the purpose of life go unanswered. The result is, as the newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung reported, "a widespread need for guidance."
Who is in a better position to give such guidance than the Creator? Since he put humans on the earth in the first place, he must know why they are here. The Bible explains that Jehovah created humans so that they could populate the earth and care for it, being its stewards. In all their activities, humans were to reflect his qualities, such as justice, wisdom, and love. Once we understand the reason why Jehovah created us, we know why we are here.-Genesis 1:26-28.
What Can You Do?
What if you in the past have found no satisfactory answers to the questions: 'Why am I here? Where am I going? What is life all about?' The Bible recommends that you get to know Jehovah closely. In fact, Jesus said: "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth...(John17:3)

Answer 9

Perceptions may be true or false but strong perceptions leads to attitudes which are formed by an individuals.Strong attitudes leads to norms and standers.When norms and standards are stronger and stronger, they are called beliefs which can not be violated. Beliefs are carried from one generation to another generation for a longer period.
