What if all religions are wrong?

Question

Seriously, what if all religions are wrong? And you find this out in your life time? How would that make you feel! Or are you 100% sure that they are right not wrong. Please tell me how you know that and what your religion is. I know there are so many different kinds of religions out there like lifesavors and they all claim to be right, but what if they are all wrong?

Answer 1

Im an atheist and agree with you since all religions cant possibly be correct. They all contradict eachother and all claim to be true. Depending how your raised and where you are from determines what religion you are. They train peoples mind into dogmatically believing they are superior to all other religions because your in the right religion.This is a religious cycle common to most if not all religions.

Answer 2

The best things cannot be told because we cannot fully grasp the transcendent. It is simply to Big for the Human mind to grasp.

The second best are misunderstood(like Religion) they are attempts to describe the transcendent what cannot be told.

The third is what we talk about politics and stuff.

All religion is wrong all they can do is try and touch what cannot be described. So this business of fighting over what metaphor is the correct one is insane.
Churches are full of sinners but at least in my opinion they are there trying to get better.

SO knowing that all religions are wrong and right at the same time makes all Humans my brothers and sisters. This is a great feeling. Being free of having to be right, being free of judgment is a piece of that transcendent and it is a great feeling. I can connect with that Higher power in any temple ashram church mosk or mountain top. Even at the Garbage dump. Its all beautiful.

Answer 3

Niether are all right, nor all wrong . However there is one that stands out as approved by God ... the ONE that follows His teachings rather than Man's ... His influence rather than that of his adversaries.

We are each admonished to:
"Make sure of all things; Hold fast to what is fine." 1Th 5:21

Answer 4

If you classify religion as right or wrong I don't see that Only science would judge religion this way I am a catholic & we have a lot of faults but a Jesuit could give you a good answer here I am not a biblical scholar or a Theologian so my beliefs really wouldn't matterto anyone would they??

Answer 5

They *are* all wrong -- and it's demonstrably provable.
What does that mean? It means that there are millions of people that are wasting all kinds of time, effort, and money in actions that will have no benefit for anyone. It means all of the inquisitions, religious wars, killing, jailing, burning, etc. that religions have done through the years are all for absolutely nothing. And it means that a large portion of the human race have been deluded by religious leaders hungry for power into believing things which are patently false, and wasting their lives on those beliefs. The only lives they will ever have.

Answer 6

Any religion that preaches OTHER religions are wrong, is wrong. Religion isn't about being "wrong" or "right". It is about heightening spirituality. If reading the Bible and praying to Jesus aids in you spiritual growth, then it has served it's purpose. Whereas some people don't need a book of guidelines and restrictions to become spiritually whole.

Answer 7

The bible says that there is only one true religion. The only way for a person to know the truth is to read the bible and not to believe what their priest, minister, pastor, etc says just because they said it. If it is not in the bible, I do not believe it.

Ephesians 4: 5 - one Lord, one faith, one baptism

Ephesians 4: 13, 14 - until we all attain to the oneness in the faith and in the accurate knowledge of the Son of God, to a full-grown man, to the measure of stature that belongs to the fullness of the Christ, in order that we should no longer be babes, tossed about as by waves and carried hither and thither by every wind of teaching by means of the trickery of men, by means of cunning in contriving error.

Answer 8

I see what you are trying to say but really religion is based on faith you cant prove or disprove faith its a belief in a higher power. Im a Christian btw. BUT if you could prove that a religion was totally wrong then people would lose a part of themselves their identity.

Answer 9

i do understand what you are saying i am a christian ,not religious claiming a particular religion(Jesus didnt) but spiritual,i love God with all my heart i have a problem with religions they seem to divide Gods people into seperate groups each in competition with the other the bible is our guide and we know it is truth so there is no debate,i cant say if a religion or all religions are right or wrong only that the bible is truth and God doesnt lead His people wrong

Answer 10

no one "religion" is 100% correct.

but practically all have at least some kernel of Truth in them, sometimes that truth is clear, clean and right out in the open, sometimes its buried in a load of junk, warped, and contorted and hidden away.

think of it this way, "Truth" is like a Gem suspended in a display case. each religion and viewpoint is like a shapshot of that gem, sometimes close up,sometimes from far away, sometimes a wide angle, sometimes a very narrow spot, and almost all from different angles and altitudes. with that concept, you could have essentially infinite, distinctly different pictures, all of the same "object".

now, the way to find SPIRITUAL truth, essentially, is to learn to filter the core-snapshot out from the muck, and to find its place, and assemble it along with all the other ones you've found, like a giant, ultra-complicated puzzle.

the more snapshots you integrate, the better view you will have of that gem.
