What are 2 things about your religion that you would like to tell Other Religion's followers?

Question

I invite all relgions christians, muslims, buddhists hindus, pagans.....even atheists!!

Will you mention your religion too

Answer 1

Excellent question, Aum. I learnt a lot just by reading all the answers so far.

I am a Hindu (or a believer of ancient Indian wisdom, to be more precise). If I have to select only two attributes of my choice from Hinduism, I will select the following two:

1. Respect for other believes as said in Rigveda - Ekam Sat Viprah Bahudha Vadanti (Same truth is sung in multiple ways by various teachers).

2. Respect, dignity and reverence for life - not only human life but entire creation is considered to be within God (Vishwa Roop)

Answer 2

I am a Hindu. The two things that I will tell are as below:

1. I am in this religion, because I am born to the parents who were practicing it. So although I respect my religion as much as I respect my parents, I do not feel that I am lucky to be born a Hindu. I would have been ok anywhere else, because I wouldn't have had an option, but to practice where I would have been born.

2. My religion has it's origin from Sanatan Vedic Dharma, the Universal and Eternal Religion, which indeed is the origin of all the religions of this world, be it, past , present or future. By the time I die, I aspire to embrace my true religion ie Universal Eternal Religion with the grace of a true saint.

And If I don't get a true saint before I die, I am doomed, no matter how many holy scriptures I read.

Answer 3

I am a Hindu, and would take this opportunity to clarify two things about my religion:
1. Through the ages, Hinduism has popularly been thought of as a polytheistic religion of idol worshippers. While that is partly true, it is not a correct description of my religion. My religion is less of a religion and more of a framework within which different religious schools flourish. So my religion actually accomodates polytheism, monotheism, dualism, monism and even atheism. My religion is the one most closely associated with meditation and meditation does not involve physical objects of any kind, be it statue, book, beads, or places.
2. Hinduism is also the most open of all religions. In most Hindu temples in USA, you will also find idols of the Buddha and of Jain religious figures. Hindus unconsciously believe that the God of Christians and Muslims and Zoroastrians is the same God as their God and they respect the God of every religion. Historically, all religions were welcomed in India and allowed to practice unhindered, typically after they were persecuted in other lands.

Thanks.

Answer 4

I belong to Hindu religion. It is a religion with open heart. Anybody can go to a temple without converting into Hindu religion. Hindu religion accepts everyone in its fold without imposing any limitations and treats everyone with respect. Even if u convert into any other religion it does not go against u. If a muslim girl marries a Hindu Boy then the girl need not convert into a Hindu. So it respects ur identity, generous to u, loves u as u are. It does not criticize any other religion.

It is open and receptive
It is above from criticism for other religions.

Answer 5

I am a Hindu. My 2 things are as below –

1.No religion is better than the other. All preach the same morale.

2. Every religion is a doctrine which emphasizes only on how a person should become a better person. Only the theories and routes and procedures and examples differ, but they all lead to the same result.

Answer 6

Mine is not a religion. It is only a Dharma that too Sanatana. It explains how a human being has to conduct himself to remain blissful in this perpetual universe.

Only the Sanatana Dharma can answer all our doubts. This Dharma was built up by several noble souls by constant practise, meditation and observation.

This is the only Dharma that recognises every being as Devinne.

In the modern situation people use the word religion to describe every thing. But the word religion becomes minute before the Sanatana Dharma.

Answer 7

I am a Christian. Here are my two things:

1. Not all Christians are uneducated, ignorant hicks. The Bible has plenty of wisdom that is STILL used today. Ever read Proverbs?
2. All PEOPLE are hypocrites at one time or another. Are Christians not people? Of COURSE we're going to be hypocritical sometimes. But we're trying not to be.

And a third thing, just for free:

I truly do love everyone. That's what we're supposed to do. If you meet a person that professes to be a Christian but they hate people, it's very likely that they haven't completely given their life over to Christ.

Answer 8

Hi! I am a Christian. What I love about my religion is that it teaches us to accept everyone. Look at Jesus, he helped a woman who cheated on her husband and became great friends with her. In his day adultery was on par with comitting mass murder. I also love the challenge of my faith. There are so many people who bag it and sometimes plant doubts in my mind but I know that this religion is the one for me and therefore will always stick by it.

I hate the teachings of the church sometimes though. They are so backwards. For example they do not yet accept homosexuals yet one of our core teachings is that God made everyone and loves us all equally, sexuality and other factors are irrelevant to Him.

So bacially I love God but I do not love human beings who try and fully comprehend God and his ways. That is why he is a divine being, our faith is a mystery and when we try and read into things to much it ruins the beautiful core concepts of Christianity.

Answer 9

1) The relationship from God to humans is that of a Parent to His children
Too many see God as only a Lord or master to be obeyed and feared. Or as one who saves them and gives unconditionally like a Santa Claus with no need to return anything to Him.
But God desires our love more than obedience; yearns for a personal relationship, and not just praise.

2) "Peace on Earth, Good will to all" is God's goal for the world
God is not a failure. So since He made this world, it will have to work harmoniously. Otherwise, His creation failed. So "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven" is more than a childrens prayer ... it is the unaltered goal God has wanted to give humankind since placing us in Paradice / Eden.
Just because Eve took dietry advice from a talking snake, that doesn't mean God's original plan is destroyed, but rather only delayed until we return to His heart.

Answer 10

1. How could u not at least believe in some parts of the Christian bible, when some things, like Noah's ark, have been found and proved? This is to all those religions who have different bibles than Christians.
2. To all you Catholics......I'm Baptist and I don't see how u could put Marry above God. Marry is great and she is the reason Jesus was born, but God is who matters the most. Without God, Marry would have never been here, and neither would you.
