Yes religion is very personal—virtually from birth religious or ethical ideas are implanted in our mind by our parents and relatives. As a consequence, we usually follow the religious ideals of our parents and grandparents. Religion has become almost a matter of family tradition. The result is that in many cases others have chosen our religion for us. It has simply been a matter of where we were born and when. Or, as historian Arnold Toynbee indicated, an individual’s adherence to a certain faith is often determined by “the geographical accident of the locality of his birth-place.” Yet, as you imply by your question, all of these can not be true. There can not be 2 or more conflicting sets of truth.
That is why faith is an important enough matter that people should give thoughtful consideration to how and whom they worship. If religion is “the expression of man’s belief in and reverence for a superhuman power recognized as the creator and governor of the universe,” as one dictionary states, then surely the question should be, Is my religion good enough for the creator and governor of the universe? Also, in that case, the Creator would have the right to establish what is acceptable conduct, worship, and doctrine and what is not. To do that, he must reveal his will to mankind, and that revelation must be easily available and accessible to all. Furthermore, his revelations, even though provided centuries apart, should always be harmonious and consistent. This presents a challenge to each person—to examine the evidence and prove for oneself what the acceptable will of God is.

God did not give us 'religion'. He gave us His Word. He gave us Jesus, who started His church. He did not name it anything as we do today, viz. Roman Catholic, Buddhist. He said, "Go ye into all the world and preach my Gospel......" That was it! Just one simple instruction and the rest is history.

As we grew from age to age, people started forming their own 'ideas' of what they felt church ought to be and how they felt one ought to worship. They designed and re-designed one aspect and another over time until we find ourselves with so many diverse religions that we are in a huge convoluted mess. I feel my way is God's way and you are wrong, and vice versa.

We did this! Now, it is no wonder you have to ask which side is God on! (paraphrasing)

The real question is, and the Bible states that Moses asked this of God's chosen people, "Who is on the Lord's side?" right after he found them worshipping the golden calf.

God loves all of His creation, not some, regardless of their affiliation. He may not approve of what they do, but nothing takes His love away.

Not all religions believe in God.

i think there is one God who sent each and each of the prophets and the relevations. i even have confidence that all people religions have been one, on the commencing up, and persons replaced them with time to how they needed to have confidence. i think of there is in basic terms one God, if there became better than one God, each and each God might take its creation and seperate it from the others, it may be impossible for many Gods to stay at the same time, because of the fact they have quite a number of ability and might they no longer wreck one yet another with petty arguments? i do have confidence God exists because of the fact, if there became to be no God there may be no longer something interior the international. each and each of the organic and organic tactics each little thing happens together with his order

God is the author of the Bible which is His mind revealed to man. God is not the author of division. You will find in the Bible that Christ is the head of one body(the church) and that there is no other church or religious group that he died for. Christians make up the body of Christ and unless one has obeyed the form of doctrine that Christ taught, he cannot gain entrance into His body. Read Acts chapter 2 and you will find out what you need to do to be a member of this body. The Bible teaches that every tree that Christ has not planted will be rooted up. Take heed.

Well, if you believe in God, then you believe that He is the God of all creation, that would include those that believe in him and those that don't... Other religions are not excluded simply because they believe in something else... The One true God works through whom ever will let him in.

Only God knows, but it is my belief that as long as you believe in the one, true God, then you will be in Heaven.

Refer to my question... "To non-Believers (Christians you can snwer this one if you want): How do you overcome this in debate with Christians?

It asks a question that is important to this one. Namely... the uppercase and lowercase spellings of the word "god" and how it's difficult to separate them in debates.

If he's trying for even close to "for all religions", he's failed badly. But in actuality of course, there is no God.
