NONE!!! it is a bad idea to be fully immersed in a religion, this kind of argument gets people KILLED!!! you have Muslims killing Christians, vice versa, and you have other nasty conflicts because of this question. its best to be unaffiliated, so go with either agnostic or athiest. at least then you have almost no chance of being brainwashed to fight for a religion. also please dont say that "women are more open mided and they listen" there are plenty of guys that are "openminded and listen" obviously if they are religious die hards, then they wont listen. Also most religions have something about the inequality of the sexes, like in Christianity, where the woman is made from a part of the man, so she is not worth as much.

also, think about it, there is a countless amount of religions in the world, so there is no "one true way". think, how many religions state that they are the "one true way"? if there were that many, then it wouldnt make any sense, also usually when you choose a religion and take it too far, you close off your mind to everything else, you become consumed in the small sphere of that religion, eventually, you start beliving that everyone should believe in what you believe, which is a foolish thought.

by the way, I AM ATHIEST, AND NO I DONT HATE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE! however I do hate people that take religion too far and try to impose their religion upon others, i believe those people should be punished. people deserve to think what they want, as long as it doesnt deal with changing other's veiws forcefully.

The best religion is an open mind. Wisdom and peace of mind can be found in all the existing religions.

It's good to feel spiritual in everything we do.

All religions must be truthful becuase they exist. Each one contributes to the beutiful peoples of Earth. I like not to favour only one but wish to respect all. Life is to short to hate one another.

lol,....I guess I will give every answer a thumbs up. I'm glad to be in community with beutiful people.

I've been catholic, christian an d now I'm messianic, which is very close to Judaism. I can't really tell you which is the best religion, because it is not about the religion, it is about how you behave, so it doesn't matter if you are catholic, Muslim, Jew, because the way you behave according to your beliefs. you can be of any religion, but if you don't do what you say, you're not doing the right thing. the best religion is the one that you feel comfortable, confident, and the one that you can really feel God, His presence, and they're not taking your money.
for me, I can say, mesianisim is the best. the only big difference with Judaism is that I believe in Jesus as the Messiah.

Christianity; because we are made NEW CREATURES. We are not the same person with a bunch of rules to try to keep, but we are made a new person whos nature is to do the correct thing. I believe all other religions just give the rules and then tell you to do this or that, but doesnt change your nature so that you can do it. its called legalism. It seems like most Christians don't know this and tend to live legalistic lives.

The original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses and Jesus ) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values


However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.


The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the "Torah" which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.


This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.


There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an. However, in the case of the Bible, even the most ancient manuscripts conflict with one another so that no two are identical. Footnotes in all modern versions of the Bible prove this fact.


These revisions serve as concrete proofs that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect



It was only natural for Almighty God to preserve the scripture revealed to Prophet Muhammad, because he was the last Prophet and Final Messenger of God.


Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.in Islam there are no priests or clergy -- each worshipper, man or woman, has a direct relationship with their Merciful Creator -- Almighty God. Since God is the Owner and Sustainer of everything, as well as the only one who can provide true and complete forgiveness, it is completely futile to try to approach Him through anyone else.


The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; the Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all, but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.


As the Qur'an is the final revelation and Muhammad is the final prophet, humanity is obligated to accept it: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost all spiritual good" (3:86).


The Final Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is messenger of God, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven."


you can do that now as you are reading these lines is to pronounce the two confirmations and attestations of faith, here it is




I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH ( ARABIC WORD MEANS ONE GOD-THE CREATOR). AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER.



The right picture of lslam is conveyed in the Qur'an, which is exemplified by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The reality is that it is not fair to judge a religion by the actions of its followers alone because there are good and bad followers in every religion. The correct thing to do is to judge a religion by its documented revelation from God and the prophet who brought that revelation.

I encourage Christians and other religions to learn about Islam from Muslim sources and The Basis Of The Muslim Belief and not rely on second hand information which in many cases is distorted or contains a deep seated anti Muslim agenda. This is indeed a more scholarly approach

Simply said, no religion is best. Religion consists of rituals and many added man made rules and ideas. The only true way of life and salvation is to know God. To have a personal RELATIONSHIP with Jesus. To have the Holy Spirit swell with in you, he who is sent by the Lord Jesus to lead, counsel and comfort those who are saved by the mercy and grace of Jesus when he shed his blood on the cross for all. All that will accept his GIFT will know him (Jesus) and see the Father.

ok i am a woman. i am a muslim. i believe my religion to be the best i would die for m religion. example if some one were to put a gun to my head and tel me convert or die my reaction would be hands down die. here is an answer you might not expect from a muslim considering all the untruth rumors cirrculated about islam. what ever religion you believe to be the correct way of life is the best religion for you.in the quran it states that muslims are not allowed to force people to become muslims doing so would do islam no good any ways. verily god knows what is in a persons heart. what good would it do to tell some one who with all the conviction in their soul in what they believe in is wrong and to revert to our religion. religion in restrospect is in the eye of the worshipper.imosing anothers beliefs on a personmay be unwelomed and a put off. i would never want to tell some one jin my religion because it is the only right one knowing i am wasting my time because they already have their own beliefs. i believe islam to be the corret unaltered religion. i believe it to be the word of god i believe that islam has the perfect set of laws, and is fair to every one. i believe that god sent prophet muhammud sallahualayhewasallam to try to set things right for the people in this world who are in turmoil and filled with malicious injustices.one thing i learned with islam is who ever is telling another that they are going to hell for what ever religion is wrong for the simple fact because they are not god. they do not know what god knows and last and foremost not one being on this planet knows what god knows bottom line we are not god. so there for in essence we need to mind our own affairs and stay out of other people's life choices. we do have the right to dictate our children to the best of our avaiability to ensure a proper richous up bringing but in the end as a free thinking human being they are bound to make their own decisions. what ever religion you choose to aquire just prey that it is the right one for you. if you are comfortabl withyour own religiion and way of life then that is all that matters no one can truly tell you what is right for you, that is like telling some one who they should love., same thing for telling people who you should worship. it is an individual decision and a personal journey we all must have to face at least one point in our lives. do not think that it is just women to who are open minded. there are many men in this world who are open minded and are willing to speak with you on these matters. judge a person by their individual opinions and do not confine your judgement on the belief that just because you happen to be a woman that you are more open minded. judging by how many more women then men there are in this world i would have to say that it is quite the ontrary when you think world wide. remember that the western way of thinking is only confined to a small portion of the world and the rest of the world happens to be be a majoirty of oppressed women. this is all other continents. good luck on your quest to finding yourself. if you have any more questions for me feel free to email me. take care!

No religion is the BEST one. Whatever religion makes you feel most centered and most connected to your higher power. It's all about you and your higher power, it's not about you and what everyone else thinks.
