After all Muslims, Catholics, Jews, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormans,7th Day Adventists' , etc all believe that theirs is the right path.
Don't you think it would be a bit funny if the world was to end and they found that the true religion was in fact the Hare Krishna's!!

this reminds me of the south park episode where everybody winds up in hell and are told that, in fact, the Latter-Day Saints had it right all along.
the faith that is right is that which leads you to love, understanding, humility, and righteousness. i have friends who are Buddhist, Baha'i, Christian, Hindu, and UU. their manners of relating to the Divine and to themselves and their brothers and sisters are informed by their faith, and they are made better people for it.

Engaging in devotional service to the Supreme Lord, who is the maintainer of this whole universe is everyone business, or better, is the supreme occupation of the every soul. Everyone is sustained by His mercy; therefore devotional service unto Him constitutes the true religion. Loving service to the Lord is a gradual process, if Muslin, Catholics, Jews, etc. are engage in this occupation they are in right path, till they get pure love for Krishna.

You are right! Everyone believes their religion is the true religion! So...what's the truth?
I don't believe in religion; they are man made. The truth is that God wants Spirituality, believing in Him and in Christ; and it doesn't matter which group we belong to.
God's church is made up of individuals who worship Him in Spirit and in truth...not because of the name of the church...
God judges us individually, based on what we do with what we know, how we worship Him, and how we love others.
Don't bother looking for that "perfect" religion...there isn't any such thing! Just be what you are, keep improving yourself, thru prayer and Bible study, find your own truth, and no matter what, even you're a Hare Krishna, God loves us all! ;~)

Do you really believe there is no such thing as truth? To be honest, I doubt it. We all believe some things are truth and some things are false. Our experience proves it, and our lives depend on it.
For example, have you ever realized how many times you act in a certain way because you believe something is true? You'd never drink from a bottle that was marked "poison"; you know it might kill you. Poison is always dangerous, and you avoid it because you know this is true. In other words, you act in a certain way because you believe in truth—the truth that poison kills.
What does this have to do with God? Simply this: God is the source of all truth—and He has revealed the truth about Himself to us. Christians believe God did this in a way that staggers our imagination: He became a human being. Do you want to know what God is like? Look at Jesus Christ, for He was God in human flesh! As the Bible says, "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory" (John 1:14).
This is why I invite you to look at Jesus Christ as He is revealed in the pages of the Gospels. When you do, you will realize how much God loves you and why Jesus alone could say, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).

Whatever religion u follow is the true religion as no religion in the world will tell u to disrespect other religions, communal warfare, corruption, make bombs, fight with ur neighbours. All the religions of the world only says to live in peace & harmony & let others live as well.

Religion is the law of God, and is created by God.
The purpose of religion is to Understand and Love God.
So if the religion we are following awakens our love for God,
then its the right path ,if it doesnt then its a waist of time,
and only causes disturbances to the society.
The test is in how much we love God.
If one becomes mad after god ,then ones is on the right path
How do we know if someone loves God ?
A great devotee of God , Lord Chaitanya expressed his
love for God in the following verses:
yugayitam nimesena
caksusa pravrsayitam
sunyayitam jagat sarvam
govinda-virahena me
O Govinda(God)! Feeling Your separations I am considering a moment to be like twelve years or more. Tears are flowing from my eyes like torrents of rain, and I am feeling all vacant in the world in Your absence.
aslisya va pada-ratam pinastu mam
adarsanan marma-hatam karotu va
yatha tatha va vidadhatu lampato
mat-prana-nathas tu sa eva naparah
I know no one but Krsna(God) as my Lord, and He shall remain so even if He handles me roughly by His embrace or makes me brokenhearted by not being present before me. He is completely free to do anything and everything, for He is always my worshipful Lord, unconditionally.
So if one cannot live without God even for a moment ,
and accepts everything as his mercy ,only wanting to
serve him unconditionally and wanting nothing in return.
Then one has attained love of Godhead.
It wouldnt be funny, the purpose of the world is, for us to attain liberation from all sufferings ,and help each other.So what
use is there for anything if the world ends.

Believing that theirs is the one true religion I can stand. Believing that everyone else is going to hell is what cracks me up.

People believe, not know, their religions are all true. Believing is being convinced that is true without proof. Knowledge is gained with harder work and is more valid.

There is no 'truths' in any religion, only irrational 'beliefs'. Things taken without the burden of proof.

I don't think it works that way. In my faith I believe that God just thinks people will "get over" their religiousness some day and then live as they should - together and in harmony.
