Religions were meant to benefit mankind, but we find bloodbaths happening for their sake. Will God accept only one form of religion or only prayer in one language? Does he need a language to understand your thoughts? If he is everywhere is not he within the people of other religions too ?

Religions shouldn't try to prove anything. They should only try to discover. It is when you try to prove, that you are really trying to convince yourself. Religion shouldn't be an organization or a standard of belief that people are taught to conform to.

We should strive to follow the best aspects of all religions: love, joy, peace, grace, forgiveness, mercy, tolerance, community, prayer, environmental concern, valuing human life, helping the poor, etc.
Personally, I believe that Joshua the Messiah - that is, Jesus the Christ - represents a perfect example of what is best in religion. This being said, I also value what is good and true in other religions, such as Buddhism or Islam.

Martial arts were meant to promote harmony and discipline over oneself: doesn't stop people from holding cage matches and kumites.
Cooking is meant to more dynamically prepare and thus expand the variety of foods by which we can consume: doesn't prevent chefs from declaring their restaurants the 'best' of a city, state, country, world, Top 10, ranked #1, etc etc etc.
Whereso is distinction, so will be competition. Winners exist because people like the feeling of winning.

Wiccans accept responsibility for all their actions and their life. They do not believe in a devil, namely Satan, to blame their faults or mistakes on (such as the devil made me do it!). They seek to know themselves, overcoming weaknesses and building strengths. Wicca also does not seek to convert others to their belief. They believe that when a person is ready or seeking the path of Wicca they will be led to it.

I like my food very hot and the chilly pati (a type of small chilly
which is very very hot). I INSIST you to eat your food in the
same manner as me.
HOW DO YOU FIND THAT INSTRUCTION !?
How do you feel if you like to eat bread and I want you to
change to eat rice every day??
Same reason.

Yes! They should fight, fight fight! Slay the unbeliever! Death to the infidel!
Us heathen will sit this one out. We'll watch from the sidelines, if that's OK. And cheer occasionally, when someone scores in an impressive way.

If objective truth exists it would behoove us to develop the most valid belief system. If their is no objective truth it's pointless.

There should be equal exchange... it is all about symbolic representation for the admired mysterious.
