wether is Christianity,Islam,Judaism,Taoism,Buddhism,Athiest etc etc. why do we as people think our religion is better than someone elses? Are we that conceitied or are we just blind to see that there is no true answer out there of exisitance of a higher being. I do believe in this higher being and im aware of his presence. But why is religion becoming a topic that people around the world are fighting and killing themselves over. Will society ever accept all religions? Will religion eventually be erased from society? Will this higher being show his or her face on this Earth?

im not saying that my belifs are better than anyone elses. i was just saying that im not athiest if anyone thought that. yes im a catholic. but that has nothing to do with this question. all im asking is that will society as a whole ever accept all religions

and theres nothing wrong with being an athiest. im trying to make this question as UN-BIASED as possible. the purpose of this question was not to put one religion on the spot. but to see what other people think about society today and how religion plays a big part.

I understand what you're asking. It's wrong to act better than someone else because of religion (or anything else, for that matter! race, age, etc.)
However, if you check out the Bible (I'm Catholic too), it says that Jesus really is the only way to God. "No one goes to the Father except through me." "I am the way, the truth, and the life." So as a Catholic, that's what I believe.
So, I really do believe that my faith in Jesus is the only way that I can be saved, and I want everyone else to have that personal relationship too. However, that does not make me better than anyone else, and I should not force my beliefs on anyone. I should love everyone no matter what religion, or lack of it. And I should not act like my beliefs are better than anyone else's.
Hope I explained my views clearly.

faith:- faith is a gadget of ideals and worships jointly with a code of ethics and a philosophy of existence. there are a number of faiths interior the international at present. a number of those religions are of present day commencing place yet maximum of them are very old. in reality all of us recognize from heritage that guy has constantly had a faith. Even the primitive men residing in caves or jungles had some variety of religion. The concepts and rituals in guy's faith have constantly developed and grow to be greater rational and state-of-the-paintings as time went on. The primitive religions of the Cave guy and the Bush guy gave upward push to the well-known religions of the previous 3 thousand years. at present, the main significant religions of the international incorporate: international faith ----- Originated in Zoroastrianism ----- Iran Confucianism ----- China Hinduism ------ India Taoism ------ China Jainism ------ India Judaism ------ Neat East Christianity ------ close to East Islam ------ close to East Buddhism ------- India Shinto ------- Japan those are the super religions of the international that are no longer purely to blame for all our amassed wealth of know-how, philosophy, ethics, and social and ethical codes, yet have motivated the lifestyle, the language and the ethical attitudes of almost each man or woman residing at present. difference between non secular and Non non secular Peoples. a million.

Everyone with an opinion can reasonably expect that their opinion is correct - nothing strange about that. The problem is when people believe that mere opinion is substantiated fact. Personally, I have no problem with religious diversity, or with religious people who believe that their opinions are right.
You yourself, for example, have an opinion that you stated in your question, and you assume that your opinion is more valid than the differing opinions.

To answer those last 3 questions, no, no, and probably not.
I personally don't believe my religion to be superior to others (by not ONE path could we arrive at such a tremendous secret).

Answer is pretty simple- man made religion- so it has weaknesses- pride, false beliefs, inconsistencies and the likes.
This is why all we need is a relationship with Jesus Christ!

As a Christian I believe we have the answer..we have the cure for the disease, and that there is only one cure. I can't be supportive of someone elses cure if I believe ours is the only one that is real

probably not. But maybe by then we'll have all killed ourselves with weapons of mass destruction.
