ie if you want to wish the Greek pantheon to be the true one you have the power to make it so. Do you want Christianity, or Islam, or Buddhism or asatru or whatever.
Which system of belief do you wish to be true? and why?

Speaking as a practising Buddhist, I would naturally wish that everyone would investigate all faiths, with a completely open mind, put each one to the test and choose which one speaks to their heart.

Christianity. Why? Because I KNOW it to be completely true. The Bible is the divine Word of God; and It teaches us all the rules of life. God is not something you can wish away or wish differently. God is GOD. He is the Great I Am. The same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
The One True God does not open the door for wishes. He is Almighty, not some wishy-washy voodoo fella who changes his mind every time you turn around. However, He will open all doors to you if you believe that Jesus Christ was His Son, came to earth in human form, died, rose and is ascended. What good is any religion that can be changed or wished away at every whim? What good is any religion without a personal relationship? We have but One mediator between ourselves and God; and that is Jesus Christ.
It's not what you wish, but what IS.

I assume you mean which religion would I want the whole world to uniformly agree as true. If the world didn't define the true faith by full consensus, then this point would be moot.
As such, it doesn't matter which one that is. If the world reaches a consensus, then it is that unity of faith that will be of extraordinary benefit, far more than the actual faith selected.

Christianity! It is because THE LORD JESUS CHRIST was a real historical man and GOD incarnate. There is nothing wrong about Christianity only the Christian churches and its peoples are imperfect. On one hand, all religions and churches are imperfect except the Philadelphia church in the spirit which means is the love of GOD. Similarly, there is nothing wrong with Islam. But what is wrong with it are the leaders and their peoples and they are just the same imperfect as the christians because they are blind to the divinity of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Among the imperfections of the Christian churches are the following: the Hebrew oriented churches with GOD'S comment as LOVELESS as they opt to follow the law and evenso cannot follow the law; the mormons with GOD'S comment as not courageous. It is because as they claim being the Saints they should be courageous to give up their lives and pour their blood to the ground to give birth to christian churches in the frontier areas. But most of the Mormons are living comfortably in the City and not in Christian life threatening places like Iraq, agfhanistan, Iran, Mongolia, Manchuria,Vietnam, etc. The Born again and fundamentalist oriented churches with GOD'S comment as BACKSLIDERS; and the protestant and anglican with GOD'S comment as CORRUPT; and the scholars, intellectuals, writers oriented churches with GOD's comment as DEAD because they believe their own intellect which GOD merely gave them; and the Catholic, ecumenical and eastern orthodox churches with GOD'S comment as LUKEWARM. On hand, Buddhism is more philosophical and in this sector, BUDDHA is the Prophet among them. There is nothing wrong about Judaism, only its leaders and its peoples are imperfect and are blind to the divinity of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. But their blindness has a divine purpose which is to show the glory of THE LORD GOD in the 2nd coming of the LORD JESUS CHRIST when everybody will be perfected and will be one with THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Asatru!
Because out of all the religions I practiced, it's the one I still love. I really wish I could believe in the Gods and in the afterlife. I would absolutely *love* for it to be true. But alas, I cannot find any evidence.

Bokononism. Definitely Bokononism.
I would love to see the Bokononists trying to deal with Bokononism as a true religion.

Geez, this is like one of those stupid contests where all you can win is like a half used tube of toothpaste or a tin of cocktail wienees. The one where, having "won" I'm inclined to just throw my ticket on the floor and walk out, vowing never to return. Okay, no, you know what? I've seen some pretty cool sounding pagans on here, I'll throw my wish to them. Buddhists, of course, don't need to know their religion is true. The rest? Screw 'em.

I am a Christian and I would wish it was true, which I already believe it to be :)
