Why would one believe in God when religions are all different?

Question

Humans are capable of so much more than believing in fairy tales, I think. Make Progress.

Hm I should be clear: not all religions believe in a single God, so the argument that all religions are essentially "god" is bogus. Also, I have read the new testament and consider it mighty fine fiction. OK I've tipped my hand now. I still have yet to hear a good reason to believe in God when there are a smattering of different (yes, even contradictory) religions out there.

Answer 1

Yes.

And why would one believe in a religion when there is no evidence that one is more correct than any other?

If one has no good reason to believe in Zeus, why believe in the others?

Answer 2

All people originated with Adam and Eve. And there is only ONE Almighty God.
And His way is the only way.
All these different religions are made up by men.
There can be only ONE religion doing what God wants.
We should all look for it.
Matthew 6; 9,10...preach the Kingdom
Exodus 6;3...use God's personal name
Matthew 28; 19,20...make disciples.
Exodus 20; 4,5 ...do not use icons or statues.
The above negates most of the world's religions.
But not ALL.

Answer 3

I was an atheist, but I couldn't answer one single question: How can me become me, not she, or he, or even you. So, I started to look for God. And I found out that to look for God, I need one religion. Which is not claim that they are the only true one. So, I found Buddha and Catholic (not Protestant). Actually Hindu also, but Hindu was too difficult too understand for me. So, I think you should learn, look, and study there, and you will find magic happens in your life. So simple. You take 1 step, and God will run 1000 steps for you.

Answer 4

You are part of the group who worships God's creation instead of the Creator.

When you stand before God's throne on Judgment Day and you say to Him "I just didn't believe you were real". He will say to you, "You have no excuse, for the proof of Me is everywhere".

Jesus Christ is the Truth, the Way and the Life. You can't get to the Father except through Jesus Christ.

Get your self a New Living translation of the Holy Bible it is written in plain modern English, read it for yourself and make your own decision, or will you have contempt prior to investigation?

I dare you to read it. You will find the answers to how we got here, how to live while here, where we are going and the only way to get there.

Don't take anyone else's word, but God himself. The Bible is the handbook for life which is given to us by the Creator Himself. So if you have a desire for wisdom, the Holy Bible is where you will find it.

Answer 5

Religion is not God. Religion is man's attempt to understand God. Men have different ideas, therefore different Religions exist. Regardless of how man understands God, God is God who never changes and who is Creator of all. God's Word is truth, whether you believe in truth or not. God bless

Answer 6

God isn't a religion. God is who we should place all our thoughts into not a religion. Religions are basically traditions of men and have no real place in the sight of God. Because the truth will be told and accepted in the day of Judgment it is better to hold on to it now, while we still have a chance to be redeemed in His sight. Then what fairytale can save you then?

God Bless You

Answer 7

I would hope that if humans are capable of more...the one thing they would know for certain is that God did not make religions. Man made religions. God is laughing at our insanity right now...ironically that is.

Answer 8

God is the only way and Jesus Christ is his name. Anything else is based on false doctrines. devil applauds it. Notice
what Jesus stated......All that ever came before me are
thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
(John 10:8) sheep is the christians in the church body.
Only one Body that has been Water Baptised in Jesus christ
and filled with Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3, Galations 3:27

Answer 9

I can hear you now Tom..."But God, you don't exist, I have always held to that premise, What!? The lake of fire?!? No!! Your just a fairytale God!!?? Aren't you??!!" Thats too bad Tom. Hopefully you might have a change of heart before you die. Oh well, take care.

Answer 10

Granted I'm an atheist, but I don't see the logic in your rhetorical question. The diversity of world religions doesn't necessarily imply that one can't find a choice that works for him or herself. It's possible to take up religion without taking the view of "Mine is the only right one."
