Answer 1

They're all false, sorry.

Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.

How terrible the bible in particular is:

Answer 2

There is no "true" religion, and anyone that says a particular religious ideology is the right one is either ignorant, or they're lying to you. Look man, it's all ridiculous. It's not that being a Muslim isn't ridiculous, but being a Jew is. Everything is ridiculous! Being a Catholic is ridiculous; being a Protestant is ridiculous; being a Baptist is ridiculous; being a Buddhist is ridiculous; being in anything is ridiculous; you're a human being! If you attach yourself and your mind to any ideology, you're going to be on a road; and that road may or may not lead you in a good direction. But you're gonna stay on that road if you're attached to an ideology, and it can be a terrible road: it can be a road of circumcising your daughter's clitoris because that's a tradition. I mean, these crazy people in Africa that cut holes on their lip and stretch them out to put plates on them, why is that? Because they got on a road, and they stuck with that road regardless of rational thinking--they didn't use rational thinking at all. They're just adapted to a predetermined pattern of behavior that makes life so much more simple. And that's what every religion is! The problem is no one knows. You cannot know. You can have your own beautiful, personal experiences--you could have been the person that was touched by god. But when you start yelling and ranting that other people have to follow your lead, the world is gonna end, Christians are gonna be taken away, I know you're full of bullshit; and you know you're full of bullshit. And the real problem is we can't say it, because everyone has this religious freedom--the freedom to express yourself. Even if you're expressing yourself with nonsense, nonsense that helps scare lonely sad people lock onto that nonsense so they feel like they're a part of something. I mean, that's what it is: religion preys on people whose lives suck. So, it's all nuts. It's not like my stuff's cool and your stuff's not, and it's not that yoga is the answer or drugs and alcohol are the answer-- there's just questions. We need to be honest with ourselves and acknowledge that it's our own insecurities that are asking us to search for an answer that's impossible to answer. And until we do, we're never gonna get anywhere. The human race is stuck in a giant quagmire when it comes to our behavior and our thinking about our behavior. For a lot of people man, religion can give you some inspiration. But there comes a certain point and time where you need to pop the training wheels off and recognize that all of this morality that you've developed is good because it's good to treat other people good. It's good to treat other people the way that you want yourself to be treated. It's like the golden rule, and there's a reason for it. And that reason is that we're connected in some strange way that we don't totally understand. And unless you are good to other people around you, unless you're kind and friendly and warm and loving, you're not gonna enjoy this life. You're gonna be problems everywhere you go, and you're gonna have problems everywhere you go; you gotta find a way to enjoy this life. It's not because of Jesus; it's not because of Moses; it's not because of anybody that may or may not have ever existed; it's because that's how you fit better in the world. That's how you stay positive. And it doesn't have to be some bullshit written five thousand years ago on animal skins. That doesn't have to be the golden rule because it's old; you know that's dumb.

Answer 4

All religion is an attempt to explain the unexplainable. As such, by it's very definition it is impossible to answer whether one specific religion is "right" or another religion is "wrong". While many, if not all religions have several facets that are historically true, they all attempt to infuse subject matter that, again, attempts to explain something that we cannot prove. That is why most of the world's religions must put so much emphasis on FAITH.

Answer 5

i would think seeing as you could dig up the bodies of Muhammad, Buddha, Triquetra, and most others, (once you found them), that Christianity and Judiasim would be "true", seeing as the bodies of Jesus (Yeshua), and Elijah, and The Almighty Adonai have not been found, (they found Yoshua not Yeshua, Aramaic Hebrew text vowel points cause controversy, and what dna have they to compare the body to?), i would agree that Christianity and some forms of Judiasim would be ultimately acceptabe. NOT whatever just feels comfortable with you cause then that's not a religion, thats pleasing you self and making yourself feel righteous, religion is a relationship, which will have ups and downs, (from our point of view) but in the end, (heaven) it's all worth it.

Answer 6

There is at least seed of truth in all religions. Think about it. Is it feasable that someone could get everything under the sun correct, while the whole rest of the world can't say a single true word? Not even by accident.

You know, if you dig deep enoug, I bet even Jeffrey Dommer did at least one good action in his lifetime somewhere.

Answer 7

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Theres no other ways to God but through Him. The Bible is our users manual. Its our guide to life on earth. Its 100% inspired by The Holy Spirit. The Christian "religion" is the only true belief system. All others are false.

Answer 8

wow, kind of a bad question to answer. Religion is no exact science with tangible proof outside one's own experience. True for one doesn't neccessarily equal true for all.
I think choosing one's own religion and telling everyone that they are wrong for believing otherwise is self-righteous and hypocritical. You can only know what path is right or wrong for YOU, not what is right or wrong for someone else.
A better question would be to ask yourself "what is a true religion for ME and what is a false one for ME" and only you could answer that.

Answer 9

Religion is man made, not God made. Jesus established a church in 33 AD and placed that church into Peter's hands. That church is the Catholic Church. There is only one true church and that church is the Catholic Church.Everything else is a divided branch off of the true church

Answer 10

Any religion which does not recognize the divinity and power of Quetzalcoatl and acknowledge the feathered serpent as the creator of all and the breath of life is a FALSE religion that will lead one into darkness.
