Actually, I believe they all think they are right, but that can't actually be true, now can it?

I truly believe that religions are culturally specific ways to address similar spiritual needs. If you break any organized religion down to its core you will likely find a very similar set of values (ie: be a good person, respect others, be peaceful, resign yourself to that which is outside of your control, etc.). As cultural needs vary, so do the implementations of organized religion to address those varied cultural needs.

The notion that one religion is correct while the other is destined for hell can not be correct simply because this would exclude too large a section of the world's population. I do not subscribe to the idea that a good, spiritual person in India will go to hell simply because they are Hindu.

At the end of the day we are all trying to understand the driving force that spawned humanity and trying to become better people through the quest. How we go about this is simply different by means of the culture we have been born in to.

I think there is only one true religion that actually pleases God and leads to salvation, because no two religions teach the exact same things, so how can all of them please God if only one of them is actually doing what he commands in his word the Bible. I think if you really want to find that one true religion you should read your Bible and see what God commands and then explore different religions and see which one is actually following Gods' commandments and living according to his will. Not full of hypocrites, and people who are "preaching according to their own will, thoughts, and beliefs, but what God actually speaks through the Bible. Think about this also there are probably millions of Catholic churches, millions of Baptist churches, etc.. but if you go to all of the Catholic churches in your city, are they all preaching the same things and working in unison with each other to make sure that all of their preaching and teachings are in harmony with each other and the Bible. The same thing with the Baptist and other churches, because if they are all the same religion and actually true worshipers of God, shouldn't their preachings all be the same and shouldn't they all agree on the Bible's teaching about Heaven, hell, and everything else that most religions disagree about?
I hope this helps you.

There is no Truth in satan.
satan cannot come up with an Original Idea.
satan is an angel, not a Human Being.

Now, satan has to watch GOD do something, then satan copies it and perverts it and it becomes SIN.

GOD is Reality.
satan copied GOD and came up with RELIGION.

It is sometimes close to Truth, but will damn you just the same IF you do not get SAVED.
(spirit Recreated, Born-Again).

Ditto........that is what I think of Religions

p.s. And if you DO get Saved and get Stuck in a Religion, you probably won't Learn Much on How to Use your Faith---but you will Still Make it to Heaven.

In reality, I find them to be in a mindful state of dementia, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. As a matter of fact, they are quite bizarre. Truly, eccentric animals fighting for reckless and irrational beliefs. I concur with your "yeehaw" statement, but actually, I must ask for your forgiveness, for I did actually call you a baby sasquatch... my sincere apologies...

I think all religions have the same purpose...to regulate life, respect to others and keep faith.
I believe that there are many religions due to the fact that we are all different and we understand and think in a different way. So it allows us to choose the one we feel is the right one.

Depend what you class as a religion, and what is a belief system.

I don't think there is anything wrong with trying to explore spirituality, and trying to harness the Tri-Force. The Dictator like rule Ganon would have us live under isn't good.

Do you realize how many religions there are? This question is way too open-ended. Unless you are an atheist and are just contemptuous of all religions, it's impossible to give an impression on ALL the world religions in this forum.

Of course, that's probably all you really mean to do. If so, please be more honest and ask the question honestly. "Please tell me why you hate religions?" or some other honest question.

They are all man made. If they try your patience and drive you crazy because they're full of holes then they serve some purpose. They can be a test matrix that shows you that eventually you must turn inwards and learn to trust your heart.

I think they're fine. I might not believe in all the ideals of every single religion on the planet, but whatever. I think we can learn a lot from all of them.
