No question about that. There are only a couple billion christians in the world, so if they are right then billions are wrong. The reverse is also true huh? No matter who's right, billions of people are wrong. Right?

Yeah...really makes me search for answers.
The whole thing about religion is that you can never know that you are right for sure. There is uncertainty, and anyone who says otherwise is full of crap. I guess thats why I try to check and double check things to make sure I'm following the religion that I really believe is true, and not because I grew up with it, or that my parents wanted me to practice.
So, there a number or sites, and it reassuring to see certain things that just have to make a holy book a divine work. Some things that just have to be for real, and I guess thats what faith is. Like in my Holy Book, if you count up the number of times land is mentioned, and the number of times that sea is mentioned, you find that it comes out to the exact ratio that scientists have found.
I mean, thats just friggin cool, and there is no way any person could have come up with that. And even if one person did come up with that, I think it would be impossible to be so right and do it so often with a bunch of examples.
In the end, when all is said and done, I guess all I'm left with is the fact I believe. Neat question.

I believe in Noah's flood. I know that you dont. I do know in Noah's day only 8 people were right the rest wrong. Today I believe a few people are right and all the rest of the billions of people are going to hell

So are you saying we should not love our neighbor as we love ourself? Are you saying that we should not show compassion on the poor, and we should not fight for those who can't fight for themselves? Are you saying it is not a good idea to lay down your life for another person. Are you saying we should just all be selfish, and go our own way? There should be no obedience? No dying to self? Just do whatever you want, even if it hurts others?
Sorry, I'd rather be the one out of a billion.

i can spread lies and misinformation around and make billions of people wrong and no one will realize their wrong because they don't have the whole story or refuse the other side of the story cause they are single minded. ever wonder about that

This is true only if the "others" referred to hold a view that is mutually exclusive to my own. That is to say that many billions more have no view , right or wrong, since the issue is one they have no awareness of.
So, in answer to your question, yes.

Yes, all the time. That is why I almost always find myself wrong, and very, very, few times billions of people are wrong! ;)

There's no such thing as right and wrong. Right and wrong are not universal concepts, but rather culturally specific interpretations. So two people can have opposing viewpoints, and the BELIEF that they are right, makes them right in their own mind. When beliefs collide, the one that wins out is ultimately right.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
