How does say, a roman catholic feel about Jewish people? Buddhisim? How does 1 one clergy explain to their paticular following: small but glaring differnces on how one interpets a certain bible? The birth of Christ? The 2nd coming etc? From other people that belive in a greater being. That they are misguided? That they flat out wrong and spreading lies? How do the followers feel? That the other 5.5+ billion souls on the planet are wrong and they are right? Do they ever dbout their small following might have it wrong instead? And if their own interpetation is wrong, then maybe even the broader sense of their religion is incorrect too?

Well that is where the faith part of religion comes in. You know it is almost like I tell my children about Santa "you have to believe to receive". I feel as if you have to believe whole heartily in-order to truly understand any religion. As far as how other religion see other they do see then as wrong and some even see them as cults. And as far as the other 5.5+billion people that is why you witness and give testimony.

Speaking as a Roman Catholic, I don't 'feel' anything about Jews nor Buddhists as far as religion goes. My best friends in this place where I currently live are Jews, I do hate their right-wing politics, and their total IGNORANCE and visceral hatred of Islam. And it does not help that they are non-practicing. I frankly don't see where their politics is coming from.
As for other churches' interpretation of the bible: we don't bother! I frankly did not know anything about how other, non-Catholic churches read the bible, and did not want to know, until I began to see all the GARBAGE people say about the Catholic Church! Then I began to notice.
Bottom line: I find their reading defficient at times, and no, I don't hear this in church. Like I said, we don't really bother.

Yes I do worry that my beliefs could be wrong. As you say, 5.5 billion + would disagree with me!
It's always in the back of my mind that when I die, God will say 'sorry Penny, you got it wrong, you should have been a muslim' or the rotting corpse next to me saying 'sorry Penny, you got it wrong, there's nothing down here'
I think it's healthy to question your faith, and it will help you choose the right one for you, or none at all.

Well as far as I'm concerned, faith is a personal thing. I'm not going to tell another person what to believe. There are many different cultures and types of people, so perhaps it is necessary for there to be many religions as well? I personally believe that there are some universal truths which are common to all religions.

Hi. I was brought up a Catholic and was told that i belong to the one and only true religion .When i got older i formed my own opinion and i believe that all religions are correct and nobody can say one is better than the other.We all worship God and that is all that matters.
