One belief one religion one god?

Question

My question is: '"What do u think would happen if we combined all relgions in to just one singler belief'"?
Also my other question is: What relgion do u follow and explain why you choose that particular relgion e.g, was you brought up with that relgion and had no choice???

Answer 1

it would be scary. any such unity would only distance everyone from one's personal relationship with "god" as we are so fond of calling the unknown. one's relationship with "god" is a personal one, not a conforming one.

I think you would end up with Islam. Islam recognizes all the prophets from all the other religions and allows for their teachings to be accepted. So, for example, reading the Bible to understand Christ's teachings is acceptable in Islam. Also, we Muslims believe everyone who follows a different religion are going to Heaven. So, in other words, we sorta believe everyone is kinda right!

I follow Islam. I follow it because of the remarkable kindness and love shown to me by a little boy I tried to adopt. I decided I wanted to raise any kids I'll have to be as much like the little boy as possible, so since he was Muslim, I'm now Muslim, too. Also, the Muslim beliefs help me live my life straight edge (drug free and alcohol free), which is good because I come from a family of alcoholics. Further, I love the teaching of humility before everything else. I think too many people get caught up in trying to be God.

But I was raised Christian. I think Christians misinterpret the Bible, though, so that's why I'm no longer one of them.

Answer 3

I think that if all religions were combined, we would have very weak religion that wouldn't satisfy most people. Also, it's not like you can just choose a truth you like, or make a new 'combined' truth. Truth is truth.

I was raised in a Christian home, and I am still a Christian, but not because that's my default, or because I was forced into it. When I was younger, my family went through some very difficult times, and I saw Mom turning to God, and her faith growing through the difficulties. I think this had a lot to do with my own acceptance of Christianity. In my early teens, I went through times of questioning (especially when I was depressed), but I've just received too much evidence of God's love to turn away.

Answer 4

Christianity already tried the mono thing-it oversimplifies and does not work. I'm caught between Wicca and atheism. I was brought up Christian but only one deity supposedly in charge when there are so many opposing traits/qualities/etc...that seemed unbelievable. That, and the many contradictions in the one piece of literature that's supposed to be authored by a single entity.

Answer 5

I think the One true God who created us and everything else has more right to order us as to what religion we should follow. There was only one religion in the start (belief in one true god without sons,daughters etc) and that it was Adam and Eve believed in. That one true religion was corrupted by human desires and devils and thus 'newer' 'divine' religions were 'revealed'
God sent prophets throughout time to guide the mankind to the same one true religion which adam and eve believed in. He (god) sent Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and finally Muhammad. All of them Prophets and all of them need to be believed in and followed.
I think the best way to judge any religion is to read the scriptures of those religions without having any preconceived notions or perceptions about the religion...if you are really searching for the truth God will guide you to do...

Answer 6

It wouldn't work. Just like the United Nations doesn't work...they believe in "One government, One money and One religion".

I'm Muslim, a revert and I like to think the faith found me although I was, for many years searching. It wasn't until a talk with a friend in Pakistan that I realized Islam is what I had been looking for. That's not saying I believe the whole world should be Islamic but I believe those that have found Islam should be respected and I believe those that have found Islam should be respectful.

Answer 7

I suspect that it would not hold together very well. I draw your attention to the myriad denominations of Christianity, which all claim to be based upon the same idea, and the schisms within Islam, as well.

Humans can't agree on how to approach a yellow traffic signal. The idea that they'd agree on something so vague and undefinable as a relationship with a deity is rather pushing it.

Answer 8

No matter what religion was set up, there would still be people like me who would refuse to participate in it.

I was raised Church of Christ by birth and left it as soon as I turned 18. There was a time when I believed everything they said, hook, line, and sinker. Then I started asking questions that no one would answer, so I left. I tried a lot of others, but ended up choosing "none" as my religion.

Answer 9

why would we want one religion? diversity is a wonderful thing, all we need is to learn acceptance of other's beliefs, and to be allowed to follow our own choice.
I am a druidic pagan and I think that is what I have always been, but didn't realise it. I tried many other religions and spiritual practices before coming across druidry, and realising that was what I had been all along, just didn't know what to call it, it felt like coming home.

Answer 10

You'd end up with something weird, like worshipping the Great Romulan War Egg.

As to part two of your question: deism. I believe in one god, but a god based on logic and reason, who speaks to me through my conscience. I gave up the others because in the end, they just don't make sense. Things just don't add up.

Answer 11

One belief- at the loss of reason
One religion- at the loss of freedom
One god- to be gained through oppression and death

That is what would happen.Take all the good and mix it with all the bad that belief, religion, and the conceit of knowing only one God and that is what you will have on a global scale.
