Generally religions instruct people to do some things in some ways. But because of the ignorance of the people, you can't see people doing them right. Like some Muslims being suicide bombers.

So the followers of which religion can represent the teachings of their religion better?

Don;t you just love these "generalization" questions.

There are people in every religion who represent their faith well, and people who totally destroy it with their actions. The best anyone can do in answering this question is to base it on one or two people then know - and then generalize that all members of that religion are the same.

As the most common religion among people on the English USA YA are Christians, then is, of course, the one with which most they have had experiences.

As every religion and every church as someone in who is a bad representation, it will be the Christian religion that will show up at the top of the list.

It will, of course, total ignore that good that the Christian church has done over the centuries and is still doing today. It saves the lives daily of more people that any other organization of earth. It charities provide more food to the needy annual do that all the governments of the world put together. They provide clothing, shelter, medical aid, medicines, orphanages, schools, and more on a daily basis. They are usually the first on the scene of a disaster - where individual churches in the area or groups like the Salvation Army.

They also have stood as the strongest moral force in society for centuries. Most of the laws of western civilization today come from Bible principles. The belief that government should provide for the sick, poor and needy comes from Bible principles. The belief that murder, rape, theft, perjury, fraud, extortion, kidnapping, etc are wrong comes directly from scripture.

Without the Christian church, neither charity or morality would be present in society today.

So the Christian religion has many accomplishments to be proud of in its history. And is still the "best" representation of God in the world today.

Interesting to note that one person objected to your question then stated that "you have some of the most ignorant people on this site". Rather a rash determination, wouldn't you say? People of all religions do horrific things, not just Muslims. No religion is better or worse than another, if the religion makes it's followers better people.

Actually Islam does support suicide bombers. I've studied the Quran and there are plenty of Muslims who will admit to this - Islam is not a religion of peace. That being said, I would answer the question by saying that no religion can be perfectly followed. We are not a perfect humanity and God understands this. That's why Jesus was so against religion. It's better to have a relationship with God than to worry over practices, rituals, and going through the motions.

Muslims do not teach their followers to be suicide bombers. this is an extremest group of Muslims who have been taught the Karon is a very backwards fashion. The Muslims religion teach their followers to encourage everyone to practice the old way and fight for their beliefs and denounce any religion that does not recognize Allah as the one true God... Extremest teach to practice the old ways and to fight for their religion to destroy any other religion that does not recognize Allah as THE ONLY GOD.

and to be perfectly clear to you. Your question is dripping with racism.... not all Muslims are suicide bombs and maybe you should consider that prior to discussing the topic of their religion,and or pin pointing them specifically.

I think best is to ask those who are outside of the religions to answer this question. I am sure those who follow the full bible and live a life that glorifies God.

the followers of budda as a whole stand up for what they believe, they also help the needy. So i think that the buddist represent there religion the best.

I have to agree with the majority..Bhuddists. More specificly, Tibetan Bhuddist (like the Dhali Lama), which are more at peace with themselves and less judgemental to other religions, they do more in supporting them than anything.

you can judge the worst for yourself. Personally I like to seek the good in others.

Probably people that practice Wicca and other Pagan religions. They don't try to force their religion on others, they don't have cases of extreme radicals (true Wiccans don't) and they're really peaceful people. Buddhists and Hinduists are the same way too.

Also, Islam does not support terrorist bombers. The Muslim religion teaches that one will be greatly rewarded if dying while DEFENDING their religion, not being on the offense.

I think Buddhists would be the people who represent their religion best due to the fact that they have never started wars due to religion and that they have never commited immoral acts due to religion.
