How can there be one belief system for every person when everyone is an individual?

Yea I asked b/c you see so many ppl trying to force what THEY believe on you and I don't think there is one way to be for everyone. It doesn't even make common sense to me personally.
Thanks for all of your opinions...y'all rock!

Absolutely. How can it not be a personal choice? No one can answer for your actions, feel your feelings, or make your choices. Spirituality is a personal relationship that you, as an individual, have with your "higher power". And it is just that, PERSONAL

Agree, It should be a personal choice, But there is many pressures on certain people in certain cultures and community's that there is no choice but to accept one spirituality.
And its the will to survive that people accept certain religions so they can move freely through there community and interact with others without indignation cast on them or pain or death.

Easy, take away eveyones democratic rights, freedoms and force them.
There will never be one belief system.

Yes of course it should be a personal choice that means that individually we have given it some thought. However there is no one belief system, evidence so many religions in this world goes along with the variety of cultures we are different. Anyone who believes otherwise is clearly naive.

It definitely should be a free choice. But the question, indeed, is how can there be one belief system,as you asked? Well, I guess we just have to rely on every person's desire to seek the Truth. As humans, it is natural for us to seek the Truth (an objective one) and never to stop looking for it. When everyone continues to seek it, then eventually, there will be one belief system. But of course, it's harder done, way harder, than it's said. The Truth is elusive, that's why we ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in discerning regarding this matter.

Spirituality is a personal choice, you have the right to believe whatever you want. There are more then one belief systems, but that does not make the belief systems right.

Yes and no. Yes, in that people should be free to choose what they believe. No, in that belief does not change the facts.
Regardless of what you believe, you still have the responsibility to ensure that civil laws are in the interest of society as a whole and not a reflection of a given moral system.

Its a choice with one right and many wrong answers.
Simple logic should tell you that if there was more than one God, all those gods would have fought it out long ago and only the strongest God would be left.
That One God would have One Religion and all other religions are wrong.
If you'd like to learn more about that One God and about His Only Son Jesus, see the links below or talk to me off line.

Persosnal choice...
A belief system can be between those who have made
that same personal choice...they are united in their belief.
I don't think one can be truly spiritual if they haven't come to a personal realization and understanding in the first place.
I don't think Religion, belief or spirituality should be forced on anyone.

Agree, because IT IS a personal choice. A choice the God gave us the ability to make.
Religions and Churches are generalities. You can still attend a denominational church and believe as you personally believe. You won't be struck down because you dared to tread on "holy ground."
Or you can open your own church.

No one's forcing you to believe in ONE system. People have the right to have an opinion, you don't have to follow them, or even listen to them.
I agree that it should be a personal choice, but I know it already is.
