Why do religion dismiss opposite religions/view? do you believe that your own religion is the best religion?

Answer 1

Evolution is not a theory, where as God is a theory. Therefore Evolution is fact. God is nonesense.

Head Chef...Oh please. You really ought to study more! There is nothing more factual than Evolution. It's plain common sense. As eggs are eggs...Oh dear oh dear oh dear!

Answer 2

What amazes me is when these questions are asked a lot of Christians just reproduce great lumps of text from the bible as though that is going to prove anything. If you think that the bible is a lot of myths, political statement, with half truths and bit of uncertain history then reading bits of it are not going to convince you to become a christian. Also there seems to be some Christians who think that if you are an atheist you belong to some sort of rival religious group whereas the whole point of being an atheist is that you do not belong to any group to do with a religion

Answer 3

Atheists believe their religion is the best religion, hmmm?

I think that if I didn't believe in God then Buddhism would be an excellent alternative. However, since I have a very firm belief in God then I've chosen Christianity. After weighing up the many options, I decided it was the most appropriate for myself. I respect the rights of others to chose what's best for them.

Answer 4

What I know now is what I think is the best. However, I'm always open to learn because I'm not always right. There are lots of things that I know for certain, but lots of things that I don't. I just take my stand on the important ones.

Some religions I completely disagree with though.

Answer 5

Everybody believes they are right, even athiests. It would be a special type of fool that would devote his life to something he didn't think was right.

adnAMa- why is that silly? Surely the opposite is far sillier where nobody thinks they are right but does it anyway.

Ant man - You are just plain wrong, evolution is a theory, in fact many theories .Scientists agree about as often as politicians do.
Common sense? Common sense says that something intricate, complex and beautiful must have had a designer. To suggest that the earth just happens to be at the right place, at the correct angle and rotaing at the right speed to
allow life, that living things came from nothing,and developed from each other and at the right time to help each other.That this happened at the same time that vegetation just happened so that they would have food, that girraffes new they would need a long neck in a few million years so started work on evolving one before they died of starvation needs a bigger leap of faith than to believe in an inteligent designer that happens to be -horror of horors- greater than us.

Answer 6

I can honestly say that I believe that I have found the true religion. It's because all of the things that my religion teaches can be backed up 100% by the Bible. I have seen the positive effects it has in the lives of many people including myself. The Bible itself say's that the true religion would be recognizable by the fruitage it produces. Matthew the 7th chapter really explains it best.

Answer 7

My religion is the best for "me". It may not be for others, I believe we have to choose our own spiritual journey.

Answer 8

Truth is exclusive by nature, and thus any belief system is ultimately exclusive (those that claim they are not exclude and are intolerant of those that claim they are). All Gods cannot be equal, and thus one must be supreme over the others if they disagree (Is. 46:9).
While most religions have some good moral commonalities, they critically differ as to moral motive and means of salvation. The Creator is not telling one man to blow himself up to gain Paradise while another meditates on his navel to achieve similar, rather He commands all men to repent (Acts 17:30), turning to faith in Christ who gave himself for our sins and rose again!

Unlike all religions (including Catholicism), the God of the Bible reveals that no man can gain eternal life with Him on the basis of their own merit, as we all sin and come short of His glory (Rm. 3:23), nor can we escape our just punishment in Hell. Instead, as God is infinitely holy and perfectly just, we can only be saved by His sacrificial mercy, on His expense and credit, on Jesus blood and righteousness (Rm. 3:25 - 5:1). For the God of the Bible did indeed and has shown Himself (and insured a record was passed on), and most supremely in the person of His uniquely Divine Son, Jesus Christ.

(1 Pet 2:24) "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."

(1 Pet 3:18) "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:"

Only Jesus lived sinlessly and selflessly all His life, then took responsibility for your sins and mine, and paid for them with His own blood and rose again. Only He is qualified to say,
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6).

"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord" (Acts 3:19).

Answer 9

I don't believe in religion but I do believe in God.

I don't dismiss other people's opinions, I respect them and they are entitled to their opinion.

I believe in God and that's all I need.

Answer 10

Monotheistic faiths are OK, but not Christianity however since it doctrines of a 3-part God can never be viewed as monotheistic.
