Yes I think so. There are plenty of religions out there, and I there is value in at least checking some of them out before settling on the one that is right for you. Also many religions advocate violence and intolerence and that is one of the major problems with the world today, and will probably just get worse.
Or maybe we just need to develop a new religion?

Your Savior Yahshua said ..........
Mat 7:13 ¶ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Mat 7:14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Mat 7:15 ¶ Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
This is definitely not describing Christianity as the narrow gate.
Christians leads the list of followers, man that is some WIDE GATE you are entering into.
I'd have lots of question if I where you dude.

I'm not completely sure about that. I don't think that there is a definitive answer to that question. The only way that people will be able to respond to your question is through personal experience or opinion, but not factual evidence.
However, faith is believing and hoping in something that you cannot hear, touch or see. That is an extremely hard, yet so simple, concept. People since the beginning of time have always tried to find a higher being to worship. Someone to hear their trials and tribulations. Why has mankind always felt compelled to do this? I think for some it is instinctual to look beyond themselves.
What if God had intended for people to find Him in different ways from the beginning? I don't know. I think most people do not stray too far from how they were raised to believe or not believe.

Yes, i think you should be open to other religions and try to incorporate some aspects of all religions into your life. Personally, i don't believe there is one right religion, but i also dont' believe there are any wrong religions either. The underlying message of every religion is to be a good person and try to reach a palce where you are at peace within yourself.

Are you asking: do you think I should believe in another religion besides Christianity? First, Christianity is not a religion it is a relationship. Secondly, I would not go after any religion becuase it is not the true word of God. The writings of the Prophets of God prophesied the coming of Jesus Christ.
Christianty is based upon Grace. God saved us through faith in his Son Jesus Christ. We are justified by faith, and the evidence of our faith is loving God and loving others.
Islam, the second largest religion in the world, is based upon the Law. Muslims are saved through good works. They are judged upon their good deeds. The Islamic faith changes the Tanakh or Old Testament to suit its belief. Christianity doesn't change anything about the Judaic scriptures.

religions are how we choose to worship our God or Gods. Spirtuality is how we relate and feel about our Diety.
You should do what feels right and good. I believe we all have a bit of truth in all we believe and that when we get to Heaven we will find the truth.

Basically we all should believe in whats the truth .....And what is best for mankind and we can do this by following the religion with heart and be strict on the laws of a religiion....Religion teaches respect for others , yourself and mostly respect for god... Follow a religion which describes world in it .. Like science and health factors .... What happens when you eat this .. and what.. In a religion things are prohibited and they dont describe y.. And when we find out for ourselves it shocks us....Like its for our own good....But today instead of god people like to worship their desires.. we are all sinners...And their is only one religion which has these factors ...Y should i tell you find out yourself.....Today people follow satan the most... If you love ur religion, you would never do what the prophets have taught u... And you would never do the things which are wrong....Coz prophets never show u the wrong path but to get closer to god......... And there is no religion without boundries....

Other religions exist because people can not agree on one set of teachings. Yes, I think other religions should exist. That doesn't mean I have to follow all of them. That doesn't mean everyone has to follow mine.

No, you don't have to believe in other religions but yours only. HOWEVER, don't bash on them since they have many truths as well as yours. Remember that other religions are others' identities that they would die for. That's all what you need to think.

We should believe in the teachings of the Apostles. They were taught by Jesus and told to preach to all the world. Those are the teachings of Christ on which Christianity is built.
