Why Different Religion?

I'm sorry, but I disagree. Everybody on this Earth should have the right to have their own, personal beliefs... beliefs which are right for them. There should be no preaching, no enrolling... we should all be free to choose. On the contrary, if there were only one religion, people would use something else as an excuse for fighting. As it is, there are a lot of country leaders who hide behind religions as an excuse to create war at the moment. If we all followed our own beliefs and were allowed to do so, we would all be happy and live in harmony.

If there were only one religion in the world, there would be fights among people of that religion about how to interpret it's holy scriptures and exactly which way is best to follow that one religion. I've never known any two people of the same religion who follow it in exactly the same way. Sometimes they fight, and other times they agree to disagree. What I think would be better is if we could all just agree to disagree in the first place. I'll follow my religion, everyone else can follow theirs, and we'll all by happy.

Religion has evolved over hundreds of years to meet the changing needs of evolving mankind and is influenced by culture, location, need, confusion, etc (in my opinion). I also think that political leaders ARE trying (still, after centuries) to mandate "one world religion", which I totally disagree with. I would ask, what if there were NO religion? It's a pleasant thought, for me anyway.

Personally I hate to have religions. Even though Religion was initially created to have some peace and harmony among the people, I believe its no more the truth in the current scenario. Also, everyone will have their right to choose the religion they would like to follow and no one should be preaching or forcing one to follow the religion they follow. Every religion will try to say only its positive points and no religion will say its negative points though. So its upto the people to choose the right one for them.

First, the origin of religion is strong belief in supernatural powers that control human destiny and determine humankind's relationship with the universe. The formative period of religions has depened on the society of culture, custom and natural environments. Because of these diversities, it's natural that there exist several forms of religions such as polytheism(or pantheism) and monotheism. Second, It's true that there might be many interpretations and arguments among religions or even within one religion according to their own doctrines. But except for a false religion, every religion in the world has never taugh the faithful to act contrary to peace, rightiousness and harmony. Only extreme religious leaders and temporizers make troubles unreasonably only in the name of religion. We should watch closely in order to separate hypocrite from the truly religious and stop any kind of conflict. And a tendency to simplify several kinds of religions might trigger a monolithic society. Even though extremists' voice is louder, we have not to lose the rationality religion gave us. Also we should recover the basic spirits, tolerance and perseverance, in religion.

We have so many religions, and beliefs and one thing for sure that even a religion could not save you. It's not good to hear people arguing about religions , about God. Why don;t we just spread the good news and the words of God not to fight.

well my religion teacher told me a nice story witch is similar to why there are so many religions, to strory goes like this: Once a man called 6 blind people to touch an elefant and to say what an elefant is, after they touched it , the man asked them what an elefant is, they all answered different , one said that an elefant is a rock, one said that an elefant is a wall and so on :),

May be different religion is the result of different resourses available to human being in different countries. People might have used the resourses as they thought right to survive and this resulted in different ways of interacting and believing. That may have resulted in different costumes, beliefs, traditions etc. Somewhere, something must have started. That is why today there are many different religions, costumes, languages etc but everything goes well balanced to the resources. Even if there was only one religion, people will find some other good reason to fight. That's human tendency. Hope there is peace everywhere and no war.

different religions because of different costumes and faith
