My religion is better than yours???

You know, the older I get the more I realise that the more someone claims exclusivity to God, the more I realise they are no where near God. It's like mankind has dicovered the talent to make what should be Godly and God into something quite UnGodly.

I think no religion is better than the other. No religion can save anybody. Im a roman catholic and happy being one.

" My father in heaven can beat your father in heaven," Who cares. Religion is such a personal choice.And as long as your path is right for you , that's what counts.

it all lies with which God you worship not all religions worship the same God !for instance the God of christians has a son Jesus !whilst the God of muslims Allah has no sons so they caNNOT BE ONE AND THE SAME GOD! also my God tells me tp love my enemies whilst allah says to kill theirs

Yeah. I know the kind. And I am not impressed. You know, I think ALL religions may have a piece of the puzzle, but not the whole truth. So it's really important to learn about all people and all beliefs, as much as possible, so that we can try to put together what we can and find truth? No one way is totally correct, I believe. Maybe God put little pieces here and there to try to force us to get along and teach each other the parts we know, so later on the ones that keep an open mind will go to learn more. The REAL hell, I think, is ignorance. The real heaven, if you want to call it that, is education and caring/open-mindedness and explorative thought!

My best friend and I have a tendency to discuss this a lot. We're both Christian, but we both are open-minded enough to realize that not everyone believes the same things. Some people are raised to believe other things. People are willing to accept peoples accents or where a person is from, they're willing to accept their interests and hobbies, so why not accept their beliefs? It's not fair to judge people on what they believe when sometimes we're blind sighted and only focus on what we believe, anyways. Whenever everyone takes the time to actually get to know what other beliefs are out there and what everyone sees as right, then maybe people could start saying something. But very, VERY few people in the world take the time to do that. The way I see it, if you want the right to say one religion is right or wrong, you'd need to experience each and every religion, and that's not going to happen. The world would be a bit of a better place if people would stop with the "holier than thou" attitudes about their religions.

Religion can't save a person.Dating back to the olden days, wars were triggered because of Religion. Actually, religion has little ties with culture, so it doesn't really mean that it's purely God's footsteps that we follow for their are people who has their own interpretations of the bible. Well,it my absurd to think, but there are also religios leader who brainwash people's mind, rule them , and even milking people. So, I hope, we should be logical enough and use our brain sometimes to weigh things. Moreover, in some people's mind, they got scared of commiting sins because there's a heaven and hell. Or any way, they are afraid of God. My dears, the essence of being good is not because we are scared of God or scared of heaven and hell. Being good should be a part of being us. For me, doin good things makes me happy. And I can say "it's fun to be good!'.

I love your post it gave me a chuckle. I sincerely mean that. However if hell is what they say it is I don't think there is any posibility of making it a better place. About the religion thing and all the different faiths; when I was younger I use to think the same thing. Why not, why can't there be different beliefs on who God is or how to get to him or whatever the case may be. Then one day it dawned on me if I were the creator of this universe and I set everything in motion then wouldn't I want to be acknowledge for who I am. I thought this way because one day I realized everyone on this planet likes to be thought of and except for who they truly are and not how someone preceives them and no one likes it when people try to fit them into some kind of mold. So I thought God must be the same way. So what ever he says goes. I think the important thing is to find out who God is and the only way to do that is to ask him ourselves and let HIM lead us into HIS truth.

I do not think that the topic is going to solve anything. For thousands of years, people have gone to their deaths in the name of their religion and now, people are going to their deaths because of their religions and even after we are all long gone, people will go to their deaths because of religion. All I have to conclude with is this: Jesus Christ said that many will die in His name, and so be it. It will be my honor and my duty to die for my Lord and Savior should it come down to it.

Oh yeah I have surely heard this BS around many a times. I was seeing a show which was talking about the movie., " The Blood Diamond" and the actor, Leonardo, says this " looking at all this makes me feel that god has left this place long back" I firmly believe that he is right and There is no god. I do not believe in religion and have had a lot of harsh talking with friends who believe in god and cannot find solace in the fact that I do not believe in one. No religion is great. The only religion that is great is HUMANISM. Follow it if you can. bourne

I think people are becoming paranoid. I would hope that if there is a God that he isn't shallow. What a lame situation.

Im Roman Catholic and i loved being Catholic. =)

No matter what religion you are under, whatever you call your God, there is only one God for all. Buddhists call him Buddha, Muslims call him Allah, Christians call him God. All of them points to one thing. No religion is better than the other. Religion is there to guide us and lead us the right path. I don't think God will make people just to let the fight because of Him. Pathetic. And the people who makes religion a reason for killing someone else is the embodiment of Satan, no matter if he's a Muslim, Christian, Jew or whatever. Pathetic freaks. And yeah, I don't think there is a hell. Remember, all religions say that God loves us. Do you think God will not do anything to save us from hell? I just want to remind everybody about the Prodigal Son. No matter how sinful you are, God will always love you. No matter how evil you are, there is always something good in you. No matter who you are, God will accept you. All in all, there is no such thing as one right or true or best religion. All the religions here are just a physical way to communicate and see God, in our own little way. After you die, God will not ask you "What religion are you from?". Instead, I feel like he will say something like "Welcome home my child". God bless you all.

I couldn't agree more with you. Actually I can tell you many reasons why each and every single religion has mistakes the point is that we should live ethically and god (if there is one) will judge us for that.

I've experience that too.Two particular Chinese born again Christians were contradicting my beliefs/faith.They said,"You shouldn't worship Mary" when they knew that Catholics pray the Hail Mary and they also said that the practices/beliefs/traditions of Catholics are wrong and they are trying to "make me realize that what we Catholics do is wrong.I really find them annoying.Why can't they respect that there are other religions who have many different practices/beliefs/traditions.I really would like to say that in their faces and I'd also like to say the words that you've quoted in this discussion.

I agree with you whole heartedly!!! About time this topic was broached!!! I too am a Christian (of the United faith), however, that title does not mean that I follow any one teaching to a fault. I believe in many different things, from many different religions. In the end the thing that people need to realize here is that the only thing that matters in this world, is not what others do, or whom they worship, but what matters for each person is their individual relationship with their perception of their Creator, be it God, Jesus, Jehovah, or the Deities of the Greek religion...whomever...If you treat people the way that you wish to be treated, if you are with a kind heart even when it seems to suck the life out of you, and you have some kind of a belief, then you have no worries, and who cares what the neighbour is doing, right?

"I don't think God judges people only by their faith/religion/believe" Exactly, We share The same View, I Have started a Discussion about That, "A Falsity in Your belief, Beware of it", It is Not true That God Only by their Faith, Because There is Both Sinners and righteous Among Followers Of Every Single religion.

i think its not my religion is better than yours??? but, instead, myself is better than yours??? my point is, its not the matter of what religion u r, but its yourself...or myself...ourself...

Religion is nothing but a some rules which is to bind same group of people , to dont do any thing wrong. Nothing is good and nothing is bad , it is respective thing which depeends person to person , and people to people.

I totally understand your point. I left many forums and such just because of all that. To many people relying on what they are taught. Instead of studying it out for themselves. Religion can be one of the nastiest things on the planet. (My Opinion) I love have the relationship with Jesus. From what He tells me. He loves us, while yet we were sinners. People trying to tell us what to do and what not to do just makes us want to the opposite. To much arguing instead of answering questions. Just my 2 cents. lol
