My religion

Name: Anonymous 2007-09-29 12:31 ID:Ff5ZopZ2

For anyone wondering what religion I believe in, I believe that most of the major religions are true, some having more truth than others and that they are all compatible with each other. I believe in the Abrahamic religions; Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. I also believe some of the religions of India and East Asia are true. I believe only one God who I pray to and submit myself to everyday. I believe that the Holy Ghost, Dharma (धर्म), and Tao (道) all represent the same thing which is the path of righteousness.

Some religions however have evil teachings such as Satanism, Wicca, Juggalo, and others. They teach materialism and hedonism, they approve of lust and greed, and they allow you to do whatever you want without any accountibility or fear of punishment. Even though I said I believe most of the religions of the world have good teachings, most of their followers do not follow their teachings and only pretend to.

In other words, you look at all the good each different religion has to offer and try hard to only look at that.

Unfortunately overlooking the flaws means you aren't really being realistic or logical about it. Many religions claim that with no exceptions whatsoever, theirs is the correct one, and that their interpretation is absolutely correct. And, failing that they say "our god is a mystery, so it doesn't matter if we get it wrong sometimes, he backs us anyways."

Everyone misses out on the real way to look at it. It seems you are doing the same thing too, being blind to some aspects of it because it's [i]easier[i/] to do so.

Taking the easy route is rarely the correct one. Most religions fail on a basic level because they claim a "god" is either powerful, or loving. Neither of which can be demonstrated today, so they all end up the same, fairy tales that have no actual meaning for us. No one can demand acceptance without being able to prove they are worthy.

So, if you can prove in any way how a "god" has acted for mankind, then do so. Otherwise, I'm sorry. A thinking person cannot just blindly believe what he is told and turn away from common sense.
