God saved the best religion for last and that is Islam. Islam predicted exactly what would happen and how the Christians and Jews would double cross others with their own worldly gains by extremist ideas which are now known as Western extremism and Zionism. Fake Muslims would follow Wahabbism which is also twisted but this goes based more on government ideology. I want people to understand the Quran states to care for others, Jesus is mentioned more in the Quran then prophet Muhammad (PBUH), there is an entire chapter dedicated to Mary (Maryam) Jesus' mother in the Quran, the Bible does mention Prophet Muhammad but for some reason Christians excuse those passages as if it doesn't exist.
God says in the Quran, as long as you believe in God and you are a good person you will go to heaven. But even someone claims to be religious regardless, Jew, Christian or Muslim or whomever and they lie, cheat, steal or oppress others then they will taste their punishment on the day of judgement. When I say Islam is the true religion, show me another religion that fasts for 30 days out of the month every year as long as 16 hours. Does prayers 5 times a day.
A religion that does not allow certain drinks or foods like pork or alcohol which God forbidden. People view Muslim countries as "oppressive" well religion was meant to be followed correctly not "altered". Of course there have been dictators or people who claim to be religious but are not. Iran is the perfect example, the United States has been on their ass for over 40 years when the Islamic Revolution started in 1979 by Ayatollah Khomeni and his movement was to liberate a country under a Western-backed stooge as the Shah of the time. Even under severe sanctions go on YouTube and check tourist videos of well-known YouTubers like Mark Weins visiting Iran and the history, delicious food, culture and beauty of that country and often they will say "I didn't know Iran was like this".
Why because the western media puts garbage out there and a lot of Western people and I am pinpointing the people even on this GAG website believe it without doing their own research. Ayatollah Khomenei's movement was to push for the return of the 12th imam 'Imam Mahdi' and that's why the US wants to destroy Iran and make them to be another Iraq or Palestine or Syria. But Iran has flourished in the last 40 years with technology, nuclear capabilities, education and etc. Over 80% of women in Iran at literate yet people view this beautiful Islamic country as a monkey land? Do people know Iran is a Shia based country that has the second largest Jewish population and many Jewish people feel at home in Iran because they are not persecuted and harassed.
The way Zionist Israel tortures and kills Palestinians especially Palestinian kids. Islam believes in a day of judgment, Islam believes in the coming of Christ, Islam believes in many things that are similar to Judaism or Christianity but the media has done everything they can to distort Islam but yet Islam is the fastest growing religion today. The Quran has so much information that people don't seem to care about -- how to treat others, how wealth should be distributed, how animals should be treated nicely, how women should be treated fairly and respectfully. If you look throughout time all the prophets and Imams of our time have been where? In the Middle-East, and what is the Middle-East considered? Muslim lands. Here is a Jewish professor saying that all the prophets including Jesus is indeed Muslim.
All religious people are atheists in respect to MOST Gods, but when you don't believe in theirs they find it suspect. If they can understand why they reject Zeus then they should be able to see why we reject Yahweh, but they can't even conceptualize living outside their own boxed in ego
"i respect your right to a different opinion and religion than mine" but in the end they all believe that their religion and their god is the ONLY right one. -
There is no contradiction first of all I believe that Christianity is the only real religion but other people because of our country have the right to disagree with me.
"I may not agree with what you say but I'll defend your right to say it".
There is no hypocrisy in believing someone is wrong but not forcing them to accept your belief.

If you're looking for reasons why I'm Christian that would take too long to write out in a single post.

Many people in this world have the religion of their parents drilled into them from the time they were children. They never question whether their religion is true or false.
As for me, I was brought up Christian, as my parents drilled it into me, but I became disillusioned with it, and was an agnostic for several years, I looked at several other religions (including Wicca), but they all seemed to be lacking in one thing or another. I eventually decide Christianity was the correct religion, based on their generosity to others who weren’t Christian, and that Jesus said, “I am the truth, the light, and the life everlasting. No one comes to God the Father, except through me.” It indicates to me that Jesus was not just some prophet.
It’s true, some denominations are corrupted with pagan protocol and mysticism, and some Christians have used their religion to conquer and exploit others, but they have kind of strayed from the true path. Look at how the Catholic Church has tried for decades to hide pedophile priests and bury the issue in their own protocols, rather than come clean on the whole thing. The slime of the pedophiles rubs off on the Catholic Church, making THEM slimy.
I respect others who have a different religion, although I personally think their religion is wrong.
Christianity is a spirituality and not a religion. Religions are works based. It deals with what you can do and you taking self credit. Spirituality is based on what others can do through you for your benefits. In the case of Christianity, it is a spirituality. It is based on the work that the Holy Ghost can do through you and it is more spiritually success to be Holy Ghost filled than to be demon possessed, which unbelief is one of the way you can get demon possessed.
Atheism is a religion because it makes a decision concerning God, life, the universe, ethics or morals. It doesn't matter whether in the positive or the negative.
It is funny how they claim it isn't. Make sure you make it not by shutting your mouth reporting your stance of God's existence or non existence, hushing on your views about origins of life, hushing on moral situations. By comparing how secular morals are in comparison to religious or spiritual morals, you are holding a religious view.
Lets suppose hypothetically that people can be stricken with atheistic minds. In case you didn't know, there is incredible research that 'atheists' are more religious than Christians. Probably 85% of 'atheists' are more religious than all Christians. France is the most secular country. So at least you make your country proud as they aren't ashamed of it and like people like them.

Dear FrenchyRomain,
In every religion, and in every sect, you will find people warning you not read about other religions because it will mislead you, and bla bla bla, However, God created us as smart creations, and gifted us with minds, which enable us to judge things and compare it.
Before you accuse me of being biased to my religion, Just tell me, have you ever seen a religious book asks you to think carefully? to ponder and use your mind?
Most of them ask you to believe in unbelievable things, just submit to it without using your mind.
As for me, though I was sure about my religion, I search in the other religions and read about it from thier sources, not from people who misguide others.
My advice to anyone who sincerely looks for the truth, to compare the source, and does not depend on what your people tell you (because they always tell wrong things which they are not aware of its truth ).
God says "Do they not ponder on the Qur'an (with care)? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy. (82)
Regards,
It really comes down to lack of self-awareness and lack of humility.
Many people don't get how others also have their own reasoning and have made their own analysis of the situation. How does a person decide if their point of view is the correct one? You can't just say that--that only means you believe you know better than others. And this is a sign of delusion!
Which religion is right? In my opinion, I don’t even know. I can easily say "there's no god" or "there's only one god" but ultimately, I have no way to prove myself right. It sounds more logical to say that gods don't exist, but even that statement can be wrong.
So when someone asks me "do you believe in god" I can't answer, I just say I have no idea lol.
Same as how people don’t want to learn about any politics other than what they believe and silence anyone who tries to educate them on their political stance. It’s the whole “I’m right, your wrong” thing and a lot of pride and they don’t want to admit they are wrong. Also fear, a lot of religious people are raised in that religion and it’s put onto them “if you don’t believe it or question it you go to hell” or whatever else bad afterlife they believe in. it’s basically being raised from a very young age fear
That's something i never understood... In my opinion it's more a form of hypocrisy... You say love all people, respect all people... But people of other beliefs are lost or naive to not follow the true and only faith... I did studied some theology, and all the arguments each religion brings if them being the true one... Are the exact same ones every other religion does... And not all religions do that... Its very proeminent in Christianity and Islamic religions... Buddhism doesn't claim that... Neither does paganism... I am pagan, we believe divinity has many names... And people based in their culture find different ways to prise it... (and they are not that different after all... A surprising amount similarities in Christian rituals and pagan rituals)... The rule i live by is speak no untruth, do no harm and treat all with respect, besides that, do according to your will...
I'll ask you this question: why would someone not be convinced their own religion is the true religion? Usually people believe in a religion because they believe it will lead them to heaven/God. If someone weren't convinced of their own religion then they don't really believe in it do they? I don't think I am a hypocrite for respecting others beliefs, opinions and traditions, because that is just the normal way to treat others. But if I do have the chance of telling others of my belief that Jesus died for me then I will do that. And of course I think that my religion is the only right one, because otherwise I wouldn't truly believe in it.
I think it's a little bit of narrow minded entitlement, different religions are more or less mellow about pushing their agenda. Take islamic terrorism for example, they terrorise people into falling for their religion as a second glove motive for their philosphy of intended death being the passage to their god.
Religion is also somewhat similar to a family, people want to belong. So when a different religious belief does not belong into the narrative of their religion, then there is a conflict of different religious beliefs and so alterations are made to a hypothetical god whenever mild or major, resulting in countless acclaimed one true religions.
The answer is simple:
When you are born, raised and / or always surrounded by people that believe a certain thing and / or act a certain way, there's always a higher chance you will be the same as them and / or similar. You believe the one you are born in to is true because you trust the people that taught it to you more than someone from a different religion / culture.
This is also the effect of indoctrination, if you're raised and / or taught to believe something and also taught to just accept it without criticism as well as (in certain religions) the use of fear (of the consequences of not believing and / criticism of said religion) especially from childhood, it's only natural that you will think that yours must be the correct religion and others are false, not only are you convinced, you're also fearful that if you waver from it even a little, you could be in big trouble after you die.
I am not religious to begin with.
But for those who are, some believe in religious pluralism.
You can see common facts in different religions especially the abrahamic ones which reinforces the belief that there is some truth to it all.
But it is absurd to think that only you possess the absolute truth, there is no absolute truth.
Religion is a plague on society. People think the bible or scriptures are accurate representations of history when it's obvious they were written by normal humans to control the masses. Maybe the initial reason make the religions was good because order was needed in a time of chaos, but we'll never know for sure. Religion literally teaches you to not think rationally. If you were raised by buddhists, there's a good chance you would be buddhist. If you were raised Christian, there's a good chance you will remain Christian. If you're raised Muslim, most likely you'll believe in the Qaran (or however you spell it, I don't care). Do people not see the obvious truth in front of them that humans tend to desire to believe in something greater in times of hardship? Humanity's stupidity knows no bounds.
Well, Christianity, Islam and Judaism are closely interlinked - all believe in the same God, but believe differently about the Messiah
Jews believe Jesus was a prophet
Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet
and Christians believe Jesus was the Messiah and Mohammed was a prophet
Therefore these three are very closely interlinked and stem from the same belief
Religions which don't stem from this belief, are respected because it is the right thing to do. Religion is something very personal to a lot of people and by telling people they are wrong, you are destroying a large part of their life.
If there is a God, as long as people are good does it matter who they worship. If there is not a God, if their religion makes them a better person who are we to judge
As a Christian,...
I don't see how you could NOT believe your religion is the ONLY right one.
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."
Matthew 12:30
"He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters."
Luke 12:51- 53
“Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division; 52 for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three. 53“They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
Yet it says, "whosoever" in John 3:16, so it's available to "whosoever believes" in Jesus.
Still I don't think Jesus would have a "Coexist" bumper sticker.
If you would look back to history you would see the dots connect. Christianity came from Jewish religion in old testament or jewish tora they waited for messiah and the messiah was Jesus which jews didn't recognized or rejected him. So from that came christianity. Islam came much more later before christianity which you can see its copy of the bible and they believe many similar things and believe in Jesus but as prophet. All this many christian churches came because catholics splite between orthodox and later like Lutherans came from Luther because he save that church started going wrong ways after that there was Baptists who focused on baptism that is really important so all this other cults came from each other till this day.
Logically it is impossible that all religions are right since they are all inconsistent with each other. Christianity is one of two choices God or the world. Religions sell the lie that there are more than two choices. Christianity is the antithesis to world religions because every world religion works on the principle of what works you must do to appease god (some make the universe, nature, or what they worship). Where in Christianity, there is nothing you did or could ever do to appease God, by accepting Jesus (who died on our part) and repenting we are clean. So in short Christianity tells us what God did for us, whereas world religions say what you must do for god. In this manner Atheism is a religion, because zero is a number. They say that you appease god by not appeasing god, they remove god from the equation as an answer to the question.
There's oy one way to the Father and that's through the Son.. The Truth, the Light and the way... ok don't like that answer then answer me this.. why is Jesus Christ and Christians so. persecuted and hated? Because we're following the right path and there's rules and people don't like rilules they like to do it their way.. and that's why the Christian religions the way to salvation. So bring on the gate I'll field any comments you dare to ask.. maybe I can lead you to the greatest source of love there is
I think it has to do with your upbringing, when you're raised with certain views and principals (of your community) are implanted in your mind so it becomes the norms the right, the absolute truth to you, of course ones you grow up you may start to question it and even not be satisfied/rebel against it (but that's another story).
No one religion is correct you actually can't put spirituality in words but all religions point to true spirituality short of this understanding is failure to grasp the whole picture because of fear or ignorance, don't hate them evolution is inevitable.
It's simple these things are drilled into our heads since birth and we grow up believing in their absolution. By the time we're old enough to make up our own minds most of us are already way too indoctrinated and simply can't imagine a world without the stability brought by religion.
It does help that certain communities are built around religion and to fit in you need to pray to the same God they do otherwise you'll be rejected.
i think a good number of religions jewish/christian/islam type religions usually push the notion that their religion is the only real one and their god is "jealous" of fake gods.
I would be willing to bet that their god actually isn't terribly concerned about it, but it is a good way for unscrupulous religious leaders to control all the sheeple under their steeple (so to speak).
