Which is the true religion? Why?

[Lliam]

All of them and none of them. Religion is a human creation. It's a way of organizing societies and explaining unexplainable things.

From the dawn of time, people attributed natural phenomena to supernatural beings. They also wanted to believe that there was life after death. People all over the world invented lots of gods. But rarely did they kill each other over belief in one god or another.

The ancient Hebrews created the greatest evil in history by claiming that their god was the only "true" god and that they were "his" chosen people.
Since then, people have been killing each other over different interpretations of the book that was compiled by Talmudic rabbis between 333–164 bc.

we can test predictions. book daniel said messiah will die at a certain time. it came true so that prophecy and religion are the true ones. in contrast to those who say jesus was messiah but didn't die.

[slatyb]

That's not a fact. It's something someone wrote many years after it supposedly happened. In the first century C. E. there are no records of Jesus life.

[swettannie]

None, because all of them are just tales based on myth and lies used to control peoples

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah! That, too!!

[strateguy632]

so lame! you say religion is lie , and religion says atheism is lie. you can't even support your claim that it is "only myth" or a lie.

[slatyb]

@strateguy632 the burden of proof is on those making the claims. Athens is not a claim, it's just a lack of belief in other's claims.

[FunkyMonkee]

@strateguy632 Yeah, because it is! That means YOU'RE the lame one, here! You ACTUALLY BELIEVE all that bullshit!! Hey, ya wanna buy a bridge in Brooklyn?
Yeah? Where's YOUR proof that god exists? We've been asking for your proof for hundreds of years and you STILL can't show any!!

That's like asking which is the true language, kiddo.

Some people are born in a country, just learn to talk, and can say and do nothing meaningful their whole lives. Religion weeds out such people, and it's why you'll only find certain people able to do things, with faith.

Not every follower is someone religious, and some people can talk about religions while knowing little about it. Those tend to be "atheists" mainly.

[slatyb]

In the US, atheists tend to know MORE about religion than most believers. That's why they are atheists.

[slatyb]

This has come out in multiple surveys.

[JacobJordan]

none of them. religion was invented as a way to control the masses and it worked so well they turned it into a system to make billions of dollars that is untaxed and to continue controlling the populace of simpletons so they would not get in the way of those who see themselves are the owners of the world

[genericname85]

i would say every religion who makes claims about things that are not known or can't be known are untrue. that basically removes all the theistic ones from the picture. buddhism and taoism are mostly "opinions" about how to lead a good life. opinions are not necessarily true or false so that kategory doesn't apply and they are also not true.

so I don't know. i would say religion is by default not true.

[slatyb]

All are equally true. They day I learned there were many religions in the world, and their followers were all sure theirs was the one true religion was the day I realized that all my doubts about Christianity were true and I became an atheist.

[strateguy632]

what about those who SWITCH not just whatever parents said.

[slatyb]

@strateguy632 What about them? It's a loss easier to switch from one religion to another than to leave religion behind. But many more believes are leaving than non-believes converting.

[Whitewolfye]

Islam, because Monotheism in its truest sense as Islam gives it to you is something you inherently possess since all humans were created with an innate predisposition towards Monotheism (such as we call out God in distress) and goodness (recognising it from evil). Even children know lying is bad. Similarly, compare the different religions, and only Islam is truly monotheistic.

[FunkyMonkee]

Just living your life as you see fit and not hurting others in the process. No religion needed!

[strateguy632]

but does your phrase no "hurting others" include infant circumcision or not hurting a human fetus?

[FunkyMonkee]

@strateguy632 Circumcision is a RELIGIOUS THING!! That puts it back in your court!
What's better than abortion, having the kid and forcing them to live a shitty life because you can't afford to take better care of them? Having a kid that you already know is gonna be severely crippled and forcing it to live a very shitty life? How about, knowing that if you have this kid, you could actually die because of it? Can't kill the baby but fuck the mother! Who needs her around anymore? I used to have a guitarist in my band whose family is uber-religious! One of those types that feels it's against god to use birth control and, even though most of the kids they created were retarded, died at birth or were severely handicapped, they weren't gonna stop making new cripples because god told them to keep doing it!! There's about 8 or 9 kids in that family and, from what I've seen, only 3 of them are normal!!

[sawno]

Why do you assume any have it right and the purpose isn't to be incorrect to force you to make your own mind up?

[AngryCarl2]

Methodism of course. Just ask any Methodist.

[Hungryghostwriter]

This is like asking which is the correct race

[strateguy632]

no way! faith can be false or true.

[MaxUsefull]

Catholic and ancient Judaism. And explain why it’s not a easy task in a few words

[Asker]

Catholic? so u think God is a man?

[MaxUsefull]

God became man for our salvation but did not stop being God

[HaveNoName]

... according to Paulianity

[HaveNoName]

God is so cruel that he created sinful human beings so that he could kill one human being to wash away the problem he created in all others. And God created such a difficult and confusing religion, where they themselves cannot define Trinity in a logical way. And what a God. He was dependent on food, passed urine, passed poop, even farted, and could not save his dignity from being hung naked on a cross.

[NathanDavis]

I like those jeans...

[Al_Musafir]

I'm convinced that Islam is.

[strateguy632]

why?

[Al_Musafir]

@strateguy632 message of all the prophets (peace be upon them all) is included and the concept of God seems the most logical.

[OfDeath]

According to the Simpsons it is Mormonism.
