Religion........?

[Aggie65]

wether is Christianity,Islam,Judaism,Taoism,Buddhism,Athiest etc etc. why do we as people think our religion is better than someone elses? Are we that conceitied or are we just blind to see that there is no true answer out there of exisitance of a higher being. I do believe in this higher being and im aware of his presence. But why is religion becoming a topic that people around the world are fighting and killing themselves over. Will society ever accept all religions? Will religion eventually be erased from society? Will this higher being show his or her face on this Earth?
to all the taoists. i did not mean to suggest your religion judges anyone. i did not mean that any religion judges anyone im saying as society. not as one particular religion/
im not saying that my belifs are better than anyone elses. i was just saying that im not athiest if anyone thought that. yes im a catholic. but that has nothing to do with this question. all im asking is that will society as a whole ever accept all religions
and theres nothing wrong with being an athiest. im trying to make this question as UN-BIASED as possible. the purpose of this question was not to put one religion on the spot. but to see what other people think about society today and how religion plays a big part.

To answer those last 3 questions, no, no, and probably not.

I personally don't believe my religion to be superior to others (by not ONE path could we arrive at such a tremendous secret).

probably not. But maybe by then we'll have all killed ourselves with weapons of mass destruction.

As a Christian I believe we have the answer..we have the cure for the disease, and that there is only one cure. I can't be supportive of someone elses cure if I believe ours is the only one that is real

Religon is destructive.

Please take the Tao out of your reference,they judge no one and kill no one and ask no one to believe anything they do not wish to believe.

Everyone with an opinion can reasonably expect that their opinion is correct - nothing strange about that. The problem is when people believe that mere opinion is substantiated fact. Personally, I have no problem with religious diversity, or with religious people who believe that their opinions are right.
You yourself, for example, have an opinion that you stated in your question, and you assume that your opinion is more valid than the differing opinions.

Answer is pretty simple- man made religion- so it has weaknesses- pride, false beliefs, inconsistencies and the likes.

This is why all we need is a relationship with Jesus Christ!

I understand what you're asking. It's wrong to act better than someone else because of religion (or anything else, for that matter! race, age, etc.)

However, if you check out the Bible (I'm Catholic too), it says that Jesus really is the only way to God. "No one goes to the Father except through me." "I am the way, the truth, and the life." So as a Catholic, that's what I believe.

So, I really do believe that my faith in Jesus is the only way that I can be saved, and I want everyone else to have that personal relationship too. However, that does not make me better than anyone else, and I should not force my beliefs on anyone. I should love everyone no matter what religion, or lack of it. And I should not act like my beliefs are better than anyone else's.

Hope I explained my views clearly.
