No attack , just a welcome. When put in a debate section of the forum, any view will no doubt be challenged.

Who is attacking you? Why do you feel you're being attacked? I actually welcomed you.
It would really be helpful if you used the quote feature so we understand who you're talking to.
It is unclear to whom you are directing your question. Since multiple folks may post on a thread about the same time, there is no assurance that your post without a quote will be adjacent to the post you are commenting on or referring to. There is a convenient reply button in the lower right hand corner of every post that allows you to quickly quote the post you are responding to and start the editor for your reply post. There are other ways to quote and quote multiple post, which I'm sure you'll figure out in time. Enjoy!

Not attacking you, just questioning your ideas.
The presumption here is that those discussing serious issues -- like religion, science, politics, &c. -- in a debate forum, are interested in the objective truth of their ideas, and are seeking criticism and feedback from peers.
.This is how scientists and intellectuals explore issues of interest, by helping each other find and correct flaws.
This is why I mentioned being prepared to explain your reasoning.
The more I become familiar with the multifarious religions, the less consensus I find.
Problem: Each different religion or religious paradigm claim to be the ultimate religion.
I disagree. Each religion defines a paradigm seperate from others in one way or another,
I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with. Defining a paradigm separate from others isn't the same as claiming to be the ultimate religion.
IT is if you are claiming a subjective paradigm outside the simple objective reality of our physical existence.
The concept of what would be an ultimate religion is any claim of belief without objective evidence. Defining a subjective paradigm outside of what may be verified by objective evidence does just that.
If you make no claims at all you need to justify this.

A religion that accepts that other religions are a valid means of realization of divinity/connection with God makes no claim to be an ultimate religion, thereby making your claim that each religion claims to be the ultimate religion false.

Thank you for the tip. It's my first time on this forum, and I didn't know about quotes. People are questioning my approach, but I only provided a link to my website. Strange.
You also claimed your religion to be the ultimate religion. I think this is primarily what was being questioned.
I certainly understand your confusion. Had you posted your self-introduction in the "Are you new to ReligiousForums.com?" sub-forum and and referenced your link as an introduction to your religious perspective things might have gone more smoothly. Having placed your thread in a debate sub-forum with the name of your belief system as the title to the thread, it is perceived as an explicit invitation to evaluate and comment on those beliefs.
You can always ask a moderator to move this thread to the welcome thread.
Regards.
No I do not make that claim. My foundation belief is universalism, which makes no such claim.
That post was directed at another member, not you.

Even if true, that does not constitute a claim to be the "ultimate" religion.

Hello. I'll just second the suggestion of asking staff to move this hello thread to the newbies sub-forum.Hello, interesting forum, I'm new here. Maybe to start, I'll send a link to my religion.
If you post in a debate sub forum such as this (rather than a discussion sub forum) it is best to wear a flak jacket.
