Confusion , What To Do ?

[MeeM]

>>>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:World-religions.PNG


Christians are in majority.

Muslims and Hindus also have existence in significant number.

Jews controls the economy mostly and hold key posts.

Buddhists (China and Far East) are capturing the World wide Markets and Production.

Muslims Arabs have OIL.

Other Religions also have followers al over the world.

and then each religion has many sub divisions sects.

How a person can determine in his/her life, which one is the right path to follow, I think the life is not enough to solve this.

Confused , What to do ?

Being a Muslim I was already confused that which Sect is Right, I am a Sunni Muslim but there are many divisions in Sunnis, then there are Shias and they also have disputes on Imamat, then comes other sects of Islam.

But, When I see the broad Canvas, the disputes are on Prophets in Abrahamic Religions.

Then disputes on Gods.

Each Group has tons of Literatures, Logics, History to proof their faith is right and ultimate.

Is there any Single Point on which all can gather ???

OR Just we have to carry on with the Religion and Sect in which we born and do not care about what others do ???

Where the Quest of Truth Leads Us ??? Is there any End to It ? OR It ends with the Death ???

So Much Confused, cant express my Questions in Words, but if any one of you getting my feeling and can understand what I wanted to ask, Please share your opinions.

You're seeing it as if everyone is on different sides, we're not.

 

[Quintessence]

Why do you feel one path has to be right and all the others wrong?

Also, Christians are not the majority, globally. They're only about 33% of the global population, which does not exactly constitute a majority (neither a 51% majority nor a 66% majority). No religion has majority unless you look at a specific region of the world (e.g., in India, Hinduism by far as the majority; in the United States, Christianity, etc.).

I don't know exactly what you are asking, Do you want to know what religion is right or where to invest? How do Jews controlling the economy and Muslims having oil enter in to any religion choice?

My best advice for you is to pray fervently, ask God to show you the way, He has promised to do so, and while you wait for your answers do some research, allow God to open his word to you and be sure he will direct you in the right path.

Most of us don't know, Meem. Some of us have Faith in a God or Gods, but few of us have certitude. And so, scientists, religions, agnostics, atheists, theists and all, mostly, don't know. So join us! That's the one 'thing' that we can share together..... we don't know.

Oh..... and as LadyB suggests:- Pray. Or meditate. Or think. Or peruse. Or consider...... about what to believe, how to think, how to act, how to live.

And (if you are not already) learn how to be content with the will of God, or fate, and how to be happy regardless of your circumstances. Hard..... but try. ??

All the very best to you..........

First of all, Jews do not control the economy anywhere in the world, except for the state of Israel. The idea that Jews are somehow connected with controlling money is a very old anti-Semitic libel. It is not true, and never has been true.

Outside of Israel, there are a proportionally high number of Jews (though still, of course, a small minority overall) working in civil service and related areas in America. But elsewhere, there are simply very few Jews in positions of civil authority.

In any case, as to what path you should choose, you will get no argument from Jews that you should be a Jew, because Jews are forbidden from proselytizing. We believe that Judaism and Jewish sacred text is for Jews, and non-Jews should practice their religions, and use their sacred texts to try and achieve good relationships with God and other people.

Thank you Levite. I wondered about this but felt that asking was out of place. I didn't think it was true and that it sounds like anti-Semitic propaganda to me too.

People from all around the world are likely incorrect on all sorts of things.

The global information age is certainly an interesting one, where very different cultures that mostly internally incubated their own philosophies are now interconnected at light speed. Previously they were only interconnected by very slow moving trading paths.

In the market place of ideas, where logic and evidence can be used to compare different ideas, some of them will likely prevail over others. Who knows how long that can take and what direction it will lead in.

Generally speaking, the more detailed ideas people come up with that are not based on sound logic, the more they are exposing their self to being "wrong". More conservative approaches are to read information from around the world and remain uncommitted to any given position unless the evidence is overwhelming.

As Bertrand Russell once said:
“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.”

I feel the same. There's so many religions, each with their own proofs, it seems impossible to know which to pick. Then of course there's sects. The only thing one can do is pray, meditate, think of one's beliefs and follow what seems true to him/her.

I think that perhaps, all religions are humans trying to explain what the Higher Power is without getting everything right. They all have some truths, but also culture and false perceptions mixed in, perhaps. They're all trying to get the whole picture but only get a few pieces of it.

Perhaps syncretism is the best way... Of course, if you are of the opinion not ONE religion is right. This is what I believe.

 

[Onkara]

I think that doubt arises when we make comparisons. It is better to suck it and see, go for something 100% with an open mind, go to the service, read the scripture and so on as if that were the religion for the rest of your life.

That is the only way I think I would know if it isn't right or not, otherwise it is like your are only there in body but not in spirit. We then have to keep trying until it feels right.

 

[Looncall]

If the same quest leads to such diversity of outcomes, that might be evidence that the quest itself is bogus.

Why not jettison the lot and live free of superstition?

Where would the pleasure and purpose be?

 

[Secret Chief]

I think you will remain confused, unless you can move away from the idea that there is one true path. Doubt is good but this is different from confusion. Your choice is whether to be true to your own mind, even though doubt will remain.

And please learn to ditch the Jews/economy nonsense.

Lose any fear you might have of direct questions. That would be my advice. If you answer every question as sincerely as you can -- even if you do it silently -- then that's the best you can do.

I always judge the integrity of a person's worldview by his openness to direct questioning about his views.

 

[Looncall]

That would be up to you, not imposed by ancient tribal mythologies. See the wonderful freedom?

 

[MeeM]

Thanks all of you for sharing your opinions,

I would like to clarify something, I mentioned some common KPIs of religions,

like when I say

*Christians are in majority, I mean that Christians are 33% of world population, the Religion followed by 33% humans, so it can be the True religion as no religion is being followed more then Christianity.

*Muslims are also in significant number and they are blessed with the wealth of OIL ( OIL is the most needed fuel for energy ) and as the Energy is required every where, so Islam can be the True Religion as GOD has given the OIL in the Land of Muslims, the other thing is that other people are afraid of Muslims as the only religion Islam is producing Suciders, I mean the followers of Islam are so much determined and brain washed that they are sacrificing their Lives ..... although it is not permitted in Islam to suicide and to cause mass destruction and kill innocent people.

*Hindus are also in Large numbers, and the number is being multiplied each day, so Hinduism can also be the True Religion as Gods are increasing their number so rapidly.

*Jews are Holding the Key posts in IMF, WB, FR, and many influential organizations (If it is a propaganda against them that they control the economy) still they hold the Key Positions of most of the Economic Organizations, Judaism can be the True Religion as god are blessing Jews and raising them to the Top positions from where they can control (if not controlling)

*Buddhist (Chinese and Far East Asian Countries) they are also in large number and the general perception is that , all the manufacturing (if not all, most of ) is being done in this region. and their products are capturing the world markets, Buddhism can be the True Religion, as the followers are being blessed by gods.


how to identify that who are the chosen people ??? who are the people blessed by GOD ???

 

[methylatedghosts]

How to identify that who are the chosen people ??? who are the people blessed by GOD ???

Why would any one person be more or less chosen or blessed than any other person?

Why not try to see the common truths within all religions, within all paths? Surely they all run in a similar direction?

 

[Father Heathen]

how to identify that who are the chosen people ??? who are the people blessed by GOD ???

Why would god be so petty as to favor one specific group of simians above the rest? Arrogant simians bestow the notion of "chosen" upon themselves. Arrogant simians also presume that their simian hyjinks are actually meaningful to god. They as see god as a fellow simian, projecting their own thoughts, feelings, fears and prejudices upon "him" (the infinite, omnimax creator of the cosmos has simian dangly bits).

 

[AmbiguousGuy]

how to identify that who are the chosen people ??? who are the people blessed by GOD ???

Why do you think there is a 'chosen people'?

Who told you that God chooses a certain group of people?

 

[Levite]

*Jews are Holding the Key posts in IMF, WB, FR, and many influential organizations (If it is a propaganda against them that they control the economy) still they hold the Key Positions of most of the Economic Organizations,

It is true that there are Jews employed by those organizations, and some of them hold influential posts. However, first of all, they are still a minority of all employees, and the fact that they happen to be Jews is irrelevant to their employment (and vice-versa). The idea that it might somehow be relevant that certain individuals in influential organizations are Jewish implies that somehow Jews seek out power in economic arenas for some nefarious purpose of their own. And that is untrue. It has always been untrue. The idea that Judaism somehow implies an agenda seeking influence in the global power structure, or global economy is both incorrect and offensive.

Judaism can be the True Religion as god are blessing Jews and raising them to the Top positions from where they can control (if not controlling)

We do not believe in the entire idea of "the True Religion." We hold that many religions have elements of truth in them, and no religion encompasses all Truth. We hold that Judaism is the right religion for Jews to practice, and it behooves non-Jews to practice whatever traditional methods of relating to God they have. The idea that everyone should ideally be the same religion is foreign to Judaism.

When we say that the Jews are God's chosen people, we mean that we are the people that God has chosen to be partners in the covenant of Torah. Presumably there are other things for which God chooses other peoples, perhaps different covenants He has with them.
