Right or wrong religion?

[Trailblazer]

I have noticed that some religious people often tend to think that the religion they follow is the only "right" religion. But in my head that sound in some way incorrect.

I think a religion that is right for me does not need feel right for others,
Any thoughts?

Religion is not like a pair of shoes that fits and looks nice with one's outfit.
Religion comes from God, so logically speaking, God knows which religion is the *right religion.*
If we believe in God we should want what God wants for us, not what *feels comfortable.*

All the religions does lead toward God/Buddha/Dao or what one lik to call it, but what is important is to stick to one set of teaching and not mix and match from all kind of religions. Christians follow Christianity, Hindus follow hinduism and so on, But we should not say one is wrong and one is right just because we think we follow the "right! one

That's for an individual to judge. If I, or anyone could propose to tell you, this forum would not exist.

Thank you I did not quite understand your point. Religions have often borrowed from other beliefs as they develop. Then you have those that see the gods and goddesses as symbolic yet in some way real which does become somewhat confusing and those that see the universe is the god/goddess depending on which word you use. This is a merge of material nature with a spiritual twist and I have heard many variations on it.

Point taken: you appear to have a convoluted way of expressing simple facts, if you do not mind me saying so thereby giving the impression that there is more to what you are saying than meets the eye.

There is, but its difficult for me to shorten my posts. When I do, the conversation doesn't get deeper just cut of; so, I gave up.

Thanks for clarifying your posts.

I'm fine with the death penalty.

As God, I forbid any laws that destroy God's creation.

Aztec culture was not primitive and the people and religion still exist.

Do they still practice human sacrifice?

No. The people reviving Aztec polytheism tend to offer their own blood to the gods by way of bloodletting. Although I suppose you could join the military or law enforcement and dedicate the deaths of those you kill to the gods. Might as well.

It is barbaric.

I believe that all religions contain the same spiritual truths which are eternal so in that sense all religions are right....

However, I also believe that God sends a new Messenger in every age with a new message and new teachings and laws that God wants us all to follow. If we instead cling to the religions of the past, we miss out on the *new* message and the *new* teachings and laws. The world we live in changes and people change over time. The new message and teachings and laws are pertinent to the age we live in whereas the older ones are no longer pertinent.

“The All-Knowing Physician hath His finger on the pulse of mankind. He perceiveth the disease, and prescribeth, in His unerring wisdom, the remedy. Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration. The remedy the world needeth in its present-day afflictions can never be the same as that which a subsequent age may require. Be anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and center your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements.”
Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 213​

Also, the older religions become changed and corrupted by humans over time and that is another reason we need a new religion in every age.

So you are disputing that I am God living a human life impeccably?

I'm not going to play into your mental illness. Maybe you should stay off the Internet until you're in a better place in terms of your mental health. Because, no - you're not God and you're just making yourself look bad with these sort of posts.

 

[Shantanu]

That's nice.

I thought you are an atheist.

I'm a polytheist. I've never been an atheist.

Have you any thing other than fascile insults to throw at me?

Do you believe in a Creator and Preserver God?

I'm not insulting you, no more than mentioning my clinical depression and anxiety disorder would be insulting me. You know you have a delusional disorder.
