The true religion invites comparison

[crocusj]

I believe that the one true religion will embrace the spirit of freedom of religion and freedom to choose, confident that it will win out. Those of a false religion will tend to erect laws forbidding the free exchange of literature and freedom to practice it- thus indicating their falsity. Now look at the countries of particular concern and decide for yourself which religion(s) is subconsciously proclaiming itself false while claiming that it's true and will take over the world.)(

Is there a god in this religion?

I'm allergic to pretense and condescension. It makes me break out in rhetoric.

I hear theres a cream for that.

Thanks to Savagewind for the very first decent and courteous reply I've received since joining this website and forum! It pains me to say that those having found joy and peace in their faith are far more likely to be civil than those who have not. They are at the very least ladies and gentlemen.

I highly disagree.

At the same time, everyone can't be right. Right?

You're wrong.

I always am a little wary whenever anyone mentions the words "The One True Religion". Sorry.

The sentence in the bolds describes Islam.

The sentence in the bolds describes Islam.

It also just as accurately describes Christianity.

Question: Doesn't any and every religion that utilizes the concept of a Hell for non-believers, immediately remove itself from this lofty ideal of the "one true religion" per the OP's description?

Please list the religions where every one if its followers utilizes the concept of a hell for non-believers.

Which leads back to my point:

No word back from the OP lately, but he started a lively discussiion. Ya think maybe that was the point?

Is the point maybe a syndrome ?

Sorry. I did recognize your original sarcasm in your phrase "just as accurately". I was trying to drive home the point.

But I really was asking the question too (primarily of the OP). If your religion must rely on threatening people with eternal fire and pain for simply not believing the way you tell them to believe, then isn't your religion a complete con job?

PS- yes, I also recognize that the OP never mentioned such things, but then again, he/she never said what religion he/she believes is "the one true religion" or even what these countries in question might be. So all are fair game.

Actually, you seem to have missed the point.
Again.

the point being that even within Islam there are Muslims who do not believe in an eternal lake of fire hell.

My religion embraces the freedom of religion, yet I don't consider it the one true relgion. How do you explain this apparent contradiction?

(We explain it by noting that different religions work for different people.)

Same for Buddhism; matter of fact, I think this is the way all eastern religion and philosophy works.

 

[dyanaprajna2011]

The poster said nothing about "the one true religion" except that a false religion will claim it is true. It will even claim it is the only (one) true religion.

If this is the case, then as I noted in my above post about eastern religions not believing they are the one true religion, there are only two religions I know that say they are the only true religion: Christianity and Islam. Seeing as how these two comprise over half the worlds population, I'd say it's the minority that's holding to truth, that is, if the OP is held to be true.
