Simple. You guys believe in completely different gods. If that was not the case, you would not have started this thread.

That means most of you, at least, are wrong. Which casts serious doubts about the reliability of religious beliefs, in general.

Because of that, I just analitically extend wrongness to the few remaining ones.

Indeed. One can't help but find it somewhat odd that God might conceivably exist and somehow favor a certain religion over others, while at the same time going out of its way to hide those supposed facts.

No, we do not believe in Different Gods. It is your own idea. Do not base your ideas on baseless thoughts. I will answer your questions in points.
1. We do not believe in Different Gods, infact there is only one God but all religions or set of teachings come from the same God.
2. This thread is to educate people about Religion. You need to understand the nature of religion or standard set of teachings. Religion also had to go through an evolutionary process and we have different religions because there have been many different prophets for certain areas and certain peoples. All of them were sent to the world or were appointed by the same God. Basically all taught the same concept of one God but as time passed and due to human interference in divine scriptures such as Bible and Vedas etc, they lost their original teaching and concept.
I hope this answers your questions. If you still have any questions just go ahead and ask. Thanks

Does this include polytheistic religions?

I'll be honest, I find the Vedas rather more profound than the Qur'an - perhaps different scriptures remain suitable for different people?

Are you telling me that Apollo, Thor, Ganesh, the great Juju at the bottom of the sea and Allah are the same god?

The "best" religion is the one that helps more people become kinder & more compassionate human beings.

Enjoy your day!

Can you point out any 10 universal teachings for peace and education of all people of the world from Vedas?

Well, I don't think the Vedas need be followed by all the world. Different people can follow their own scriptures.

But the Yamas and Niyamas (restraints and observances) are found in the Vedas.

Chief among these is ahimsa, meaning non-violence, in thought, word and deed.

Also featured are satya (truthfulness), brahmacharya (continence), asteya (non-stealing), mitahara (non-excess in food), shaucha (cleanliness), tapas (discipline), ishvarapranidhana (surrender of the self to the Lord), santosha (contentment and acceptance) and kshama (patience).

There's a decent ten.

The best religion will only bring unity in the world. Warlike features depend on the teaching of a certain religion or certain school of thought. The best religion would only teach peace.

Let's see if the teachings of Jesus meet the ^ above ^ criterion about teaching peace and bringing unity

Jesus did Not advocate war or violence - Matthew 26:52
Jesus said his genuine followers would have self-sacrificing love among themselves - John 13:34-35
Jesus, as Prince of Peace, will usher in global Peace on Earth among men of goodwill - Isaiah 11:3-4 - bringing the wicked to their end - Psalms 92:7
Under his coming rulership - Psalms 72:8; Psalms 72:12-14 - there will be good conditions on earth - Isaiah 11:7-9
Even the desserts will blossom like flowers - Isaiah 35
There will be healing for earth's nations - Revelation 22:2
We're all invited to pray the invitation for Jesus to come and usher in global Peace on Earth among men of goodwill - Revelation 22:20 B.

Is there one with temple prostitutes and free beer?

Don't know of any one with temple prostitutes, but looks like free wine could be available those living during Jesus' millennium-long day of governing over earth because each person will have their own vine ( wine ) - Micah 4:3-4

No, we do not believe in Different Gods, there has to be on God and one universal scripture to follow. It is your own idea. Do not base your ideas on baseless thoughts.

1. We do not believe in Different Gods, infact there is only one God but all religions or set of teachings come from the same God.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks
