WHY MY RELIGION IS RIGHT AND YOURS IS WRONG.

Mine is better, because I value the importance of friendship and harmony amongst humanity.

The Flawed Logic of "The One True Path"
................e with respect and courtesy when discussing your beliefs or theirs. If you try to find the core principles that guide most religions, you will find that they all share many similarities, and there is room in the world for all of them.



Blessed Be,

If anyone says that his/her religion is the only path to God and that other paths lead to hell, I have one humble question. The question is for every religion without any trace of partiality. The simple question is: Today I have heard your Religion and if I follow that, I reach God and if I refuse I will go to the hell for my own fault. This is very much reasonable. But before your ancestors discovered our country, the literature or even the name of your religion was not known to our ancestor and he could not reach God for no fault of him. But your ancestor reached God through your religion at that time.

Even if I assume that my ancestor will take rebirth now and will follow your religion to reach God, such possibility is ruled out because you say that there is no rebirth for the soul. Thus my ancestor suffered forever for no fault of him and the responsibility for this falls on the partiality of God. Had the God been impartial, He could have revealed your religion to all the countries at a time. Had that happened, my ancestor might have also reached God as your ancestor. Therefore your statement proves your own God partial.

The only way left over to you to make your God impartial is that you must accept that your God appeared in all the countries at a time in various forms and preached your path in various languages. The same form did not appear everywhere and the same language does not exist everywhere. The syllabus and explanation are one and the same, though the media and teachers are different. Can you give any alternative reasonable answer to my question other than this? Certainly not! Any person of any religion to any other religion can pose this question.

Moreover every religion states that their God only created this world. Unfortunately this world is one only and every God cannot create the same world. There are no many worlds to justify that each God created His own world. Therefore any human being with an iota of commonsense has to agree that there is only one impartial God who created this one world and He came in different forms to different countries and preached the same path in all the languages simultaneously at one time.

Let this logic sword of the divine knowledge cut the rigid conservatism of the religious fans in this world to establish the Universal Peace. I need not beg all these religious followers to be united and harmonious to each other for the sake of world peace. Such begging appeals are made enough in the past. The religious fans feel that there is no unity really in the religions but they have to be united since their kind hearts melted by these appeals. Thus a temporary change was only brought. At the maximum one generation of the followers got united. The next generation fights with each other because they feel that there is no real unity in them due to lack of the real unity in their religious scriptures.

A permanent solution for this does not lie in the begging appeals, which may or may not unite the followers. Even if the appeals unite such unity is not permanent. If the real unity in all the religious scriptures is exposed through the logical divine knowledge, the followers have to be united for generations together. Therefore, My attack is not on the hearts of the followers through love and kindness. My attack is on all the religious scriptures through intellectual logical analysis of divine knowledge. The unity of hearts through love can be only temporary. The unity of brains through intellectual analytical divine knowledge will be permanent. Hearts agree but brains realize. Agreement is temporary, but realization is permanent. Thus this is My first blow of My divine Conch shell for the permanent unity of all the religions aiming at eternal Universal Peace.

I will simply add what I believe could be added to any such discussion;

The right thing is the easiest to know and the hardest to do;
If one wishes to make the world a better place all one needs to do is carry the light and set the example.

I personally believe there is "One True Path", in the sense that any question has one true answer and an unlimited amount of false ones, and while I cannot (or will not) claim to have found it - I have found that simply looking for it makes me feel better - hopefully it can make someone else feel better, too.

HI Khem

Your posting is just too beautiful. Its very sensible at these very insensible times.

It reminds me of a saying ." GOOD PEOPLE DO GOOD, AND BAD PEOPLE DO BAD.

BUT FOR GOOD PEOPLE TO DO BAD, IT REQUIRES RELIGION"

[stan]

THERE IS A WORLD WHERE IT'S ALL PERFECT AND YOUR RIGHT IN THE MIDST OF IT BUT THE JUDGING KINDA GETS IN THE WAY.  :smt003

MY MESSAGE FOR THOSE IN OUTER DARKNESS IS

THE KINGDOM IS WITHIN YOU AND AROUND YOU!

[ksri10]

THE ONLY TRUE RELIGION IS THE RELIGION OF UNIVERSAL LOVE FOR ALL CREATURES CREATED BY THE UNIVERSAL COSMIC SOUL.

[kgirlsmomma]

Everyone is on the path..that is right for them.

[ksri10]

Every one is not sure ........which is the right path for them

[kgirlsmomma]

Even if you are 'unsure'...you are still on the right path..until you are guided to another.  Remember..it is a journey, not a destination.

[ksri10]

Yes..........but please do not forget that destination is equally important, if not more.......

I have always pondered this question myself.  I started pondering this when I ran into a person that followed the Christian faith tell me that I was going to hell because of the fact that my mother raised me in the Yoruba faith.

I have a real problem with this concept.  I don't see how anyone who was raised in a certain faith as a child can be punished for the mere fact of their faith.  I believe that we are all the higher power's children, regardless of whether that god is Allah, Christ, Oshia, Buddha, or any of the many godesses associated with the Pagan faith.

Just don't buy into it.

[ksri10]

Just relax, and never consider this as a problem. Just follow your heart and soul. Every religion have religious bigots who invite a bad name for that religion. God bless you.
