Author | Topic: why is your religion the 'right' one? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DC85 Member Posts: 876 From: Richmond, Virginia USA Joined: |
I asked this in another fourm and I was told I was off topic so I decided to make another one. The question is
Why is your religion the right one? Why do you believe it to be true? There rules you can't answer with something like this "I just have faith it is" as that makes 0 sense and all you are really saying is I believe Because I believe. The 2nd rule is you can't turn this around and say "Why do you believe evolution is true?" Because I am answering that right now. I DON'T. I am agnostic and I do not have faith in anything. I simply except Evolution as the most reasonable since it has evidence to back it up. If another theory came along that made more sense and had better evidence I would except that.

Here's my post, post 49 from prayer, faith and belief:
quote: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
quote: You are asking me like I created hell. God gave us free will to believe whatever we wanted but if we do not accept the truth we go to hell. Everyone will recieve a chance to hear about God, if you refuse to accept it you end in hell. God gave us a chance at salvation..... JESUS. You have free will to except or deny this but it all comes down to the truth. You will be judged not by me but by God in the end. If you want to deny it you can! God gives us that right but he is not contradicting himself because he has warned us of these things!If you do not believe then you are refusing to believe. If you take no heed to the warning you shall perish in hell. So what I am trying to say is that yes God did give us a free will to either doom ourselves or to "save" ourselves. It is still free will either way you look at it. I am sorry if I am coming off in a wrong way towards anyone. Judgemental,ignorant, whatever..... So be it. These are my beliefs (set down by God!) that I use my free will to believe in. As for which religion is the right one, this is the set of beliefs God has given us. Take it or leave it. The other religions are man made. Christianity is God made. It does not even have to fall under the category of religion necessarilly, it is THE belief. Take it or leave it. -chris ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Respond to this HERE

I used to not be so wise; previously, I had been a couple different religions. At least I wasn't foolish enough to fall for some religions. ------------------"Illuminant light, illuminate me."

you didn't answer anything. it was a long version of what I asked you not to do. know why do you believe it? its a simple question. thats all I am asking. I am adding a new rule if you don't mind rule 3 you are not allowed to answer "Because God said it" or something like that. Because that brings us back to the first question. Why do you believe it? I except that they are your beliefs however I would like to know why they are and why you believe them

Look around you. Just by looking around you have to come to the conclusion you were created... Though that fact is also in dispute I believe that my "religion" is right just by looking around.

Look around you. Just by looking around you have to come to the conclusion you were created Why would one have to come to that conclusion? All the evidence points to there being no zap-poof creation. It all points to an ancient Earth and evolution.

Well *I* came to the conclusion that I was born like everyone else I know.
Are you a robot or an android or something ?

I have no idea whether my religion is the right one. If I knew then it would be fact, not faith.

It was by looking around that I came to conclusion that Christianity is false.

Messenjah:
quote:Christianity tries to teach people that. But the thought process is completely circular. Nobody has ever looked at nature and intuitively derived any specific tenets of your belief system from it. Only a pre-existing belief in God declares that the heavens declare the existence of God, which, as has been pointed out, still offers no specific information about him or what he wants from us. Dan:
quote:Because Allah lacked the grace to allow Messenjah to be born in a part of the world where everyone is Muslim. But you probably knew that already. Prime determinant of religious belief, worldwide: geographic location. Hardly a satisfying criterion to form the basis of eternal judgment.
