As the tile stands whatever YOUR personal beliefs are explain WHY yours is the right one. This thread isn't for bashing another belief but showing why yours isthe right one to follow.

This can include the sects of Islam, Philosophies, Denominations of Christianity, etc...
 
Because I must be right.

Other than that, I don't know how I'm supposed to convince others. I don't expect others to have the same mindset or faith that I do, so my ideas would just seem as strange as Scientology is to me. Sorry for not answering the topic. I would if I could.
 
Judaism, for many reasons, but the most basic one, and probably the easiest one for atheists and agnostics to accept, is that Judaism teaches a way to live your life here and now, not a way to attain some distant reward. While both Judaism and Christianity acknowledge that the most basic law is to "Love your neighbour as yourself and to love G-d with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might" they approach it in two different paths. Judaism teaches that in order to love G-d, one must love their neighbor, while Christianity teaches that first one must love G-d (baptism, rebirth) then one can love their neighbor. Similarly, whereas Christianity emphasises right belief on the path to salvation, Judaism emphasises right action for the sake of right action.

Within Judaism I am a member of the Conservative branch, which was a reaction to the extremism of early Reform Judaism. Basically, Conservativism acknowledges the necessity to grow and change allong with the world and the doctrine of the Living Torah (like Reformism), but also acknowledges the vast importance of tradition and the unity of the Jewish faith with the Jewish culture and heritage (like Orthodoxy).
 
Soloralism: Because 1) I made it up, and 2) It's cooler than boring monotheism, 3) It's got a well developed theology and mythology including games, and 4) I can freak people out by saying that I'm a member of a religion that they never heard of.

But if there is no God but Allah how can Ganesh exist? :confused:

looks ok to me. :undecide:

I say Zen is the best religion because I say so and if you don't like it I'm going to hit you with a stick you unenlightened bastard! :D

They are all correct in their own world.
Allah does exist for many people - they also say Ganesh doesn't exist. It doesn't ... for them. :)

Hmm.. it looks fine now. I must have tripleclicked on smthing.
 
Yeah, but the problem with many religious people is that they think they're right for everyone.
Yea, that is kinda annoying ... the whole "we are right, so i have to convince/force eveyone that they are wrong and we are right" attitude.
But i don't think that many religious people are like that.
Most religious people on the internet are like that. In RL i've yet to meet more than 2 who would try to convince/force their beliefs on me (not even the priests here are like that), they were both Jehova's Witnesses and they both recieved a slam of the door.
 
Religious people are like old folks, in my experience, either super bitter or pretty damn mellow and cool. I've had experiences with both kinds.
 
I believe the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to be the true restored church of Christ, with all the ordinances and priesthood authority necessary for mankind's salvation.

I can't say how I know, I just feel it. I feel it more powerfully than anything else I have ever felt, perhaps stronger than all the rest combined. I love this gospel more than anything the world has to offer.

That said, I'm not going to tell anyone else what to believe. Everyone must choose for themselves what they feel is right. Yes, we teach others what our religions believes. However, our emphasis is on free agency, the ability to choose. We have faith that those who are willing and ready to receive the gospel will know it's true. We don't need to prove it. It is actually frowned upon to shun someone because they don't agree with our beliefs or call them crazy, as it is unChristlike.

"We claim the privilage of worshipping almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience and allow all man the same privelage. Let them worship how, where or what they may."
 
The one that gets people to be good to each other, and doesn't seek to limit, restrict, or hurt others due to unprovable instructions.

Preferably the one that doesn't encourage suicide.

Perfectly true! :thumbsup: Occasionally, like once in a year, I also get a group of those sectants knocking at my door. :shake: As for those who try to impose their beliefs on me or on others, I've got an even more annoying smiley: :rolleyes:
 
Christianity, be it Protestants, Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Mormons, etc. I'm not going to get into which denomination might be right or wrong because the differences between them are really not that important for the most part in the grand scheme of things, in my opinion.
