29 Aug '11 12:52Originally posted by buckkyi know what you mean and i agree with you. why do you think so many wars appear all over the world? blind faith is a scary and dangerous thing. in an ideal world everyone would be taught about each religion and about the people who follow that religion.
See what I mean ?

In project management,a project is considered a success if it achieves a predefined aim. How do you define best religion overall ? I offer one definition based on a Vedic prayer. The religion which leads us from falsehood to truth,from darkness to light,from death to immortality could be that.
29 Aug '11 18:25Originally posted by rvsakhadeoAs there are no universal, predefined aims, there can be no single objective test for "best" religion. There are, however, 6 billion+ subjective tests. If your religion based upon Vedic prayer works best for you, then good for you. But do not presume that it will work best for everyone.

29 Aug '11 18:48Originally posted by rwingettI would say that humans have a great many things in common than their numbers would imply. As regards the persisting yearning for seeing some light in the surrounding darkness is concerned,humanity must be thinking almost as one.

How many religious groups fall under the spell of group think. My religion is the best religion there is, and the leader of my religion is the greatest spiritual leader of all time. It seems to me that most if not all religious groups have this mind set.

Religion must be about the transcendental self and God.
And the knowledge pertaining to the self and God must be correct for the religion to have any potency.
If the religion does not have potency it will not raise the consciousness to the level of love of God.
Therefore only true religion has this potency.

30 Aug '11 07:331 editOriginally posted by buckkyI think you have a strange and slightly bitter view of people who are religious; it's a shame because none of the Christian's I know behave or talk how you describing here. However if they believe something is the truth then it is the truth for them.
Thats right. No one wants to belong to a second rate religion. It reminds me of someone that thinks that a Chevy is the best car, and no other cars come close. Some think that their football team is the best team out there. It goes on, and on untill you start to think everybody is sort of nuts. I'm a white guy, and white guys are the best guys.

30 Aug '11 07:37Originally posted by rwingettOne could hold that certainly; it wouldn't mean it was correct though.
One could hold that there are many valid paths toward "the truth", that they're free to choose the one that is most appropriate for their situation, and that others may justifiably choose a different one.
