Good Question, although you got a little lost in your typing there. \n\nI have to agree with your premise though. All in all, I think, and remember this is just my opinion, that you're on the right track. I think it's how a person lives and treats him/her self and others, that really matters. \nIf God really wants everyone to be one religion or another, there has to be some wiggle room in the end for those who just didn't know the difference or who were simply confused over the enormity of it all. \nPersonally I'm a God fearing Agnostic. Meaning I believe in God, but I don't believe in any one specific religious view of God. I know my actions towards others is a reflection of Gods' plan and if I'm cruel then I'm doing evil. \nIf I help someone out of my own kindness then I'm doing God's work.\nI don't believe God watches each of us individually, that's why He gave us free will. \nWe as individuals must look inward to find peace, love and goodness. Each of us must reach that place to pull out the goodness and extend it to our neighbors.

People fear what they don't understand .. So they call it evil ... \n\nOr make excuses and say it was gods idea.. (I really love that one )  Human's are really stupid when they don't understand what is going on around them ..

What the question should be is why is it some people who believe in GOD are so judgemental over others beliefs? Some folks are simply trying to find thier own path, and may be eclectic. He may be real to you, he is not real to every one. Nothing wrong with either ideology, just wish there was a way for every one to understand that.

I find it hard to believe God made so many different people and only one way to worship  Him.  Faith is great, religion sucks.  Faith can move mountains, religion kills people.  Hell is on earth.\nReligion is for those who believe in hell,  Spirituality is for those who have already been there.

i think people claim that their religion is the best because they believe in it, because they are convinced that this is the best way to reach God. but as long as you respect the other persons' beliefs it is not a problem. the problem arises only when you try to force the others to believe in your religion or when you harm them for being the members of a religious group. this proves that the ones who do such things are not the servants of god.

A very good question.\n\nNobody likes to think their loved ones are bad people or that their own heaven will exclude the things or people that they love. It is a no win argument, either the God/Gods will punish the wrong doers and in the process do evil to the person who did no wrong, or the God/Gods have to forgive everyone for their crime and heaven will be open for everyone even if they don't believe.\nMaybe there is a true God that does not punish and the Gods we all hear about are all just the Devil, making threats and forcing people to follow them. Even more radical would a true loving God exclude anyone? or even judge people?

People don't need to be scared witless to become decent people. Whether or not this is all there is, people will generally be or try to be decent because life is much more livable and tolerable when we're not all at each other's throats. We don't need God or a soul to understand that. Not being religious does not mean that by definition we're just going to mistreat everyone.

Every one wants their religion to be THE BEST ONE by flaunting good deeds they try to make it so.  In the  Bible it says do not flaunt your deeds only god needs to know. (not exactly, but close) I would like to think no matter what religion you practice this should apply, I hate to think people do good just to convince others of their goodness, only you and your god or goddess or??? need to know

I think that as ong as you are a good person in your heart, and dont' inflict pain on people, that you will go to "heaven" or whatever it is called. All religions pretty much have the same message.

Finding God is a personal journey for all.  One can only expose his/her children to religion and teach them good manners.  \n\nIndividual people corrupt, not general religions!!??!!   There is no superiority.   Stop that.

hasn't  the Christians been trying to prove that by any means possible? that's why they have wars, that's why people get killed. every-body's religion is the only one. at least to certain individuals who will stop at nothing to make sure that others will follow their ways. all religions have one purpose and that is to control the masses. I have said for years that religion is for people that cannot think for themselves. it's for people that need to be led.

Because they choose to follow Satan and no matter what God tries they still rather sin than God and they would be miserable in heaven with all the holiness and holy people doing holy things and praising God. You can imagine someone who doesn't want to worship God in heaven where all they will do is worship God? It will be hell for them. People will not burn in hell forever they will burn until they are dead, despite what people say God is still compassionate and caring even in this.

I know the point you're trying to get across to people but I don't think the right way to show people a loving God is to call them dumb. As Christians we're not here to judge others, we're here to love others. So pray for those who don't believe in God and guide them to the Lord through your example.

Religion usually means people reaching out for God.\n\nChristianity believes God is reaching out for people.

I came to this conclusion about politics and religious types a few years ago and I will share this with you now ok...\n  Religious people feel the need to believe there is a greater force out there so that they think their lives have meaning. They have a Bible, they follow the Bible, they think that if they do not do exactly as the Bible says they will not go to heaven. Part of the Bible is to spread the word of God to as many people as possible. Part of the Bible is also that mankind has freewill to make their own choices and do as it pleases. \n\n      So the problem I have with religious zealots is that they remember the first and forget the second. \nWhy would someone want to join a religion where you come across sounding like a half baked loon to anyone you talk to about God?\n Wouldnt it be better to be loving and accepting of everyone and happy with yourself to the point where people ask you wow why are you so happy what are you doing right with your life? Rather than trying to cram it down our throats and legislate morality.\n Teach through example, be a good kind tolerant person who respects peoples wishes.  Uh there is more to is, but yeah Jesus would most definately be a liberal.

Its little wonder that people today are not interested in the things of the Lord as we are told that in the last days man will be ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth and man will not want to retain any knowledge of God in their minds. These same people are quick to blame God or everything yet don't want to know him when they are not experiencing any problems. From my personal experience the real problem is getting people to firstly accept that they need a savior as they have a condition in them that condemns them to hell and they seem oblivious to this. The condition is called "sin in the flesh" and its this condition which ultimately sends them to hell unless they come Gods' way and accept Jesus as their savior and become born again. Judging from the answers you have already received, it is apparent that the vast majority are still totally in the dark when it comes to this critical issue. Many are content to carry on as though they will be O.K. as they live good lives and do good deeds whilst they are unaware that it is their inner condition which will result in their final destruction. All we can do is keep praying for "all men everywhere"
