In any social milieu you can find fear and intolerance present, if you look closely at any group or organisation there will always be those who express a lack of understanding of different cultures.\n\nThe promotion of these sectarian views and false claims of an exclusive method or way to liberation or salvation, is part of the mental conditioning of the fundamental mindset, which promotes\nfriction, division and hatred, which ironically is the mirrored opposite of the qualities that are propounded to be vital to real elevation, this hypocrisy is adopted by certain religionists who lack real spiritual development.\n\nThe primary cause of such derision is ignorance.

i agree, islam is not peaceful, man made, and hypocritical...what other religions has a promise of virgins waiting in heaven if you kill a non-believer...

All religions are good. There is no religion in this world that tells you anything different from the ten commandments. Only the people with these various religions are bad.

Why not abandon all religion?  Why not simply live a life doing good things and live by example?  \n\nIn my view, religion is the root of all evil.  Avoid it at all cost.

i think all religions are crazy. but that's just me. lol, whenever a jahovy came to harass, i mean talk to us, we would just stand there and look dumb...lol, never answer any questions, so on. \nthey had quite enough after a while. \nto me, and i'm not a folower, but buddhism makes the most sense. it's not about any god, or rules, you just have to be considerate, and honest, and everything will work out for you. \nbut whatever. religion is a form of control, and i think it should all be outlawed, like cults.

All religions have a dark and evil past. People have fought in the past and will fight in the future. All because my imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend.

because, people cannot understand eachother.  anything different is perceived to be evil, and anything evil is obviously bad.  What the world needs is some education on different religions.  If we all learned about each other, we wouldn't be so afraid of one another.

The aim is to create a peaceful world.  Its not the super powers that are fighting, its the freakin idiot, religious extremists and little tribes that are all fighting with each other or the super powers.

They don't know how to look.  It's difficult and scary.\nSpiritual path means you have to face your demons.  It's most people's choice to avoid them.  Our culture does not support your suggestion of happiness.  Culture and media supports looking for fulfillment from outside.  I really wish everyone could be happy, too.  That's why i'm always suggesting yoga and breathing to people who are asking questions.

They're all evil. The best religion is no religion.

In short, buddhism is scary! The aim and object of buddhism is to eternally destroy your own existence by becoming nothing. They dont beleive in God so it is actually covered athiesm. Very dangerous. It looks like religion from the outside because they practice renounciation and they beleive in karma etc. but really it is only another form of athiesm.

There is a lot of nonsense surrounding Buddhist monks. They aren't as mystical and peaceful as people make them out to be. A lot of it is propaganda.\nThat's not to say Buddhism in general is bad. It is a lot more rational and peaceful than most mainstream religions. But we're talking religious 'authority' here and they are all the same no matter what religion - exploiters.\n Even the whole "Free Tibet" thing is purely politically motivated. The followers of the Dahli Lama were exploiting the peasants before the Commies moved in. Of course the Communists are just as bad, but people shouldn't act that putting the religious theocracy back in power in Tibet that suddenly Tibet would be free.

Enlightenment that is not for all humanity isn't Enlightenment! There is no personal peace without peace and liberation for every person. \n\nKinesiology has nothing to with Enlightenment, and neither does elitism. With ego death all competition, inequity, arrogance and self righteousness die. People have made Enlightenment into another object to attain, but it is their egos that want it and so their egos learn the 'enlightenment script.' As long as there is a desire to do harm, there is no Enlightenment. \n\nAnd NO enlightened person would ever want to profit from their revelations. If they are making money selling enlightenment, they are no different than any other cult/religion. \n\nKinesiology! That is sad...\n\nIn Christ (not Christianity which offer no enlightenment)

wow....some respected answerer sounds too intolerant. I respect all religions but just to remind few people...didnt jesus want us to be tolerant and compassionate? Then why do we get upset because someone is not following what we follow. God doesnt belong to one man....entire cosmos including the life in the universe is the divine manifestation. We are all one under the eyes of the supreme being. But we humans are too intolerant. We think we are religious and tolerant but talk ill of other cultures, practices and traditions. We have to have a open mind with little compassion towards humanity.\n\nNow coming to the question on mantras. Every religion has a way of feeling and experiencing divine presence. Some experience divine in church listening to gospel, some experience divine in temples singing mantras, some experience divine in mosques, some experience divine presence in synagogues. But it all boils down to our self-satisfaction. Some might meditate in quietness and feel peace, some read scriptures and holy books and find peace, some sing for peace. Its just different ways of experiencing the ultimate being which we call with different names.

Because they are mindless drones.  My roomate always talks about how he was raised in a "Good Christian Family", yet he can't even brush his teeth, shower or clean up after himself.  Most of them  just regurgitate was has been beaten into thier heads since childhood.  They don't even know anything about spirituality or faith.  Most very religious people I know are incredibly closed-minded.  I know one Christian who believes that dinosaur bones are fake, and that they were planted.  I'll never involve myself with any organized religion.  It's all the same crap anyway, and they wage war over it.  Also, most religions are hateful towards women.

I sin every day, and I'm not so insecure about death that I have to go sit in a box with some priest, and beg for forgiveness while he reads a magazine on the other side. Everyone tells lies... It's human nature. Organized religion, the bible, and the ridiculous concept of a deity was created by man for the sole purpose of control. The same reason why Santa Claus was created for children to be on their best behavior. Out of all the religions, I'd have to say through personal experience that Christianity is quite possibly the worst with tolerance, and the acceptance of others with differing beliefs. In their mind, they see their "way" as the only way, and they'll refuse to see differently, so they'll spout rhetoric and scripture as a means to intimidate, and convert others. Hence, why the word "Christianize" exists.

Christian mythology is obviously not for the peacefull kind. This religion is a form of war...Kill everyone that's an indiviual I say. Hitler has nothing on god. What about old Bin Laden...ha ha ha! god make bin laden look like mother tarisa!
