What Makes One Religion Better Than Another?

The truth is in the bible, but God will allow only people with the right heart condition to understand it.  If you really and truly want to know and you pray sincerely about wanting to know the truth, he will show you the way. Nobody can tell you which religion is the right one.  Only God will let you know.\n\nMark 7:6, 7: “He [Jesus] said to them [the Jewish Pharisees and scribes]: ‘Isaiah aptly prophesied about you hypocrites, as it is written, “This people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far removed from me. It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach as doctrines commands of men.”’” (Regardless of whom a group profess to worship, if they hold to doctrines of men instead of the inspired Word of God, their worship is in vain.)\n\nRom. 10:2, 3: “I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God; but not according to accurate knowledge; for, because of not knowing the righteousness of God but seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.” (People may have God’s written Word but lack accurate knowledge of what it contains, because they have not been taught properly. They may feel that they are zealous for God, but they may not be doing what he requires. Their worship is not going to please God, is it?)

It's a fundamental difference in how the religions are practiced.  For example:  Confession, birth control, and the guy with the funny hat.

I believe there are differences in religions because otherwise we wouldnt have so many problems affeecting mankind today....religion is about serving the grand creator....worship that is pure and is based on the principles from the bible and not mans thinking....religions today do not live by bible principles

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.

Simple answer:\n\nAll religions (except Biblical Christianity) teach that one can reach God on their own merit by performing certain rituals or ceremonies and generally being "good." \n\nChristianity teaches that there is nothing you can do to get to God and that your own merit falls far short of reaching God. The others teach man reaching to God. Christianity teaches God reaching to man.\n\nThose are the similarities.\n\nhope this helps.

No one's religion is the best and it depends on how the person worship in that religion.

There is a lot of good to organized religion, because it can accomplish more if the efforts and people are organized. However, when groups get too big, there are usually problems because people make mistakes. The bigger the group, the harder it is to correct.

Although religion is good in many ways, it has also created a lot of wars. Music can cross boarders that religion can't.

The example of the Jews work best...\n\nNext, you can also claim that Islam also claims to be the religion of the one true God and thus are worthy of going to heaven.\n\nAnd finally, if a God was really all-loving, it didn't matter which religion you join if you are moral enough. A true all-loving God won't blame you for your igorance in joining other religion, especially after all, he did gave you free will to do that

In which way monotheism is better than paganism?\n\nMonotheism as propagated by so called monotheist religion rather forces its followers to blindly follow . whatever concepts a small some 2000 year tribe had , has been forced on others, as the only truth. And in this quest it has shed too much blood through out the written history, and still doing it.\n\n"My god is the only true god " is not exactly monotheism whatever the followers will like to believe. It is more my god is better than yours concept and basically IT IS NOT MONOTHEISM. when you say any other god is false , you are accepting that there are other gods! though you are calling them inferior.\n\nPagans have much more respect for beliefs of others. And readily accept all forms of god as manifestation of same god. that is more monotheistic without insulting anyone. It gives freedom to followers to look for supreme according to there own perception.\n\nSomebody above claimed bible supports science! now that is funny seeing so many Christians refuting evolution theory.

i think religon-christianity or any other have no part in making ppl better.\nits all about being a great human being and your karma will reward you.\nreligon or the lack of it is insignificant as long as we are not evil and we intend to do no harm.

Islam and Christianity both have a history of using religion to justify violence, ethnic cleansing, and war.  I would find it hard to claim one is more bloody than the other.\n\nOf course, Islamic extremists would justify the perception that jihad - "holy war" makes Islam the religion with the most "soldiers of god" today.\n\nBut looking back in history, Christianity was used to justify the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, and colonization and ethnic cleansing of Native Americans.\n\nBoth religions are just as bloody.  And I would probably say that Christianity has been used to justify the deaths of more people than Islam.  Terrorists pluck off a few at a time, maybe a thousand in a big attack.  Wars fought by Christians killed many, many more.

Differences between the two religions began the day Abraham separated Ishmael and Hagar his mother from Isaac and Sarah, the progenitors of these faiths.  Both religions believe in the same monotheistic God, but views on how to relate and otherwise commune with Him differ drastically.  Christianity teaches that Jesus is the only way to God, Islam teaches that Jesus was not God Incarnate, but rather a prophet of Allah, who at the end of time will come back to proclaim Islam the true religion.
