[QUOTE="Mr. Laxative, post: 90431"] [i]no religion can be right for everyone. It depends on the perosn.[/i][b] Why not? Is gravity not absolute? Why can't something be absolutely true? Since when is truth objective? If religion is true, and their is a creator, and this creator has certain requirements, then there is only one way to meet these requirements and please this creator. There are absolutes in this world. Either I'm absolutely right about my faith, or I'm absolutely wrong. There is no inbetween. This does not give me the right to be a ******* about it, though. [/b][/quote] Gravity is supposedly absolute. People say that this is definately what makes us stay on the planet, it's what pulls us down, so we don't float out into space - they claim this to be fact. But, this is not absolute fact. This is a THEORY (albeit a good one) based on a series of scientific fact. Every sensible person knows that this is almost certainly correct and they take it for granted - including me. Religion, however is a different thing all together. If a person KNOWS they are absolutely right about their faith, then good for them. Their faith, to them is right and is right for them. Other people believe different things. Religion isn't as common as the theory of gravity. Nearly everyone recognises the theory of gravity as a reasonable suggestion that is probably right.

Religion is not, because belief is spread among many different numbers of people and, besides no one will ever know which religion is the correct one. Not in this [i]life[/i] anyway!! I really have to agree with you on this one though. Religion can unify different groups of people and they stand as one with a common belief. Yes, it certainly can be abused greatly as well. And no, you can't blame faith - and I certainly don't - but it is those who have manipulated and have been manipulated that declare an act in the name of religion and thus people of other faiths criticise the particular one that committed the act.

No, we'll just have to live with the vast array of religions and just hope that people will begin to realise that it is not right to attack faiths other than their own. The above text is an extract from my soon to be released book, ***led: [i]Which Faith Is Right?[/i] I do hope that one day this book will help unify all people of all religions and show that they shouldn't fight over which faith is right.
