Even as a devout Christian, this is one of a few questions that has always been in my mind, same idea applies to civilizations who were around for thousands of years before Jesus/Christianity came into the picture
Yeah i got kicked out of Catholic school , true story, and i believe the reason is b/c i was always a “questioner” and they really dont like that in the Catholic faith .

All other religions are false religions and were created to lead people to their own destruction while thinking they are doing the right thing

Orthodox Christianity is the one true, apostolic church.
I came to that realizaiton recently after listenign to Jay Dyer talk and debate.
Like bobby bueche's momma said - the other religions are the work of the devil, to pull people away from Christ.

You should look in the Jewish Talmud.
also as a Christian you should know that Jesus calls them the synagogue of stan. they are not good.
The Muslims at least recognize, Christ to a degree, but have been perverted by Satan as well. And yes, the jihad shite is wild, more widely known than the stuff in Talmud, but both bad.

My question is why does everyone think their religion is the right one?
Most people inherit their religion from their family or community. it becomes a core part of their identity from an early age. When being right about something is deeply ingrained in your upbringing it's pretty hard to admit you're wrong. Also, religions usually involve communities where shared beliefs are constantly reaffirmed with rituals/magic, worship, and teaching. A lot of folks are completely surrounded by people who are constantly telling them that they're right in their beliefs.
Most of the devout christians that I know would probably be devout muslims if they were born in the Middle East.

Many Christian traditions believe in invincible ignorance, the idea that if someone has never been exposed to the Gospel but seeks truth and lives according to their conscience, God’s mercy may still save them. Similarly, the fate of unbaptized infants has been debated for centuries, witth many Christians thought leaning toward the belief that God’s mercy would not condemn them.
Protestant perspectives vary, some emphasize the necessity of personal faith in Christ, while others believe God judges based on the light a person has received.
Romans 2:14-16
For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

Ultimately, the purpose of those religions is the reunification of the spirit with the divine. This requires purification of the soul, often thru difficult tests and trials.
The purpose of religion is to control. The rest of that stuff is an added bonus if the individual believes hard enough and can ignore the pastor banging his wife or kid in the other room.
You can find all the things you seek within, you dont need to give a corrupt system 10% of your income to tell you how you are lacking when themselves have caused more harm than you ever could

I've never had issues with other religions of the world.
When they think it's okay to kill others that don't follow their own beliefs.
That's were punishment comes in.

quote:if there is no belief system or God to dictate morality than morality becomes whatever people want it to be
As a non-believer, i think that someone who is a good person and acts morally because IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO is a better person than someone who tries to be good becuase they’re afraid of burning in hell .
There are some universal human moral principles that all people believe in - not killing people, not hurting people, everyone should have shelter/food
But even those have been attacked by many non believers. Most non believers’ moral code is going to be relative, not absolute. (tbh many believers, too)
What you talk about basically comes from the Categorical Imperative by Immanuel Kant - and doing good can be done without weighing the reward even for religious people.

Some believe God already picked who is going to Heaven so anybody that dies unbaptized or unexposed to religion was already destined to hell so it doesn’t matter.
I was always taught that God has a divine plan, so it really doesn’t matter what we do, including praying
if he has a plan for a no matter what happens to us, why do people pray?
