I found this message interesting. I found it on a Hindu/Kali dedication forum. Could it be true that all religions are essentially right ? Perhaps the evolution of religions caused the contradiction of details, but perhaps the essense of every religion truly coincides ?

I spoke to a man who is both Christian and Hindu. He worships Jesus Christ and Mother Kali. He beleives that God, in its true form, is unidentifiable by any individual human being.

He beleives that God manifests in different forms: Jesus, Kali, Buddha, Krishna, Apollo, Shiva- different archetypes which are diverse minds can understand and relate with.

HE feels it is okay to recognize God/Universe in different ways. We all have different perspectives, even those of us with same religions/outlooks.

What say you ?

I'd say he is wrong.

However, I do agree that many religions come from one. That is that many religions other than Judaism/Christianity are a corruption of faith that occurred in the Garden and that people had strayed even by the seventh generation from Adam.

Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.

You do realize that some of those other "corrupt" religions predate Judaism? There's also good evidence that Judaism borrowed certain aspects from some of those older religions, so who's plagiarizing/corrupting who...

Yeah, I thought of that when I just started puberty, or rather, just learnt of the 6 main religions. Maybe I'm just smart like that.

...I later realised I was wrong and was just making it up based on the assumption that it's likely.

What you seem to be saying is:

1) Christianity/Judaism are the only religions which aren't corrupt.

2) Judaism is older than all other religions, including all pagan forms of paganism.

3) Adam and Eve existed

I really hope you thought about this....

If you check out this site, you will understand something else:

While Wicca is roughly 50-60 years old, witchcraft can be traced all the way back to the stone age.

Wicca is a modern version of witchcraft, an ancient pagan religion. Both utilize the worship of a God and Goddess...Mother Earth and the Father- the "Horned God" of the Hunt.

If you want to get technical, the oldest religion is witchcraft. It's the earliest known form of paganism.

Did somebody say VIBRATIONS??? 😊

Are all beliefs right???

Atheism: There is no God

Christianity: There is a God.

Islam: Allah is the last prophet.

Bat Sh*t Crazies: Flubnaald!!!!

...nah. They aren't all right.

But the idea that they're interrelated isn't a new one. The notion that you can boil many stories, myths, and religions down to basic core elements that stretch across time, location, and culture is basically Joseph Campbell's life condensed into a sentence.

Well Hinduism is the only religion that views all religions as a valid pathway to Heaven, so it's not surprising he thinks that.

To answer your question: it depends who you ask. But a lot of religions emphatically state that they're the only valid way.

2) Actually no. Judaism didn't start until after the Torah was written. I believe it is the preservation of the original faith which dates back to Adam. Obviously, there are many faiths that are too old to be accurately dated as the faith must precede the text and nearly all texts speak of people that followed their faith long before the text was written.

3) Yes.

adam and eve probly didnt exist. just based on evolution and prehistoric remains id say more than 2 were the originals

All religions are equal. They are all equally correct, and equally wrong.

Well, that's a view...of course not supported by any evidence whatsoever. But a view.

Nah, the burden of proof isn't on evolutionary biologists that back their sh*t up, it's on internet posters that decide Adam and Eve were real people and the Book of Genesis is literal fact....which is an opinion that has long since been thrown out the window by all but the most extreme and stubborn Christian sects.

Also, I want to hit everything in Bardock's sig...especially the 2nd girl. Looks like that hot chick from "How I Met Your Mother".

The idea that one or more religion is more corrected then any other is also a view with no evidence. My view is more reasonable, and will not cause any wars.

How? The only reasoning I would see is that the universe we life in is so complicated that it is extremely unlikely any of the religions got it right, so they are all equally incorrect. But to assume that two Religions that say extremely opposing things are bot correct similarly (not incorrect) is not very reasonable to me. It seems to contradict most things we can observe in the world actually.
