if all religions lead to the GOD who is one then why people fight for the religion?

Great question. I think they saying they are fighting for their religion when in fact they are fighting for something else which is usually something to improve their economy.

Wouldn't it be great if there were smarter questions than this one?\n\nNo, not everyone believes in God. By having one religion will only lead to conflict and suffering. There will always be people with different beliefs and/or non-beliefs. Having one religion for over 6 billion people is crazy. Grow up.

but but ... you list social woes while most religious folks clutch onto religion as a personal life raft.  whatever heinous actions are made in the name of their religion matters not.  it's the personal comfort they get from believing they're safe from their deity's wrath and the feeling of being special and a part of something bigger than themselves that cements their dependence on their religion. besides, the woes of the world created by religion are always blamed on an Evil One and evil doers.

A very good question.\nThere are several questions within your one. \nI believe: ( through research and not belonging to any one religion)\n\nReligions define God by a name which is inherent in the human mind to tag something to understand it( tree, dog, human).  With the understanding of infinite thought and probabilities the One religions refer to is the same God.  The Source.  The source of light, dark and all existence.  This is one entity or energy.  \n\nThe paths we as humans choose to find this source is our differing religions each with their merits and flaws.  We seek the same source.  Eventually. \n\nThe Source is no 'man' or 'woman' sitting on a throne being wise, judge mental and all knowing it (It) is simply everything.  That was, will be, is or may be.  It is the fabric which which binds everything.  Before man began to categories or define it.\n\nThe second question within yours hints at the 'prophets' question of the being the only way to the Source. Jesus, Mohamed, Quetzalcoatl, Buddha etc. (note we are speaking only of the prophets of Light) each proclaim that their way is their path God. The ultimate source.\n\nHumans are different in their perceptions of everything so it is reasonable that God would have conceived of different paths to reach the One, ie enlightenment.

people dont h8 on the ground of religion.  it is simply that certain individuals who enjoy hating others on the ground of difference use religion as a vehicle for their hate.  even if there were no religions, these individuals would find another vehicle to express their hate.\n\nconversely,there are a lot of religious/spiritual people who use their beliefs to promote love and tolerance of difference in others, and they remember that we are arl human, each of us with an equal right to an opinion.  truly religious folk make an effort to make life better for humanity and arl living things.  if there is a god of love, am sure he wants us to look after his creation, and not be divisive for the sake of it.

Religion is a path to spiritual enlightenment, not a weapon. Those who use their religion as a sword, shall be cut by their own word.\n\nPlus there are people out there like that man, who are so focused on believing that their religion is the only correct one, that they go out of their way to make enemies out of those who do not follow their religion. I've met a few people like this, and honestly, the world needs less of them.

Hey, can I start by raising the term Agnostic?  You know, if we got all the atheists and agnostics together we would probably out number all the religions in the world.  We could probably turn them into the quiet, life living people that we are.  It seems we are the only group of people that aren't trying to change everyone elses mind.  Why do the religious types have to go to the point of harrasment?  Religions only exist because all of us allow them to have their own oppinion.  I like to think we lead by example.

I think each religion is a way for people to make sense out of their lives. It's a way to find purpose or meaning for the things they do each day. I don't believe there is any one correct religion. And I doubt that God (howeer God is defined) looks upon earth and decides that he likes some of us better than others simply because of the way he is worshipped. (I'm using "he" only as a convenient word.) In fact, I believe that God does not particularly appreciate it when people use hatred against each other simply because of a difference in religious practice. As Buddha said, "There are many paths to the top of the mountain."

I think all religions want everyone to believe in their religion.

well it's all connected with history, and when jesus walked the earth, and when god would talk to prophets to deliver his message to the people. the reason why there are so many religions is because with time people have decided to go their own way and come up with what they think the RIGHT religion should be, but in reality there is only one, and that's CHRISTIANITY.

I've often asked the same question. I suppose religion feeds our sense of spirituality and gives us "answers" to what happens to us after we die. But I think religion has caused, and will continue to cause, wars and other trouble. People should try setting aside their differences in religion and just work together. Besides, I think that religion is personal. It's what you personally believe. And atheists don't cause hatred, the term simply means they do not believe in any god whatsoever, that when you die, that's it. And I dislike those who always try to convert others. Just let people make up their own idea.

As a Christian, I believe that there are no religions (other than Christianity) are of God.  Any religion that is not of God is leading people away from God.  There is no good in it.

Because most people would not agree that we are all the children of *one* God.  They'd say we are all children of different Gods, and that makes some of us superior to others, saying "my God is better than your God."  Don't remember who said it, but there is the quote "Ideologies separate us.  Dreams and anguish bring us together."

The One is the "one" you were raised;but this does not mean its THE ONE. The basic message of all religions is the suppression of the ego and to serve  the others."Be what you are meant to be",circumstances and biology aside.

A just god wouldn't, but when people invent gods they usually want other people to believe in them so there has to be an element of coercion, you see...

yes, yes it is. i've thought long and hard about religion and people use it for fcukd up things. Faith in a god is cool, but religion just seperates people even more. Certain muslims use it to wage war on others, christians have used it to become wealthy and gain political control e.g. catholic church, spain, General Franco.\n\nIt seems to me that all the religions are more or less the same, christianity came from islam and judaism, but yet people will give their LIVES to show their allegience to their particular group. If anything, be faithful, believe in a supreme being, but don't make out yours is better than anyone elses - well i guess we'll all find out eventually.

No. Because then there would be sects within that religion. One group wouldn't like how another worships...then one group will think another isn't devout enough. Then, bammo! War. Again. Still. sigh.\nReligion only leads to war because of human beings.\nPeople are the root of war. Not any one religion.
