text: how do you reconcile the existence of other religions with your own beliefs? even even christianity, which has the largest following of any religion, claims only 1/3 of the world.  this means that 2/3 of the world disagrees!  how do you reconcile in your own mind the fact that there is a huge range of beliefs?  there is more than one religion, even, that claims to be the one true religion.  how do you explain that, and how do your own beliefs support that explanation?  even athiests are not excused from the question, since most of the world believes in some concept of god and/or life after death. religious conviction -------------- i am christian i believe in god i am one with him i believe in heaven and hell -------------- i am jewish i believe in god i am one with prayer i believe our savior is still coming ------------- i am hindu i believe in many gods i am one with my eternal soul i believe that all religions lead to the same path but in different ways ------------- i am buddhist i believe in reincarnation i am without desire in my life i believe in meditation to reach enlightenment ------------ i am muslim i believe in prayer i am with the all mighty allah i believe in the five pillars of muhammad ------------ i am atheist i believe in nothing i am one for anything i believe that im in control of my own destiny ------------- i am satanist i believe in pleasure i am one with fulfillment i believe all my pleasure should be granted ------------- i am wiccan i believe in nature i am one with the elements around me i believe we are all connected and bound together by energy,  i am unitarian i believe in faith i am one with all things i believe we all can live in happiness through love  the above post was not mine it was from a spiritual group.    by keeping an open mind and heart, if we're all living here on earth and most of the messages coming from the spirit are of love and peace and awareness, then why argue? what if they're all right? then we have a collective melting pot with no finger pointing.   a-frickin'-mazing
