    that is what religions in the world are. they are creations of different geographic regions, different cultures, the true greatest work of mankind. they lead us to the place we wish to be, in their case, eternal happiness with our creator. and they serve another perpose than just showing us the way.religions pass on the true teachings of our god.they are the true teachers of diversity and acceptance. instead of hating or judging someone for their religion, and trying to convert them to your way, find the awe you should feel in the knowledge that even tho they are from a lifetime away, they still believe the same principle as you; there is something greater. That is the true miricle of God.

    BTW this is directed towards the "Narrow or Close Minded"...

    Surprisingly enough if you say that Jewish people are going to hell then what does that make the christian...the Jewish people are what you come from! And to say that Islamics are going to hell well they believe in Jesus...they also follow the Old testament along with the Qur'an...Hindus practice peace and harmony...as so do Buddists...they believe in ONE CREATOR...IF YOU ARE NARROW MINDED...take a World Religions class...get over yourself and open up...trust me the devil won't get you!

    Jesus was a Jewish Rabbi...he taught that every man and woman are children of God and that there should be peace...If he were to come back today he would probably be upset at all of the people who believe in him, that are very close minded and prejudice...

    The people who don't want to admit another religion may be right, don't do so to keep themselves from looking like they are wrong...NO religion is the RIGHT AND JUST religion, EVERY RELIGION IS RIGHT...If you take every religion into account they have similarities...Communities, Belief System, Rituals, Ethics, and things they hold sacred...religions who don't believe in Jesus Christ don't do so because there were a lot of religions already established at that point...by saying they must change what they believe to satisfy is unheard of and is CLOSE MINDED...

    And who is to say who will go to heaven or hell...its no one who resides on earth...only G-D has the right to judge ANYONE not joe schmo down the road...And G-D is a forgiving being...if you repent and ask for forgiveness does it not say he will forgive...and by saying G-D will not love you if you are not christian is INDEED breaking the 3rd commandment...Deuteronomy 5:11 "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold [him] guiltless that taketh his name in vain."...That doesn't only mean saying GOD Da... or any other obscenity it also means saying that you know what HIS plan is for that person or persons...So if you are such a GOOD CHRISTIAN why don't you follow the 10 commandments as do other religions before you and Not put yourself so high up on a pedestal...Only G-D can be put on a pedestal and he HIMSELF is the only one that can judge...

    Oh by the way this is all coming from a person whos been through Christianity, Catholicism, and Judaism...I now am agnostic...But I believe there is a higher being...I don't care what you have to say, so please save your thoughts and prejudice teachings to yourself...And I will not need your prayers because You do not know my relationship with G-D

    I have a few comments to make to some of the above statements:
    actually it does say in the bible that if we ask Jesus/GGod for forgiveness. that's the whole purpose of Jesus' death. otherwise it would have said Jesus died died for man's sins "maybe".
    syaing GD is not taking the Gods name in vain. God's name is Jehova(spelling) so saying JD would count> at least thatr's my intrepretation.
    you don't have to be a christian to be close-minded, just go to college and take a class and you'll find that out quick.
    have a nice day
