my personal opinion is that no one religion is “perfect” or is “better” than any other there are bad catholics and good catholics, bad protestants and good, bad hindus and good, bad muslims and good, the list goes on. every religion has something to offer, its own salvation and people should choose the religion that best suits their individual spiritual needs. i dont think that only christians are saved, only catholics, only protestants, or only muslims or only anyone else. it all matters in how a person lives their life that determines what will happen to a person in the life to come:)
You are not alone in this thinking but you are wrong.
History is full of men who have claimed that they came from God, or that they were gods, or that they bore messages from God - Buddha, Mohammed, Confucius, Christ, Lao-tze, and thousands of others, right down to the person who founded a new religion this very day. Each of them has a right to be heard and considered. But as a yardstick external to and outside of whatever is to be measured is needed, so there must be some permanent tests available to all men, all civilizations, and all ages, by which they can decide whether any of these claimants, or all of them, are justified in their claims. These tests are of two kinds: reason and history. Reason, because everyone has it, even those without faith; history, because everyone lives in it and should know something about it.
Rreason dictates that if any one of these men actually came from God, the least thing that God could do to support His claim would be to pre-announce His coming. Automobile manufacturers tell their customers when to expect a new model. If God sent anyone from Himself, or if He came Himself with a vitally important message for all men, it would seem reasonable that He would first let men know when His messenger was coming, where He would be born, where He would live, the doctrine He would teach, the enemies He would make, the program He would adopt for the future, and the manner of His death. By the extent to which the messenger conformed with these announcements, one could judge the validity of his claims.
Reason further assures us that if God did not do this, then there would be nothing to prevent any impostor from appearing in history and saying: "I come from God," or "An angel appeared to me in the desert and gave me this message." In such cases there would be no objective, historical way of testing the messenger. We would have only his word for it, and of course he could be wrong.
If a visitor came from a foreign country to Washington and said he was a diplomat, the government would aske him for his passport and other documents testifying that he represented a certan government. His papers would have to antedate his coming. If such proofs of identity are asked from delegates of other countries, reason certainly outght to do so with messengers who claim to have come from God. To each claimant, reason says: "What record was there before you were born that you were coming?"
With this test one can evaluate the claimants. Throughout the history of the ancient world, there are records of pagans, Jews, Romans and Greeks anticipating the birth of the Messiah. The Magi of the East knew of His coming. Even the Chinese had the same expectation. A second distinguishing fact is that once He appeared, He struck history with such impact that He split it in two, dividing it into two periods: one bfore His coming, the other after it. Buddha did not do this,m nor any of the great Indian philosophers. Even those who deny God must date their attacks upon Him, AD so and so, or so many years after His coming.
A third fact separating Him from all the others is this: every other person who ever came into this world came into it to live. He came into it to die.
If He is what He claimed to be, a Savior, a Redeemer, then we have a virile Christ and a leader worth following, especially in these difficult times.
Do you really believe that? Do you really believe that, if I worshiped the moist stain on the floor beneath a urinal that it is no worse than any other religion?
