Christianity is the best religion because it derives from Judaism, the religion through which God guided the ancient Israelites. --Ed Poor 06:36, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

By this logic, why isn't Judaism the best religion? --Jeremiah4-22 09:05, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

There are only two kinds of religion: The true one and the false ones. As a Christian, I beleive that christianity is the true one and is therefore superior. --BenjaminS 08:27, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

Everyone believes their religion is true. Therein lies the conflict. Czolgolz 08:53, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
The true one and the false ones. - Even God doesn't say that. He never denies the reality of other Gods, He only commands that you should worship and call upon only Him (and punishes those who do not). (See: Exodus 20:3, Exodus 23:13, Deuteronomy 6:13, Judges 10:13 etc, etc, etc.) --Jeremiah4-22 09:05, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
"Even God Doesn't say that....". You need to look a little closer at the Bible before you make statements like yours above. (See: 1 Corinthians 8:4 - "Therefore concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know that there is no such thing as an idol in the world, and that there is no God but one."

God doesn't say that, it is Paul who says that. How can we accept this statement when it contradicts God's own word? (Exodus 20:3 - The First Commandment) Are you suggesting that Paul's word is more authoritative than God's?

No

  • That's like asking which piece of fiction is better than any other - it's personal perference. If, like me, you are an atheist, then they are all equally poor. --Cgday 06:49, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
  • Stating that one religion is superior to others directly leads to religion-based wars and oppression of other opinions.

You know, the only true difference between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam is a sharp disagreement over who God’s last true prophet was. If you are a Jew, it is one of those Old Testament dudes. If you are a Christian, it was Jesus Christ, if you are a Muslim, Mohammed was the last true prophet. I’m not counting all the other offshoots of the major religions of course. For example, I think the Mormons would consider Joseph Smith a prophet, whereas other Christian denominations do not. Dw1237200

I afree with Cgday. That's like arguing if the cat and the hat is better then hop on pop. Both are in the same catagory, but its all a matter of opinion. AtheistKathryn 23:27, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

I am an Athiest but I see Judaism as the most respectable monotheistic religion, as it is the orginal monotheistic religion from which Christianity and Islam branched. Judaism seems to also be more believable... saying Jesus was the son of God is like saying Ghandi was the son of God. Sure, he was a good person but he wasn't divine.
--Helios 23:13, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

No, God is beyond the comprehension of man and thus beyond the scope of any one religious doctrine or organization. God reveals his mysteries to us in many ways. Everwill 14:19, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

Is the Truth superior to fiction?

When you go before your Creator I think then you will know the answer to that question. Or instead of just posting baiting questions here you actually go on a personal journey to find out for yourself.--Roopilots6 20:51, 18 April 2007 (EDT)
