I think it is safe to say that since the beginning of time we humans have butchered over one billion or two fellow species in the name of Religion. Just curios to know what religion means to you? And why we have this Urge to kill members of different religious groups. Why so much hatred against someone who doesn’t follow the same path as yours?
If one Religion is the True religion, why is that if you have true faith and believe and no matter what religion you are in (you can be a Muslim, Christian, Jew, Hindu , Buddhist etc) you get your prayers answered, you wishes does come true and you do witness Miracles around you.
If assuming one religion is true religion, why you believe God have chosen to answer the prayers of those non believers equally. If God has chosen to listen prayers of believers and non believers equally, then why is that we have have problems most of the time with non believers. Why can’t we stop this Hatred? Why can’t we get along? Why Can’t we stop this Killings in the name of GOD.
What makes you think the religion you follow is the Right one assuming you just know a tiny little bit about other religious faiths and all of your sources of knowledge comes from the people who have same faith as you. Also most likely you belong to a particular religion because your parents, grand parents and great great grand parents followed it. Just because your ancestors followed the specific religion, is it a proof enough that you are following the right path?

For me: Whatever I read in Quran makes sense to me. Whatever I read in ahaadeeth for the time ahead, I have been witnessing it and waiting for the greater signs. Whenever I come to the ayah "Wallaho Khair ul Maakireen" -- I see my whole entire life circling around the very existance of it. When I treat life as a test from my Lord, I feel peace inside my heart for verily in the rememberance of God, do hearts find tranquality.
Quasi, there is one truth. Truth can only be one. BUt the paths to it are different and all valid (religions). How you wish to reach that truth, call it god, call it profundity call itenergy or the source , whatever it is..it is the universal truth and the ways to get to it are many.
Christians, muslims, hindus, buddhsts, athiests, tikisits, are all searching for the same thing...anyone who thinks there is a singular path is obviously mistaken considerin profundity or the universal truth is just that universal.
3:19 The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will): Nor did the People of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah, Allah is swift in calling to account.
Quasi, most adherents of a faith are usually born into that. It is not a choice. IN some faiths questioning the validity can get you killed, so people usually use circular logic to create absolutism thus shunning intellectual and spiritual growth. Those that can break away from such shackles, be they christians, hindus, muslims etc..are well on their way to looking at the world through a much cleaner and wider spectrum than the narrow constricting one. Remember, truth, if that is what god is, should set you freenot keep you trapped in practices and ways that have no place in an ever evolving world.

It is all part of greater GAME PLAN set by God almighty.
Religion is just and excuse as there is nationality and race.
Both hate and hamanity are characteristic of human nature. Extreemist kill other innocent people because of hate and on the other hand humanitarians save lives of dying innocent people just for the sake of humanity

Millions of years ago 2 individuals come to Planet earth from another Planet thousands of years away from Earth. They found people living on earth in utmost peace. these 2 individuals, One was called God and the other one was Satan, decided to have fun by disturbing the order of things on our planet. What best way to disturb the peace than puting people against each other and that is what they did. The game was, who control the majority of people. And it seems that Satan is winning the game.
