World's best religion

Which one is it and why?

This is based on an assumption that the poster will give opinion based on true knowledge of the religion, its scripture/authentic books etc. regardless of the actions of its followers and evidence supporting it.

Just be honest.

Re: World's best religion

It depends on what you mean by "best."

I truly believe that Islam is the best religion in terms of spiritiual gain and gain in the hereafter, mainly because of the words revelealed by God in the Quran.

However, in terms of a religion for this world - athiesm seems the best. There are no rules or regulations to follow :)

WaSalaam

Re: World's best religion

Well, let me clarify one thing.

True comparison of the religion itself by its scripture/religious books can be the part of discussion.

Re: World’s best religion

Aethism is NOT by definition a religion. Its a way of life some people adopt stating that there is no supernatural power.

Religion definition:

Re: World's best religion

Okay...now first you tell me, which religion is the best and why?

Re: World's best religion

I don't think it is a right question "which one is best".... of course the religion one follows is "best otherwise why would he follow it, no? The question also gives rise to flames to prove others "inferior" while proving one's religion as "best".

Re: World's best religion

exactly...my point. now close this thread. if it cannot be closed, then i want my question to be answered by deedawar. i will tell my opinion, later.

Re: World's best religion

Exactly my intention not to cause flame.

The answer will reveal what is the reason one follows his/her religion (and why someone not follows other religion and perhaps may somehow likes a portion of other religion better).

Is that too much to ask or guppies will be afraid of mentioning truth?

Lets define best: One which the poster feels is better than other one....!!

Re: World's best religion

mentioning "truth".....truth of one person will simply defy the other. which will only result in fighting, eventhough your intention was not to cause any damage.

what does this mean?. you want everyone to present their religion, the way they feel about it. If yes, you start first. I will tell about hinduism i.e, my religion later.

Re: World's best religion

Hinduism. Because that is the only way, I can experience God when I am alive.

Re: World’s best religion

Thank you for asking about my religion.
In Islam, I can not lie otherwise I will go to hell.
Also, in Islam, we have everything preserved so if I lie, you can go and verify your ownself.

I will suggest you to watch the following video:

Re: World’s best religion

See there, thats what causes one to put down the other one IMO. I think it’d have been better to ask >>>> why you follow the religion you do? <<<< this wouldn’t require to put down other religions.

Re: World's best religion

why some people are afraid of talking about "best religion'..........do they think that they can't proove thier religion is the best or are they afraid of accepting the truth?
I think there is nothing wrong with starting this topic as long as you think you are on the right side that no one can beat you.............

Re: World's best religion

Well, like I said and still say it. be honest and thats all.
Its not insecurity to ask question.

There are many reasons one follows his/her religion.
Most important is that one feels his/her religion is the best among all.
So why one feels that his/her religion is the best?
A simple question with expected simple and valid answers.
You may not want to say why you don't follow other religion to avoid conflict....if you like.

Now if someone give counter argument then it can be a problem but we are not kids are we? Don't fight! Just read and learn and if need clarification then please ask mature question.

Re: World’s best religion

This is the best religion!
It’s at least as good as all the other religions/ways of life/complete guides for living.

Re: World's best religion

do you really believe in it?

Re: World’s best religion

If this one has followings you never know that minority may feel that its the best… :slight_smile:

Re: World's best religion

i think i'll more or less end my participation in this illogical thread by quoting the one and only father of modern science...Albert Einstein
"I see only with deep regret that God punishes so many of His children for their numerous stupidities, for which only He Himself can be held responsible; in my opinion, only His nonexistence could excuse Him."

Re: World's best religion

I've tried to clean up this thread. If anyone feels that I've removed a post that was directly answering the question asked, then PM me and I'll take a look into it.

Aside from that, literally almost all threads in Religion forum can create a stir. We've had threads discussing highly volatile and conflicting issues and topics, but most posters decided to remain sensible and participate in an appropriate manner. Consequently such discussions continued till they died out on their own.

I think we can all present our views and justifications here in a civil manner without bashing each others' beliefs. It could perhaps turn into something meaningful and interesting where memebrs can learn about each others' beliefs and reasoning for adhering to it.

Re: World's best religion

Okay....i think now i should tell why i like hinduism. The first attraction for me towards hinduism was 'for me it's a religion that came by birth'. It was only later that i became deeply interested in it's philosophy. Now i will tell why.

Let me go back 7 years or so. At that time, this very concept of "god" or this very thing called "spirituality", was not there in me. I was very happy or even arrogant or in general enjoying myself in my own self-created world. I ended up doing many mistakes. It's not that i commited a "sin"...like murder or such things. Or in short i never cared for others feelings. For me my own feelings, were important. My own feelings were important more than my friends. I was selfish and stubborn. These very mistakes led to many other mistakes. These didn't boomerang immediately. They all boomeranged all together at a time, so much so that i was bruised, hurt, and I lost complete confidence in myself. My studies were badly affected because of my own mistakes. This situation continued for quiet sometime. I was seriously looking for mental comfort. My parents were there with me. But somehow, i didn't find comfort in their presence. It was in this time that i came across something called "philosophy" . This situation made me to think deeply about every phenomenon that is there and i started relating it to whatever knowledge of philosophy that i had. I started relating my own life to philosophy. I came to know more about this "philosophy" by watching mahabharata in TV and reading some philosophical books. WHile reading them, everything that i listened or read, i started relating them to my own life. My very depression and loneliness did that. It helped me to grasp every philosophy that i came across quickly and it was giving explanation to every phenomenon including my own. In the end, it not only made me a more matured and sensible person, but it has also made me realize that there is something beyond this material world. Every human beings job is to look for it. Even i am not very much sure about that. Even if i am, i dont think i should explain it.

Whatever philosophy i spoke now, 95% of them had to do with hinduism. So, i like hinduism.

Now when i look back, everything that happened, in the end it made me to think or look differently. So, i have no regrets if i had suffered. Besides, other peoples worries are much bigger than mine. I am in a way lucky only.

Initially i didn't care whether what ever i was reading or listening was linked to hinduism. I just did it without being aware that it is hinduism's philosophy. Even now i dont want to care, but it is somewhat difficult now.

So, i have explained why i like hinduism without telling anything about hinduism.....i dont want to talk about hinduism. I am not a scholar of hinduism. But if you guys want to "fire" on hinduism, i am prepared for it.

But, I do want to share one instance from mahabharata, when yaksha asked yudhistir one of these questions, the answer which yudhistir gave, i will remember it all my life. I dont know whether it will have the same impact on you guys.

Yaksha: "what is the greatest mystery in this universe, yudhistir?".

Yusdhistir: "every man works, thinks, reads, enjoys, fights and even suffer as though he is going to live for ever. this is the greatest mystery in this world".

May be i wrote all these, thinking that i am going to live forever.
