Which Religion got it right?
June 15, 2010 at 11:05 am
Important question:
Of all the religions, which got it right?
I’d place my bets that Islam would say they got it right, the Egyptians would say they got it right, the Mormons would say they got it right, the Christians would say they got it right.
Am I right?

None of them got it right, but then I'm not even sure if I've got it right.

The one that bases all of its claims on evidence and willingly discards its beliefs when new evidence contradicts them is the one that got it 'right'; if by 'right', you mean, 'closest to the truth'.

According to my wife its spiritualism and all the others are just nonsence.
Sigh

Braden took the words out of my mouth. No one's got it right.. I would also add that those that preach fear, hate and intolerance are working in the opposite direction of truth.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

So truth is whatever warms the heart?

truth is what's provable, but the evidence should match the claim.
