If 200 billion believe a certain specific philosophy (religion), that
doesn't mean that they are right.
If only one person believes another philosophy, that doesn't mean that
he is wrong.
In the end, there can only be one truth... an absolute truth that exists
no matter who believes what. To use the most basic truth there is as an
example: It doesn't matter if a believing individual believes if God exists,
or an athiest believes that God does NOT exist at all. The ABSOLUTE truth is
that God either exists or he doesn't. Only one of those two beliefs can be
correct so whichever is true, that makes the other a false belief. Each of
us should hope that we choose our belief carefully. It's probably safer to
choose to believe and be wrong than to choose not to believe and be wrong.
Once you've chosen one of those basic beliefs, then, if you believe in
God's existence, the same criteria applies to all of the individual beliefs
that make up any of the religions on the earth. Again, and this is
important, choose carefully.
If you believe in God, and you then believe that that God wants you to
go kill other people (as Muslims do), then I hope to God that you have
chosen your belief correctly. But just because you believe that killing
others is the "will of God", that doesn't mean that it is true. There is a
certain "common sense" that would suggest that no God would will beings of
His creation to kill others for the reasons that Muslims state. (If you
aren't Muslim, we kill you!) After all, the one common thread of all
philosophies is that each person is free to choose his own path, even if
that path is wrong. Those who choose wrong are to be dealt with directly by
their Creator at the proper time, not by a bunch of ****ants who operate at
a kindergarten level of thought and purpose.
You people talk like any and all religions are just flavors of the day
but in the end, there will be only one truth, and we will all (individually)
have to accept the consequences of our choice. This means that those who
have chosen their path carefully don't give a **** about what others think
of them, right or wrong (as evidenced by murderous Muslims who will keep
killing until they are killed). But isn't that why we're here?... to make
(free) choices and to then answer for those choices later?

Choosing carefully,

As for the psuedo patriots, I bet the Canadians get quite a chuckle. I
know I do;-)

Aye, we do ;-)

With listeners thinking all American's are Christians like the preaching
crackpots on SW, non-Christian religions are having their folds increase
at a dramatic rate.
