Every religion claims to be a "true" religion

Believe confucianism has been widely regarded as the east's version of humanism. It's missing some things that are pretty central to other religions (and is a psuedo-religion itself, like buddhism). One of those issues where east meets west, and the traditions and words we've created to describe our own are not exactly up to the task of describing theirs. Confucianism does make claims to truth, and does hold it's "prophet" up as an "ultimate example".
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Confucianism does make claims to truth, and does hold it's "prophet" up as an "ultimate example". I've noticed this common trend among the eastern religions that rather than being strictly religions, they often blur the line between religion, philosophy and a way of life. It seems like it is quite possible to be a Hindu, a Buddhist, a Confucianist or a Jain without believing in the mythology or the lore but simply following the principles. Is it because of some cultural psychology particular to the East or is it because the term "religion" itself is a Western word unable to completely divorce itself from Abrahamic religions. For example, in my native language, we do not have a word for religion. The closest translation is "Dharma" which means "that which upholds, supports or maintains the regulatory order of the universe". RE: Islam true religion?

Probably a bit of both. A bit like trying to describe an animal exclusive to where you were raised to a person who speaks a different language.

Has Zakir left the forum already? If not, I suggest a thread, maybe in the debate section, between Zakir and Godschild. Would be fun seeing them going for each other's throat; and a nice break from the usual debate between atheists and theists.
Even with all his absurdity, I think Zakir has managed to bring down GC in only a few posts... 
Nah he is a fake like his religion... what a fucking joke of humanity he is.
