Which Religion got it right?
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? |

Perspective goes a long way to finding some acceptance.

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

RE: Which Religion 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'.

Never trust an atom..........They make up everything.
 Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get...unless of course you look in the lid where each type of chocolate is described in detail. Life is almost completely unlike a box of chocolates..... |

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
"A lot of people are unwilling to acknowledge anything that contradicts their worldview. So telling them that it's false doesn't necessarily slow them down. That's how urban legends get started for the most case. Like the woman who supposedly put her poodle in the microwave to dry it off. And it exploded." David Mikkelson (snopes) |

RE: Which Religion got it right?
truth is what's provable, but the evidence should match the claim.
