Why In The World Are There SO Many Religions? (Why Can't It Just Be One?)

[SirReginald]

THIS IS NOT A RELIGION BASHING THREAD

As you may know I have a meeting with a rabbi. I called a Buddhist teacher too, but they never returned my call My parents think I'm crazy for setting up a meeting with a rabbi. It already sucks when your mothers nags you to go to church. When she in't a practicing Christian herself I always wondered why there isn't ONE religion. All these different religions are confusing as hell How can all these religions have a different interpreter? Why couldn't it just be one? How did these others come about? They should all merge together or something. I I....................................

because theyre cultural phenomenons where each culture made up their own story, like foods and music

none of them are real

Just create your own belief system., you may borrow from existing faiths. Follow it, be happy and die with peace.

Because different people from different places think differently


Also people like to have their own view of something and not follow along with the rest, to which is why we have all these different abrahamic religions and all the different sects within them

Different languages.
Different variants of the same languages.
People understood that people's outlooks on life may change from time to time.

In other words, there are so many religions because people are not gonna control themselves.
Someone has to do it.
Ya dig?

Why isn't there one language? One culture? One style of music?

The lure of assuming power and control over 7.5 billion people is irresistible

Seems plausible

because diversity is a life

i think religions, excluding the europeanized, are quite interesting and sometimes hold somewhat plausible ideals, they just are of a different interpretation being from different parts of the world
ones like voodoo, buddhism, muslim, hinduism and the ancient practices of egypt and people in south america are just really cool to learn about if you're detached from the beliefs

Different people understand God in different ways.

 

[beaniemac]

cuz if there was only one religion, then that would eliminate 99% of all wars.

Each society has unique ethical and moral standards and religion is a way to codify them and to ensure these standards are met and followed
