When certain religions claim they are right

What happens when certain religions, even denominations within a religion, claim that only their way of understanding their beliefs is correct and that all other ways are wrong? It would be greater if all religions would work together for a better world instead of quarreling and killing one another over beliefs. It's a waste.

cyd,

2+1 will give you only one correct answer.

in similar fashion, no two contradictory positions can be both right.

so if you are correct that all religions are the same, then I am wrong if I answer that they are not.

we cannot be both right, can we?

of course contradictory position can be right, as long as it fits your beliefs. Religion without a 'proven' deity could be a verbal history carried between tribes that has been modified to suit local circumstances, and hence it may be one story (my view). what ever a persons beliefs, that does not mean anyone has to fight or argue

let’s put it this way. I say 2+1 = 4.

tell me now if we can be both right that 2+1 = 4 and at the same time 2+1 is not 4 but something else

2+1 = 3, in base 10. It is purely the convention that I and many others use. You can teach a computer to display 4 instead of 3, and as long as the understanding by all parties is that is the best answer, then it dosen't matter, what the outward display is, it is the belief underlying it

3 and 4 are two different figures representing two distinct numbers. 3 cannot be 4 and 4 cannot be 3.

but for the sake of argument, let's use 4 to represent 3 and 3 to represent 4, therefore making the sum of 2&1 4.

however, this time i say the answer is not 4 but 2, can we be both right?

by your logic, we cannot both be right, because when we reached an agreement, you changed the position. So i will leave you to play non logic games, as its obvious that we cannot share the same view of the universe. No longer my problem

but isnt it you who changed the position by saying that 3 can be 4 when you very well know that we're using the same convention rules which says 2 & 1 is 3 and not 4, just to avoid my question?

mole,

you have a bigger problem.

you acknowledged that there exists laws and standards which govern a person's actions or behaviour.

when you have laws, you ought to operate or live within its limits. otherwise, you may be brought to court for breaking the law, which is not right.

right or not?

After the story of the flood, there is a section in the Torah which lays out the requirements for non-Jews to get to Paradise. They are considerably less complicated and demanding than those for Jews.

Why is it that its mostly the 'religion' that causes more frictions.....although all religions claim to be for human harmony.
