    Your logic is flawed. As Anonymous_ pointed out, just because people disagree on something does not mean that both/all parties are wrong. If this were the case, then we would have to invalidate the court system because the defense and prosecution/plantif usually disagree on the particulars of the case. So, using your logic neither one of them could possibly be right.

    Again as Anonymous_ pointed out, when you have people who disagree on something, then all that you can say logically is that they can't all be entirely right. This statement does not preclude the possibilities that they could all be entirely wrong, partially right, or that one of them could be entirely right. All it means that that the can't all be entirely right.

    I do not necessarily think that either religion has to be wrong. I simply see religions as holding separate pieces of an vastly complex puzzle - the extent of which we do not fully understand. So, there are certainly religions where people believe that many religions can be correct.

    Now, many religions can claim to be the "only" path (as I know, there are only two: Christianity and Islam...Judiasm only reflects the relationship between the Nation of Israel and their God, and is mostly silent on other peoples) one or both must be wrong. However, one invalid claim (the claim to the exclusive path) does not invalidate the entire theology of the religion. Put another way, a flat tire doesn't mean that my car is junk.

    The more religions, the more chances for larger percentage of the humankind to find faith and peace. People are different and different religions find expressions of their differences. To believe in one and only one Universal Truth leads to fanatism and destruction. Usually fanatics are tools in the hands of unholy masters for very unholy purposes.

    The religion that professes to have the whole truth is always the one that doesn't have it. Using a process of elimination a person could end up with God minus religion. In this way that same person could remove man-made inventive religious barriers and would move nearer to the Almighty. At the very least it would be between you and God and not the so-called wise ones who repeatedly claim that they are all knowing. Upon observation all religions want control but a few courageous souls willingly give all control to God.

    Well, from one Anonymous_ to another "Anonymous", when any two people or parties disagree, at least one is wrong, and it is possible that both can be wrong.

    But that doesn't nullify all religions. Mathematically, though, it would nullify most, since most disagree with the others.

    Then there is the possibility that there are common denominators of belief among various religions, which are truth.

    This is a broad question, so this is a broad answer.

    All that is good and of benefit to all is included in small parts of most religions. If you add them up and follow them then that might be a good religion to follow. But mostly religions are social control mechanisms to keep wolves full and keep the people emptying their pockets.

    When reality sets in after comprehension of who He is, religion is nullified. No need after the test is done. The only religion needed is a daily decision to be present and ready to serve fellow man. But I am a dreamer. And all there is to know about God is we are nothing without Him. That's all. How can we not agree that without light there is nothing.
    Do we assume religion is the only rep. of Him? Everybody is a reflection of Him. How much of Him is allowed to travel in us? Is there darkness inside? bring upon a nullification. nullify that mumbo jumbo. just don't overlook the truth's of it ALL.

    No. Two kids arguing about kid stuff, does not make either one or the other right. They could and probably are both wrong, in all likelihood. This does not mean, however, that there is not an ultimate truth to their wrangling.

    Not necessarily. Yet since we're not going to find out until after we die, do we find out for sure which one is correct.
