In my opinion yes. But everyone has different views. I try to live my life based on the bible. Because it is the only book we have from any gods that was not written by man.
-
Yes many of them. To every person their religion or beliefs are the one true religion. In my opinion that is fine, everyone has a right to their own beliefs.
-
All religions exist,but I don't think that they are based on what truth is.Truth is subjective to each person and a religion is too general and not valid for many people.

A straightforward and honest answer? If the Creator of the universe likes order, as his creation indicates, then you would believe that he expects mankind to worship him in an approved, organized manner. He makes the rules. The world has fragmented into many, many, man made belief systems, and look at the result.

Perhaps. You'd think that most Christians would say Christianity, Muslims would say Islam etc. I think a few religious people feel that there are various paths through different religions which can lead to salvation. Maybe one of the modern popular religions is the only true one. On the other hand it could be a long forgotten little-known religion. Or possibly there is no true religion as such. A lot would certainly depend on the nature of the deity or deities (if there are such beings) and how these higher powers dictated the running of the universe. Personally, I haven't seen any evidence or had any particular 'feeling' that suggests the outright truth of any particular religion although I'm sure many individuals will be quick to put forward their personal faith (which makes sense if you think about it). In any case, asserting that your own religion is the true religion to those of different faiths isn't going to win you any favours and isn't a particularly effective form of evangelism outright.

According to South Park... it is Mormon.
-
Yes, God is in all of us, whether we know it or not
-
I don't think there can be one true religion, as religion is largely the creation of man and his interpretation of God's desires. There may be one universal truth out there, but I suspect there are a lot of paths leading to it.

According to South Park yes there is. The correct answer would be Mormon. lol Pick a religion and ask people of that religion and they will tell you that yes there is only one - and that is the religion they are part of. My personal Path (religion/spiritual belief) considers the whole world and examines "What is God?" and "How does God manifest on Earth?" I note for one thing on the 6 inhabited continents there are around 200 nations. I also note that presently there are about that many languages being spoken. I also note that people favor different types of food, music, style of building, style of clothing based more on where they live than what they like. Even in the USA where we have lots of "freedom" people tend to follow the conventions and styles of the current culture. I also look at the incredible diversity of the physical in our species - this goes beyond just skin color - I'm talking about how few people look exactly alike (there are a few exceptions). Humans come in all shapes and sizes each beautiful in his/her uniqueness and worthy of love of any Creator Being. I suspect that there is no coincidence that Hindus have their holy People who speak of the Hindu Gods, and that the Asians had Buddha and Confucius, and that Muslims have Mohammad and that the Jews had moses. (I'm leaving Jesus out of this this time). Each Holy speaker of God/Allah/Visnu/Ozma whatever not only spoke to the people in the language that was common for the area but also taught in forms which are culturally understood by those people. That makes a lot more sense than sending one person to learn all of those languages and cultures and teach each and every single person "one path" which in many cases do not apply to the culture in question can not be applied - well not without ripping that culture apart. If we hold that the Creator of All Things Created all people - then we must consider that the Creator likes diversity - no LOVES diversity. If it wasn't so then we would all be one uniform shade of gray, all the same height, all the same weight - indistinguishable from each other without uniqueness. There are, in general and broad terms, commonalities in the religions, such as Rules of Conduct (Morals) Such as placing importance in the "spirit" side of self, such as holding a higher Power in reverence. Granted the language is not the same, and yes different cultures do express these things differently. Ultimately the question of one TRUE religion boils down to the person you are addressing. I believe that God speaks to individuals and leads individuals down many paths. There is an old saying "all roads lead to Rome" - I suspect that "all paths lead to God" also applies.

Kind of. The Catholic Church believes that the Holy Spirit is leading her toward the fullness of truth. The Church today is truer today than she was 1,000 years ago. She will be truer in 1,000 years than she is today. The Catholic Church teaches: + About non-Catholic Christian religions: Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements. Christ's Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church. All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him. + About Judaism: "The Jewish faith, unlike other non-Christian religions, is already a response to God's revelation in the Old Covenant. To the Jews "belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ"; "for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable. + About Islam: The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day. + About other non-Christian religions: All nations form but one community. This is so because all stem from the one stock which God created to people the entire earth, and also because all share a common destiny, namely God. His providence, evident goodness, and saving designs extend to all against the day when the elect are gathered together in the holy city. For more information, see: + Nostra Aetate, the Declaration on the Relation of the church to Non-Christian Religions: http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decl_19651028_nostra-aetate_en.html + The Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 819 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt1sect2chpt3art9p3.htm#819 With love in Christ.

Isn't that an oximoron? True is provable. Religion is not provable.
