hey all, 😊

Since all human beings BELIEVE only in one God who created the earth and universe and heaven and hell. So why there are soo many ways of beliefs and religion in todays world, which have been through from generations. God do not EVER want to confuse humans after the creations of the living things, who came one BY ONE like first monsters then dinosaurs and then humans. OR the Aliens may ARRIVE in future. Who knows ? Its presumed though today.So i think God only beliefs and way of worship is one way and so should be in ONE.

I think the answer itself lies within your question. While there can only be ONE truth in the universe, people's different beliefs regarding the truth results in different perceptions of the same truth...and thus the formation of different religions.

And for the record, I dont think there ever can be or should be just one way of worshiping God. Every person is entitled to their own personal level of connection with God. Some people may attain that connection by singing hymns, sitting in a pew in a church, others like me, attain it simply through being in the midst of nature. I think if we were to impose just one method of worship, we would attain an overall uniformity of religions but lose the spirituality that is at the heart of every religion.

So why there are soo many ways of beliefs and religion in todays world, which have been through from generations.every religion thinks they have got it the right way, implying others have gotten it the wrong way

That is the problem, what you think is what you consider to be right, and so do a lot of people, that starts the debate😉

Yes I believe that there is one God and most of our beliefs are similar. But different people have different ways of reaching that GOD... and hence the different religions...

Being a hindu I have certain way of reaching God which over the years has come to seem to me to be the best way to reach GOD...

personally I think everyone has an individual religion...like yes I am a hindu and I follow some beliefs but some of my beliefs are my own too... what seems right to me...

and I strongly believe that it is no one's business interfering with such personal matters...and all this promoting or condemning of religions should be banned adn such ppl should be slaughtered LOL!

No but seriously .. it's sad to know that some of the largest conflicts have risen due to religion ...and if we want peace and love... we need to learn to respect each other's religions!

It is like the six blind men and the elephant. Each believed what he saw to be the absolute truth. Every human looks at the same thing in different perspective. The conflict is simply because most of us never really grow up to appreciate the diversity of perspective.

Actually everybody knows God doesnt exist so they try to use diversionary tactics through various religons and associated faith stories, fables and rituals... etc...and try to convincing every new being entering teh world that ttheir God is the only one...It's just a game playing of community ego..... Sad but true...😊

First off. Not "all humans" believe in God or a higher being (whatever you'd like to call it). For those who do believe, we all have our reasons as to why we do so. Along with that, not everyone has the same view of God (as various others have pointed out already). We all have our own perception of What/Who God is. And as people are different, our perceptions of that being is different.

I suppose conflicts really comes in when one religion, deems it appropriate to tell others that theirs is the "one true religion". Which just isn't so, and should never be done. As I mentioned above, people are different, we all have our own views. Whether our own set of beliefs are "true" or not is simply not something we know and thus one certainly has no right to push those beliefs on others as being so. It'll never work, people have been trying for centuries. It just doesn't work, and it never will… unless everyone of us suddenly starts believing in the same exact things.

As long as one is not doing harm to other human beings (which the majority of us, whether we are theists, polytheists or atheists all agree on), in my opinion, it's a private matter, really.

I think one religion per region should be imposed at least. 😊
