Guess only one can be right! |

The world will eventually have one religion. And that is a sign that the end is near. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
YEP the ONE each of us choose for our own. Theologians can't agree on everything so there is no way
lay people can. Leave people to do what they will. |
| |
|

I personally think that having no religion would be ideal but since that will never happen i guess
that having only religion would truly solve most of the world problems! Great thinking! |
| |

I agree then we could all stop fighting coz of it. Well actually we should have two. One for those
who believe in nothing and one for those who believe in summa . Only prob would be that there would
prob be a load of wars in the process of picking who it is that they all follow and what rules they
are to follow. That's why i'm glad to say i play no part in religion coz i believe in none of it. To
me it is just summat that people believe in for comfort and safety and there is too much pressure on
kids of certain religious families to be religious. |

If you read the Bible, it says somewhere that Jesus Christ is all bent out of shape because people
will choose to set up different denominations of Christianity. So I think there was only supposed to
be only one religion, but when that religion didn't fit the beliefs of a few, that few broke off and
created another religion. There were religions that existed far before Christianity like Hinduism.
It would be futile to lump everyone up under one religion, but I think that's the way it was
supposed to be back in the day...for Christianity at least. |

Not sure which way to vote on this one; the only way this could happen is if the "one true" God
comes to Earth, stays awhile, and forces people to believe His way. It would probably take a few
generations and lots of miracles...
On the one hand, I agree with Character's nazi argument; on the other, I am in favor of Divinity's
concept of universal, "Unconditional LOVE" as the one true religion, because that encompasses the
best of what all religions claim to strive for (IMHO). |

Yeah and that religion is - lds - Mormon! Stop the cow believers become a god lover which there is a
god! |
| |
|

|

Just think how warm and fuzzy the whole world would be if everyone could rest easy knowing that
everyone else believed the same things that you believe...for instance, that I am God. |

It would be nice, but impossible. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes we should... It would solve a lot of conflicts in the world. However there would be even more
wars in deciding what that religion to have... That already happens in the far east but this time
major powers would get involved and it would be a disaster. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes. And that should be atheism. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |

It would solve many problems in today's world, but the holy books of many religions (the
Bible, Tanakh, etc) and their beliefs and meanings are very firmly ingrained into their respective
countries. It would be near-impossible to turn a devout Catholic to Islam, and just as difficult to
turn an Islamic believer to the Catholic faith.
This statement does look like it should be on the 'against; side, but I am for it, just mentioning
how difficult it would be, |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes,we should only believe in the true bible. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I'm going to say yes, either way it has all been created by men high on drugs. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
We should. Preferably Christianity. But, sadly, that will probably not be happening soon. |
| |

It is needed primarily to stop arguing about the religions. This word religion is much smaller in
listening to but has the power create as well destroy the whole mankind. But every one should know
that human being has created the religion, not the religion which created the human being. We must
stop making wars and killing people in the name of religious rebel. Over of all, we are firstly the
rational human beings and the dwellers in the same earth. So why should we fight against each other?
There should be a single religion exist and that is humanity. All people of this earth are nothing
but the brothers of each other. This feeling of brotherhood should be raised and only one
religion’s existence would make it possible. If there would not be any humanity, there would not
be any religion as well. |

I wish I could be on both sides here but first off.... Don't you realize "there should only be one
religion" is the banner for why wars are started? You can't get much more nazi than believing there
should only be one religion.
But i am for it because i wish so dearly it were possible. Frankly, i really don't care. Religion
isn't important to me in any fashion or sensibility. You can be a satanist and i'm cool with that,
in fact, the world could be one satanist religion and I'd be cool with that... If it helped us fund
the poor, end wars, maintain a sense of passion in a world cyclically declining into boredom.
But satanists don't think such ways. In fact, religions as a whole don't think such ways.
Religions tend to want to control things, and want to provide dictums. In essence, religions tend
to want to redefine religion. Religion is a personal connection between you and what you believe.
And i wish we could all believe this as one whole truth. And the thing is i'm pretty sure we do.
But that doesn't mean your soul doesn't have a pricetag and people will refute that which they know
is true, because there's someone out there who promises doing so is just the bee's knees. When the
truth is bees have no knees. :) |

Yes, Unconditional LOVE |

All religions are respectful and no religion ever taught war, hatred, killing, fighting etc. I
believe all religions convey the same message as follows:
1. Have a belief in the existence of a God.
2. Avoid all kinds of unethical things that could harm any living being.
3. Be honest in your deals and deeds.
4. Always help the needy.
5. Always follow the path which is right even if it is tough to follow.
6. Understand your responsibilities in every role.
7. Have pity on not only human beings but also every creature of God.
As well as lots of other things. |

Yes I strongly believe that we all should have one religion. Every sensible person in this world
does know that this world is a creation of a single creator. He is called by many names. In
Christianity we call Him God, in Hinduism we call Him 'Baghwan' and in Islam we call Him Allah. We
should only worship one God. He is the most beneficent and most merciful.
All the religions give one and the same message;
• Don't speak lie, always say truth
• Do good to others so you can have good from them
• Be kind to your parents specially and also to all living creatures
• Preach others the right path and stop them from wrong doing
• Help the oppressed, abandoned and neglected people
• Never say any harsh word to your subordinate and give him the same treatment as you treat your
children
• Do your work with honesty and never betray anyone
So we have very much commonalty that means our religion is the same. We should stop hatred and
spread peace and love. This is how the humanity can survive and be happy. |

That would be utopic but great. My vote for it! |

If we have one religion it would start a war. Let people believe what they want to. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Diversity is the spice of life.
But.
If there were only one religion, prejudice and warfare would be reduced.
Should there really be any religions?
How could we only have one religion? Wouldn't work, obviously.
Stupid debate. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

I disagree. You should let other people choose what religion they want to believe in. It is just so
mean. You are actually forcing people to believe in one religion. This is just like how the Spanish
did to the Native Americans. |
| |
|
| |
|

We shouldn't have any religion. |

I'd say the question includes an off-by-one error. Zero is a much better number than One. |

Freedom of religion is one of the core foundations upon which this nation was built. Having a
state-appointed religion would entirely defeat that. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
No. Imagine all religions except one would be forbidden. First, there would be a war about which
religion it will be. Then the followers of the other religions would rebel, regions with many
followers of forbidden religions would be in wars steadily - and no one could avert those wars until
the other religions would be allowed again.
Peaceful alternatives are extremely unlikely. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
People have the right to choice.
And also, that would resort in wars, forcing people to come away from their Buddha, or God, or
Allah, or Mother Teresa, wait no...she's not a leader, or being an Atheist, or Agnostic, or Dalai
Lama, or Hindu Gods, or you get the point. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
People are brought up to believe totally different things and have strong beliefs in these religions
and how can you just force them to believe something else? It would never work anyway because no
matter what you say they will still believe what they want. No one can change that! XD |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I think even one is too many. "Way of life" religions don't count. They're more like a set of moral
values. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I don't think so because everyone has their own beliefs and they should stay that way. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I disagree. Religion hasn't always been the cause of war and fighting. How about WW2, WW1, The
Vietnam War, or Korea? Not even the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are "religious" wars. They are far
more political than religious. I think a single religion would have to be democratic, and although i
am a vehement supporter of democracy, I think that a democratic religion wouldn't be the place.
By the way, It would be cool to try that, though. You could call it "Somethingism!" |
| |
|
| |
|

|
|
Isn't America about diversity? Most people think its a bad thing to be more than one religion
because it'll cause wars, but that's not a democracy that's a dictatorship so go move to Germany |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes but how do you decide which religion? I think all the wars, persecution etc. Have stemmed from
those religions trying make sure there is only one religion. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
NO WE SHOULD NOT.
Unless you wanna be Christian. =) |
| |

Freedom of religion |

You have got to be kidding me! No one has the right to tell me what religion I have to worship.
How do you plan on figuring out which one is the right religion?
Is there even a right religion?
This is not a very intelligent way of stopping the wars and killings related to religion. More of an
intelligent way to start more wars and create more reason for killing. |
| |
|
| |
|

|
|

My social studies teacher always taught me that religion helps you understand other people and the
world around you. While I understand your point, religion describes us, explains our views and
opinions of the world. People have the right to state their mind, and viewpoints are thoughts. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
It is that thought, that is the cause of so much killing. Some nut proclaims his religion be the
only and right religion and someone of the same mental state opposes --> more killing
Everybody should be allowed - free- to believe what he/she/it wants WITHOUT trying to convince
others of their beliefs. All religions (and non religions) should be approved of by each other. That
would end religious wars....especially this bloody Jihad ignorance... |
| |
|
| |
|

1. One religion is a terrible idea...
2.religion is not the reason for war, fighting, or killing....its the difference in thoughts,
closed-mindedness, and ignorance that are responsible for wars and fighting and such
3.free will...not to mention the bill of rights...you might as well create a whole new nation if you
want one religion |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
We will one day....and then ...after that...we will have another. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
We should have no Religion |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

One religion would not bring peace.
It would rather bring oppression. And it would lower the free choice, which is the most essential
part of existence imo.
Also, about the religious wars: You are right that there is nothing more stupid than religious
wars.
But I am sure that a time would come, then people from all religions come live peacefuly together,
and yet believe in different religions... |
| |
|
| |
|

YES WE SHALL HAVE ONE RELIGION!!!
I will b the leader and you will all do what i say
there will still b a president..but i will also b that..
AND WE CVAN WORSHIP PRETZLES |

Personally I think we should have no religion, just beliefs. We should be free to believe anything
so long as it causes no harm to others. If we keep our personal beliefs, we can keep our diversity
and toleration of others, but refrain from using physical or mental force towards one another. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Are you people dumb? I'm atheist so i don't have a religion but really, religion=diveristy, weither
your right about what you believe or not, its freedom, one religion would be stupid! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
The reason for war isn't religion. War is generated from LACK of Understaanding and Respect. I think
that if every person in the world were to be more understanding and/or respectful, that it would be
a step in the direction of world peace. |
| |
|
| |
|

Jesus said... It does not matter where you worship as long as you have truth in your heart.I believe
there are Christians in all religions. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
We have the freedom to be any religion we want. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

Having just one religion will lead to terrible wars such as people not changing to this one religion
people starting new ones just to be difficult and lots of people don't even have a religion! We are
called Atheists. If you want to try to have one religion then go ahead but I doubt that anyone will
really change in their hearts.Everyone will fight over what the religion is. Also if you have a
completely new one then everyone will want to make it up themselves and then it won't be real
anyway! And everyone will know it is not real because they would have seen it happen! |
| |
|

Who would determine this religion?
No one can really claim the monopoly on the absolute truth, for religions people follow depend upon
cultural ties and geographical location, so would choosing 1 religion be really rational? |
