Different Religions

Garrett Lambur
So this is more of a gripe that I have against people and their religions. Why is it necessary to fight over it? Enough people have already died at the hands of religious fanatics in the past. Though I believe that one word summarizes why, fanatics, people who carry things to the extreme. But seriously, why would one religion be better than another? Now I’m looking more at Christianity, Islam, and Judaism than other religions. Of these three religions, all basically have the same ultimate ideal, the perfect afterlife with God. All three pray to God but in different manners, though some would argue that there are different Gods but I take the opinion it is the same one. I am of the opinion that we cannot correctly interpret how to worship God for we cannot hope to understand God. If we attempt to do our best in the way we view we should than I would hope that he could accept that. But when a person says that one religion is superior to the others it’s upsetting to me. I think that I could take the different parts of those three aforementioned religions and create a hybrid religion that would help me to end up in the same place as everyone else. Many would take up great argument with this because I have not been told by God to worship in this way. But then why would he help to create three different religions? Or does this mean that there is more than one God and each religion has its own? Perhaps in this sense the Greeks were on to something, the battles between the Gods. So if the Gods made man then it would have to have been a group effort with arguing and discussion and the like. It is actually quite funny to think about a bunch of infinite beings sitting around conversing in whatever manner they use talking about how they will create the smartest creature on the Earth. I apologize for my digressing in this blog but my original gripe started me on a great train of thought I could not refuse to follow.
