In your opinion, what is the best religion to follow and what is the worst?

Question

In my opinion, the best is the Sikh religion, because they are very tolerant, peaceful, as well as just being logical and intelligent about spirituality.
In my opinion, the worst is Scientology, because it seems about as legit as the "Religion of the Flying Spaghetti Monster."

Can you tell me what you think is the best and the worst, and why? I'm open to anything: I want to know your opinions.

I hope you'll go a bit further into detail than I did, I was very vague.

Answer 1

As a Sikh i love my own religion!!!! and i don't hate any religion because Sikhism teaches all Sikhs that all religions are a path so god so we shouldn't disrespect them so in that case i cant say any religion is the worst :).. Sikhism is quite different to alot of religions.. most religions preach that other religions are wrong and that their own religion is right where are Sikhism preaches the opposite and shows love and equality for all.. Sikhism is all about worshipping god and liberating our souls and fighting the 5 evils which is lust, anger, greed, emotional attachment and ego.. Sikhism is against the caste system and preaches all humans are equal and even on gender issues Sikh women have always been given an equal status to Sikh men.. In Gurdwara's (Sikh temples) there is a free kitchen which provides free food for all and every1 is welcome to the Gurdwara :)... Sikhism preaches tolerance but also preaches to defend the defenceless to fight against tyranny and oppression and for justice... :)

Answer 2

Christian (mainstream): Most folks one turns out to satisfy have compatibility this class. Though a few generally tend to evangelize so much are pleasant folks. So it is pleasant. Catholicism: I do not see why that is set apart from the important flow. Judaism: first-rate staying vigor within the face of persecution Islam: Fine besides for the fundamentalists (despite the fact that that is real of any faith) Christian-technological know-how: I simply desire their youngsters keep healthful Scientology: what Christianity might be like if it had began in contemporary many years. Wiccan: very cool, unfastened lively fans. I find it irresistible. Spiritualist: identical as above Gnostic Christianity: I do not know so much approximately this however from what I've heard.... fascinating Atheism: Not a faith. This does no longer belong at the record! Jehovah's witnesses: it appears impervious to warmth stroke. Ever see them door-knocking in a 3-piece swimsuit on a ninety measure day?

Answer 3

For me,SIKHISM OR SIKH. Sikhism came in a time of despair over Hinduism and Islam.And there shoulb be no Hindu or Muslim and instead all people should be joined as Spirit of Brotherhood and Sisterhood.

God cannot be understood by men because God is not mortal.In meditation,man can see the prevence of God and soon He will attain salvation.



The teachings of the Gurus are not black and white. When you look at the writings of the Gurus there is a lot of depth. People sometimes take things so literally or at surface level without understanding the deeper meanings or the context.



Be strong! The Gurus gave us this Bana for a reason. Being a Sikh is not about finding the easy way out. It is the warrior/saint lifestyle. If you wish to be a Sikh then you should live to this strength. Most great people are great because they endured hardships. They did not do what everyone else does.

Answer 4

I say the best would be Islam and not because i'm a Muslim-

-Islam is the most peaceful religion,there is a belief tat muslims are all violent and that it is a religion full of hate and violence.This is not true as the attacks on 9/11 were from a small amount of muslims and theres even a rumour going around that the american government was involved with it.

-The Quran our holy book and the source of truth is proved continuously that it scientifically right and even some christians believe it as true.Some people will argue with this but type in 'Dr Zaiker Naik' and you will see the debate between the two religions and that Islam wins.

-Dr Zaiker Naik even has found a major mistake in the bible,even though that some of the bible is right most of it is wrong such as that Jesus is God.

So in conclusion Islam is a peaceful and 'perfect' religion because everything makes sense

I will admit that Islam does have a few extremists but then again which religion doesn't?

I'm sorry if I said anything disrespectful or offensive.

Answer 5

This is a difficult question for me in a way, as an atheist, because I generally object to them all, although having considered them to answer this question, I must conclude that Islam is without a doubt the WORST RELIGION IN THE WORLD.



I say that even though I have Muslim relatives and I love them a lot. But I cannot stand their religion, its misogyny, its barbaric methods of discipline, its antiquated laws, and its insistence that it is the ONLY correct religion, although this deplorable characteristic is common among monotheistic religions, particularly Christianity, which came in a close second as the worst religion in the world.



I am a pantheist as well as an atheist, but since I do not consider pantheism a religion, it is not relevant to this question. So, for best religion, I must go with my fellow Witches, (although I am not a Wiccan Witch) and award Wicca as the best religion in the world. My Wiccan friends have shown me their religion as inclusive, and the fact that in general, they do not regard the gods and goddesses as real, thinking creatures out there somewhere. Rather, they regard them as archetypes of behavior and guides along their spiritual path. Also, they are very connected to Mother Earth, and in that respect, since my beliefs are very strong in this area, I am happy to say that their religion and practices are the very best that a religion can be.



What a wonderful question!!!!

Answer 6

Friend, Sikhism is undoubtedly the religion for the 21st century man. Sikhism encourages scientific temper, common brotherhood, religious debate and reasoning. Things like superstitions, unnecessary rituals, oppression of the fair sex, orthodoxy etc. hold no place in the Sikh faith. Sikhism is an essentially monotheistic religion and is also free from Eastern or Western religious influences. Moreover it does not discriminate on basis of race, color, ethnicity etc. and person from any part of the world and belonging to any community con embrace Sikhism.

Answer 7

I believe one should follow a spiritual practice that resonants with them. There is no one way to your higher self if you don't practice any way. Practicing, which is living one's belief is the way to God in my opinion. I don't think any religion is bad unless it promotes the ideas that believers can eat, destroy or judge those who believe different'. One of those ideas may be a principal in most religions. If all people practice loving themselves and all life, there would be no such thing as a bad religion. Good and bad or just judgments.

Answer 8

THAT, is a question that you must ask God the Almighty, not me.



And - btw - I can think the Sikhs knowing the answers the Scriptures give from the Mind of God. I agree they represent a good social strata in Asia or wherever they may be, but that is a far cry to say the movement represents Gods Will for Mankind or gives Man the answers to the questions we all have, concerning life, death, purpose for Man on earth, etc...



Those are two different things.

Answer 9

Best Islam It covers every facet of life and give us clear guideline t . Many people think that Islamic followers in the East who are terrorist are that way because of their religion. This is not so.There are bad people and good people in every religion. And also many people think that muslims were ordered to kill Jews and Christians.and this ABSOLUTLY WRONG.



Charter of Privileges to the monks of St. Catherine Monastery in Mt. Sinai and to the Christians in general, given by Muhammad, may peace be on him.

Answer 10

It's a good thing that I don't depend on uninformed opinions to make my religious choices in life.



Scientology works for me.



I respect the religious beliefs of others and you're entitled to believe in yours and have your own opinions in life. That's what being free is all about. Once you start in on critiquing religions like Scientology, be aware that you open the door to your beliefs being attacked as well.

Answer 11

Best: Buddhists



Worst: Muslims

Answer 12

-I think the best is Christian/Catholic.

People need to understand that God died for all of you people, whether you believe in him or not, and he loves you all. To me, it seems selfish that people don't believe in him.

-Athiest is the worst to me, but everyone has their own opinions:)

I LOVE GOD NO MATTER WHAT ANYBODY SAYS. :)

Answer 13

best-christianity, because it offers real power through Jesus to become part of God's kingdom and to really change!



worst-satanism, because as a christian I believe Satan is pure evil. Edit: Although 'modern' satanists put on a good image, satanism is evil. Satan is evil. Satan = bad, God = good. I don't care which 'branch', satan is evil. I won't get more specific, but if you snoop around satanist websites you'll find out for yourself, unless you're a total idiot and think death and destruction spells are a good thing.

Answer 14

The best would be the one that is true. In my opinion that is Christianity. The worst would be the other ones, as two opposing truth claims cannot both be true, so the other ones would by nature have to be false if they are saying things opposed to the true one (or they could all be false, but it is logically impossible for all to be true).

Answer 15

christianity is disgracefull. You have been warned so think twice before joining this thing.

Answer 16

Best: Buddhism



Worst: All the others.
