Who is to say whose religion is the right one?
The Jatravartids of Viltvodle IV believe the universe was created by means of a sneeze by a being called The Great Green Arkleseizure. Can you prove them wrong?

If anyone looks right across the themes, stories, myths, etc etc etc of all our World's Faith Traditions then they will find commonalities and correspondences. As I see it such will be the [i]heart[/i], and there are many who have lived lives that speak from having touched the heart. As Renkon has said, such people will not speak of "only ways", will rarely dispute. Their [i]experience[/i] of Reality precludes any such claims. Their lives are their teachings.
Yes, there is just One Way - maybe it can even be given names.......Mercy, Grace, Compassion, Acceptance, Surrender, Relationship. But the One Way is not a formulae or a Creed, not finally of words. It is known in infinite ways according to our uniqueness as human beings.

The Great White Handkerchief is coming!
But seriously, who’s to say that there’s only one “right” religion?
What so many people on SW get wrong about religion is that religions aren’t just a series of beliefs or hypotheses about how the world started and how it will end; to be fair, a lot of “fundamentalist”religious leaders don’t seem to get that either. Religions are about what you [i]value[/i] most.
To be more specific, religion is transformation in response to a perceived ultimacy. As humans, we are constantly changing, right? Otherwise we’d be dead. So how are we changing? In response to our perceived ultimacies. Whatever we value most.
Not everyone is spiritual, but all are religious.

No one has the right to do so.
Actually if you study the teaching of great master, they never said 'this is the only way.' And everything else were wrong. It's alway those scholars who come after, tries to create religion out of it and say all these nonsense.

The Faith of the LORD Jesus is the Right one.. In fact the Only one that will see people have eternity with God..
Oh and i do not have to prove anything..

@CorvusBlackthorne Oh i have the evidence.. God revealed it to me in my dreams.. You see while i cannot prove Gods existence to anyone and no one can disprove the existence of God to me.. God Himself can and does prove Himself to whom He wills to prove Himself to..
God has made his message the thing that draws people to an eternal relationship with Him... Not observable evidence.. If God proved Himself in the way you desire then those who hate His message would be forced to submit to someone they hate.. God is not into doing that.. He wants people who love His truth to be drawn to Him and His Word achieves that goal..
People who hate His truth can demand observable truth because they are assured within themselves that they will never see any observable proof and in that way they can reject Gods will and endevour to find enjoyment in life's pursuits never being worried about eternity and their eternal place in eternity.. At lest the ones who reject God can maybe have some enjoyment in this short life..

Given a choice, I’ll have freedom [i]from[/i] religion.
@BlueSkyKing That is your right.

@CorvusBlackthorne In my country. Others don’t get to choose.
