The answers aren't in the Bible, not in one church or some powerful priest, rabi or whoever.
Pride for example is one of the 7 deadly sins that transcends a single religion. Choosing one religion and saying it's correct while others aren't is prideful, pride being considered the gravest of the seven sins. So how can one religion be correct while others aren't if it's the greatest of sins for a human to chose what's right and wrong with someones religion?
Choosing a religion is just as sinful as saying God isn't real. It's the work of the devil to separate all religions and keep us sinfully bickering(or beheading) about which one is correct or not.
You make some valid points RK but I wonder if the Church of Satan is o.k. with you?
