Will there ever be just the one religion - as there is only the one God!? (beliefs, creation)

Can this be true? Can one day the world find peace with one another and remember the heritage God created for us. When he recreated the world with Noah and the floods and Noah's sons went onto create the diversity of nationalities and save us from the path we were taking? Can we one day walk as one as we were meant to?

I ask this question not to discriminate against any religion, but to pose the question of unity in order to create a more peaceful place to live and to prompt others to think about the creation of the world we live in and the vastness of its beauty and really what God's intentions would have been?

If so, better start making less children then as this world was not build to hold so many of us in the first place

Personally I love the fact that there is not one religion but several. Keeps thinking/questions going..

Also boils hatred and hurt. Causes hunger and famine. Teaches children to hate, when they really have no understanding of why?

ignorance.. Do you really think that one world religion would solve that problem?

People fight when groups emerge. It doesn't matter what kinds of groups, religion, music, sports, countries..Add greed to any of these groups and you got war..

well, modern day Pagans are a hell of a lot more peaceful than the Christian right who cause a lot of hurt and pain for many people - i think you're right. God wants peace, and Paganism is the way forwards.

I imagine it would be possible for a religion to be able to integrate diverse perspectives & beliefs into a massive coherent whole. In fact there are already religious movements that are attempting to do this, unsuccessfully for the most part.

I can't imagine such a religion ever being the only religion though, nor it being capable of existing within a society that wasn't already or simultaneously incredibly healthy & well integrated. Having said that a Taoist view might be that we already do live in a vast, beautiful and perfectly integrated universe despite our woes - we simply need to realise it for our lives to reflect it.

Wow. If for nothing else I love Taoism for its poetry.

wel geuss it is possible but then we would all be athiests, or all worshiping a videogame (pray for epics) none of wich would do the world any good

Yes, it'll eventually happen. Guaranteed.

There will always be religion of some sort. Sports are a kind of religion to many people. Other things become religions for some people. For instance, people here in Baltimore raise their children to be Ravens fans. Why? Because it's the home team. Why is my team better than your team? Because it's my team! We are expected to support the home team without question, and put our hopes and dreams into it.

What I'm trying to say is that even without the traditional religions, people will find other ways to be religious with other things.
