Well
Do you think that God is really in favor of one religion? If so, Which one and why? Please try to avoid using scriptures as arguments as all religions are eventually based on scriptures and this is not a valid argument IMO.
The god of Abraham? No. He is just in favor of people worshiping him only. Before Christianity, god was never a person and never wanted to be dictated as an physical representation of himself. So, any religion of Abraham that depicts god in a psychical way is, well, committing idolatry. It's very simple, really. He doesn't prefer a specific religion just the worship of him and many people have found their own traditional ways of doing so. Whether it's true or false, I wouldn't know. I was reading the posts and one person said religion isn't meant a for that but to see values in the stories and traditions presented in the faith. So, I think "right" religion is looking at religion the, uh hum, wrong way.
If you think that one religion is indeed the "right" one, do you believe that following the wrong religion is a "Sin" or on the lighter case, Not the way to salvation. Please note I'm asking those question out of interest and not because I look for a religion to follow
(I personally think they are all false).
Sin is a transgression/action against god. So, if you are worshiping god in a manner not to his liking (whichever god-religion interprets what "his liking" is), then yes, it's a sin. As for salvation, if you don't believe in Jesus as God's Son who saved you by his Passion, then you (general "you") won't be saved. If I hand you a lolly pop, and you don't take it, then of course, you won't benefit from the packed sweetened lickable stick.
Also, If indeed one religion is better than the other, Is it better to be a Good person believing the wrong religion or a Bad person believing the right religion?
Actually, instead of right and wrong, since those have to do with values and values are not dangerous to ones well being, I'd prefer to say healthy and not healthy.
If one is good (however defined?) and believes in an unhealthy (wrong) religion, then I think that's worse than being a bad person and believing in a healthy (right) religion
because
a healthy religion is supposed to support and help you in your walk in life. So if you are a bad person believing in a healthy religion, then hopefully that religion helps you to be a good person. It's a life long journey.
When I was in Christianity, I was (if one likes) a good person following a bad religion. It made me have conflict of the heart where I had not had before. It made me feel I had a tug of war with myself. That's unhealthy-and I see that as wrong.
However, if I were a "bad" person but I believed in my ancestors (which I do heavily), then I know I can go to them for help and be a good person.
That is the right religion to me.
I see right and wrong as healthy and unhealthy. Morals are defined based on culture and family upbringing. I wasn't raised in a highly ethical family; so, if the religion is damaging a person at their basic survival needs from psychological to physical (as I see and read about indoctrination), that is wrong. Again, though, it depends. The Church I went to was wonderful, they had a wonderful support, priests where very nice, and there wasn't a pressure to believe. God works at his own pace, type of thing.
It depends on the person and their values. Nothing is objectively right and wrong. So, of course, you'll get multiple answers.
