Which religion is the real one? I know this is a very sensitive topic but I am still going to talk about it. If someone asks me about my beliefs, I will most definitely say " I am an agnostic". Most people wouldn't care much but some are surprised? Am I considered as weird, bad, and immoral without believing in a specific god? This is where the question " Which religion is the real one" comes in.
First of all, do we even have an answer? I am well aware that we have "answers" but which one is the correct one? I think the people who give answers are kind of bias, to say the least, they will always answer with their own religion but never consider someone else's. I know not everyone is like that because most people I know respect others' beliefs but sometimes I got to wonder.... If your belief says that people who doesn't believe in your particular religion is going to suffer in hell... are you going to convert them or respect their beliefs? This is very contradicting....
Being agnostic(or an apathiest) is the best place for me to take because my claims will not change the truth so I shouldn't make claims and blindly believe whatever I was told. According to Google, there are roughly 4200 religions in the world. So, which one? Am I supposed to choose one? What if I am wrong? Will I get punish because of that? I have so many questions and does it really matter?
The largest religion today is Christianity but just because a lot of people believe in a particular religion, does it make it the "real" one? Following by Islam, the second largest religion? Are they wrong? Just to make this clear, I am not telling people not to have any believe or religion, if it helps you to become a better person, go ahead, believe it but if it teaches you to hate the minorities and other religions, you're better off without it.
The conclusion is, we don't have the most accurate answer, but why are people still fighting and constantly arguing about this topic? Can't people just say " I don't know"? I really hope people can stop trying convert each other and throw insults to other religion just because they aren't the " real" one.
( To be honest, I have been thinking about this for a long time but I am just gonna write it here since our moral teacher asked us " Who doesn't believe in God, JUSTIFY." for chapter 1. I didn't have the guts to raise my hand and answer but instead of me justifying, isn't it the other way round?)
