RELIGION-WHICH ONE IS RIGHT ?

by

Joe Fazio

There are billions of humans that inhabit
this place called earth. Most, believe
in a Supreme Being. Most who practice
their religion, believe The One they
pray to, worship, is the true and only
Supreme Being.
Millions of human beings, are killed
each year, in the name of religion.
Since the beginning of time, armies of
people who practice religion, have slaughter,
maimed and murdered others, simply
because they practiced a religion that
was different than theirs.

So then, of the hundreds of religions
practiced...who is right?
ALL OF THEM ARE RIGHT. It matters not
what religion one practices. If in ones heart
they truly believe in that religion,
then, it is the right religion. For them.

I believe that there is a supreme being
I believe that a supreme being is by-lingual,
multi-colored, of all ethnic races
and accepts, and blesses, all who practice
religion. It matters not the name or faith.
If a man worships a rock, or tree, or any
idol or any kind--and believes in them, then
I say to you, THEIR RELIGION, is the TRUE
AND RIGHT RELIGION...for them.

It can not be, that one religion is the true
way to worship. For that would mean that
billions of others who do not practice that
religion...are wrong.

I believe in God. I was taught to believe in
God. However, that said, I must take into
consideration billions of others, that were
taught, a different religion than mine.
Does that make me right, and them wrong?
I do know this. Far to many of us fail to
understand, that faith, no matter what
form it takes...is that. Faith.

What of the suicide bombers and their families,
and the families that are being destroyed. These
people BELIEVE they are doing the right thing.
How do we change them? How do we make this
a better world? How do we stop all the madness.?
How sad it is, that ones belief, could be the
cause of world wide mayhem.

I do not have the answers to the miseries of the
world. To innocent children being slaughtered and
hundreds of thousands left homeless.
Perhaps the billions upon billions we spend on
the machine of war, could better be
used for humanitarian purposes

. I do know this. If we want a better world, it
must start by each one of us, trying to be better.
