I don't know. Perhaps you could give examples of such religions, because what you're saying certainly doesn't describe Christianity.
Jesus said: Eat my flesh and drink my blood. (John 6:53-58 NAB)
If one chooses to take this out of context and literally, one could accuse Jesus to promote cannibalisms.
(And yes, obviously Christ meant this metaphorically)
Regardless of what all the different religions or sects think of themselves, there is only one universal truth. Every other idea takes a far back seat to the Words here of sacred scriptures;
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
It is still the ultimate truth whether I believed it or not. One without Faith in Christ, what good are they to themselves or any one else? No Faith, no hope, without God, lost, dead... that is the only alternative. Who would choose that if they were once enlightened by the Holy One from Heaven as I have been? And how would I expect you to possibly comprehend that if you aren't also? I hope you are one day...Yeah I guess, if you believe in that sort of thing.

That's a lie of course. Whoever told you that was probably a diest? And what would a diest know of Holy Writ?What if the father is something you should stay away from ?.The OT suggests that the father is unreliable in delivering on his promises.
Suitably chastened and retreating .....That's a lie of course. Whoever told you that was probably a diest? And what would a diest know of Holy Writ?
God calls it assuredness, boldness, conviction... pride has nothing to do with it. You can tell "pride". Pride is when a person has been told the Gospel of Jesus Christ and rejects Him and will die as a result. That is pride my friend.Your smugness is showing again.
I thought pride was a sin. Guess it's okay for Christians.
Did I not write that this part of the New Testament can be construed as such?who metaphorically uses cannabalism? and why was it put into context in such a way in the first place? one does not need to eat someones flesh and drink someones blood for any reason of advancment or becoming closer to god.

Yes of course, thank you for asking;Your confidence is striking. Can you quote bible to support your assertions ?.
Yes of course, thank you for asking;
(Act 9:29) preaching boldly in the name of the Lord: and he spake and disputed against the Grecian Jews; but they were seeking to kill him.
(Act 14:3) Long time therefore they tarried there speaking boldly in the Lord, who bare witness unto the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
(Eph 6:19) and on my behalf, that utterance may be given unto me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,
(Heb 13:6) So that with good courage we say, The Lord is my helper; I will not fear: What shall man do unto me?
It doesn' matter what you say. Your opinion means nothing. You just made a miserable attempt to make the Word of God of none affect. Jesus dealt with such kind. I can confidently say that you appear to be one of these:And he was sent/went away(9:30). The take away is don't annoy people.Confidence is NOT good.
And they were stoned and fled away(14:6). same lesson as above.
The apostle needed a collective prayer to enable him to speak boldly. The takeaway is don't do it yourself.
Oh, men can do many things.
Let us go back a bit and see heb 13:05 God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.
confidence in 13:6 is based on assurance in 13:5 . And we know the father did forsake the son (Matt 27:46).
So, I say the confidence is misplaced.
I don't wish to go the rest of the quotes.
Opinion supported by evidence always mean something.Declarations don't mean anything.It doesn' matter what you say. Your opinion means nothing.
You just made a miserable attempt to make the Word of God of none affect. Jesus dealt with such kind. I can confidently say that you appear to be one of these:
(Mar 7:13) Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
To make up silliness as you go, and attempt to pass that off as meaningful communication, is pathetic.
This is according to your own viewpoints.
Comparing the three Abrahamic religions, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam; which do you think is the most morally superior and the least?
I'm most interested in how atheists or agnostics think of the three Abrahamic religions.
