The way I see it is that all roads are leading to the top of the mountain. Due to our culture, our life experiences, and the ways we have been taught to understand various concepts, we all came out with a unique to each of us point of view. There is no one "right" or "true" religion as all religions have some "truth" in them and all are acceptable.

There is not a person that can tell me that they have personally witnessed "God" come here and say "this is unacceptable or that is unacceptable". God does not care what you believe in, or how you worship or what your differences or similarities are. Only man is that petty. Only man has to control, has to be right, has to have something nobody else has, and I could go on and on.

Man lives not by universal law, but has created man-made laws and then stated "Oh look see God has said these things." The Bible is a book. The Koran is a book. All books on religion are just that books. Perhaps divine intervention inspired the books, but in the end they are books. They are books that have been tampered with and folks are so afraid of not having some type of control, or guidance, or divine input that they demand that they must have "the way".

Think about this. What would happen if you followed your heart alone and not what others have placed in your heart? Do you have personal integrity and have control over yourself without all the input going on around you? Eliminate say teachers voices, parents, law enforcement, and any other voice in your heart and soul that tells you how you must live and realize that you are a free being. All decisions are yours and the results are your responsibility. You cannot blame bad parenting, improper schooling, harsh law enforcement, pushy friends or relatives dead and alive for the results of your actions. So if you are the one responsible why do you need a book to tell you how to live?
