Question

If all god wants is just to make people good, why there are so many different religions?

Answer 1

the different religions grew from the needs of diverse societies.  obviously we have differences in what we think is important, or moral, or ethical - religions try to give us something to believe in

in my view god sits on top of the mountain.  there are many paths up the mountain, islam, judaism, christianity, buddhism, hinduism, etc.  god doesn't care what path you use, he just wants you to climb the mountain

Answer 2

Because they are so many types of bad people in the world, so it takes many types of religion to make them good again....problem is for some bad people  - they goannot be made good they go from bad to worse....at least for one religion...

Answer 3

For me, theres only one truth and one God. people create their own religion and by using so many psychological trick, they got lot and lot of followers.. so its human again and not God.

I hv mine by thinking logically and not freely followed my family and friends. the concept of heaven and earth hold me strong enough for me to stand still. if the religion told me to steal for my safety, stealing is a sin so why in this world im gonna stay that way?

my opinion.

Answer 5

Because there exist also the devil or syaitan or iblis ... his purpose is to prevent manusia from getting to know God ... that is why he distorts the truth from God  and we end up like rojak ... confused ... fighting among ourselves ... claiming my religion is the one and only true one and yours is not ... accusing one another ... and the devil or syaitan or iblis ? He happily carried on doing so ...

I believe in God and I know my belief is correct or not when I passed away from this world ...

Answer 6

There only 1 truth religion but man create so many false ideology and teaching according to their imperfect understanding of religion. False Prophet usually bring false teaching that will create a lot of trouble to this world. A teaching that teach a fist for a fist ,an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth is not a religion. A prophet is not a person that marry other people wife, or his daughter in law or a 9 year old girl and giving a lame excuse that he is protecting this women. And there is many alternative way to do it. A false prophet will spread his ideology using sword instead of preaching.

Hi honey(=

Nice question.I'll try my best to answer.

Okay.1st,different religions are effect of people trying to find out the 'truth'.Some claim they found the truth and thus begins a new religion.

Next,I believe God does want us to be good.But I believe that's not His main priority.I believe that His main priority is for us to BELIEVE and have FAITH in Him.Make a special and closer bond with Him.That alone is not easy.

I'm not speaking up for my personal religion,I hope you can see that.I'm just trying to generalized and answer you question.Hoped I helped.

Answer 9

Simply because God gave man free will which makes man come up with logical/illogical thinking.  Man is free to use his rational thinking to decide what is good or what is bad as he perceives it.
