I am Mormon. And these are just a few. Many believe that only their religion can save. Others, while faithful members of a religious group, are quick to add that it really doesn t matter what you believe, just so you are a good person. We are all going to the same place anyway, they say.
Religion is a set of beliefs, attitudes and practices.
Religion in itself cannot save anyone. His religion gave him no assurance of salvation, although he was considered, in all parts of the world, as a great and good man. Aristotle, the great philosopher of ancient Greece, wrote, Man is on a slope, with his appetites and passions gravitating downward. He knows that he ought to go upward, but there is something in him that drags him downward. Buddha, founder of one of the great religions of the world said, toward the end of his life, I am still searching for truth.
