Mine is Best

Religions. They all seem to have some claim to exclusivity attached to them.

Who's right?

Religiously speaking, if it works for you — to have words, concepts, and narratives attached to your relationship to the Ultimate — then pick the one which suits your temperament and mentality.

Select yours from among the main choices:

Muslims: There is only One God ... and, Muhammad is His Prophet [and, he's ours!]

Christians: Jesus is Lord [and, he's ours]. 

Catholics: Only Catholics go to Heaven.*

Jews: We're the originals, the chosen people [which makes us the best].

Mormons: We have the latest, and the greatest. In gold too!

Hindus: We have the most gods and goddesses.

Buddhists: Never mind. There is no god.** Suck on that!

Atheists***: We believe in Science [only what can be seen].




*Played down nowadays.
**We just choose to not put a name on it.
*** Oh, yes. It's a religion too.
