Well, not if atheism is correct; you wouldn't know!

There are several hundred incompatible religions on this planet, all of which claim their way is the true and justified one. If you pick one religion, and it turns out another one, e.g. Norse gods, was correct, you still lose. Which one of the hundreds should I pick?

 

I know, I was just saying that if it turns out atheism is true, it would make no difference.

You should pick Christianity; we, unlike the others, are the correct answer!

 

The difference between Christianity and the other is our savior is a living savior.

Buhda = Dead

Muhamed = Dead

Joseph Smith = Dead

Krishna = Dead

Confusus = Dead

Jesus = Arisen

That there shows a difference, also if you study old testiment prophecy you will notice that not one of them has been wrong, many of them have already been fulfilled, some have not yet, but still will be.

For example the OT predicted the destruction of Jerusalem, The future empires that came and went (Nebecanezzer's dream), The Birthplace of jesus, He rejection amonst the Jews, his death, the means of his death, the Rebirth of Israel, and many many other things, that might help give you some faith if you studied Bible prophecy, the accuracy is amazing, actually supernatural.

You spelled Buddha, Muhammad, Confucius, and Nebuchadnezzar wrong.  And "amongst," but I hope that's a typo.

Confucius was a philosopher, not a savior.  Muhammad and Joseph Smith were prophets who founded new faiths after divine revelation, but aren't supernatural themselves.  In Buddhism, eternal life is not even the goal, so that comparison doesn't work.  The goal in Buddhism is to escape the cycle of life, which is a cycle of reincarnation and suffering.  And even then, calling Buddha "dead" is pretty tricky to do.  Krishna is a G-d, so I don't see how you're calling him dead.  It is believed that he doesn't age or deteriorate in any way.  Depending on your faith, Krishna is either the supreme being itself, or an avatar of Vishnu, the supreme being itself.

And when the Greco-Roman world was trading art, spices, and ideas with the Middle Eastern and Chinese cultures along the Silk Road, they borrowed many Buddhist ideas, and Christianity lifted these Buddhist ideas as well.

Do you actually know anything about other religions?

yes I know alot about many religions, the spelling? I was just being lazy, I am doing several things at once here.

yes, to Islam Muhammed is a prophet, actually the same class as Jesus. Muhammed is just the great profit. He was sent by Allah to finish what Jesus had failed to do. I have studied Islam and its begginnings and I see no reasons it can be true. I know less about Buddism, but I know alot about many other religions.

I named those names because they are the "Main" people in their religions. Also when I spoke of death, I mean Physical. I believe that a spirit/ soul is eternal. I was refferring to the actually person as a whole Flesh/Spirit/Soul Jesus is the only that maintains all 3. I believe that Buddha's soul is still in extistence.... somewhere.... His body has been dead for thousands of years, Jesus has arisen, believe it or not, it is a matter of faith.
