Religious beliefs There are many religious beliefs, and they are all important.

People need something to believe in, and they find faith and hope in religions. It is important to know that all religions converge in one point. In all religions there is only one God, which to me, is the same God. This is also the thought of some people that want to unit the world. But being realist that is not going to happen, at least not in this world. We will never think alike, but we can not refuse of God. Of all the existing religions, it is impossible for us to say, that any of them is invaluable. Religions exist for each person, and each belief. In this world, are many doubts that science can not explain, like human kind questions. To all this questions, religions have the answers. This is why people get close to religions, to know and understand the mysteries of life. But its not only getting close to religions, but near to our creator, and his son, Jesus. We should get to know and see him as a friend, like Abraham was, in James 2:23 says: Abraham put faith in Jehovah, and it was counted to him as righteousness, and he came to be called Jehovahs friend. For this God will reward us with his lovely promises. Its not hard to make friends, its all about give them time and a very important space in our lives. Some people had created their own beliefs, and their unique way of putting God in their lives. They choose to live by their own philosophy. Are they doing something wrong? No, they just have another perspective of God. Anyhow, religious beliefs are all connected by one point, God almighty. Like Gandhi used to say. M. Gandhi, Hindu men, who fought with words, and never with violence, once said: Religions are different roads converging upon the same point. What does it matters, that we take different roads so long as we reach the same goal? These words are right.

Lately when people talk about our creator, and their beliefs, they always end up with a fight. Is that right? Talking about him should be the most important theme we can talk about. M. Gandhi also stated: Belief in one God is the corner-stone for all religions. But I do not foresee a time when there would be only one religion on earth in practice. Getting to know God is what religions do. They study books, like the Bible and the Koran, just to get to know God. That way, new points of view develop. Not everyone thinks the same. That is why believing in God, in different ways created religions. In theory, since there is only one God, there can be only one religion. But in practice, no two persons I have known have had the same identical conception about God- Gandhi. These words came from many years before we were born, and still valid, because human kind has always been like this, there can never be two alike. People need hope and answers. They refuge in spirituality, and the image of God. He gives us promises of eternal life, of a new beginning, of love. All religions believe in a god, which is the same. It is important to respect all faiths; they are all important and beneficial. They help each human to find who they are, and the peace they can not find in this world by our own. Religious beliefs will never accord in their perspectives of God, but they all believe in him, one way or another. These are the real meanings and importance of religions. I believe in the fundamental truth of all religions of the world. - M. Gandhi-
