Do you believe that your religion is right and that all other religions are wrong?
This question is mostly directed at Christians. I just find it impossible to believe that out of all of the religions in the world, that one is completely correct and all others are wrong. Not all Christians believe this but I know quite a few that do. How is the Christian God loving when all non-believers go to hell? Doesn't the bible teach to love your enemy? How is it fair when a child in Africa dies that has never even heard of Christianity and he burns in hell forever. If the world is that retarded, then I will burn with billions of others.
@James Y I am agnostic. I don't know if it is right or wrong. I don't think it is right because it doesn't make any sense to me
You can't quote the Bible to say that Christianity is right. With that logic, every religion is right

There is a small, obscure cult in Belgium which lives by the strongly held belief that every religion is right except their own. They have a long standard prayer which boils down to "Lord, please forgive me for being in the wrong religion but I have to pray for forgiveness so much that I never have time to look for another one".
Anyway. "What I believe is the truth and everything else is lies" is the default human position.

Most believe that children are not held accountable to their actions or beliefs. They believe all children go to heaven.
Some turn that "Age of accountability" into "knowledge of accountability." The more you know about the Bible and your actions the more your held accountable for them. So they would believe that an 87 year old man that dies never knowing of the Christian God would still be saved.
As for whether Christianity is the right religion, I agree with you. To me it holds nothing more over any other to be more "right". It also has just as many contradictions as the Torah or the Qur'an.

I belive that all religions are right for the person who chooses them,for example if some wants to become a Buddhist then I believe that that religion is the right one (for them).My church teaches that anyone who believed in God and tried their best to be sinless but didn't hear much about Jesus or the Bible will go to heaven.Judaism and Islam are true religions to me whether a person chosses them or not.

People who ask this question don't really know where the origins of Christianity and all other religions began..
At least 99% of all religions are based off of what is written in Genesis, probably only 1% is based on something totally different..
A way to look at it is to look at the many languages we have, every language is based on the first language whatever that maybe, all cultures know that a up and down nod of the head means yes and a turn of the head from left to right means no..
Same with religion, every religion is based on the original truth, science will see this differently, but as far as theism goes there is only one truth, and as far as im concerned Christianity applies that truth and is that truth..

Do you believe that your religion is right and that all other religions are wrong?
yes i do
salvation only comes by calling on jesus to save them romans 10:9
there is no other way
How is the Christian God loving when all non-believers go to hell?
love does not over look the evil the unbelievers did
love punishes the wicked and evil who refuses to repent and turn from sins
Doesn't the bible teach to love your enemy?
yes god tells mankind to love their enemy
that does not excuse the fact the enemy is doing evil and should not be punished for their evil
How is it fair when a child in Africa dies that has never even heard of Christianity and he burns in hell forever?
children do not go to hell
only adults do

Well, you are actually asking several different questions. I will answer the first one:
John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
If you are a Christian, then you have to believe your Bible.

I don't believe that any religion is more right than another. It's is just what a person believes. If you are kind to others, then I think you'll be fine.

religion is merely a framework. God is the source.
so if you're wondering if my God is right and all others wrong? i'd have to say that there is only one God and that he is right...

Therefore Christianity is wrong, is that what you're getting at?
Edit: Oh boy, before I get all these thumbs downs let me explain:
The argument "I find it so hard to believe that one religion out of all these other religions is right" is not a valid argument for proving a religion is wrong.

John 14:6
King James Version (KJV)
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Look at your contradiction here.If you want to say other Religions are right then you must call scripture wrong.The law of contradiction friend.2 opposite statements about the same thing cannot both be true.
The bible shows people like you:
1 Corinthians 1:18
King James Version (KJV)
18For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
