Do you accept other religions?

[Goddess_Ashtara]

Its a simple question really: Do you accept other religions/faiths, and might consider that they are right?

 
I do not accept any religion as "right", as I do not approach religions with some perspective of them being "right" or "wrong".  I absorb and utilize strength, power, wisdom, and beauty from any religion I Will, and completely understand that these things can be found within any religion.

Which religions are you talking about here?

Basically, most religions.

Yaaaaaaay horrifying overgeneralisations!

Yaaaaaaay horrifying overgeneralisations!

That's unheard of in paganism!

I'm really curious which ones get a pass from "most" now...

To put it simply, yes I do. I believe that Krishna was the avatar of Vishnu and the perfect manifestation of the person of God. This is what Krishna had to say about other religions:

"The worshippers of the gods go to them; to the manes go the ancestor-worshippers; to the Deities who preside over the elements go their worshippers; My devotees come to Me."

So I really have no reason to doubt that other religions are valid. The God I worship says that other religions actually DO reward their followers with the afterlives that they promise. That is not quite the same thing as thinking my own religion might be wrong, which is also something I often feel. I am chronically agnostic and go through periods where I doubt my beliefs.

He further goes on to say that if someone wants to worship another god/dess or demi-god/dess, and does it with faith, he will make that faith steady, though they don't see it the true way. He says that whether people know it or not, they are worshiping him. So yes, even Sri Krishna says other religions are valid. Who am I to gainsay him?

Indeed. It was actually that quote, among other things Krishna said in the Gita and Bhagavata Purana, that made me want to become a Hindu in the first place. I was looking for a religion that didn't have rejection of other beliefs written into its core philosophy.

Don't know if this is the right forum, but I didnt find a more suiting :-)

Maybe I'm completely missing the point of the question, but if they're well understood I think they're "right" in regards to themselves.  As in, this is what this religion in this context is like. That doesn't mean they might sound right to my own values, morals or even tastes.

Sometimes, when something really rubs me the wrong way, it's hard to accept something the way it is. For example I've tried to "connect" with Christianism, by the virtue of being the only thing around, and it was a complete failure on several levels. I thought "maybe i just don't know enough, or I don't understand it, or I am unjustifiably antipathetic towards it, maybe I can turn this into something that is mine where nothing is currently to be found", and it just turned out that the problems where deeper than I had imagined.
