Mate, thank you for your reflection. Although we don't agree on the perspective, it's really coragious of you putting your own beliefs out here for Common discussion. Well made video and great resources you pulled together!

Mike really think this is one of your greatest videos. And being from a Spanish-speaking country, I see the need for it to be shared with as many translations as possible. However I see that youtube does not allow to contribute to this video.

That was a great simple way to share it. Thank you.

I wish there were more people in this world willing to have an open discussion about the things they believe or anything really. Too often you see online people just resorting to personal attacks instead of refuting their point/belief/opinions with their own and why they think they’re right. Not only that you’ll have people who only want to surround themselves in an “echo chamber” where they never challenge their own beliefs

I like at the end when you talk about not compromising religions. I respect people of other religions more when they don't compromise and there can be a real discussion of the differences. I really enjoyed your evidence for the Bible series.

Nice video. Of course when you get into the finer details most religions are very different from one another. However, I’m looking from the perspective that they were all created at different points of time, mostly by very different people, In different parts of the world. That they were all different perspectives of the same thing. They mostly have the same principles. Like being kind to other people, faith, belief in external forces etc. But because of the differences in the people who “created” them. Their perspectives were different and interpreted a lot of the smaller details in different way

I really enjoyed listening to your perspective on this issue. However, when I think about if all religions are the same, I don't like to think solely about the beliefs, but also on the bigger picture. While you did mention that there are only two options, and make a good point with the analogy of the chair, I believe that it is not as clearcut as a simple "right" or "wrong". I don't think that it is possible to compare something as broad as religion to something as concrete as a chair.

For we are the temple of the living God ! As God himself has said, “I will make my home with my people and live among them; I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”

This is so balanced, logical train of thought 👍

I am a bit surprised by how many people have made comments, yet didn’t seem to listen to a word Mike said.

I really enjoy your videos and get a lot of good info from them. My kids get a kick out of the funny vocies/ acting you do. I couldn't agree more with you on your closing statement in this video,I feel the same exact way. We need to listen with compassion and not let ourselves get upset when we don't see eye to eye with other people, after all Proverbs 21:2 says that every man thinks he's right in his own eyes;) can't wait till your next release!!

I used to be an atheist. I’ve been slowly learning of faith. It’s been a struggle to try and know God, but I think the biggest struggle was trying to find “the right way” of knowing God. After learning so much about many religions (not all) I’ve found so many similarities. Whether it be the similarities amongst Eve eating the apple and releasing sin upon the world (Christianity), or Pandora opening Pandora’s box and releasing sin upon the world (Greek mythology), God making Adam from the diet (Christianity), or Prometheus making the first human man out of clay (Greek), or the flood occurring and only one man and woman being warned/saved (Christianity, Greek mythology, Norse “), and many other small and obscure similarities. I’m trying my best to build a relationship with God, and even though it’s probably odd of me to come to know God through studying multiple different religions/ideologies, I think it’s the best path for me. I am such an over thinker, and even though I know now that I believe in God now for my own reasons even though I used to be such a stubborn atheist, I feel that learning of God from so many different backgrounds helps me fathom the miracle that God and his creation of humanity is. Ultimately, I believe, that just like every word has a different translation in every language, so does God. God is omniscient and it is only normal for all of his followers globally to know him by His own special name.

Mike Cassell I think that sounds nice but doesn't make a lot of sense when you think about it more deeply. Different religions have different foundational beliefs and so it would be impossible to piece together a cohesive view of the world from different beliefs which are all based on conflicting foundational beliefs. It's only possible for someone to hold to this "puzzle piece" view if they are unaware of what different religions actually teach or if they simply don't care about logical contradictions.

If you were to combine all religions, you would lose so much from the majority of them to the point you would essentially be a heretic in all of them.

I think the most realistic answer is that all religions are neither same nor all religions different from each other. Let me explain with the chair example itself. There are 4 people who approach the wooden brow chair. Two of them argue whether the chair is made of wood or plastic and two of them argue whether the chair has 3 or 4 legs. Now, among those who argue about whether chair is made of wood or plastic, only one can be right. Similarly, among those who argue about whether the chair has 3 or 4 legs, only one can be right. But two people here, the one who says chair is made of wood and one who says chair has four legs, are both right. This is the most realistic argument of the religions present in the world today. In a broad sense, only one of the Abrahamic religions can be true since they are all fighting about one thing i.e. who is the true/final messenger of God. Similarly, only one of the Dharmic religions (or rather philosophies) can be true because they are all fighting about the same thing which is what is the true nature of existence, specifically, is it oneness (Advaita Hinduism) or is it qualified oneness (non-Advaita Hinduism) or is it nothingness (Buddhism) or is existence just a product of collective actions of all sentient beings (Jainism)? However, saying that of all religions, including Dharmic and Abrahamic, only one is true is just absurd as Abrahamic religions talk of the messengers/prophets whereas Dharmic religions talk of the true nature of reality/existence. The two are completely independent. Although what I am doing here is a very broad categorization into just two groups (in reality, there are many groups), I hope people understand my point.

Great way to explain the differences among all the religions...

Thank you for your input, I respect all religions, I do find myself believing that all religions seem to have similar qualities with some differences. I do believe in a god, I just don’t follow any religion, personally I feel as though I can go to a Catholic Church and praise god, I can go to Christian, Muslim, and other worship temples and praise god too. Topics like these are hard to talk about, but it’s so important to educate yourself on all the religions, once you do that you start to realize that many things are the same. History tends to repeat itself

Ok but to use your chair analogy i think it's more like one group says "it's brown chair with no legs and a triangle shaped top" the next one says "it's blue chair with 4 legs with a round top" the next one says "it's a green chair with two legs and two knobs on the top" in this case it's more like a puzzle that has false pieces and you have to figure out which pieces are correct. When ppl say all religions are right this is what we mean

that was awesome!!!!! very nice. :)

I am schocked at so much negativity...why is it okay for other people to bash and oppose the beliefs of Christains and the Bible and not okay for Christians to oppose or disapprove of other Religion Views? I don't think his video was slanderous in any way, he was just stating what HE believes. You don't have to agree with him. Jesus gave free will to all men to decide what they will or will not believe, however the Christian is commanded to preach the gospel unto all nations and it is not up to us to convert or change....but to speak the truth and give people the oppurtunity to accept or to walk away.

Jesus still didn't return despite his promise to return before the gospel has been preached in Israel. That's probably because Jesus' divinity is a legend.

I don't particularly remember the movie "The Life of Pi," or even the book, which I did read, but Mike has it backwards: the point of the book, at least, was all religions are false, unless you define "true" as meaning something like that "true" religions make life bearable. Pi's companion on that life raft isn't a tiger, and God, or the gods, aren't real, either. (on the other hand, I found it interesting to think about Almighty Allah from a Hindu perspective: the crazy god who thinks that he's the Only God, and of course that'd be fit the Christian Trinity, too.)

I feel like it can be true that all religious are correct. When you look at the reasoning, for example the chair, of why they believe it’s wood, plastic or not there at all you may find that it’s similar but just through a different lens. For example if the chair was god. Some may say he is Omnipresent, one being and should be the only one worshiped while another would say he’s multiple things, separate beings, one may say there isn’t a god at all. When you start asking where these thoughts or ideologies come from you realize.. god is omnipresent, he is separate beings, and in order to fully understand him you will have to struggle with if god is there at all- you might feel as if we are all connected, chokes continue and there is no force driving it to be called god- but The people speaking these things are all human - on a 3D world trying to interpret a 4d, 5d, 6d, 8d dimension energy- that can not be fully describe. What all of the teaching do say together is to feel love and peace within yourself- because that is where god resides. Obviously I don’t know how to explain what god is but I do know that because it’s a being so complex, it is all those things. It’s our fault for only knowing our immediate reality, forcing things to fit within it.

Hey sorry i know this is a really old video, but i dont fully agree with that chair analogy. I would think of it more like one man is arguing that the chair is wooden and the other man is arguing that its blue. They can both be right but are clouded by their own words in a way that they arent able to see the full truth. Theres overlapping elemnts in almost all religions. It may evidence of some hard wiring into our brain to believe in some god we dont understand. Or it could just be how stories are told over long periods of time. Either way i take it as evidence that we cant know who god is and just go with whatever makes you feel most comfortable.

I think you could use the same principle on being baptized. The Bible leaves very few options when deciding whether or not being baptized is a required for salvation. .

My thoughts exactly.

Invitation to share thoughts accepted. It's not how all religions are the same or right. It's about how many things most religions have in common. It's also about how many fragments of 'truth' you can see within each religion. You should not go around telling people of different beliefs how you have the ONLY truth or the COMPLETE truth or ABSOLUTE truth. You should point out what truths you share and celebrate what you have in common. Which means the more truths another religion shares with yours, the closer they are to the connection with god. Example: Those of the Abrahamic faith can celebrate the fact that there is only one God. We may never agree to the nature and personality of God, but we all came from the same line of authority that is Abraham. Those of the Eastern faith can celebrate the idea of doing good deeds raises karma and gets one closer to breaking the cycle of reincarnation. Sikhs believe in what I have just written here. For them it does not matter what religion you practice. It only matters that your religion gives you a relationship with God which in turn lets you feel God's love.

Jesus left no compromise. He is the way the truth and the life. No man comes to the father but through Jesus. No man. He did not leave a back door open to the father. One way. One truth.

I ENJOYED THIS VIDEO VERY MUCH. WE SURELY HAVE TO RESPECT EACH OTHERS BELIEFS. IN THE PAST YEAR I TEND TO BELIEVE THAT ALL RELIGIONS ARE NONSENSE EVEN THOUGH IT'S EASY FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT JUDAISM IS THE RIGHT RELIGION BECAUSE MY IDENTITY IS JEWISH, BUT NO RELIGION CAN GIVE A CONVINCING PROOF THAT IT IS THE RIGHT ONE. ANYONE CAN BELIEVE IN WHATEVER THEY WANT, BUT WITHOUT FORCING THEIR BELIEF ON OTHER PEOPLE, BEST REGARDS FOR EVERYONE.

I always surprised by the difference in hair

Well the origin story seem to come from the same source, when history is studied, then you look at where the origin storys are told and where it has not been told, when you move through time and then find codes of law which we still have today, you find mainstream religion comes from the same region, then you look at history, not taking the historical account from one side, you see many conflicts fought for control of religion for there people,. This is actually a very deep subject, and only now since the human race has advanced, you can find with knowledge of the mechanism behind what makes things exsit, and as our understand becomes clearer we can look out further and see this mechanism not only governs us but everything. For those that don't believe, there was a time when television was impossible but it happened, since we have no evidence of life after death but it exists, just like you didnt know what was behind the door, but you had a idea because you've been their before.

Respectfully inquiring, have you ever studied some of the religions that predate Christianity such as Mithraism or Zoroastrianism? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Mithra, Bucchus, Dionysus, Horus, Tammaz and many others all considered son's of a god, who died and was resurrected after three days, all died for mankind, all taught "the way" both Mithra and Jesus turned water into wine and preformed other mircles. All born of a miracle birth, all supposedly born December 25th? All of these deities were Sun gods... Considering modern day religions, even today all religions unknowingly gives homage to sun worship/sun gods.

There is a forth option : His massage became corrupted

Wizard's First Rule

In many things people search logic to believe something. But, when it comes to religious faith, they do not search for logical truth. They just believe the beliefs which came in hereditary. If people examine Bible definitely they will come to conclusion that every word in it is logical truth. Every other religion is Incoherent and illogical and leads to destruction. If someone believe that Jesus Christ is just a good person without any evil, or just a prophet came from God , then for that person there is only one option is left. That is to believe what Jesus had claimed about himself. And his claims proves He is God came in flesh. Some of his claims are, To have preexisted His own birth (John 8:58). To have known Abraham (John 8:56-58). Moses wrote of Him in Scripture (John 5:39, 45-46). To be greater than Jonah and Solomon (Matthew 12:41-42). To know God personally (Matthew 11:27). God was His Father (John 5:17-18). He came from heaven (John 8:42). He is the only access to God (John 14:6). He is the world’s Messiah (John 4:25-26). To be the only way of salvation from sin (John 5:24; 3:13-15; 6:40; 8:24). Everyone must bow to Him and call Him Lord (John 13:13; cf. Romans 14:11). His blood brings remission (Matthew 26:28). To be sinless (John 18:23. To give life to those He chooses (John 5:21). Believers can pray and receive anything (Matthew 21:22). The dead will hear His voice (John 5:28-29). He will judge the world (John 5:22). His followers will never perish (John 8:51) (John 17:5) "And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began." Luke 22:69 "But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God." Matthew 25:31-32 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep and the goats."

ONE RELIGION IS CERTAINLY RIGHT 😇 I LOVE IT.

In what Hindu scripture does it say life is a curse and the goal is to stop existing? I've never heard that before in 20 years studying Hinduism both in and out of Academia. I've never heard any teacher say that. For someone who promotes honesty, I don't think this is an honest representation of Hindu beliefs. But, I would ask you to site your scriptural source or teacher of repute.

My advise. Firstly, We must have same definition or meaning of the truth/true/right. We must use same method to determine the truth/true/right. Believe => claim = test/check = see. This is normally practice by everybody when we buy/accept something/good which is expensive from other people(we see or we do not see). Our faith is very expensive.Please open Al Quran Surah Al Hujurat 49: 6. O who believe! If a Fasiq (liar-evil person) comes to you with and news, verify it, lest you should harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful for what you have done. Please open your Bible John 4:1. Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test to see whether they are from God, for false prophets have gone out into the world. We test and verify the claim/message words of god from Bible (can see), Torah (can see), Al Quran(can see), and other religion books. We must get/see same result(claim=test/check=see) or not. God(can not see) create man(can see). Man worship god. Question: How is god create man? What Method? God create man from ground dust(Torah,Bible, Quran) or man rib(Torah, Bible,Quran) or woman only(Bible,Quran) or Nutfah(mix drop of male and female sexual discharge)-Quran or other religion books?. We do testing/experimenting to verify it, by using these method to create man. Everybody can test, verify and see it. Which method can create/produce man?.Answer: The claim/message/words of god in Al Quran is truth/true/right. This religion is truth/true/right. So, we have to believe it . Please, read and think. Sorry, my English is not very good.

That's your perspective

Great train of thought. Funny thing is. That I could tell you were Chirstian before you actually said it. Why? You are very logically trying to explain what you want to believe. Please dont take it as an insult. Consider this. For example your chair analogy. All three people CAN be truthfull. Subjectivity is part of the truth. Without it objectivity can not exist. A bee will experience seeing a chair in a totally different way that you will. It doesn't make the one more true than the other. They are both true. Just a different perception. Can it not be the case that perception itself is truth? No matter how you percieve it?

I agree.

And your example of the three chairs is not at all relavant to saying that all religions are basically the same. It's not that black and white (or green and blue, or whatever colors the chairs were). In Hinduism they actually believe in Brahman, which is the God of all Gods, which resides in all of us (like the Holy Spirit) and he can incarnate into man, like Jesus. And our souls are on a mission and when that mission is complete we actually achieve moksha, which is to realize ones union with God and be liberated from the death-rebirth cycle and achieve a state of bliss, much like heaven. These are the similarities. So instead, it's more like all three men are looking at one brown chair. One man was taught that brown is called "red" and another man was taught that brown is called "blue". So they argue and argue thinking each other is wrong when really they are seeing the same thing but calling it different names

True. I am a Hindu and I think the same . Actually Christianity and hinduism are very alike . All religions basically have same essence. I think somewhere in the past all religions were interpreted to control the masses by some greedy people to keep the power. Islam is the same still now. Some Christians are like that. And I think church did it. Hinduism was also interpreted by some greedy people that's how caste system came to be but it was reformed again and again . If someone really understands religion and really has ever had any true religious revealings I don't think that person will ever fight with another just because they don't speak the same tongue.

All religion may have some truth to it, or some resemblance of truth. But when they contradict, and they all do, they cannot all be right. What you describe are superficial similarities, but are in fact very different. In Christianity there is only one eternal God of tree equal parts, and all other beings are created. God incarnated himself only once as Jesus of Nazareth, and said that "I am they way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me". When we come home to our father in heaven we do not loose ourselves, but we become truly ourselves. We do not become one with the cosmos and loose our person.

Atheists can be the most frustrating, negative nancys in the world! A guide to talking to atheists as a video topic would be great. My problem is not that they disagree with me, it’s that they spew all this venom and hate to the point where it’s hard to get a word in edgewise. They are like little kids with their thumbs in their ears and stamping their feet while repeating “I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you!” I try to remind myself I’m not fighting the flesh here - I’m in a spiritual battle fighting the darkness that resides in these people. I’m trying to plant seeds with these people and get souls back from Satan and the mongrel is really putting up a fight! Tips on what to say to my atheist buddies would be great!

I am pretty sure there is the concept of heaven and hell in hinduism contrary of what he said in 2:24.

Nobody should be telling you what life is, because life is how we perceive it. To say that either all religions are wrong or one is right doesn't seem correct to me. Although these religions are quite different on the surface level, they all essentially have the same core. As humans we are limited to our senses. In the case of the chairs, who is to say that the chair they see is the 'true' chair? Which one of them is to say that the others are looking at it incorrectly? Obviously this variance isn't that apparent in the physical world, but in a spiritual world that we can barely grasp, the differences are enormous. I can only imagine how different life would be if I could look through another person's eyes. None of us know the absolute truth. We can only hope/speculate.

4:20 OR, he is saying that you are god too. The difference is that he realized it an you didn't.

I think we should argue that not all world views can be right. We need go free our minds from the dichotomy between religion and non-religion. There is only different world views, some believe in one or more deities, and others do not. Each has do be defended by themselves and not lumped together and judged as a group. Those who subscribe to world views without God like to put themselves above religion, and like to judge them as a group, but do not like to disclose their own beliefs. That way they can judge and feel good about themselves, without exposing themselves. I have a problem using atheist as a definition of a world view, because that only tell what it is not, not what it is. Those who defined them selves as atheists need to define what they believe, not what they do not. Do they believe in an eternal universe (not a big bang), or do they believe in Materialism (matter is all that exists) and in chance so unlikely that it could never have happened. Do they believe in the multiverse (to increase the chance of this universe), which it anything but scientific. They also have to defend their believes.

Simply perspective , a higher power exists sone believe there is an upper and lower room other believe we don’t have a place after death while there still being a higher power .

Why would Jesus claim to be the son of God yet also be God? If your response is the holy trinity! Then wouldn't that make Hinduism right and the others steps to get there? Unless it's just how you explained it.

People believe what they want to believe by making facts twist accordingly, so they do feel great about what they believe. basically crawling back to the same believe system as they have identified themselves with when they born. When the suspicion hits, they draw conclusions like this. Sad.

i believe that, as any great teacher has, Jesus did not speak in literal terms every time he spoke. i believe that he often worded complex ideas as analogies and allegories. Every religious or spiritual text is supposed to be able to be understood by children, and making comparison to something familiar is one of the easiest ways to learn. I am in the process of writing an essay proposing that every major religion is fundamentally identical. i hope to send it to you when complete to look for any loopholes in my logic.

Jenn, I'm glad you are looking into the beliefs of various religions and I would enjoy looking at your conclusions. As someone who has spent a great many hours studying various religions I only caution you not to force your conclusion on your research. If you end up making all religions fundamentally the same by offering new interpretations of those religion's core values and worldviews a then you will have done a disservice to them.

Shah Esfelazi Him looking at it isn't going to do any good. He has his beliefs set so there is going to be an automatic confirmation bias. We all have one based on our world view and what we believe. It's very difficult to change what you already have set in your mind as fact. For instance I believe in Astrology. Not the fortune telling horoscope Astrology but astrology that goes along with various occult orders. I have my view on how the universe works and how we affect it and vice versa. It would be very hard to change those beliefs as I've seen, done, and have done some pretty impressive things based on those beliefs. Likewise Christian's have the same effects. What you belief and have faith in can have some pretty profound effects on your life. Now, I'm not here to argue about who's right and who's wrong as I believe we both are right to some extent. We just have a different way of seeing how the universe works. It is all in the Bible though for all who have eyes to see it and ears of understanding. Milk for babes.

Ther's only one answer to this. It's a total logical misconception to say either all are wrong or one is right. ALL RELIGIONS ARE RIGHT! Religions have existed with the human beeing since we learned to walk on our two legs. Because mankind's brain developed to the extent that we became self aware and questioned our purpose in life, religion was a necessity for "finding a peace of mind" and to give rise to civilization. It's been in our genetics for thousands of years. That a lot people fail to accept this and still claim their religion is the only one, is merely a sympton of the diagnosis called "cognitive dissonance".

Yes Same idea by different nations

4:39 or either the scriptures have been changed and people that claimed to be prophets like paul weren't actually prophets and they were just there to destroy what Jesus (peace be upon him) preached (Believing in one creator, pray god, faith cant save you alone, be good to others, etc) We do not know what the original scriptures looked like in Christianism. The oldest bible manuscript that we found was in the 9th century and we don't know what was the real message that Jesus preached because it may have been changed. In many books, we don't even know who are the authors and many books were written by people that have never seen Jesus (peace be upon him). Think about it.

They all cant be right but they all can be wrong. How do you prove any of them?

Since romans have documents that prove Jesus was real I think he was just a smart man who had good morals.

A smart man that had good morals, yet claimed to be God. I don’t know that many smart people claiming to be God, it’s usually the ones with mental illness or drug addictions. Either Jesus was a crazed carpenter that believed he was God, or He was God.

The truth is every religion is the same. The chair remains a chair regardless who is lookin at it. How you see the chair doesn’t define the chair but it defines you doesn’t it?

Refering to the example with the chair. If the chair is god (or gods) there is no chair at all because there is no proof that there is one. It is only a hallucination of a chair.

Im catholic but I think that all the prayers from all the people from every religion go to the father. In all races and religions there are good and bad people, in other words those that obey and those that disobey its very important on how we treat each other and i think that's what god really looks for. Our religion is our foundation on how we must be obedient and to love others not on who is right and wrong and not to be judgmental. Everything that has to do with God is a mystery and it will always be we will never know the truth until we pass on to the next life...thats what i think, great video by the way.

Thank you Mike Winger for sharing us your idea, For me, I insist that there is only one way to reach the heaven, it is through Jesus Christ our Lord. By calling him, Lord, God, Savior, and the Protector. BUT: I do believe that any body can go to the heaven if they haven't ever had a chance to meet Jesus, or they haven't known enough about him.. He is the only way in case if you recognize him but then you rejected him (here you have no options, you either believe in him, or you go to the hell) But if I didn't know him (or not enough knowing) I can reach the heaven by my good works

Hey, just seeing your comments after all these years! lol. Has your theology grown since then? I am curious because you last line is very unbiblical. Romans tells us "there is no one righteous not even one. There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God." No amount of good works will get us to heaven because the standard is perfection. God does not grade on a curve here. You are either perfect your entire life from womb to tomb or you need a savior. Have a great weekend!

Ok so think about it like this! which marvel universe is the best? Wouldn't you say the one that you first saw and/or the one you like the best maybe you on like that cannon version over the other so you have people to talk about it with
