... From a neutral standpoint, which religion is right?

They cannot all be right, but they can all be wrong.

Of course they can all be wrong. But there could be something true in each one too.

But what is wrong about Christ dying for our sins, being entombed and being roused from the dead? Ah, there's the rub.

Not satisfied with the human DNA findings the Starchild project decide to do their own DNA tests using a very conveniently anonymous geneticist and an anonymous lab.
The Starchild project declare that their latest DNA tests show that the skull was not human after all.....but alien.
The Starchild project put up their latest DNA findings and conclusions on their dedicated Starchild project website.

When people debate the subject of the Starchild, the Starchild apologists would always quote the findings off the starchild website.

The debates would generally go............
Debater A: "The Starchild is merely a deformed human."

Debater B: "No it's not, it's alien..........it says so here"......... (They link to the Starchild website!)

"Jesus was virgin born and was resurrected because it says so here".........(link to the Bible!)
You would have been a believer 2000 years ago after you put your hands into His nail holes and into His side.

What is wrong with taking responsibility for your own thoughts, deeds and actions?

Other than the lack of evidence for it, the violation of the law of physics, and the NEED for dying for "sins, nothing.

The religion that is right is the one that is the uncorrupted word and teachings of the All-Benevolent.

Admittedly, the bible has some truth. But so does any book.

Obviously Christianity because god said so and Jesus died for our sins. Hinduism is a lie because the bible says you will not bow before idols and Islam is wrong because jesus did not die for their sins. Christianity is the correct religion. Move on

Maybe NONE of them is right! Food for thought......
