Hell

[Matthew]

Matthew, define god please.
There are so many different versions, a lot of them based on scripture, that I have no idea what you are typing about.

There is only one correct interpretation of Scripture, the same as with any text. The word 'God' refers to God as described by Scripture. I cannot define God any more than a bacterium can define a human being.

As a xtian theist, your claim is not that there is this anonymous god but the xtian god. I cannot see how it is a basic belief given that many different gods have apprently revealed themselves. Is belief in Ganesh also properly basic, he is well known to the personal experiences and lives and hindus?

My claim here is that if God exists, then belief in God is basic, and therefore rational. Very obviously, if God does not exist, then belief in Him cannot be basic. It may well be the case that if Ganesh exists, then belief in Ganesh is basic. The question is, which of these beliefs can actually provide the foundation for a worldview that accurately describes the world.
