There are lots of stories about gods. That's "the claim of atheists".
Quote:With respect to the Divine Attributes that come from general revelation, I cannot find any substantial differences between the De Fide of the Catholic Church and the Westminster Confession of the Reformed Church. The statements of faith of most mainline churches, despite minor doctrinal differences, read the same with respect to the attributes of GodThe defining difference between sects is christology...for a religion called "christianity"....that seems significant.
Quote:I am not an expert on Islam. I get the sense that it is almost all dependent on special revelation and from my limited exposure their list of divine attributes have notable differences. At the same time I have read some Sufi commentaries that seem to conform with the divine attributes advocated by Christians. The same is true for Hinduism. There pantheon is bound by a single Ground of Being that seems remarkably similar to the Christian God of general revelation and the God of the Philosophers known to the ancient pagans.Cultural appropriation. I bet you think everybody is talking abut your god. Not even the jews or muslims are talking about your god...there's that one -massive- bit of disagreement...you know, christ.
