I've been asking theists this one, seeming straight forward question for decades, and not one had been able to answer. Including some pretty well known apologists.
Just as a reminder, 1.8 billion Muslims, 2.2 billion Christians, 1.2 billion Hindus, 500 million Buddhists, etc, etc, all use faith to get to their religious beliefs. And we know they can't all be right, but they could all be wrong.
We all have the same God. There is only one God who reveals himself to those who sincerely seek him, no matter what religion they claim.
Oh, bloody hell! You are so biased, that probably can't even tell what is wrong with your statement.
Not to beat a dead horse, but those 1.2 billion Hindus and 1.8 billion Muslims say the same types of things about their god.
But to clarify, are you saying that if a Hindu, sincerely seeks Vishnu, Vishnu will reveal himself to them? Or are you saying, that if they sincerely seek Vishnu, your god will step in and reveal himself to the Hindu?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
