They're not mutually exclusive. All the faiths you mentioned believe in one all powerful and all knowing God who created and sustains our universe. Hindus and Sikhs don't even try to proselytize because they believe that other religions can lead to the same God. These faiths agree that it is impossible to totally comprehend God in our human state. They have different ideas about God based on religious and cultural differences. They can't all be right about those things, but they all can be right about the existence of God. Those who believe in him are moving toward that goal of comprehending God completely.
Earlier in this thread we were discussing quasars. Astronomers all agree that quasars exist, but the don't agree on what they are or what their total effects on the universe are. Nonetheless they know that they exist.
Quote:If your god is so hidden from the type of method, that he should know is the best way from telling fact from fantasy, why is that my fault? If he exists, he created my this way, unable to believe without good evidence and reasoned argument. And yet, he continues to fail to provide said evidence. Again, how can I be responsible for my disbelief
I think we'll all come to that belief eventually. It will just take some longer than others. And yes, I think you are to blame.
I take it back about the blame part. That's not for me to judge. Sorry.
