Quote:in one of Belacqua's last posts he mentions the Taoist definition for God and i believe their definition and the Christian definition are very similar, maybe exactly the same. do people not believe that all of the possible conceptions of God are referring to the same God? i do: in case it helps, i believe Christianity is the "one true faith" because it combines the truths of all other religions and was meant to discontinue them so that we're unified under one faith.How convenient for the one true religion. Baha'i nutters do the same thing, claim the entirety of all other faiths while simultaneously rejecting them. It seems to me like you know that they don't believe in the god you do, and you know that you don't believe in the god they do. Pointless.
Pointless, and wrong in point of fact. Christianity does not combine the truths of all other religions, regardless of what truths any religion holds. It's influences were strictly limited to a tiny spot on the globe, in particular frame of time. Is it important for your beliefs to even remotely approximate the truth, or would that be optional for the one true religion?
