It's just by sheer luck that you were born where you were, otherwise you'd be swearing black and blue that Allah is God. Or Vishnu?
But be grateful that you hit the jackpot and are worshipping the correct ONE TRUE GOD™!because the other 4 billion pilgrims devote their lives to false Gods. And die for him. And kill others for him.
How lucky are you!
Sorry matey, your indoctrination has tied your logic circuits in a knot. True story™.
I have thought about that. My God has certain values that I believe are correct to follow. I don't know what else to say.
And yet you haven't read the whole bible to know what type of god is depicted there.
What you believe is a bunch of highly filtered platitudes about "love thy neighbor" which are common to almost all religions, plus a story about a god-man cheating death and promising that those that believe in him as God will get into heaven.
When you read the OT, you will have a choice:
- Believe that the bible is the word of God, and the brutal, jealous, capricious entity depicted is in fact the god of the universe. Then become a fundamentalist
- Believe that the bible isn't actually the word of God, but that you want to believe in the NT version of Jesus-as-God anyway
- Believe that the bible is a pile of man-made stories, some good some bad, part mythologized history but mostly just myth, and completely unreliable for morals or spirituality.
You haven't even mentioned where you are coming from with your beliefs, so it is impossible to have a meaningful discussion with you.
