These are all false gods even the religions outside of Christianity that have one god, so if they believe they have heard the voice of their god/s they are fooling themselves. This comes from the authority of the one true God who says, "there are no other gods except for me." Most all the other religions say there are other gods outside of their religion, why, because man has made a competition of their religions, I believe some Christians see it as a competition which is not supported by the scriptures.
I understand how you view it and what you believe. What I mean is that your responses could have been given by anyone who is a devout believer in any god. There is no way to know for sure who is right because each person can say the same thing and truly and sincerely believe it. You are telling me that it's your god that is true, and you know it for sure and those others must be misled in some way. But they can say the same and there is no way to show which one is right.
If every person that searched for god 'correctly' found the same god, it would be an undeniable witness that there is such a being guiding people. I have no doubt that you and Drich and many others have sought out god with sincerity and humility and been given an answer that leaves you with no question that god has led you to him. I also have no doubt that many others have done the same thing and found a different god. No one who has done so can produce something that would convince all of the others that they are mistaken or misled. This is striking. God is at once so easy to find that it is inexcusable to deny him, yet so difficult to find that billions get it wrong.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
