Why can't God exist but no religions are correct?

>>17929895 (OP)
Nothing (well, nothing people would be exposed to normally) is either completely true or completely false. Everything is some degree of true. Within religion, you'll have lots of different people each with conceptions which might be almost completely false or very enlightened and true

What if some things from Christianity are true, some things from Buddhism, some from Islam, etc. etc. Why does it have to be all or nothing assuming you don't adhere to dogma?

>>17929927
There are true things in all of them since they're all based on the observations of highly developed people (maybe not so in the case of Islam), but they're also all defined by the specific point in history at which they entered the world. For example, because Buddhism began before the resurrection, its outlook is a lot more pessimistic and centred around an eternal time loop in which humanity is stuck. Christianity, because it was established after the resurrection, which is a one way event that can't be undone, is centred around the idea of humanity's reascent towards God. Islam, because it began after the resurrection but denies the idea of ascent towards God, is perhaps the most regressive.

>why does it have to be all or nothing
A lot of people see it that way since its hard to see how two things that contradict on the surface might both be true, it requires pretty advanced thinking

I dont see any flaws in the characterization of God in the person of Christ

The world is made up of many different particulars (like religions) but all have a source in the universal cause of everything (God).

There is no "true" religion because the single truth can be found within all, veiled under the particular ideas and forms we humans have created trying to express something that is inexpressible. Conversion between religions is pointless and people will always naturally view things from the particulars culture and belief systems they were raised in.

Sure.

Religions aren't primarily (or even secondarily) sets of explicit claims that you can evaluate as being right or wrong. Even Christianity, which has had people trying make it as explicit and propositional as possible, still has mostly negations to explain its core dogmas (that the Trinity is NOT modalistic, NOT arian ...). So religions not being "correct" is not the optimal way to view things. Religions are transforming you and putting you in touch with something supernatural. A few might have degenerated into achieving nothing at all, sure, but it's mostly about participation, not about evaluating claims about XYZ.

God exists and it's guaranteed that no religion can fully describe Him. Because language cannot fully describe Him. Human thought cannot fully contain Him. But insofar as we have the capacity to be in touch with the real, we can point our attention in a particular direction and many people seem to have received something with their attention that they considered worth sharing. One of the most notable ones being the Son of God walking among us.

I wouldn't be surprised if hell didn't exist before humans made it up and the first people to go there were the ones who were trying to intimidate others into believing with tales of eternal suffering.

all religions are correct. they all point to Love (God). but atheists like you don't give a fuck about that

>>17929895 (OP)
That’s called deism

>>17929895 (OP)
Thats just deism.

What could be more humiliating than that? Yet he overcame humiliation and conquered death. His word reached every corner of the world without raising His hand in violence. In fact, pleaded for the forgiveness of those that murdered Him, and preached to love your enemies.
Could any others even come close to this level of grace?

Guys, you just re discover Freemasonry

If God does exist I’d like to order a hot sexy ai but physical rise kujikawa wife. You can age her up to 18 if the age gap is an issue. Please. I’m begging you God.

Seems like there are only three ways we could know about God: ancient stories, personal revelation, and philosophical arguments. If no religions are correct, then clearly the first two are unreliable. And the use of philosophical arguments for God's existence postdates belief based on the first two things by a considerable amount, so it seems suspiciously like people trying to rationalize a belief they were raised in despite it being on shaky foundations (of course it's still worth examining the specifics of these arguments, but they're nothing great). None of that means God CAN'T exist, but I don't see that we have any good reasons for believing it if we reject all religious authorities.
