We cant prove there is one right? We cant disprove that their isnt one. So why isnt it just easier to say that none of us really know.
And the only way to make a seperation of what is true is by what it is you choose to believe. And that dont mean that your choices are going to lead you to heaven or to hell. What do you think about that? Oh no then that would mean that no one is wrong, and we would not have superiority over one another in believing so. That would mean we were equals. Is this only concept? I dont know I ask you?

It hurts your feelings when someone pokes fun or makes disparaging comments about what you believe in. You know it does. People’s beliefs are precious to them, just as yours are precious to you. Simply thinking or saying but my beliefs are right and theirs are wrong does not help. In fact it is always seen as arrogant and often comes off making the one saying it sound like a fool.

People believe in what makes sense to them from their perspective, even if it makes no sense logically when it is looked at from any other perspective. Look around you at the great diversity the creator has given us to experience in this life. See the colorful and ever changing panorama that we have here to experience within. If this shows us any one thing about our creator, it makes it apparent that He/She loves this idea of diversity. If you look at any aspect of life, trees, birds, languages, or even sunsets you see an almost dizzying array of possibilities. This life we have been given by our Father/Mother God is a veritable feast of diversity from which we may chose what pleases us.

Such is the gift this life we have been given. Why is it so hard to imagine that our creator’s obvious love for diversity would not extend to the way his children expressed their love for him? If it seemed appropriate to have thousands of types of insects, birds, trees and sunsets etc. how likely is it that She would have suddenly become so narrow minded when it came to ways to express ones faith. Think about it. Just for a moment forget what you have been told over and over about their being only one correct way to approach God. Would this God who so obviously thrives on diversity even want that? When viewed from this perspective it makes one wonder about the source of the my-way or the highway idea of god. Sounds a lot more like ego bound narrow-minded human control issues than the work of our God who seems to have made diversity his trademark.

There is only one God; He/She has had many names. After all should we expect people who speak different languages to all call God by the same name? This would hardly seem to be a logical expectation. Jesus told us to love our neighbor, not to judge our neighbor or try to fix our neighbor, Only to love them. We are hardly being loving when we are insulting the way they express their love for our creator by telling them we have a better way. This can only make us seen like an arrogant know it all. The obvious consequence being our comments will hurt their feelings and they will say or do something to return the insult.

If we want our faith to grow we need to stop going around singing “MY Gods better than your God “. We need to shut up about their beliefs and start teaching by example. If we have learned anything about loving our neighbors like Jesus asked us to, it will show. People will be drawn to this loving belief system and want to know more about it. This is what being a Christian means. Anything else is just being an arrogant know it all.

You can't just say we should all just get along and agree we don't know if there is a god or not, because it is a difference of opinion between everyone. I'm not willing to agree that there might be a god, because I know that there isn't one. I have good reasons to believe that. Also, nobody who truly believes in god is going to want to settle and think that he might not be real. It is against there religion, and they do believe so why would they. It is just against the way the world is... it is never going to happen. I don't mean that everyone shouldn't just accept what others believe and stop trying to convince eachother to change religions..its not working, its just that nobody is going to change what they believe to settle.

Acceptance of a supernatural declare has a tendency to advertise cooperative social relationships. This conversation demonstrates a willingness to receive, with out skepticism, the affect of the speaker in some way very similar to a youngster's recognition of the affect of a guardian. By encouraging this style of conduct wherein probably the most severe social relationships arise it allows the loss of skepticism and deters extra open minded considering. They are christian, Muslim or the opposite religions relying wherein they have been born readily on the grounds that they have been indoctrinated through their moms and dads as very small children. They will move directly to indoctrinate their possess kids and the ones will move directly to indoctrinate their grandchildren!! Atheists have the mind to peer via the conditioning and break out into the truly international!! Agnostics have the mind to peer via the conditioning however lack the braveness to throw of the conditioning utterly. Sadly Christians are nonetheless held firmly prisoner through the self perpetuating brainwashing!!

We are all immortal and these organic bodies that we use as a training tool to help our true self learn using a multitude of different life experiences. Kinda like an A.I program for our true self. If that makes sense or if you believe it. So we may all be gods that are constantly learning and evaluating or experiences. But I really don't know the answer to your question.

Sweetie you have such a beautiful perspective! I also believe that people should be free to believe what suits them. The problem I see is that some (certainly not all) Christians only see things in black and white, so they refuse to let people be free....they even want to base the laws of the land on their interpretation of their bible. They see it as perfect and something that should be upheld by everyone, not just those of their faith....that is very very scary!

The only conclusion to this is Yes there is a God Almighty ,he is JESUS CHRIST he was born a man and walk this earth as man,then he gave his life for those that believe in Him,He died on that cross so we would have salvation,the blood of the Lamb, is JESUS if you do not believe in Him and confess your sins by your mouth to Him you will go to Hell,but if you believe God is the almighty then you believe That Jesus is The SON

You may find yourself being trampled by believers challenging your right to say that.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then He is not omnipotent.

Is God able, but not willing?
Then He is malevolent.

Is He both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?

Is He neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?
