has humanity finally understood that GOD could not care less which path you take, or which title you use when talking - All ideas and concepts of GOD are correct. So we, humanity can stop killing each other over these issues, and work on advancing our spiritual identity so as a people we can reach heaven and be in the pressence of GOD?

arpgme - I am a Roman Catholic, raised in California, USA. Also, I am retired Navy, submariner. Also I see no reason to think I am on the right path any more than others.

Dawn W - If you want logic - then humanity is not the place to look for it when dealing with each other. Humanity is about emotions.

Chainsaw - Yes, your ideas have crossed my mind. I of course don't know anything...

Nil - I thought GOD was the GOD of all? When a person says GOD is the GOD of all - I always think of ALL, not just the faith of the person talking, I think every atom in existance.
Interesting... well I am rarely correct.

We don't all have the same perspective of God and we're willing to fight wars and kill over our 'superior' belief in God. I agree with you if you believe that we're all fighting over the same god. Somebody's just the wrong idea....maybe one's right, the other's wrong, or they both are. OR they're both right and all these wars are happening because of some devine plan. It's not a crazy thought considering all the natural disasters such as the Tsunami's, 9/11,Earthquakes, forrestfires, and Hurricane Katrina. Oh yea, what about world hunger?...and all the disease. If you read revelation it says that all of these things will happen right before God comesback...but wait...who's god?

All concepts of God cannot be correct. For in Christianity, Jesus is the only way to God. In many other religions, Jesus is not the only way to God. Thus, either the Christian God is not true, or other Gods are not true.
This is a basic example of how religions contain irreconcilable differences, and how your statement is logically in error. "God" is simply a translation of "deity" which is why so many religions use it; it does not mean all religions worship the same entity. Yahweh, Allah, Lucifer, Zeus, and others are clearly not the same entity.

Yes I agree with you that if such a powerful being exists then She is certainly way above all the nonsense of doctrines and dogmas and theologies and churches. She wouldn’t give a rat’s butt what people believe and if She wanted everyone to believe the same thing then that would be very, very easy to achieve. I also agree with you that all concepts of god are correct for the reason that if this being is infinite then it is everything.

Sorry, I don't agree. He has definitely said what he likes and what he dislikes and the thought that everything is fine with him smacks of Free Masonry. Would you be happy with your wife if she did just any old thing she wanted? Nope. You have your idea of what is acceptable in your marriage the same as God.

I cannot believe that faiths so VASTLY different can all be CORRECT. Isn't that a contradiction? It lacks even an ounce of logic.

You write that humanity is about emotions.....true, but your question was not about humanity. It was about God and ideas/concepts concerning Him. I do not believe God would give such vastly different instructions to humanity.

Religion may seem to be what people are fighting about, but that's not the real issue. It's fear and hatred and misunderstanding, those are the issues. With or without religion, those would still exist.

Yes! You speak the truth! I have always believed that there is more than one path to God.

All paths probably do lead to GOD but not if we are KILLING over religion?
