[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are large numbers of religious peoples of all faith who not only recognize that the message of their religion is not unique, they actually value all the other sources of this message.  Just because the message is not unique does not mean that you have to disown your particular source of that message.  Many people even believe in some or all of the "supernatural" parts of their religion, and respect the "supernatural" parts of other religions.

Is it confusing?  Yes, it is.  Some of us are comfortable with something that people can not quite understand.  Some of us know that, just as most people can not understand in detail (to the ability to do calculations with concrete predictions) einstein's theory of relativity, but neverthessless believe in it,  maybe all people really just can not understand a "truth" that is echoed in many religions, including the one they value.[/quote]

So in sum, you're picking and choosing what you like and discarding what you don't.  Based on what, exactly? Again - cognitive dissonance. Nothing more.  Good luck.

which means that a NEW religion is branching off from one with an "established" set of guidelines

People do this all the time.  They redefine beliefs based on surroundings/events/experiences that shaped them.  Do you think this wasn't occurring since the start of time?

Religions have different prophets.  Should Jesus trump Muhammad?   And that's exactly where we end up - prophet fighting prophet.  good versus good!  lol

What if aliens existed?  And let's say the apocalypse occurred.  Would it only affect us on Earth or would it affect our universe?  What if the one-eyed green ET from Tsaurus had a different god?  What if multiple gods existed?

What if . . .

But how many of you ask yourself, "What if?"   b/c if you did you'd start to question how insignificant we all are in the big scheme of things - Yet these religious beliefs somehow create an arrogant barrier that's impervious to the "What if?"

It's safer - more comforting - to stay in your cocoons.  [/quote]
