Right or wrong religion?

[Shantanu]

Hence "unity in diversity"

That kind of universal love and unity is the wrong attitude for individual survival.

What is right attitude toward human life in your opinion?

 

[Shantanu]

What is right attitude toward human life in your opinion?

You set high ideals and do everything to attain those ideals at an individual level.

 

[Spirit of Light]

You set high ideals and do everything to attain those ideals.

What id one can not reach the ideals because they are unrealistic?

 

[Shantanu]

What id one can not reach the ideals because they are unrealistic?

You have to fight to protect your ideals because your ideals are your soul.

 

[Spirit of Light]

You have to fight to protect your ideals because your ideals are your soul.

I must say i disagree with you on this.
Ideals has nothing to do with a soul.

When you say 'I' am this: what do you think 'I' means?

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

Human sacrifice is objectively wrong.

There's no such thing as objective morality.

Out of curiosity, how much of the living population would you estimate to be theists?

According to these statistics, 84 percent of the world population has a faith.

 

[Jainarayan]

From an objective standpoint and in a simplistic fashion there is either:

• One God
• A Pantheon
• No God/s

These are mutually exclusive and only one can be correct. How one worships isn't the issue necessarily, but wittling it to 'whatever works for you' is, in my opinion, feel-good rubbish.

Or one God that takes many forms and names, and appears to each believer in a way meaningful to the believer.

 

[Jainarayan]

And is God manifest in other humans as well, or just you?

Everyone and everything. It's God's nature to create, explore, experience.

 

[Jainarayan]

If you were living as God as a human, you would not be thinking in terms of right vs. wrong. You would not judge by the clothing one wears to suit the day. Nor would you be elevating others above each other. God does not divide.

That's an effect of being part of the material universe.

Or one God that takes many forms and names, and appears to each believer in a way meaningful to the believer.

That would, in my view, nullify the oneness of a monotheistic god. It certainly would in a Judaic framework.

Not necessarily. It's still one God.

 

[Rival]

Not necessarily. It's still one God.

Yes, but the concept of oneness goes above and beyond that within traditional Jewish theology. I'm not expecting you to agree with the theology of course, I'm just putting it out there that this would not be acceptable to Noahides and Jews as a monotheistic concept, since that god would essentially be divided and the division would negate the absolute oneness.

So do I. But I am explicitly an atheist, even an anti-theist.

And I know for a fact that many apatheists and atheists simply do not bother to make explicit their stance.

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

I think it depends on motives. If the messengers are just trying to make everyone conform, then its meaningless.

If there trying to clear up confussions and tell people to do whats right, thats different.

How about if they're trying to "make disciples of all nations?"

So you have faith in atheism and anti-theism?

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

So you have faith in atheism and anti-theism?

Exactly what do you think "faith in atheism" or "faith in anti-theism" could possibly mean?

I assume you meant something meaningful, but I have no idea what you're trying to say.

 

[Jollybear]

How about if they're trying to "make disciples of all nations?"

Disciple just means to self discipline one self to follow the teachings or commandments of Jesus (aka, self regulate, aka, do whats right simply because its right).

So, to "make disciples of all nations" simply means that its Gods goal for everyone to follow the golden rule. God wants that preached, proclaimed and tought and discoursed on with all authority.
