There is nothing objective about God. God is a subjective ideal in the minds of men, just as 'the artist Leonardo' and 'the artist Michelangelo' are now subjective ideas in the minds of men, based on paintings, and statues, and stories, and art-historical dogma. They are very similar to the mythologized ideas of Jesus and Mohamed that various cultures and religions hold.
The analogy is quite apropos if you stop and give it a little thought.
What I mean when I say that it is not subjective, is that certain things from the religious texts when we look at the established religions are not based on people's subjective opinions about them. Like for instance, it's not your subjective opinion whether or not you believe that God of the bible had a sidekick called God the second. The bible is fairly clear about how many "real" Gods there is. Same when it comes to Islam, and I assume hinduism is probably also pretty clear about how many gods they have, or at least that there are more than one.
The experience a person might have relating to God(s) is subjective, which is basically what im asking about, how they know that this experience is from the God they believe in or from one of the false god(s). Because you have people on both sides, and all the gods can't be true. So if people can't tell the difference between true and false gods, what reason did they then have to choose the god they did?
So it is not the same, when talking about art, because it is not specifically stated that one artist or painting is better than the other. So it's a subjective opinion which of them you like the best. And because you chose one artist over the other, doesn't mean that the other artist is necessarily worse, because it is simply your subjective opinion.
But if you claim that your experience of God is the correct one, and the basic understanding of this God, is that he is supreme and the only one, then the other religions claim about their gods must per definition be wrong, otherwise your own religion would be. These religious claims are contradictory whether or not your opinion of whatever God(s) you believe in is subjective, does that make it more clear what I mean?
We have no idea if any God exists, or how many, or in what way(s). So your insistence that there must only be one is completely unfounded (and therefor is, itself, a subjective ideal). You are imposing your version of "objective reality" on the totally subjective idea of "God".
You are completely correct, it is very possible that no gods exist, that is a valid option. But a lot of people tend to disagree with that and do believe that at least the God(s) of the religion they follow are real. I don't impose anything on anyone, it is a fact, otherwise how would one explain that there are religions at all?
Those 'sources' are US! We are the subjects that created those god-ideals and make those claims. So those god-ideals are subject to US. They are our SUBJECTIVE ideals.
But if these claims are false or simply made up, let's say the Bible, what reason do you have to believe in the biblical God in the first place? or whatever you believe in which is the source for your religion.
Im an atheist, because I do believe that these religious text about gods, most of the stories, angels and miracles are made up. But I would be extremely surprised if a Christian or Muslim would agree with me and still refer to themselves as religious people.
They are all "real ones". They are all our subjective human idealizations of "God". There are no right or wrong ones that we can determine except by our own choice. So of course we all think OUR idea of God is the right one, because it's the one we chose to hold onto.
There is no "objective God ideal" that any human can ever logically perceive or verify. So they are all a subjective choices, from our perspective.
It might work for your particular religious view, which is fair enough. But whether or not that is how you view it, you would get in a conflict with Christians, Jews, Muslims and probably a lot of other religions as well, because that is simply not true to them, according to their scriptures.
