Re: Have you ever questioned your belief?
I don’t need to add anything. That’s pretty much a given. God is considered the ultimate authority figure so anything that claims to be from it must be scrutinized. You said it yourself, if each religion claims to be the one and true religion, how can others be unless there are multiple Gods? Does this even align with your faith?
But why the hell not? That’s the issue I brought up a few pages ago of not being able to verify a source by other means. All claims about something unseen, unfelt, untouched must be considered and processed EQUALLY. YES. The difference is in what is being claimed. It’s common sense really. Let me tell you what I mean by this difference.
“Twenty people saw a ghost” OK, I can accept that claim
“Twenty people saw a ghost but 10 say the ghost was white, 10 say the ghost was black” OK, both claims can’t be true at the same unless there were two ghosts so I must consider both claims.
“Twenty people saw a ghost but now the 5 of 10 people who think the ghost was white think the ghost talked to them and the 5 of the 10 people who think the ghost was black think the ghost didn’t make a sound” OK, now I can be pretty sure they saw a ghost but I don’t know whether the ghost was black or white or if it said anything.
Makes sense? Why does this line of thinking go out the window when it comes to religion? Because it’s faith… I am sure every one of those people who saw a ghost are sure of what they saw and heard but are incapable of convincing others.
Yes you did. Its very evident from our entire conversation we were speaking about religion in general and not their claims of speaking to God. Here is the simple fact you are being stubborn because you can’t defend your position. Its too hard for you to simply state that Islam has a chance of being the true faith.
Why? I have no clue. I have no problem saying Christianity or Judaism could very well be right on their own. Without any linkages or caveats. You seem to have that issue due to ego and/or insecurity.
