i dunno. many ways to get to the One God... assumes there is only one God, in the first place, and that your concept of the divine is somehow in agreement with what other people believe.

oh puke, I had to read that whole article only to find that it was spouting a bunch of religious exclusivist propoganda and not even an attempt at intelligent discussion of this very interesting subject.

actualy what you or i or any of us, believe, may not have all that much to do with it. nor is it very likely to make a twiddly bit of difference whether god is one thing or zillions of them, or something so strainge as you couldn't tell one way or the other anyway.

every path on the mountain is a good path. some are difficult. some just seem to dissappear and have to be backtrackted to the previous junction. but they all have nice flat rocks to stop and rest your feet when you get tired, and twists and turns to inspire your curiousity to see what is beyond the next one.

i would say this too. all beliefs are mostly harmless but none of them have a damd thing to do with morality, which is the avoidance of causing suffering and harm, and may or may not have anything to do with big, friendly and nontangable, or in other words; 'god'.

personaly i think the best thing any of us know about god is to not assume anyone knows anything.

as for mountains, well i grew up in mountains. i think the're healthier places then valleys. but unless you've lived in places that aren't densely populated i don't know if i could explain what i mean by that.

at any rate i go several steps, perhapse too many, further, and see all fanatacisms/chauvanisms as essentialy dishonest. which i wish i could say keeps me from comming up with my own.

i'm just not convinced ANYthing has to be infallable for anything to exist.

I've climbed many mountains, I never came across any god(s) around them. Usually people brings gods with them. Pack it in/pack it out. There are many ways to climb a mountain, from one side a person may just walk up to the top, on the other a person may have to climb vertically for thousands of feet. All depends on what way a person likes best.

Very interesting article about it that are there many ways, which lead people to God....This link leads to typical propaganda, written by people who have used a standard line of reasoning in an attempt to discredit what they know next to nothing about.

It's sad that people resort to such stuff. It really isn't even well written propaganda - the grammar is apalling, and as you say, it's a 'standard line' - we know what's coming after about a paragraph or two. Unmitigated tripe.

Wow. What you said here blows my mind. I've gotta think about this profound statement a little more ;)

i've found god or gods in the forrest, but they weren't the god or gods of any belief i've ever heard of. nor their demons either.

i don't think they were limited to my ways of seeing things, though my ways of seeing things might be what i 'see' them with.

and of course our ways of seeing, we do indeed pack it in and pack it out.
