Offshoot discussion of "what religion are you" thread

First off, thanks! I really appreciate the large amount of effort you've put into this thread!

You're welcome, and I'm willing to stick it out and talk this whole question thru, as long as you're willing to read and consider it

...however, I think it is further possible and even logical to believe that there is more than one truth about the way things are. .... Say there was a Big Bang, simultaneously directed by multiple deities.

Well, then, that would be the truth, that there were multiple deities involved. If we're going to disagree about this issue (that there is an absolute truth), then really there is no point in going on, because logical discussion is based on accepting things to be true or false, don't you think? IOW, we can't draw conclusions if we keep saying "well, that might be true, but then again it might not".

On to your next example. ....

Yes, there can certainly be different perspectives! And also incorrect memories. But there is ONE truth. But I think it is also true that there is one truth in every situation, even for things like heaven and hell.

(unless, like me, you believe in the multi-world theory)...

Even if there are different gods in different worlds, there would still be a truth about this state of being.

I really couldn't say EXACTLY where I am going with this, I'm mostly just thinking "out loud." But I understand what you said in your last post, and please do continue if you can

That's ok, I like to muse aloud too, and it helps to think things out that way sometimes. I'll continue, then, but prob. not until tomorrow, I"m tied up for the rest of the night.

Could you think about it some more and let me know if you think that there is a single truth about the existence of gods or God? It may not be knowable, but there is a certain true situation at this point in time, tho. Would you agree?
