There are many many paths to God. Sometimes He walks with you and you know it...and sometimes its dark and scarey and you don't feel his presence but He is there at the end. Keep on truckin' on your path. You will meet others, but that path branches out and will lose them along the way but pick up more than cross yours. Each one you meet, has something to need to hear or see or witness and they from you. I think that is why there are so many paths.Agreed. There surely must be more than one path to God even if there is only one God, one Creator of life. Otherwise, it would mean that we've been thoroughly played by some evil game player which knew in advance that humans would have conflicting religious upbringings as an omnipotent God would know."Right" about what, precisely? For example, most faiths teach love of others. Is that arrogance? What is wrong about loving others?What I can't figure out, though, is how anyone could be so arrogant as to believe that they're "right" and that they're the ones who've got it figured out...
Well, compare all of the world's religions; Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, etc. Followers of each profess that the way they practice their belief in "God" is the only correct way to practice a belief in "God".
If you don't think what you believe is right, then why would you believe it?Any specific issue for choosing to leave your faith?I chose to stop when I reached the age of reason.
I can wrap my head around the idea of a supreme being, I suppose.
What I can't figure out, though, is how anyone could be so arrogant as to believe that they're "right" and that they're the ones who've got it figured out...
And therein lies the crux of the issue. I believe it's the height of arrogance and conceit for anyone to proclaim "I got this whole 'God" thing figured out"...
