Oh, I wasn't arguing at all that PTB's view is a "Christian" view. I just don't think it's a logically inconsistent view.

What is logically inconsistent is that you believe that all religions are pointing to the same thing - when the individual religions are clearly pointing in very different directions.

[/ QUOTE ]

I disagree. One could easily claim that the reason they are pointing in different directions is because humans have misinterpreted things. Is there anything you have in mind when you say they clearly point in different directions? I'm not arguing that this viewpoint is correct or somehow better, just that it isn't illogical necessarily.

What do you mean that it's not right to give all religions equal credibility? In this post you seem to be agreeing with my overall point, so I'm not sure what you mean. Obviously some religions are going to seem "more right" to each individual.

[/ QUOTE ]
I do agree with your main point.
Some religions are just perversions of other religions and they should be seen as such.

[/ QUOTE ]

Or you could say that all religions are just perversions of the same religion/God. That seems to be an equally consistent position.

And I don't think you necessarily have to make a choice. You can pick and choose like all of us do anyway.

I'm not one for making up my own religion, that's intellectual dishonesty and wishful thinking.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't see why you keep saying it's intellectually dishonest. Would you mind expanding on that? To me it's seems the most intellectually honest. If none of the religions make sense to you as a whole, why is it wrong to choose to follow the tenets that you agree with? You wouldn't be able to claim that you follow a particular religion, but I don't see how it's dishonest.

I'm 100% fine with you disagreeing with this position, but I think it's a little strange to call it more illogical than any one of the given religions.
