If there is a God, what faith or denomination do you think is his. Is he a Christian, Jew, Pagan, Hindi, Islamist, Shintoist etc. He can't be all of them and according to their teachings, some are mutually exclusive.
God has no denomination. People do. From their point of view their denomination is right, others are wrong. The difference is the level of tolerance.Quote:

Then we can look at other religions that believe in multiple Gods and not one divine being. Look at one of the more established religions based in Anciant Egypt where there are multiple Gods but include the creator, Ra (Re) or the Sun God. Are they wrong?
We could go all the way back to symbolism but there's little point.
So, if there is a creator, it's unlikely he, she or it is religious but more likely to be an energy or creative source IMHO and therefore religion is nothing more than a belief of a communal code of behaviour.
If there is a God then who created God?
Steve Jobs
:erm:
We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.Quote:
