"The only problem is how do you know WHAT light is real, and WHAT God?"

Good question. We can stand on the railway tracks of life and argue about the reality of trains, but eventually the train will come and the argument will be over. Someone has said "philosophies only remaining problem is death". I would say that is a pretty serious problem. When I look around and see the various answers to the problem of death, it's then that Jesus Christ stands alone among all the other so called gods by rising from the dead! Some on this thread seem to think that they are God, they want to take on the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Well lets try a little experiment, lets see one of them be tortured to death, then we will plant him in a hole for three days and see what happens. I think we know what will happen when we open that tomb. we'll be hit by the stench of his rotting corps, that's what. Talk is cheap is it not? Have you examined the evidence for the resurrection of Christ? Perhaps you should.

As to your statement "You might be right, or perhaps EVERYONE can be right, or maybe no one is right. There is simply no way to know." I would hope that you would rethink that statement. Indeed I might be right, or we could all possibly be wrong, but unless you are willing to suspend the rules of logic we can't possibly be all right, but I'm saving my arguments about contradictions for Solon.

I hope that we can have this discussion without it degenerating into a personnel attack as so many of these do. Have a good day Greg

<you have the one true faith- whatever that faith happens to be. You might be right, or perhaps EVERYONE can be right>

I would submit that if you believe your faith is the one true faith then you are right. That is the whole point, for your faith to fulfill your needs.
