Controversial RELIGIONS & SPIRITUALITIES : Conversations

But is the current conception
Recency bias
such as creation myths, what supernatural realms (bhavachakra holds more supernatural realms than abrahamic religions) there are, views about the universe,explanations of phenomena that people didnt understand when the religion was created (such as lightning or earthquakes), etc etc etc.
Mutually exclusive myths exist within the same cosmology eg different creation stories and different imaginations of the afterlife

but i see little point in talking about other religions barely anyone believes in.
There's no point in continuing this conversation then. :lawsigh:😂 so much willful ignorance
 
Would you describe Catholicism and Orthodoxy as monotheistic? The presence of saint worship doesn't differ from polytheistic worship. The only difference is that the word god is not used for the saints but they effectively occupy the same roles as pre Christian gods. The same development can be observed in mire recently converted overseas Catholic communities.
yes i would, because "saint worship" doesnt really apply. catholics all the time tell other people that they dont worship the saints or mary in the same sense as they do with god. this is a problem of terminology, but they are monotheists.

christians as a whole, because of the trinity, arent considered as monotheists by most adherents of islam though.

yes, that isnt a point against what im saying though, just shows that some religions are inherently contradictory.

what willful ignorance?

me thinking its more relevant to talk about major religions because the sheer number of their adherents is not willful ignorance about other religions.

if other religions make positive claims about the world and beyond, they can be compared just the same. and i doubt you will find multiple religions where there arent conflicting claims about the world and beyond. so they are still mutually exclusive, unless you want to reduce religions to their rough and vague outlines.

then i agree, no point in this conversation

Absolute nothing is impossible. Because is the absolute ausence of any possibility. Nothing will never be a option to consider
so the objection of theists to a godless universe would be obsolete then?

because they claim that without a god, everything had to come from nothing, which they posit is impossible.

Can you repeat that with other words ? I missed the meaning of your second sentence.
if there is an absolute nothing, there cant be any potential for anything. is what i got from that post

We need to conceive nothing as the absolute absense of being. The absense of being implies the non existence of any possibility. The absolute absense of possibilities imply logically to the concept of impossibility. Nothing has no possibility, then it's logically impossible.

Yeah thats the idea. But if there is not a single possibility then its simply impossible. So obviously something necessarily has to exist

Do you mean "absence" when you write ausence ? Because I really don't understand the word lol
