But Mike, we've proved that no god exists. You said yourself that the 'other' gods are all the same god. I know that's really a bit of a fudge to try and avoid saying other gods don't exist but your religion unequivocally denies the existence of other gods and saying they are all the same god amounts to the same thing. Now, although there's no evidence of the existence of any particular god, there's shed loads of evidence that religions do not worship and follow the same god. In fact there are plenty religious nutcases that would kill you if you suggested that to them so please be careful who you try to convert on that one. The inevitable conclusion of denying other gods is to prove the non existence of your own.
My theory or my views, took me 3 years approx to reach a satisfying conclusion that God must be some kind of Energy, the answer to my question which was "where did God find the matter to form this gigantic universe from"
I asked this question to many many people, but no one could give me a satisfying answer, I was quite disappointed, I wanted an answer.
But then one day I was sitting all by myself when the answer revealed itself, shame it took me 3 years, my thinking must have been poor!
but only after I had my answer, with which I was quite content and very pleased, rather than believing what people told me that God ushered a word let there be a universe and the universe came into being, to me that was an answer you would tell your 5 year old child if he had asked you that same question.
But I wanted a proper acceptable answer, a logical one, one that you think can be possible. One where it can be proven eventually, and abides by our scientific understanding, like matter is composed of energy and hence the two are interchangeable but cannot be created or destroyed.
So after I got my answer, I would continue to ask anyone I would meet, like I used to ask before when I was genuinely trying to seek the truth, so when I asked a few more people at different time, I was amazed how one Muslim friend I asked came back exactly what i wanted to hear, he suggested that God must be some kind of energy from which he created the matter! wow, that Muslim bloke became my life long friend!
Then another day a couple of JW dropped in, I invited them in, and asked the same question where did God bring his raw materials from to create the universe from?
and my goodness, this was the second person who came back with exactly what i wanted to hear, and he put it in real scientific terms too.
I wouldn't say what happened and why I found it necessary to check with religious books from Bhagwat gita, the Holy koran, the bible, the Sikh philosophy on God, and I was so pleased that what I had come up with was all there yet it took me 3 years to search for this what i call the truth.
However, my mind is still open and still absorbing more on secrets of Universe, I will never dismiss God until someone can really give me a convincing answer and a proof. until then I shall continue to believe in a father of the universe.
But i9 am quite happy with what people believe in their God or gods and I am quite happy if someone wants worship a cow, or someone wants to pray deities, we are all made of free will, so you choose your own path, there is no compulsion and force against your will, if one is happy praying a sheep, then let it be so, as long as he is not bothering my views, or telling me to accept his view, same way i am not going to force my views on anyone, but it is for their taking if they so desire.
