what do u reckon?
Originally posted by dale21Well, if you are referring to human religions, not what religion he would belong to himself, it obviously depends on what kind of god he is (assuming there is a god). The god of people like blindfaith or dj2 clearly has a preference for a small group of Christians. But I would rather assume that a god who creates beings with a mind would like them to use their minds, and xe would enjoy all the different ideas they come up with. I'd guess xe might not be very happy with people who choose not to use their minds (thus kind of rejecting xyr gift) and rather choose blind faith, although xe might find that interesting, too.
thanx for your intellectual comments 😛
can he like them all equally?

[b]Moses and the Shepherd
Moses heard a shepherd on the road praying,
"God, Where are you? I want to help you, to fix your shoes
and comb your hair. I want to wash your clothes
and pick the lice off. I want to bring you milk
to kiss your little hands and feet when it's time
for you to go to bed. I want to sweep your room
and keep it neat ...[text shortened]... eep saying again
and again,
"This is certanly not like
we thought it was!"

Originally posted by kaijinClassical Buddhism does not posit an answer to whether God exists in the first place. However, I would be extremely curious to know if the God in the "objective religions" finds the Aztec religion and certain Kali sects in India (both of which practise/used to practice human sacrifice) "equally" pleasing.
You cannot answer that question objectively. The more objective religions (Budhism, Spiritualists, some Hindi) will say that yes, he loves them all equally.
