There is so much about the supposed existence/non existence of God, as described and duly interpretted from the bible. The christian one.
The core of all major religions refer to one god, so if there is one god, then it could only be the same one.
Ok, so far? (if not I can back up, but I thought this was a given so far)
My inquiry is this: Why cant christians understand that the god they worship is the same one that the hindus (for example) worship?
After all, both of those major religons have an enourmous following, both of which more or less say there is one god. And both are imperfect. (If christianity were perfect(ed) we'd only have one denomination right?)
So, as has been asked by many different posters in many different ways, why is your god the real one and not the other one?
Where is the independent proof,(proof not form the bible or biblical inspired sources)? Because surely if that is the real god then it can be verified through other sources.
(Remember the example of Guatama Buddha becoming a hindu avatar. This speaks volumes to me as a huge , well-established religion (hinduism) has accepted an outsider as one of their own. There is no way Buddha would've been declared a saint if he were born and lived in a christian society back in those days. Most likely he would've been burnt and tortured for being possessed by the devil.)
