@fmf saidIs this a search for truth, if so you why are you not looking into those things you asked for? Is the position you have different than the one you are claiming your leaning towards now, why? You have something compelling you, you asked for information yet, ignore some given. I don't think your serious in your pursuit of truth as much as you like to argue.
Am I "him" in this sentence?
If so, what is it you are trying to say?
@Philokalia
Why Christianity specifically? Why could not he be looking at Hinduism or Jainism or becoming a shaman?
@philokalia saidThis is one of the very few times I disagree with you. To be really close but not completely correct can make the truth harder to grasp. If two sets of instructions have nearly exactly the same set of directions the difference may be over looked, due to the familiarity with one not the other for example.
Someone who leaves atheism and moves towards deism is closer to Christianity than he was before.
That is my thought on it.
Believing in Thor is as wrong as being an Atheist since both miss Jesus Christ.
@kellyjay saidPresumably, your personal opinion is that Thor is a no go, and the "Jesus" is for real, right?

@kellyjay saidI understand that you may not subscribe to religious pluralism whereas I do, but I don't see why the idea of God having a multi stranded approach to humanity through different cultures and religions is to be dismissed so readily.

@ragwort saidTruth is exclusive, opinions not so much. Jesus did not leave room for plurality when He said He was the way no one comes to the Father except through Him.

@kellyjay saidSpeaking to those people in that time and place fair enough. I can't help but feel that that exclusivity would have rung somewhat hollow "upstairs" when used to justify subsequent wars in his name.
