The gods are less than elephants. We can touch elephants! Your beliefs are faith, do not peddle them as more than that.

The proper application of faith is as powerful as the proper application of science.

Faith is another kind of knowledge, just like science.

Is Hindu or Islamic faith a kind of knowledge just like science?

And man will be man. He always looks for acceptance from his peers and for the easy way out. The wise man looks for acceptance from God and is not afraid of a little hard work.

Be ...[text shortened]... row is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." -- Matthew 7:13-14, KJV

Ganesh is an elephant.

Since you see that, surely you see that there are hundreds and thousands of faith beliefs going on.

Everybody is seeing the same thing, just through cultural lenses.

But the abrahamic religions say every other view is doomed. Jews (the chosen!), christians and muslims, have no room for anyone else.

That's a bit of a stretch. Faith doesn't cure disease, improve crop yields, enable blood tranfusions, purify water, facilitate practically instantaneous communication over vast distance, allow us to fly, put men on the moon, develop vaccines, allow production of lenses to correct failing eyesight, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Actually, the proper application of faith is nothing like as powerful as the proper application of science.

Theists always want to equate religion with science.
As equals.
As alternatives.
As different "kinds of Truth"

They use scientific words such as power, energy and force.

BS

Religion has NOTHING

Does any of this matter to doomsday Christians who think ~ and even hope ~ the world will "end" in their lifetimes?

Well, the proper application of faith - according to believers - makes them immortal, and the application of science has nothing as powerful as that to offer them. 😉

E=MC^2 All hail the God of Science, in you we put our hope. And yet ask it a question - Why the universe? and look it is absolutely bereft, Man what a bunch of spangles you materialists are.

Abiogenesis creation is a myth, but Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden is historically rock solid?

Gotcha.

Does spirituality offer anything?

Religion sits by the king. Dismissing it doesn't feel right.

Yet you can't seem to answer simple logical questions about it.

Gotcha.

You think either of one can be proven or do they both have to be believed and taken on faith?
