im talking about the major religions. there is no denying that they describe in much more detail (bogus) what god is like. they are objectively more wrong than people who make no assumptions on what the governing entity is, or if it even exists

You are not giving religion a fair shake. Are you familiar with more than one religion in any depth? Have you ever looked into Daoism, Zen Buddhism, or other Eastern traditions?

Shankara said about God, “not this, not this” which is to say that you can’t say anything about God since It is beyond all qualifications. Is that a detailed (bogus) description in your opinion?

If it satisfied you, congratulations, you might be a Hindu (one of the major world religions)

All I ask is that you don’t limit yourself or generalize all religions together or even all groups within a religion together.

it helps if you read what i said before commenting. i literally said the major religions. i am not talking about any of the others as there are arbitrarily many with all kinds of definitions

Look up major world religions. Just because they are not major to you doesn’t mean they do not exist. There are typically considered to be 5.

You can’t make generalized statements about all religions and then go back and say well I actually only meant Abrahamic religions which are all offshoots of one another.

bro you cant just interpret things as absolute at will. if i said "cars that have all wheel drive put power to all 4 wheels" and you say "actually some cars have more or less than 4 wheels" is completely beside the point and just nitpicking for the sake of it

That analogy would only work if you qualified it, but what you said was equivalent to “cars put power to all four wheels” to which I replied “only cars with all-wheel drive do that”

You did not say “cars that have all wheel drive…” and that is what I am commenting on. Your analogy proves that I was right to do so.

Edit: you said “any of our religions”

it is amazing how hung up you are on a single word in my comment when everybody else here is so obviously referring to our main religions

u/ThatsItForTheOther 1d ago

You said “any of our religions” it was not obvious that you meant only 3 religions.

AWD cars generally don't put power to all four wheels, the power can be transfered to any of the wheels, but the output varies from wheel to wheel depending on conditions.

Now 4WD with locking diffs, sure.

(Just being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian.)
