1. The common thread of spirituality runs through the base of all religions . Ideally they should compliment each other , not argue over who is right.
2. Evil is an illusion. Illusion derived from our dualistic nature. Our dualistic nature comes from our false understanding of our true identity. Our true identity is cloaked by our ego/temporal sel ...[text shortened]... you are free to do so.
No one ever forced true spirituality on anyone, thats not how it works
A nod to Alan Watts for this one, yay.

My point was sir that asking a Christian like sonship 'do you accept other religions as being equal to Christianity?' was ridiculously naive. Of course he wouldn't think that. Jesus made quite clear that the only path to God was through Him.
However naive you think I am it's best not to assume

Originally posted by @karoly-aczelJesus features in two major religions: Islam and Christianity. To Judaism, he was a fake and an imposter and cannot be described as 'present' at all, let alone "predominant".
Jesus and other biblical characters are predominant in 3 major religions and reffered to in others. If the bible is true it will complement other histories, which it does.
Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeI disagree. Your assertion is vague.

What do you mean by "some" ?
I do take your point about sonhouse but I still felt like asking him anyway .

But good Is everywhere . Being good and right thinking are the basis to developping a sound conviction in spiritual thought. Good breeds ...[text shortened]... how you live it.

Questions ? Additions?
1. Assumptions are based (in part) on previous experiences. I will reply to content of a post, but that reply will invariably be influenced by how a person has previously conducted themselves in their forum interactions. If you were an idiot yesterday I'm going to assume you'll be an idiot today. (Generally speaking).
2. All is 'not' inter-connected.
3. In a perfect world, we are all in control of our own destiny. Due to the lack of a divine being however, we do not live in a perfect world.
4. Waffle.
5. Waffle.
6. Repetition of number 4.
7. Waffle.
8. Quite possibly.
9. Back to the waffle.
10.......Sigh.
