How Beneficial is Religious Diversity?
T
he number of gods recognized around the world and recorded in world history is in the hundreds.The number of religions, current and past, centered on these gods, is in the thousands.
The number of lives lost in the attempts to advance or defend religious beliefs is in the millions.
The number of humans adversely affected by this cultural blight is in the billions.Is There An Alternative To This Diversity?
Taking religious diversity and its negative effect on mankind as a social enigma and trying to find ways of making it work has been and is a total failure. But the logical approach of attempting to discover the truth behind the phenomenon and finding alternative explanations for it is ignored. A practical approach is to consider the alternatives and determine the logic of each.
· Many Real Gods·
One Real God, Many False Gods· One Real God, Many Different Descriptions
The first alternative defies logic and does not seem to be supported by any practical evidence. Logic dictates that only one supreme god can fit on one planet. All the evidence available only contradicts the second alternative. They claim to have a chain with a link missing, but what they have is not a single link strong enough to even start a chain. The third is the most accepted but does not fit the model of a fair and loving god that created the whole world. Would such a God pick only a few to associate with and ignore all the rest, or condemn them for nothing more than ignorance?
It is the final alternative logic supports; evidence corroborates, and fits into the model of a loving and fair god. It is also the only one that bodes well for all mankind. It does not argue the differences in the many religions but recognizes the similarities. It does not condemn the disputes it explains them. It does not exclude any but absorbs all. And it is the only scenario that would explain a mass deception of mankind. This is the strongest and most effective all offensive strategies, divide and conquer. Isolate mankind into many small groups by convincing them, only they are right, and all the other groups are wrong. Keep them busy fighting each other while the real evil goes forward, unimpeded and undetected. Keep them all clustered tightly around individual trees and make sure they don’t look around and realize they are part of a larger forest.
