See, heres one of the Great Questions.

1. Given a deeply religious person is strong in their belief
2. Given there are multiple religions
3. Some religions are mutually exclusive

Is this just a case where religious folks have to agree to say “in this case, one of us is right; we don’t know, but one of us has a religion thats wrong.”?

Or what about religions that have common ancestry but have diverged significantly and have very different opinions on things nowadays? Isn’t that a problem?

We wonmt’ go near a third problem which is .. given that thinking in terms of religionm implies that you’re willing to accept ‘ghosts’ and ‘unexplainable things’ and so on, you’re pretty much opening up the forum to everything. Faeries? Why _not_? I mean, if there can be no proof for/against a given religion, then the same is true for faeries, right?(Or for people who make up crazy pseudo religions like the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Sciontology, who most would agree are basicly just silly.)

Faith is there because theres nothing else; but you believe, in your heart. Thats faith, and its powerful. I get it. But how do you deal with others having a different faith, maybe an opposite one, of equal conviction?
