FilmFlaneur One extra observation I will like to make - It is not just 3 Abhrahamic religion that claim to have logical, omniscient and all-powerful monotheistic Gods. Even religions such as Baha'I, Sikhism, Vaishnavism and Zorastrianism also claim to have one ruler who is omniscient. good, logical. The attributes of monotheistic Gods are nearly the same. I wonder if there was influence between the Abrahamic and non-Abrahamic religions. If not that might suggest an underlying inevitable universal principle to arrive at the same description of God (either because He/She/It exists or because of an unlearned common human psychological quality involved in the synthesis of these religions). On the other hand maybe "infinitely powerful supreme being" is an elementary and trivially natural direction for a religion to take. Also the other points you discussed is worth having a thread (Common human psychological quality). There are more similarities between between religions than it often believed. I believe because of use of the word "Pagan" many people of west have false or misleading information about religions such as Zoroastrianism and Hinduism. For example, I have never met a polytheist Hindu. A Shaivite will believe in Shiva and Vaishnav will in Vishnu or most Hindus will equate all gods as one much like Christians do through trinitarian concept. In reality most major religions mostly differ on path to attain salvation. Not on attributes of God. I will start a topic on this too. |
