I was looking up film quotes, and I came accross THIS rather nice blogg
It had a quote on it:
So now I'm wandering, if he was talking to himself, would one less god be an anti-god? can you believe in an anti-god without believing in a god? and does it matter?
I contend that there are only 2 religions in the world:
There is the Judao / Christian / Muslim / Siek monothiestic religion in which there is "One true god" - call him Alla or Bob, it makes no difference...
Then there are the pollythiestic religions, including the ancient Greek and Roman gods, Hinduism, Paganism and many others. Some talk of "spirits" rather than Gods, but that is a question of definition.
These polythiestic religions are quite happy to co-exist. When you do get wars between them, it's a question of "Our gods are bigger than yours!", which is nice. There's none of this "Heresy" crap where you burn people for believing in false gods etc...
You could almost call them "Eastern" and "Western" religions - but it hasn't quite split so neatly. Anyway - I propose the "Monotheistic" religion is clearly wrong. If there was one all-powerfull true god... then you'd think the majority of people would believe in him. Doesn't seem to be the case...
In addition to being wrong, I believe it is actually Evil. It spreads by fear of the Devil - I am the word of God, believe in me or burn in Hell for all eternity. It descriminates against all that is different; even each other. Consider Protostants and Catholics - what the Feck are they fighting about? How salty the wine is!?
So... I conclude that All gods are true gods, some bigger than others, with the exception of that which calls himself the "One True God" - which is actualy Evil.
The best trick the Devil ever pulled off - was convincing everyone he's the one true god.
Disclamer:
This crap just spewed out of my head for no reason. Its probably a load of rubbish, and I reserve the right to completely change my mind!
