Well then, I guess your yard will be mowed and landscapped in half the time and for half the hourly rate. But, they'll likely steal your sunglasses of the patio.Granted, there will be 4 times as many people doing it, but doesn't that trim the amount of time needed? The downside is that you'll be supporting terrorism by providing funds to carriers of anti-American ideals and swine flu. But, you can't help that they crawled through a river of proverbial shit to come to a country that hates them for snaking out a toilet. America was made for Americans, despite what the constitution says. Americans are white, protestant, gun-owning, straight Europeans, by the way.
I think you'll find that the Founding Fathers disliked religion in all its form and wished to disassociated the nation of America from Religion.
And I think you'll find that the Native Americans were there before the white, protestant gun wielding Europeans.

Creating a religion against religion is not an effective method of defeating religion. I'll think you'll find that distorting arguments and presenting half truths does not bring credibility to your argument and diminishes the credibility of ours.

No, the other ones would be the result of people not liking the truth.
Then there would only be one religious family tree. There are more then one basic religion in the world. That means that there is more then one truth, and people not liking that truth. For example, the Egyptian/Jewish/Christian/Islamic family and the Hindu/Buddhist did not derive from a common ancestor.

The reasons for not liking the truth can be different as well as the way of resolving those problems.
If everyone hates the color red that doesn't mean everyone will paint over it in shades of blue.

But we are not talking about one color (to continue the metaphor). It would be like saying there is only one primary color and that is red. The truth is that there more then just one basic religion (truth) in the world. If there was only one truth, then this would not be the case.

One color to start with. The assumed objective truth. Everyone knows this at heart all over the world. Lots of different factors lead to them rejecting it for different reasons. They all choose different colors to cover it up and as a result one gets a bunch of different religions.
Or are you saying that by this logic it should be possible to trace everything back to that truth by seeing what they all reject?

What I'm telling you is that the "truth" is relative to the society that it serves, and just like societies evolve over time so does this truth. Also, there is more than one ancestral "truth" because there is more then one ancestral society.

Then you're assuming the premise is false and claiming that represents a flaw in the reasoning, which it doesn't.
In which case nevermind.

I believe the Lord Jesus Christ who affirmed that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The Lord Jesus Christ said that if you abide in His Word then are you His disciples indeed, and you shall know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.
God by His Word says that:
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
There is none righteous, no not one.
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Eternal life is a gift from God to you. You cannot earn a gift. If you want it then simply ask Jesus Christ to wash away your sins, make you a child of God in Heaven, save you from Hell, fill you with His Spirit and take you to Heaven when you die. Ask Jesus Christ to become the Lord of your life.
