Even if they spoke of one God it doesn't make it so, or it does make it so meaning all religions are monotheistic in that sense. If we look at Greco religion we can Zeus is God, and all other beings with supernatural powers are nothing more than angels or evil angels (Hades, Possedin, ect.). Now...

Perhaps there are three type beings from God; 1. Actual incarnations of God, who are a God in a man's body (ie Jesus, Krishna by some). 2. Prophets of God, who God speaks directly to from heaven (ie Mohammed, Moses). 3. People filled with the knowledge on what God wants but have not ever...

If you think about all religions are polytheistic. Even Abrahmic Faiths are if you really look at it. How do we define "God"? If you ask a monotheistic he tells you that God means the ultimate eternal ruler of the universe. However Polytheistic people do not believe in many ultimate eternal...

Why does God need to materialize in a human incarnation? I'm not sure, God works in mysterious ways;). Perhaps to set an example, who wants to listen to a giant voice in the sky. Although it would make the people fear more, people will look up to him more like dictator than a loving God. People...

An avatar in my understanding is a incarnation of God, namley Vishnu as you most likelly know. If we were going to define avatar in a more broader sense it would mean any reincarnation of God. Jesus and Krishna for sure must be avatars of the almighty;).

I think the Genesis creation story is nothing more than a made up myth. I rather focus on the teachings of the prophets, because only those have been unchanged.

We have had this before but oh well. I cannot vote because I believe in both evolution and creation. God created the universe billions of years ago and evolution did the rest;). So in other words God used evolution to create the universe.

Speaking of Zoroastrianism why does it not have its own seperate board in the forum? It has more followers than Neo-Paganism and Rastarfarianism according to addherents.com, and yet those two religions have their own forum and board. Perhaps IBrian should open a new Zoroastrianism board;).

Zoroastrianism is like the middle religion if you think about it. While it is monotheistic, it has no roots to Abrahamic Faiths and it has no roots to Eastern Philosophy. The birth if Zoroastrianism is in Iran wich is sort of the middle between Israel/Arabia and India/China. It also contains...

The Hurricane is the work of the Goddess Nature;). She is the supreme ruler of the universe, but a force that is hard to control.

Actually some people think that Cain's father is actually Shaytan who mated with Eve in secret. Some say the lineage of Cain was killed by the flood, but other think they are still alive, and their descendants are the jews according to these people:eek:.

Guys it is so obvious who God is;). God is nature or the universe. God is all things visible and invisible. God contains the universe within him in a sense, and natural forces of the universe are like the circulation of the body;). I mean think about it! Before modern times when a natural...

But wasn't Indra the supreme God? If he is the supreme God how come no one prays to him anymore and did he loose his high place to Vishnua and a few others or something. I actually read from somewhere that there is some connection between Indra and Shiva, but I'm not so sure. I don't know so...

What about the Indo-European language family? The languages of English, Hindi, Persian, and even Sanscrit are Indo-European, so doesn't that suggest some migration or invasion occured from the West? Unless that is Europeans and Persians got their language from India, considering many people...

What do Shivaites think about all this? It seems the core religious people in the hindu epics were avatars of Vishnua the preserver, so whether does this leave Shiva the destroyer? What about Devi? How come all these avatars are avaters of Vishnu and no other major God. And what ever happened to...

Well then another important question would be did either Confucias or Lao claim to have divine revelation from God, in fact did they ever even mention God? In fact did they claim to make a religion, or did people later on call the two religions?Or did they only mean to set up an ethical system...

I know when I was younger it was really hard for me to accept Christianity because there were so many other religions (not one religion vs non-religious). No I don't think the world should unite into one government, or one language, or anything like that. I do think religion will do better...
