    This is the very reason I don't believe in any religions. Logically, none of them can be right if each of them say all others are wrong.

    Science is the only 'religion' supported by any evidence.

    That's logically incorrect. Just because everyone states that the others are wrong, it doesn't follow that all are wrong. One could still be correct.

    Nonetheless, the chance of your religion being correct is infinitesimally small.

    What's my religion have to do with it? I was just pointing out the illogical assumption.

    True, but how do you prove the one? It's not like a math equation you can test and verify. So in the absence of proof, all are wrong.

    What I have outlined (and it is an outline because this forum is simply not the place for a deeper discussion) makes perfect sense. God created spirit creatures and man. Several spirit creatures and man rebelled, God allows time for their rebellion to be a failure before he restores order to the universe he created. He records this in the Bible along with his instructions on what is good and bad so that each of us can make our choice of which side of the issue we are on.

    He will take action to remedy the problems that man has caused, not when he is happy with man, but when man rule has been proven to be a failure. As far as making things better, as creator, surely he can control his creation to the benefit of mankind. One of the things that the Bible says that will happen is that he will bring to ruin those ruining the earth. This includes polluters, and those that cause starvation by their mismanagement of the earth.

    Ignorance is bliss can run both ways.

    I do not know how many times I can say this. None of these men were Satan! Satan is a spirit creature and not a human being. Do I think that these men were evil, no. Do I agree with everything they taught? No.

    And you think he's going to do this, how ?

    Excellent job on steering around the "God's plan" thing with the "God's purpose" changeover... Spoken like a politcian, hahaha

    What is it going to take for this god to decide man rule is a failure.

    You'd have thought the inquisition, or nazi germany, or any number of failures, especially those failures that used god as a justification, would have been enough already.

    Man can't ruin the earth, it's pretty resilient over 4.5 billion years, even all out nuclear destruction won't hurt the earth for long.

    Jesus said that by their fruits (or their actions) we would be able to tell which religion was the true one. The answer to your question is one that you must reach yourself after examining the facts. One good place to start would be:

    1. What religion bases their teachings on the Bible? (Really bases them on the Bible, not just paying lip service to them when the Bible's teachings are inconvenient. Such as sex before marriage, homosexuality and involvement in politics - (See 1 Co. 6:9-11, Romans 1:24-27, John 6:15 and John 18:33-37)

    Obviously, I believe that I am right, just as I am sure that most everyone else believes that they are right. If I found something else that made more sense I would believe that.

    Science has shown to have an unbeleivable amount of inconsistency. Using that "logic" you would have to not believe in Science either. Again, I am not a religious person, but you have to be consistent.
