"All men approach me, so I recieve them. All paths... lead to me." Bhagavad Gita 4.11
Confucius said, "In the world there are many different roads but the destination is the same. there are a thousand deliberations but the result is one." I ching, appended remarks 2.5
Say, we believe in god, and what has been reveale dto us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Ismael, Issac, Jacob, and the tribes, and in what was given to Moses, jesus, and the prophets from their lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to God do we submit. Qur'an 3.84
And I (Jesus) have other sheep, that are not of this flock; I must being them also and they will heed my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepard. John 10.16
Anyone would be an idiot to take their faith at face value, thats just stupid, and they aren't true followers. What I wrote is an assortment of thoughts from four major world religions that sum up my beliefs. It doesn't matter so much what you believe, aslong as you live good and love others your doing good.
As far as the christian creation stories go, they are alright. the church (catholic) has come out and said they are old ways of telling creation, not to be taken word for word. But honestly what is so hard to believe about the creation? The fact that God did it in 7 days? Obviously God didn't create the Universe more importantly earth and all of its inhabitants in SEVEN days. But then again who is too say, TIME is a human concept, God exists outside of space and time... who is too say. Further more the church has found the Big Bang in accordance with creation. As far as the bible goes it is mostly a historical document. If you've read it however and cross referenced some of the stories ALOT OF IT IS TRUE, and alot of freaky shit did happen (by that I mean some of the unexplainable shit).
