>>115463509>>115463541Omnism (the belief in all religions) is asinine.
1. It violates the law of contradiction: a thing cannot be and not be at the same time in the same way.
2. If two religions teach opposite things, then they can't both be true. One could be true and the either false, or both could be false; but they can't both be true.
3. In that all religions teach different and contradictory things, at most, only one of them can be true.
For a religion to be true, it must conform to fact and reality.
1. Fact: there is, and can be, only one God.
God is the supreme being, the creator and cause of all things.
He is the first uncaused cause.
All things that exist have a cause. If all the causes in the universe are traced back, they must originate from a first cause which is itself uncaused.
There cannot be an infinite regression of causes because there is no such thing as an actual infinite number of anything.
An infinite number of causes would require an infinite amount of time, which would mean that the universe is eternal.
The universe cannot be eternal because matter is not eternal.
Given the 2nd law of thermodynamics (the law of entropy), if the universe was eternal, everything would have stopped by now because there would have been an infinite amount of time prior to the present.
The existence of a highly ordered universe demands that it has a creator. The existence of highly complex self-replicating biological machines (living organisms) demands the existence of a creator. For God to have created the universe which is composed of time, space, and matter, means that He must be outside of those three things and is therefore eternal, omnipresent, and spiritual (not material).
For God to have created a universe so vast that the most powerful telescopes cannot find the ends of it, He must be omnipotent.
For God to have created highly complex self-replicating biological machines (living organisms), He must be omniscient.
