"Truth is One, Wise call it by Many names" — Rig Veda 1.164.46 Key word "Wise" !
*Neil Gillman argues that no religious community can claim absolute certainty about God's will and that multiple faith traditions may embody different forms of truth.* Can many religions be true at the same time—or must only one ultimately be right?
Wrong question. Should be: Can many regions point out to the Truth? How about it?
Questioning our beliefs requires believing in questions. We're certain we're looking for answers, and uncertain we're asking the right questions. This is the reasoning of not knowing what the right question is - it's the broadest statement of the problem. We started with some basic questions (why, who, how, when, where, etc.) and learned to ask better questions, that was the best we could do.
You just have to wonder about the morality and/or potency of a god (or pantheon) who would allow SO MUCH CONFUSION AND STRIFE for SO LONG. (And still going!)
The title says "Neil Gillman", but the interviewee is Alex Rosenberg
Mystics of all religions study consciousness. Religion turns this into dogmas and traditions which has nothing to do with reality. Science depends on it but rejects it. This is how ignorance propagates.
The way it is expressed is incorrect. “One God Many Truth ” should read: One God Many Expressions of Truth. There is only one Truth, however, it can be expressed in many different ways.
Is not about wealth; is about health ; is not about dream; is about calm ; there is not the truth; U is a truth; humans; word “you” and U is very differ 😂♾️🍃🌱🌎🌕♾️
this whole way of thinking has one basic problem. just because we can't understand something perfectly doesn't mean there's no truth out there. look, we have different opinions about science, history, and philosophy too. but that doesn't mean all of them are correct. it just means some of them are wrong. so why should religion be any different? saying "we don't know what god wants" is itself a claim. just because you don't know, doesn't mean nobody else can. we don't have complete knowledge about a lot of things, but we can still compare explanations and see which one fits reality better. there's also a contradiction in pure relativism. saying "there are no absolute truths" is itself an absolute truth claim. if everything is relative, then how can you say the nazis were wrong? that's just one opinion from one culture. and about morality—just because a society agrees on something doesn't make it right. plenty of societies throughout history accepted slavery. we now know that was wrong. group agreement and objective truth are two different things. so yeah, humility is good. but humility doesn't mean giving up the search for truth. it means accepting we might be wrong, not that we should stop asking questions. different religions make contradictory claims. they can't all be true at the same time. the question isn't which belief helps communities. the question is which belief matches reality.
