I am unable to answer the poll truthfully because I'm not sure if i'm aspie or not and I'm not sure if I believe in God or not so I haven't answered it at all. I think there's probably a god but it's not the Christian one.

Don't forget that Easter originated as the Vernal Equinox. Also, in Ireland, St. Patrick used the shamrock to relate the Holy Trinity to the pagans...and to cover up trinities that exist in pagan practices.

Why cover up pagan trinities?

To make them see that the "Truth" was the Christian God and the Holy Trinity. To make them forget their former "sinful" ways.

Right, the only God is the Muslim God!

yes ,trust me it exists. we do not have a soul, we are soul, and we are atached to a body in this incarnation for one reason, to learn to give and recieve luv.god is not some entity high in the sky and so far removed from us that we can never feel worthy of its attention unless we jump thru a churches hoops. we are god and as our conciosness evolves we create barriors to our divine nature and our full spiritual powers. we do this by not following spiritual laws because we are not awareof them yes i believe in god i am god and i believe in my self.

^^^

Although, I think Greenblue may have been using sarcasm.

There is really only one religion, and that is the religion of God. The only thing that changes is the particular dispensation. Christians are followers of Christ's teaching of God, Muslims follow Mohammed's, Baha'is follow Baha'u'llah(Glory of God). Baha'i= Follower of the Glory.

What I meant was that I think Christians have the wrong idea when they say that God is completely good- I don't believe in the Christian idea of God, but rather my own slightly different idea of God.

The above illustration is a perfect example of how God is endlessly expressed through the ethos of human culture. All these diverse cultures are interpreting the same thing through their own individual filters.

All of them are equally true.

I think the above illustration depicts a scene from the Bhagavad Gita, where the charioteer Krishna reveals himself as Almighty God to his human friend Arjuna.

Then by that reasoning, Pan-Atheism may be as valid as Pantheism, thus closing the "Circle of Beliefs."
