musing But perhaps God did give a religion to everyone, and we just choose to interpret it differently? (‘we’ here meaning people of all faiths, not that Catholics choose to interpret it differently…)Its not really mutually exclusive. Religion is not always unreasonable, though on many cases it has beliefs that can be quite irrational. I’m sure everyone would agree that each one of us possess the gift of reasoning. But since everyone disagrees on which religion is true, then its safe to say that God didnt really give a religion to everyone. So God only gave us a talent for figuring things out, not a system of instructions that already figured things out. Religion is merely a personal point of view. Not a fact for everyone.![]()
We disagree mightily over what the true faith is, but I think that reflects more on humans than on God, yes? hemming and hawing I don’t know, I think I’m trying to say that, like most things, God DID give us religion, but different humans chose to accentuate some parts, disregard others, and maybe make up their own explanations for things that perhaps didn’t need explaining (and decided some things were Just That Way without using that lovely faculty of reason you mentioned).
reads through what I just wrote Oh, for heaven’s sake - did I make ANY intelligent statement there? I’m sorry - it’s been a long week, and I should probably just read and not comment tonight… let alone attempt any sort of intelligent debate.

Thank you for the points you’ve brought up, though - they’re interesting, and make me examine my thoughts on the matter a bit more closely.
Even if I’m doing a lousy job of articulating those thoughts tonight.
