Simple truths, too simple for some

Just reading a bit of Alan Watts, and this:-

[i]There is, of course, no satisfactory way of arguing the merits of any one of the great world religions against the others. In all such debates the judge and the advocate are the same person, for a man judges his own religion the best simply because the standard he uses is that of his own religious upbringing. Almost all apologies for the superiority of one religion over others come down to this tediously circular argument.[/i]

Yes, quite tedious.

@jshm2 What we have there is simply a point of view.

I disagree about Alan Watts. He had very much absorbed the fundamental core of various Faiths and was able to articulate that core to others.

Maybe we are all talking to strawmen (or women...😀) at times.

Have a good day.
