To religious folk: [Spirituality & Religion]
If god created everything to be perfect in his world... wouldn't that mean that he created each religion too? That possibly, they are all one in the same?

religions are a by product of people choosing to live lives differently than originally created, people trying to live their in ways they felt was what God wanted, or their own God. Many religions were created for the sake of leading people, gaining power and wealth and controlling a population.
Gods creation started out perfect. It is no longer perfect.

@CoxswainOtter Predicted? I think a basic understanding, at an omnipotent level mind you, lets him see the consequences to our actions far better than we do. Does this mean he made something imperfect? And, why would he?
Sin was brought into his perfect Garden by the choice that humans made. Yes of course he knew it would happen. Which is why he set up a system of redemption to go into play before it ever happened.
Hes in the business of saving, not tripping up.

@CoxswainOtter if a belief in his must be called a religion, then yes. But man created the religions of the world. There are many fine religions in how they go about living their lives, but very few of them relate back to the Jewish/Christian God.

@CoxswainOtter Interesting perspective. I am curious though, who is Christianity not available to? Who limits the availability?
