In a way, you prety much hit the nail on the head.

Then why are you here?

Your opinion is no different than millions of left wing Progressives.

Nobody here says religions are not equal in the sense they are allowed to exist and people can pick whatever one they want to join (or leave) freely. Perhaps except the muslims leaving freely.

However they are not all equal in the sense that people will say they all are correct. Not even all other religions will say that. Some may say “multiple paths” but not all will, and not all will clarify which others they say are valid other paths.

No religion is above and protected from scrutiny and criticism. Nor should they be. Christianity, which I am assuming is the one you’re beefing about here, is hardly protected from criticism and ridicule even here. No group here gets a free pass or gets to have sacred cows that can’t be touched. If you think that, you only been selectively browsing the religious forum. Much less other articles that posters bring up Christianity in them.

The seeking of God is strictly a human endeavor. Lower life-forms are incapable of fathoming how such perfection exists. People are born with the nature to seek God. It is not magic, it is not science, it is observation of perfection all around. This is what drives people to seek God—they observe such perfection and are unable to attribute it to any other entity—spontaneous generation is an old theory and it just doesn’t make sense. I have spent the biggest part of 4 decades studying living systems. Most people have no idea how complex life is nor do they comprehend how perfect their environment is that supports life.
