Panthesim: The most deceptive threat to organized religion?

[AntiKarateKid]

I feel as if this seems to be the 'in" thing with many scholars these days. they study various scriptures from different religions then sit back and say, " Hey, everyone is right".


This thread is spurred from the ridiculous " Blurred line between Hinduism and Islam" thread. It astounds me that people can seriously say that "everyone' is right.


After all the Prophets, after all the martyrs, who gave their life promoting truth and striking down falsehood, there are still people who completely ignore this, even after you see insolubility of some religions with other such as Islam and Hinduism.

Technically that's not pantheism. Pantheism is when somebody believes that everything is a diety.

well done fishy you female mermaid, yes pantheism - like everyone is god, like the ridiculousness of the concept of wahdat ul wujood

Darn, well then what is the view that everybody is right? Could the mods change the title to the proper term?

How very sensible of them. It is obvious to any student of religion with anything resembling an open mind that while maybe it is inappropriate to say that everyone is right (or nobody is right, come to that) certainly everybody is talking about much the same things, and trying to explain much the same things.

The sooner dogmatic religious exclusivism is chucked into the historical and intellectual dustbin in which it belongs, the sooner we might be able to find out (by whatever means) what is really going on.

Universalism?

 

[AntiKarateKid]

Yup. Universalism is bad. You already know by being on an Islamic forum that we believe that the other religions were once pure, now corrupt. As soon as people figure that out we can chuck the false ones in the garbage.
