Conversations with a Sceptic (13): God? Gods?

 Q:

The grey area is that there are so many "Gods" spread around on this planet, how could one guarantee that the "God" one believes is the genuine one and the others are fake?

A:

Why waste time to find out which God or which religion is the right one? They all have a piece of truth.

Instead, look for what they all have in common and strip it down to its essence. Examine the partial truths they present and judge for yourself if they are valuable to you or not, and then you can piece them together to form a bigger Truth, a bigger picture. Don't trust anyone who claims to hold the copyright on Truth and threatens you with eternal damnation if you "don't buy" their books.

In the past centuries, if you wanted to learn about Spirit, you had not much choice but to become a monk and follow the teachings of your elders. Nowadays, there's no need to follow any specific religion to find this kind of knowledge.

It's out there if you want to read about it, and more importantly, it's in here (inside us), if you want to experience it.
