      Someone just suggested that we can't say religions are right or wrong because people have different spiritual needs. That's very revealing.

      It makes God(s) the product of and subject to human spiritual needs (which, of course, I think they are.)

      Sometimes people say this but still speak as though the god exists outside their own minds.

      But some part of them must acknowledge that it doesn't because we simply don't do this with things that exist in reality.

      We wouldn't say 'It's nonsense to say only one president is real because people have different presidential needs.' We face the reality.

          And all religious should stand up to secular and theological critique. Otherwise they are being treated different in society.

          I personally have faith but I do think logic secular critiques should be understood and responded too with secular facts.

          Making an appeal to authority that is religious loses the secular argument automatically.

          going to your Hell example, I do not think it matters if Christians believe if, as long as they do not try to make on earth

          It would matter if they actually believed I should be tortured for all eternity for thinking differently.

          Well I feel like if a Christian embraced the message of Jesus, that is not for a Christian to judge you, but God.

          And I would disagree with them. I think there is a place where religion needs to stay personal.

          People do project their own values and fears onto political figures—I guess that’s the blurry line between politics and religion
