"Why Do Men Reject God?"

Originally posted by Rank outsider
Did you reject the Muslim God, or Wotan, because his rules were too inconvenient to you?

If not, why make the presumption that the rest of mankind rejects your God for this reason?

The Muslim God is the same as the Jewish God or the Christain God. Wotan i am unfamiliar with.

The God i worship is the one God that is. And he is everyones God whether they know him or not. All are His children.

Well, there are plenty of Muslims and Christians who would disagree with you.

Still, I am interested in why you have rejected Wotan.

Edit: Sorry, can't seen to post link, so just google 'Woden'.

Was it because you find his rules inconvenient?

So are you bundling all monotheistic religions together or just the Abrahamic?

Did I say I rejected Woten? I only said I was unfamiliar with it.

What is up with you??? Don't you study history? Root religion is Jewish of these three.

They are usually referred to as Abrahamic rather than Jewish.
And there is nothing "up with me".

Can you answer the question now?

The Himba people of Namibia worship a single god (Mukuru)

It's only chance that you don't worship him too.

The problem with this answer (you need better sources than Wikipedia, my friend) is that many of these are actually polytheism, with one god as "chief" god. Most of the rest believe that their god is "everything". Not exactly the same as Monotheism. The only one on your list I might accept is Sikhism. And maybe Deism, except deists accept that their God is the Abrahamic God.

Even though, like GF, you used Wikipedia as your source, I give props for this answer. It's a fair cop. 🙂

Woman, puh-leez:
don't rile up the hornet's nest
with any pesky, verifiable facts.
They'll reject every tree--- and therefore the forest---
and then commence
to school you on
tall plants
with trunks
which support
branches and leaves.

Hehe, never fear, my friend, I'm well-versed in GF's methods. I just got out of practice a bit while he was gone. 🙂

You think ALL deists believe in the Abrahamic god?

And sure while busy at work I spent 3 minutes on wikipedia, and
succeeded in finding MORE than one example of something you were
challenging someone to find but one example of...

How does that look bad for me again?

Also, who are you to define what other people view as god?
If a person thinks everything is a singular god then they believe in one god...
How are you defining monotheism (the belief in a single god) so that they don't qualify?
