RE:Idol Worship is prohibited in Hinduism:
by Maximus Decimus Meridius on Aug 13, 2008 06:27 AM

"i HAVE THE proof that GOD commanded MANKIND ONLY TO WORHIP HIM (ALONE)" What proof? The holy books of Abrahamic faiths? That's not proof - there's no proof it was written by God and not by humans. You cant claim a holy book is the truth because it states very clearly that it is true. Or its believers claim that it is true. That's a retarded argument...

First, prove any God exists in the first place. Nobody has ever proven that. So, the question of how many gods there are, is speculative, given that the very idea of god is speculative. You dont know if god actually exists and even if one exists, whether god is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent and benevolent. So even that is speculative - maybe God is not omnipotent or maybe not benevolent.

So, one set of unsubstantiated claims are as good or as bad as any other. The first step to proving which theory is correct is to prove that the being whose existence it espouses actually exists. Right now, it is pure speculation.

Is man god's biggest mistake, or is god man's biggest mistake?
