Which religion's God is the most superior than all the other religion's God?

[Terrywoodenpic]

Religions don't own God
Religions have different opinions about the nature of God.
However in every case it is the same God that is being perceived.

According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions in the world.

You mean all the different God from that 4,200 religions in the world is all one same God?

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is the most superior of all Gods.

that's fictional.

 

[te_lanus]

that's fictional.

But aren't most gods fictional?

They have to be ''ruled out'', as fictional. So, it is more like a question mark. They may or may not be fictional. Many deities do appear fictional to me, yes.

I don't see how labeling something as fictional rules anything out at all. A god is simply that which one deems worthy of worship, or something sacred and valued one respects, honors, and gives thanks to. Whether or not it exists in the apparent reality or the otherworlds (i.e., "fiction" or imagination or idea) is kind of irrelevant, isn't it?

At any rate, I feel assessing the gods with some sort of competition to be a rather misguided approach to approaching one's gods. If one only deems something worthy of worship - of respect, gratitude, and celebration - because it is the "best" at something, that strikes me as a set up for some rather unhealthy approaches to relationships in general. If one is doing that, something is only deemed worthy by measuring it up to something other than itself, which means one is failing to appreciate the intrinsic value of that thing for what it is. Seems wiser to me for us to be accepting things on their own merits, or by intrinsic value. But I'm a pretty strong believer in declaring all things to have equal intrinsic value, so quite obviously I would regard transforming worthiness into a competition troubling. Such an approach is antithetical to the notion of intrinsic value.

Do you mean "no any religion's God is more superior than any other religion's God" ?
This should be a good alternative option to the poll.

No, I mean that it is a mistake to make a god too significant in one's religious practice.

 

[LuisDantas]

'Religions' don't define Deities. Different religions can even have the same deity or deities.

Have a nice day.

On the other hand, deities that are nominally the same seem to vary quite a lot from one person to the next, and probably also from one moment in time to the other - even for the same person.

I don't think that is a problem, as long as we realize that it happens and adjust accordingly.

So you believe that there are 4,200 different Gods

More likely to be just one Creator God, with 4,200 different ways to worship him.
The universe, as we all now know it, can only have been created once

I'd agree with that, though there is a pretty big drop off after the first one !

The Hindu gods would be sitting in the shade watching the action and talking about gardening.

I don't know man, I think Krishna would want in on the action.

This silly poll is like asking which soda pop is the mostest, bestest, ev'ah. Seriously?

 

[George-ananda]

Which religion's God is the most superior than all the other religion's God?

"the most superior" is define as:
- the most special and unique
- the most morally correct
- the most real in the existence
- the most powerful in ability to do anything
- the most benevolent
- the most perfect and have no flaw

If you have a different definition for "the most superior", you can revise it to fit your situation.
(Edit)

I see this whole question as an implied put down of the perceived competing gods thinking which has pretty well died out with modernity. And from this we are supposed to see how believing in one of many claimed gods is arbitrary and silly. How tiring to hear this again.

Or 4,200 different fictions.

I see, you mean that the religion of "any atheistic ones" which do not worship any god, is a better option than those religion which make a god too significant in one's religious practice?

No, i don't believe in any Gods, but many people believe many different Gods, and some claims that their religion's God is the first creator.

You mean all the 4,200 different religion is all worship the same one true first Creator God, with 4,200 different ways to worship him? Many different religion's God's moral/law is contradict with the other one, how can all of them be the same one true first Creator God?

The universe can only have been created once, and all by only one first creator? It's a possible scenario. But other possible scenario also exist, like various creator create various different universe separately; or various creator work together to create one universe or all universe; or other mystery answer we don't know yet. The issue is some different religion claims that only their creator create all universe or this universe which we're locate in, and all other religion's creator doesn't create any universe, and tell everyone must follow their creator or else receive punishment.

You see, the poll get various different option, and not all people choose the same answer that only their religion's God is the most superior God, how is your metaphor support that the poll is silly?

Do you mean, believe in one of any claimed gods which has pretty well died out with and unpopular in mordernity society, is arbitrary and silly?

Or do you mean, believe in one of any claimed gods which has still popular in mordernity society, is arbitrary and silly?

Or both?

Islam

Thanks for reply, If your religion is Islam, then your answer is compatible to the first option in the poll.

I'm not sure I understand this question, but I do know that I don't think it is ever better to rely on belief in god's existence. Such a belief is something to be accepted as natural, sometimes as personally important, never as desirable or reliable.

Some believer may say their belief in their god's existence maybe is accepted as natural(nature as it's easy that first they have faith and then their god enlightening them their god's existence), and they think this belief is personally important to themself but also important to others non-believer, and they may say it's because they sincerely desirable for their god's to help them that make them believe in their god first which then make their God enlighten them their god's existence, and their belief in their god's existence then become reliable.
