Are God And Religion Mutually Exclusive?
9 Answers
Does the fact that so many different often conflicting religions exist constitute proof that (at the very least all but one of) the various gods that are a cornerstone of nearly all religious beliefs are merely arbitrary constructs of an imagination run amuck?
Today we are all witness to the consequences of stubborn arbitrary religious beliefs.
For those who insist on continuing to believe your god exists, what makes your god so special . . . other than that it is you who are the believer?

No. It could be that they are all looking at God from different viewpoints. Different frames of reference.
Does the fact that science couldn't decide once whether light was particles or a wave constitute proof that (at the very least all but one of) the options were merely arbitrary constructs of an imagination run amuck?

erm can you use a Venn diagram to explain that to me ?
you draw and 'o' which is a religion and a dot inside - their God
and then you draw another 'o' and another God, another dot
and then just put a point somewhere on the paper but not in any of the 'o's and say that is a god and he is outside religion
and it is pretty obvious they arent mutually exclusive and never can be
I think the difficulty is that mutually exclusive has a set ( ha ! pun intended meaning set theory and also agreed and decided ) meaning

No. They are all looking at something that exists displaying actual properties which when observed in the appropriate frame of reference could be verified making mutual agreement possible.
