Since it started, religion has become a potent force that everybody, excluding atheists have come to agree with. The thousands of religions scattered over the face of the earth makes one wonder who is serving the true God.
Religion has become a phenomena that unites the world in the short run, but divides it in the long run. But the question remains of who is serving the true God. Answers can only be sought if it can be established that men are indeed serving God. If men are serving God, how then can it be determined whether it is the true God.
The entity of God is the simplest but most mysterious of any of all understandings. Nobody seems to know when or how everybody began to spread the rumour, or the truth of the existence of a God. Is there a God,? or man had just been manipulated to believe that there is God, and that everyone should acknowledge and serve him.
Since it can't be substantially proved that there is a God, since nobody have seen him, the following arguments would be based on the assumption that there is a God.
Religion developed as a system whereby men tried and are trying to reach God. Men don't see God, but still and will continue to believe he exists. Religion is used as the medium or as the way to reach the creator. Some people believe that God and gods exist. While the God is assumed to be the supreme being, the gods are assumed to be intermediaries between them and the God. Many others believe that there are different gods having the same status, and they can worship anyone of them.
Others believe that God is the only one that exists and there are no gods who serve as intermediaries. They believe God can be worshipped directly. In all these, there seem not to be a general agreement that all the religions are serving the same God or god. Even though there will never come a time when the about 7 billion people on earth will come together under the umbrella of one religion, religion has still succeeded in unifying the world in her diversity.
If the God or god is an entity that can only be served in one way, then woe would be to mankind who don't know that only way. Man can only be safe, if the God or god can be reached by many means or ways. If God or god can be reached by only one way, it then means that only one or no religion is serving the true God or god.
This is because if the religions are serving the same God or god, then they will serve him in the same way. If God or god cannot be served the same way, it then means every religion is serving a different God or god. On the other hand, if God or god can be served in different ways, then all the religions are serving the same God or god, but in different ways. If you have enjoyed this post, please share. Thanks.
