Personal experience. The God of Christianity answers prayers, you just have to ask for the right things, like experience or other proofs. I gave it a shot when I had nothing to lose and my prayers were answered in powerful ways. The crucifixion was a true event, as was the transfiguration and resurrection; I don't just believe the former, but KNOW. If you knew they were true, you would also know Christianity is incompatible with those other faiths.

I believe in one absolute truth, not relativism, not plurality. Either something is true or something is false; it cannot be both true and false. In my opinion there is a pecking order to which religions are true and which are false and to what degree. The only thing I know with great certainty, and what I would stake my soul on, is that Christ died on the cross and was resurrected. Since Christianity is mono-theistic and a spiritual successor to Judaism, and in Judaism you are told that their are spirits out there who try to deceive the world, and based on my research there are indeed documented cases of such spirits setting natives against the God of the Hebrews (read up on Spirit of the Rainforest, for instance), my opinion is that many religions are in error and followers are following teachings of the fallen angels.edit on 17-3-2011 by 547000 because: (no reason given)
What would be a great translation of the Ramayana that I could read and where to find it on line ?
