Re: The nature of G-d
The question now is will openMind accept that his god is illogical and nonsensical and perhaps find a religion and god that are less illogical and nonsensical?

First of all, since most religions in the world are completely false, it is expected that you would find a pattern among religions.
Come again?
How did you get there? Just because they share patterns doesn't make them false. They could be all right as well based on that logic.

Re: Good and Evil
quote:
I have come to the conclusion that most religions are false from the fact that most religions are mutually exclusive. Polytheism and Monotheism for example cannot both be correct because they are mutually exclusive. This is only one small example.
That doesn't necessarily follow. Just because they are contradictory does not mean they are wrong. First, you make the assumption that there is only one God. That may not be true. Furthermore, you make another assumption that God isn't playing a cruel trick, having all religions be true even though they are contradictory. Your argument is based on assumptions that have no basis in fact.
quote:
Most religions teach themselves as truth and all others as false. Therefore, most religions must be false.
See above. Multiple Gods refutes your logic as does a nonsensical God.
Feel free to try again, next time without fantasy assumptions.
