Do Christians Worship Different Gods?

I would indeed recommend Robert Wright's book The Evolution of GodAs I see it (and I think you would agree GDR) Wright would advocate, if he advocates any form of god at all, a rather ambiguous and generic presence that is not really compatible with a specifically Christian (or indeed any other particular faith) notion of god. Rather it is something that is ultimately responsible for the apparent existence of objective moral inclinations (truths?) that are exhibited by intelligent beings.A sort of deistic "why" to the question of morality and altruism.I don't agree with everything Wright says at all. But his less than dismissive views of the ultimate source of morality as a proponent of evolutionary psychology are interesting and worth any skeptic at least looking at IMHO.

If there is a God He is indisputably British. This is just frankly inarguable.........

Ahem.Just because I move in mysterious ways doesn't mean I am not here. Edited by AdminPD, : No reason given.

The tree of life as opposed to the tree of knowledge?How many of these trees were there...?

So we got knowledge but not immortality?And we could have had both.....?Which would have made us "gods".....?

So the conclusion here is that different flavours of Christian do indeed worship different gods. Is that correct?Where do the "false" god concepts originate from......?

But which version of the "Lord".....?That is kinda the point of this thread isn't it?

Well not ALL Christians. There are a few notable exceptions. Preachers of HateBut doesn't the God you believe to be correct essentially match your own moral stance? A moral stance that is a product of your own social environment? Isn't the version of God you are advocating exactly a perfected reflection of yourself in this sense at least?

At what point does a different interpretation effectively become a different god?Sounds to me like you and GDR are talking about different gods to all practical intents and purposes.

Well I have to give you credit for practising what you preach.

That actually sounds like quite a dangerous approach to me. If you dispossess yourself of responsibility for your own moral stance then it becomes impossible to morally reason. Now in your case you have found God and adopted a forgiving and compassionate moral stance. All well and good. But others equally convinced that their version of God is correct have adopted an abhorrant and hateful stance (as previously linked to).If any challenge to one’s moral stance can be met with But it isn’t my moral stance, it is the one handed to me by God then I don’t see how we can hope to reason our way to a moral position and take responsibility for it’s consequences.
