Let's try this again....
What makes one faith more true than another?
expected respone: The one that is true is the one that states it's the word of god.
But, many religions claim to be the word of god...Here's a list for you.
expected reponse: ... ... But none of those have Jesus Christ as their lord and savior.
Well you got me there.
Well shit, that makes PERFECT sense to me. You heard the man, it's time for us to all become Christians. Man, all that logical reasoning blown away and a lack of evidence brushed aside with such a simple sentence.
Um....I nominate this for the "No Shit, Sherlock" award.
That is the most glaringly obvious statement I've ever heard. Only they forget that because they are "faiths," it will never be conclusively known which is the true "faith." The instant one is proven conclusively true, it's no longer a "faith."
The more reliable faith is that faith which is true.
And how do you tell which one is true?
Round and round and round he goes ...
where the logic stops, no one knows!
"'True faith' is rather oxymoronic, doncha think?"
Nah, a dumb guess could correspond to how things truly are. It's faith-based knowledge, or knowing through faith which is a oxymoronic. Justified true belief doesn't accept "just because."
OK, next question: > What makes one person’s faith more true than another person’s faith?
rhutchin: The truer faith is that faith which is more relaible.
If we gave rhutchin a piece of paper that said on both sides "for the most reliable faith, see the other side", I wonder how many times he'd turn the paper over before he figured it out?

This is called a Tautology.
@John: Correspondence to reality. If I have faith that the Sun is a god (which, for the record, I do, although within an animist rather than a transcendent framework), and the Sun *is* a god, then my faith is true. If I have faith that the Sun is a god, and the Sun is *not* a god, then my faith is false.
Centuries of philosophical pondering by some of the brightest people who ever lived...bah, who needs it?
This idiot has trumped them all with cast-iron logic and....er, cast-iron stupidity.

Just popped into my head and felt the need to put it out. At least it's concise
Confused?
