For instance; Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have truth to it. I personally believe while Jesus/Yeshua may have existed that he wasn't G-d. Just a master Rabbi. However, do you believe all religions can lead to g-d or have truths to it? Excluding Satanism and spinoff hodgepodge like Scientology. Coul thee be truth to the Baha'i Faith?

Depends on how you define 'truth'.

Would be a LOT easier to define if religion and philosophy hadn't branched-off from one another.​
I define truth as events that may have happened. However, Jesus existing or Buddha giving away his prized possessions to help the poor.

There is a lot of truth in almost all religions, so much so that we have retained some of these truths in modern society.

John Stuart Mill's Liberal harm principle of "doing what you want as long as you aren't harming anyone else" is basically the core foundation of Western society and is based on "The Golden Rule" found in almost all religions.

What the Harm Principle leaves out from religion is that the harm to the individual (drugs etc) doesn't just affect the individual - but has an impact on the society as a whole too :jbhmm:

Ever since i got into greek/roman mythology as a young kid i started questioning religion

You mean to tell me all these ancient greeks and romans lived and died believing in their gods for thousands of years only to be told by modern religions that theyre own religion is the true one

I believe in a higher power in this universe but religion is man made i can never buy into it

I think they all have lessons we can learn from but treating religion like a rule book... :mjlol:
