The One true God? Really?

My favorite keep-my-sanity-while-driving-in-traffic radio talk show has been having an on going discussion on faith, and heaven. Is there a God, is there a heaven, what proof is there. Click on the link and listen to the audio post “Faith”.

I know that I’m not giving this a proper introduction and there fore I’m going to jack this whole thing up, bear with me.

We believe in God, Jesus, Heaven because that’s the religion we were raised with. Muslims have their belief system because that’s how they were raised. Buddhists believe how they were raised and so on and so one. And every one of them believes they are the right way and the rest of the world is wrong.

I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to The Father except through Me. John 14:6

Our justification that our way is the one true way and everyone who doesn’t believe in God the Father, will burn in hell.

So I come to this. is it possible that every religion has their own afterlife and it’s right? We don’t know what our Heaven will be like. No body does. Is it possible that our afterlife is different for every single one of us? My heaven could be a beach with endless margaritas and cabana boys. My sister’s could be 24 hour yoga. How do we know there is an afterlife? Because the bible says so? So, we now pick and choose what chapters and verses are literal and which ones are figurative?

Isn’t every religion based on the same basic principles? A higher being and an afterlife? Is it possible there is one single higher being and we all just call it by a different name?

He wants proof there is a god. Is there proof there isn’t a god? Why do we think our god is the One True God for the entire world? Is there proof there is a Heaven? What is that proof and what is it like? My afterlife could very well be as specialized for me, as yours would be for you.

Oh and lets not get started down the road of faith… believing without proof.
