The Rival Conceptions of God

• If you are a Christian you do not have to
  believe that all the other religions are simply
  wrong all through. If you are an atheist you do
  have to believe that the main point in all the
  religions of the whole world is simply one huge
  mistake.

• Is it true or can it be looked at differently?

  something as simple as pausing. Some people are
  incapable of being arrested by things because
  they are always on the move.

  would it have changed the outcome of it?

  close at hand.

  has changed the way you live or view some aspect
  of life?

  working with them forms a major piece in the
