False assumptions 1. When we examine the world's religions we discover that there are some similarities. That's only natural. All religions attempt to explain God to humanity and to outline the way to reach him. It's only to be expected that on some points we reach similar conclusions.
Many teachings are quite contradictory.
We could argue that each religion contains an aspect of truth - the ultimate reality of which is beyond our understanding. The trouble is that very few humans believe that truth is something like that. We believe right is right and wrong is wrong. If we believe that there is a God, logic demands that he is the source of truth and that we are able to understand it. You can't argue that God has created such an immense universe as this and is not quite sure what the truth is and is unable to articulate it to his creation.
