Hi Olund, - I could answer your first question here (What says that God and Jesus are the right one?) - but I have written extensively on other things that you have posted here, and I don't want you to think that I am trying to push 'my' truth onto you. That is not my motivation at all. I don't need to.

Any argument along those lines (the pushing of my opinion) is a bit like me arguing that a friend of yours (whom I have not met) does not exist simply because I have not met him yet. I prefer to respect your right to your own journey.

But I am interested in clarity - which is why I picked up on some of the things that you have said.

(and in the interest of clarity I can't resist pointing out that when we talk about a historical Jesus or Mohammed, we are talking about evidence for actual people by those names who breathed 'middle eastern air', when we talk about Zeus or Hera, we are looking at a historical record that people beleived in these gods - and we are also talking about totally different cultures and time periods too.It gets more confusing still when you bundle all that up and time-warp into the future and also talk about this as CURRENT modalities of faith....hence my interest in clarity. I want to understand what people are meaning and to be understood myself.)

Can you help me too? I would like to understand what you mean by 'agnostic athiest'? My present understanding (based upon current study and dictionary definitions) is that an agnostic is someone who is not sure re gods or God and so gives equal weighting to all modalities of faith, discounting nothing - whereas for an atheist the issue is settled - he/she is sure that there is no God.

thanks olund
