Sorry if I misunderstood. I tend to think of everything on a logical level, not a feeling one.
The way I think about it is that all earthly religions have been interpreted throughout time by people and that people are not perfect. So if anyone were to say to me that my religion wasn't *all* true I would have to agree that there is that possibility.
But - that's me.
Peace?
"The statement in question: "not all religions are all true."
My response:
"To process the logic further, at most, only one religion can be all true. The reader is then faced with the proposition that the author would choose for himself the religion that he believed was all true. If the reader's religion is different from the author's religion, then the reader has just been told that his religion is not all true. Only a religion that is all true can be Truth. Therefore, any religion that is not all true is not Truth. The author has, in effect, made the statement that his religion is the only true religion and that all other religions are not true religions."
