What is the true religion?

[destrekor]

I don't think that any religions are true.
The least untrue IMO are Pagans since they generally worship the "god or gods" of nature, and honestly, nature is real..... though I don't think there's any god or gods in there, we could essentially consider "nature" to have some similarities to what might be called a "god."

Natural forces are VERY fvcking powerful
Nature is predictable to some extent, but, a LOT is yet to be discovered

Nature can make it hot during the day, cold at night, wet, windy, snowy, beautiful, crummy, or miserable...

Nature is fvcking powerful man!

Well everything in history has had a god ascribed to it, until we figured out how or at least why things happened the way they do.

We've trimmed down a lot of gods, and in the meantime, the religions have responded by dropping down to one god to cover all bases. For the past 500 or so years, scientists have hastened the pace at which they remove attributes from that remaining god. Soon, we shall have our selves a god carved back down to human stature.

But yeah, pantheism has in its roots some paganism, and also... it's just kind of it's own take on everything. I like the pantheist viewpoint too: god is simply everything nature. Everything. It is not a deity, it simply is everything. Basically, it's chaos theory plus the natural laws, and when given an image, it looks like our current universe - because our universe is god, god is the universe.
In a nutshell, this means:
everything is nature, everything happens because of predictable laws, and so say we all.

Note: that doesn't mean everything is predictable, but when you know the law, and can compute most events happening, you should be able to calculate end products, trajectories, reactions, etc etc etc. But due to the nature of astrophysical chaos, no matter how much you have viewed a certain style event, end results cannot be 100% accurately predicted.

Well, to be fair, I am not a theist of any sort.
Of any religions, I just tend to give the most credence to the self proclaimed pagans of today, many are pantheists. Most of them were not raised to be a pagan, they thought about the world and figured that was what made sense to them (or they maybe got brainwashed, unfortunately)

Anyhow,l I'm far from a quantum physicist, but it's my understanding that most physicists tend to think of the "quantum spin" as being in-deterministic / random.... add the chaos theory to that, and a tiny little randomness can result in massively huge differences on a large scale.... So, I agree that you can't predict results 100% accurately, at best you can come up with probability charts.... after MANY MANY observations
