       It seems very unlikely that any particular faith has everything correct. It   
   seems more like there's truth associated with all of them, or at least all that   
   God (or whatever) has any involvment with. One of the basic easy concepts these   
   atheists seem unable to comprehend is that people can refer to the same being   
   in   
   a lot of different ways, and have a lot of different beliefs about him. The   
   same   
   is true of the sun and moon, etc. It's another easy basic starting line that   
   atheists can't get as "far" as, yet they think they're authorities on the   
   topic.   
   They think the fact that there are a lot of different beliefs about and names   
   for God means there are somehow lots of different gods, while at the same time   
   somehow also believing there are none. LOL...again just describing the position   
   they're in is hilarious.
