I say that all are calling on the same God…it is not good to feel that my religion is true and the other religions are false. All seek the same object. A mother prepares dishes to suit the stomachs of her children….God has made religions to suit different aspirants, time

When Jack visits Christmasland and tries to take Santa's place, he isn't being true to himself or his world view. In fact, his world view ends up polluting the place he visits until the whole thing ends rather violently.
Thankfully, Jack is already dead.
But I love the way all of the holidays get together respectfully in the epilogue.

Wanted to comment here. I think that the people that claim that all gods point to God are trying to get out of defending their faith. We can't all be right when we all believe such vastly different things. My God is unchanging, and I think that most religions would claim the same of theirs...therefore, why would He go incognito just to suite someone else's taste? He's not around to please us, so that arguement just doesn't make sense.
I think that when people begin to unwrap the tenets of their faith, faiths outside of Christianity seem to fall apart at the seams. Therefore, a good explanation for their lack of explanation is that everything points back to the place. Cop out if you ask me. =)
But hey...that's just my two cents, right?

Thanks for dropping by, and for the great reference on the movie! I'll have to watch it through that 'lense'.
Kaye,
You make a great point that I didn't really think of. I certainly think that being a 'unifying' rather than separating force certainly has something to do with it. However, your point about it also being the easy way out makes a lot of sense. Basically there seems to be an avoidance of conflict both externally AND (as you point out) internally. Thanks for that! Your two cents is quite valuable to me!

I agree that other "gods" are certainly a deception that draws us away from the One True God. Often they fulfill selfish desires (i.e. the serpent's appeal to Eve about eating the apple). Often I see people evaluate which religion they should choose based on how good it works for them.
You make a great point! Thanks!

Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I have said you are gods'? If he called them 'gods,' to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken— what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, 'I am God's Son'?
The sermons taught on this passage are few - I think I've heard... zero in over twenty-odd years.
Thanks for a great post!
