Would you be surprised when you arrived at wherever God wants you ... If you found out Christianity, and all the other religions, were just tools adapted by God in order to try and speak to everyone in whatever way they would listen?
No. Your statement for Christianity is bogus as it isn't in the Bible. Also, how can there be more than one truth? That's why the topic for this thread. If one's beliefs are true, then there should be a way to falsify it. For example, a true religious book about God should be able to be backed up by science. If it can't for the science parts such as the how we came to be on this universe and Earth, then it isn't a valid truth book. Something not explained or being contradicted would have to be a falsification.
f so ... Tell me why you think the Christian God couldn't do it if he wanted to ...
From the beginning, we know that the Christian God of the Trinity wanted his creations to have free will. It started with the angels. If there was no Tree of Knowledge and Satan being on Earth, then there would not have been a choice. To contradict Satan being tossed down to Earth, one just has to show there is no evil in the world. However, this cannot be done, so there is evil in the world. This is more understandable and acceptable. What about the Tree of Knowledge? I would think one has to show that something that can detect guilt (strong emotion) or a lie cannot be created. We find that we have a lie detector.
