Part 4.

4. Existence of many, different religions - If there is a God, we can probably assume that one of the many world religions is the "correct" one. This is because different religions hold contradictory views. For example, Jews do not accept the New Testament as a real religious text and Christians do not accept the Koran. Clearly, one of these two view must be "wrong" (or at least not fully correct) in the eyes of God. But even further, there are remote locations in the world, where people worship many Gods and have never even heard of Jesus. What are we to make of these people? If there were a God, would he create a world and then create people who will never learn about him? And more, would he then say that people who do not accept him will go to hell? Doesn't seem fair.
