There can only be this or that.  No two things can occupy the same space at the same time.  Either there is truth or there is untruth.  There is life or there is death.  Choice is acceptance or rejection.  There is peace or there is war.  There is deism for all or there is atheism for some.

Upon an attack of apoplexy, Thomas Paine experienced his first step unto death.  Thereafter, self-declared yet in full frame of mind, his letter explains how a “Devil ” and a “Jesus ” became a Christian storyboard that blacked out even a “God ” function.

In short there are no absolute or legitimate “Religions” because a god’s revelation(s) can only be through a god’s works.  Anything that is not a god’s work is an invention of man.  There is no evidence that man reveals god’s destiny nor is there existing human ability to decipher or prove another scribe’s interpretation thereof ... simply because “God has no religion” - Gandhi.
