Ok najitafutia shida but here I go. A child doesn't know that it's helpless. The senses trigger it to cry.

Brother, So as not to distract brother Alphdoti as he ponders the matters of doctrine, I have elected to chat with you about your question here. You have asked why not 'different faiths one God'? Why different faiths?

Different perceptions, culture and symbols, times, the 'vastness of knowlege'.

How do you think 'mindset' is a factor in 'faith'?

@Tycho, does love really exist ? Is it comprehensible or even describable ?
Does it evoke a discernible pattern of behaviour ? Can we analyze it further or is it just an emotion that defies rational examination ? Love is what you think or make it to be. It's a feeling that's unique to you and has no measure or generic definition. It's just like sadness or even fear. Most of us can understand what you are going through but can't really be experience your feeling. It's unfair for someone to ask you to explain how you feel about them because they will judge you on the shallowness of your answer. Only an experienced player or a poet can give you the perfect answer to that question.
BBI will solve it :)

What happens if the parameters and values one mind is set on is not the parameters and values another mind is set on? For example, when an atheist insists there is no god (though he knows it not that he himself has a god) to a theist who insists his is the the only God? There are 2 gods there. 2 faiths.

But up to the point that Mindsets are the object of the spiritual life. But spirituality is about doing away with Mindsets.

You want to say it is separate from the body, 'physical life'? I think there is just one 'life'. It is not divisible. So you see you and I have different 'faiths'. 2 faiths. Mindsets.
