For example, if you believe in a single entity called God, which you apparently do, you are in essence saying that every religion is false that incorporates hard polytheism (the belief that there are many gods which are not manifestations of a single entity). You are also saying that the atheist varieties of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, etc. are false religions.
I don't know why you assume that facts are the only aspect of the world. Especially ones which are distinctly either true or false. You must miss out on so much of the color of existence with that outlook.
As an example, I like athletic dark haired girls. It just does something for me. It's my belief that tight bodied athletic girls are as hot as they can be.
Let's say that you like thicker blondes. Well, you're obviously wrong.

Not really though, because of course, just because something is true for me, doesn't necessarily mean its going to be true for you. My truths don't render your own truths false.

You're thinking of god as this massive objective force. But if god is everywhere, then he's also a part of you, or maybe, you're just a part of him... So of course subjectivity is going to come into play. How do you understand god? It has to be on your own terms.

Tell me, are all universal forces aspects of the same primal force? I know they've theoretically unifed the weak and strong nuclear forces to electromagnetism... but gravity remains apart thus far. What do you think though, if you had to guess beyond the evidence, is there simply one universal force emanating in multiple ways? Or are their multiple forces interacting?

And lastly, would it matter?
