Christians need not believe that all other religions are totally wrong.
To make an analogy: there is only one right answer to a math problem, but some wrong answers are closer to being right than others. The implication of this passage is that religion can actually lead one to take a more fair-minded, nuanced view of the world.
Active Themes. Morality, Religion, and Reason. Hinduism, for instance, is a Pantheistic religion. On the other hand, there are many who claim that God is infinitely good, and always favors good over evil. Jews, Muslims or Mohammedans, as Lewis calls them and Christians subscribe to such a view. Lewis divides religions into the pantheistic view and the moral view. It all depends on the point of view. The first of these views—the one that thinks God beyond good and evil—is called Pantheism.
It was held by the great Prussian philosopher Hegel and, as far as I can understand them, by the Hindus. The other view is held by Jews, Mohammedans and Christians. And with this big difference between Pantheism and the Christian idea of God, there usually goes another. Pantheists usually believe that God, so to speak, animates the universe as you animate your body: that the universe almost is God, so that if it did not exist He would not exist either, and anything you find in the universe is a part of God.
The Christian idea is quite different. They think God invented and made the universe—like a man making a picture or composing a tune. Lewis Doodle HT…. Lewis The Origin or 1,2,3,4. Lewis The Grand Miracle by C. Stuart Knechtle What is the Goal of the C. Lewis Society? Stuart Knechtle Thoughts on C.

According, to the people who hold this viewpoint, as an individual grows and experiences life his perspective of looking at everything changes; he judges everything in accordance with his experience looking at both sides of the argument. He would accept both the shortcomings and benefits of that thing. As a result, these people believe that even before reaching the nearing point of Devine viewpoint, the distinctions or diversities vanishes completely Cunningham, pp.
Cancer considered as a very serious and acute disease as it kills the patient; however, doctor treating that patient cures him off cancer then he would not be a dishonest person, everything depends on the way a person perceives it. The further and contradictory idea is that God is unquestionably good or righteous, a God who takes sides, who loves love and hates hatred, who wants us to behave in one way and not in another.
