Why No Two People Have Ever Mentioned The Same "God".

Today, someone said in a discussion group:

 "I accepted Christ...

I began to understand. 
You could easily have this experience too,"
----

But is that true?

Consider:

The reason there are so many religions, and so many rival (mutually exclusive) sects of religions, and so many rogue independent religious narratives,
and so much divergence in the subjective experiences of "God", is that:

 it all depends on a myriad of factors for our individual biology and psychology.

Anyone who ~is not you~
is unable to experience what you did, no matter what.
- And for the same reason you can't experience what anyone else has.

Giving an experience the same name someone else gives theirs,
or using the same words and phrases to express the narrative those experiences are perceived and defined within, ...
creates an illusion of sameness.

Carl Sagan made this point well, when someone asked him if he believes in a "God".
He explained how the term is used to create the illusion of agreement with people
with whom we do not actually agree.

Just as "No Two People Have Ever Read The Same Book",
no two people have ever spiritually "heard" the same "message".

Same words does not = same meaning
nor same experience.

This is why
No Two People
Have Ever Mention The Same "God".
The figure theists are having a personal relationship with
is unique for them.
This remains true, no matter if there is an external and literal Super-Being or not.

Human relationships work the same way.

Two people can both refer to the same actually existing person.

But their only direct personal relationship to that person is the relationship they have with the holographic representation (which formed in their mind) OF that person.

That figure. The one in their mind. That's where the relationship happens. And that "person" (as they know it; as they experience it) is unique.

The other person has a not-the-same conceptualization of the person in their mind. That's the figure they're relating to.
They experientially "know" the hologram;
not the external person whom their hologram represents.

The same would apply to anyone who has a relationship with a god;
no matter if there really is an external, autonomously self-aware Super-Being or not. And no matter how much of if it they might/maybe be objectively accurately getting right.

Meanwhile, that holographic representation ... that figure which exists in the mind, ... was mentally assembled with pieces of characters from:
whichever religious lore in their culture has influenced it.

That's why the "God" someone in India "finds",
is so different from the one someone in Egypt finds, and so different from the one someone in America's Bible-belt finds, etc..

It's also why claims of supernatural "near death experiences" reflect the local culture of the experiencers.

It's "real", in the sense that those experiences are happening.

It's "real", in the sense that those experiences have a very effect on the mind and life of the experiencers.

But probably not much of it's "real" in the most objective sense of word.

There probably isn't a literal Super-Person named "Jesus" hanging out in a hidden floating sky-castle. But that's ok. So long as the "Jesus" Christians have "in mind" isn't compelling the believer to say and do things which hurt others.
