Theology Summary

Many months of intense research, searching the web, and personal experience have led me to the following conclusions, which will be gradually supported as I build on this site in my spare time, but can in the meantime be supporting by honestly examining the evidence offered from various sites across the web.

Agnosticism ignores the demand to make a decision either way on such a crucial issue.

Atheism denies the truth of God (see definition of God, theistic arguments, and atheistic arguments).

Deism ignores the evidence for God’s involvement in the world.

Dualism denies the superiority of God to Satan, as God is Satan’s Creator.

Maltheism ignores the sound counter-arguments refuting allegations of God’s so-called malevolence.

Paganism ignores the evidence for Christianity.

Pandeism is false because it ignores God’s transcendence over the universe and the fact that if He became the universe then His involvement in human affairs would be unexplained.

Panendeism ignores the changelessness of God established by the KCA.

Panentheism

Pantheism falsely claims that every individual is divine, and ignores the evidence supporting the existence of a personal, transcendent Creator of the universe. It falsely claims that God is physically omnipresent, when His omnipresence is in fact spiritual. Pantheistic religions such as Jainism are therefore false in the key aspect of theology.

Polytheism falsely claims that there are multiple Gods. Polytheistic religions such as Hinduism, Shintoism, and Taoism are therefore false in the key aspect of theology.
