The Difference Between Orthodoxy and Other Religions
I want God, not my idea of God. – C. S. Lewis
Our God is the One true God, Who described Himself by the words "I am Who I am", and Who shaped man in His own Image; whereas the gods of other faiths can properly be described by the words "we are whomever you want us to be", being nothing more than mental 'idols' and ideological constructs fashioned by the perverted lusts and sinful imaginations of fallen men, in their own corrupted image.
