If you reduce an entire religion down to a single axiom, then sure, they can be entirely contradictory.

But religions aren't like that, they are each a thousand different beliefs, rituals, and directives. There are enough similarities in message to see a commonality between them.

Like you said, it's all the same path to God, some paths are a bit more meandering than others, and some claim that there are no other paths.

"But religions aren’t like that" Yeah, some religions are like that.

Religions are a single axiom and nothing else? Which ones?

[–] sfu@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

No, what I meant was, that two religions can be contradictory based on just one belief. Depends on the belief though.
